Posts about martial arts concepts and history.
Ons ingesluit vier of meer martial arts in ons akademie se kurrikulum. As ek kyk na hierdie kunste, Ek sien 'n duidelike rede dat ek elkeen bestudeer. Hierdie kuns dekking treffende, worstel, grond gevegte en 'n praktiese self-verdediging wapen, die rottang. Ek begin studeer Shotokan Karate in die val van 1994. I switched to Taekwondo with my nephew in the Spring of 1995. Taekwondo brought
At our fantasy football draft this year, one of the other owners asked me who I thought was the best mixed martial artist of all time. I told him that based on skill, the greatest mixed martial artist of all time was Jon “Bones” Jones. Egter, Jones’ frequent problems outside of the Octagon would keep him from being considered the
My daughter asked me the other day if I had seen any of the Olympic Judo. She was surprised when I told her I had not. Besides being a black belt in Taekwondo, I’m a brown belt in Judo. Like both my sons, Caity trained in both TKD and Judo as well. Egter, Ek hou nie van die politieke oorwegings wat in gemaak word nie
When I earned my 1st Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo during December 2005 at Willow Martial Arts, I had already studied Judo for three months. My instructor, Master Pat Weseman, is a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Judo as well as a 6th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. With this background, a number of our self-defenses were Judo based, so I
Toe ek die eerste keer in gevegskuns begin oefen het in 1995, die stories wat verband hou met die stigting van die meeste vechtkunsten was redelik fantasties met bomenslike prestasies van fisieke bekwaamheid en vegvermoë wat aan hul stigters toegeskryf word. Of Kung Fu, Karate of Judo, die stigter het die vaardighede wat in vorige gevegskuns geleer is, geneem, het dit verander en almal verslaan. Hierdie eise is
Op Vrydag, Oktober 14, and Saturday, Oktober 15, 1904, 42 wrestlers in 7 weight classes met in the first Olympic Games contested in the freestyle wrestling method. Prior Olympic Games were contested in the Greco-Roman style of wrestling. Die 1904 Summer Olympics was held in conjunction with the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, MO. St. Louis was well-represented in
Verlede week, it was testing preparation at Willow Martial Arts. We went through the walking drills, forms and self-defense required for Taekwondo testing. As I observed the students preparing, I remembered a statement Master Pat Weseman often told me when I was a colored belt preparing for my next Taekwondo test. “Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.”
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. The laws of the United States ban most weapons but one tool legal to carry anywhere is
After watching the recent mixed martial arts match between Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping, I was reminded of how powerful a set of techniques kicks can be. The leg is much stronger than the arms, so kicks are one of the most powerful techniques in the striking arts. The question is should you use kicks in a self-defense situation. Ek
Wanneer die meeste studente begin vorm opleiding, hulle hooffokus is om die regte volgorde van die tegnieke aan te leer om die patroon op die voorgeskrewe wyse uit te voer. Dit is ongewoon dat 'n begin- of selfs intermediêre student te veel dink oor wat hulle met die tegnieke doen en waarteen hulle verdedig.. Is die tegniek reguit vorentoe of
