Την Πέμπτη, Ιανουάριος 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
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. Ωστόσο, Jones’ frequent problems outside of the Octagon would keep him from being considered the
Τον Μάιο του 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.

A few weeks ago, 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.

When I was a kid growing up in St. Louis, the only martial art that I had heard about was Karate. Taekwondo was considered Korean Karate. I did not know about any of the grappling arts at that point.

3 φορές πάνω από το τελευταίο 150 χρόνια, οι πολεμικοί καλλιτέχνες δημιούργησαν πιο σύγχρονες εκδοχές παλαιότερων πολεμικών τεχνών. Σε αντίθεση με πολλά προηγούμενα συστήματα, οι καινοτόμοι αυτών των σύγχρονων πολεμικών τεχνών επέλεξαν να μοιραστούν αυτές τις πληροφορίες με ξένους και να διαδώσουν τις τέχνες τους σε όλο τον κόσμο. Η διάδοση του Τζούντο από τον Jigoro Kano είναι η καλύτερη μελέτη περίπτωσης για το πώς να αναπτύξετε και να διαδώσετε ένα πολεμικό
Έχω ξοδέψει πολύ χρόνο μελετώντας διαφορετικά συστήματα κατάταξης. Το σύστημα κατάταξης φαίνεται να είναι μια σύγχρονη έννοια που ξεκίνησε από τον Dr. Jigaro Kano, ένας εκπαιδευτικός, που ήθελε ένα σύστημα βαθμολόγησης για να χωρίζει τους μαθητές.

Τον Νοέμβριο του 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.
