Historian i sporteve luftarake dhe artist luftarak
Posts about martial arts concepts and history.
Në maj 7, 2016, my daughter Caity returned to Taekwondo competition for the first time in eight years. As her dad but also her coach, I tried to dissuade her from sparring until we had a few more months but she was adamant about sparring at the tournament. Caity likes forms but she always preferred sparring. Reluctantly, I agreed. Unë
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
Disa javë më parë, my second foray into the martial arts came full circle. My daughter started studying Taekwondo again after more than five years away from the sport. It is actually Caity, who brought me back to martial arts in the summer of 2000. After my natural father passed away in July 1999, Unë shkova në një palestër-vjeçar
Kur shumica e studentëve fillojnë formimin e formave, fokusi i tyre kryesor është të mësojnë sekuencën e duhur të teknikave për të kryer modelin në mënyrën e përshkruar. Unusualshtë e pazakontë për një student fillestar apo edhe të ndërmjetëm të mendojë shumë për atë që po bën me teknikat dhe për atë që po mbron kundër. A është teknika drejt ose përpara
As a taekwondo stylist, I spent my first few years of training trying to develop high kicks. I could throw crescent kicks head height pretty easily and even an occasional side kick. Për pjesën më të madhe, my kicks tended to land on the body not the head. Megjithatë, high kicks are still beautiful to behold and with several spectacular head
On St. Patrick’s Day, Mars 17, 1905, St. Louis sports fans were treated to a special match between local professional wrestler George Baptiste and traveling Japanese jujitsu practitioner Arata Suzuki. Baptiste delighted local fans by quickly defeating Suzuki in two straight falls. George Baptiste was a professional wrestler and all-around athlete, whose powerful swimming saved many St. Louisans from drowning
Javën e kaluar, 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.”
3 times over the last 150 vjet, martial artists created more modern versions of older martial arts. Unlike many prior systems, the innovators of these modern martial arts chose to share this information with outsiders and spread their arts around the world. Jigoro Kano’s dissemination of Judo is the best case study for how to develop and spread a martial
Kohët e fundit, Dëgjova një podcast lidhje me identifikimin e qartë pse bëni ndonjë gjë, sepse është e rëndësishme për të dhënë në mënyrë efektive mesazhin tuaj. Unë fillova një blog artet marciale për një arsye kryesore dhe një çift atyre më pak. Unë jam duke shkuar për të mbuluar arsyen kryesore sot. I was not satisfied with most of the martial arts instruction related to self-defense. Ju
Një mit i përbashkët në artet marciale është se një mjeshtër studime për 40 vjet, zhvillon të kuptuarit pothuajse mbinjerëzore për vetëmbrojtje, krijon sistemin e përsosur dhe rezulton breza të luftëtarëve unbeatable. Para popullaritetit të artit ushtarak të përziera, many of the magazines such as Black Belt were full of stories about which martial art was the best. If you polled
