Posts about martial arts concepts and history.
Të enjten, Janar 31, 2020, Grandmaster Pat Weseman promoted me to 4th Dan in Taekwondo at the Advanced Class. When I started classes with Grandmaster Weseman and her husband Art, I did not foresee reaching this milestone. I originally started taking classes with my nephew Jim in Spring 1995. After getting married in 1996, I stopped taking classes for several
Me Choque, Vëllimi. 2 (Amazon affiliate link), Roberto Pedreira merr historinë e Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu në atë që ai e konsideron lulëzimin e tij në Brazil, 1950 – 1960. Përveç Carlos dhe Helio Gracie, disa akademi të tjera, siç janë ato të Oswaldo Fadda, po lulëzonin gjithashtu. Xhudoja po fitonte popullaritet por nuk e kishte kapërcyer Jiu-Jitsu në popullaritet.

The legendary Bruce Lee wrote an article for Black Belt magazine many years ago which challenged the efficiency and efficacy of kata, forms or pattern training. Ever since the publication of this article, many other martial artists have begun to challenge or question the need for forms training. Since I am dedicated to teaching self defense, you would think I
Most self-defense programs are made up of striking or grappling techniques. A few self-defense systems use techniques from both. Striking and grappling techniques can both be effective but sometimes a defender needs an equalizer. Policeman carry night sticks and tasers for this reason.

I have spent a lot of time studying different rank systems. Sistemi i gradave duket të jetë një koncept modern i filluar nga Dr.. Jigaro Kano, një edukator, të cilët dëshironin një sistem notimi për të ndarë studentët. Gjatë shekullit të ardhshëm, numerous styles adopted the belt rank system but the only commonality was the belt systems meant what the creator decided
Në nëntor 12, 1993 at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado, a fourth degree black belt in the little known art of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu (commonly called Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the United States) cut through an eight man style versus style martial arts tournament. Royce Gracie would turn the martial arts world on its head. After his walk through the
This week my oldest son Kenneth turns 20 vjeç. Besides finishing school, Kenneth’s biggest focus is the martial arts. He is particularly passionate about teaching self-defense.
