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
Wanneer de meeste studenten beginnen met een vormtraining, hun belangrijkste focus ligt op het leren van de juiste volgorde van de technieken om het patroon op de voorgeschreven manier uit te voeren. Het is ongebruikelijk dat een beginnende of zelfs halfgevorderde student te veel nadenkt over wat hij met de technieken doet en waartegen hij zich verdedigt. Is de techniek eenvoudig of

Sinds ik ben toegewijd aan het onderwijzen van zelfverdediging, je zou denken dat ik
One of the best thing about the martial arts such as Taekwondo is the ability for fathers, mothers, kinderen, grandchildren and other family members to train together. You develop a mutual interest you cannot replicate by sitting in the stands watching your children play baseball, soccer, etc.. Besides training with all three of my kids and my wife, who trained
Martial artists always created their arts to solve a problem. Judo was created when Dr. Jigoro Kano put his mind to solving the problem of how to train at 100 percent effort without getting someone injured by the crippling techniques of Japanese Ju-Jitsu. Helio Gracie created the basis for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu by trying to solve the problem of how a

Lou Breslow and John Patrick set the film in Cambodia allowing Twentieth-Century Fox to use stock footage of the recently discovered ruins of Angkor Wat.

Op april 27, 2015, I had the honor of promoting my sons to Black Ranks in our system of self-defense. I promoted my oldest son Kenneth to 2nd Degree Black Rank. Kenneth was the first student I promoted to Black Rank on April 27, 2013. Over the past year and a half, Kenneth en ik hebben gewerkt aan een
Zodra u de rang van zwarte band bereiken, u vindt het moeilijk zo niet onmogelijk om te trainen in de klas. Tenzij je veel zwarte gordels, die om beurten kunnen nemen roterende, zult u de meeste van uw tijd lesgeven. The window of training in class also closes the longer that you are a black belt.
