Posts about martial arts concepts and principles.
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. لكن, أنا لا أحب الاعتبارات السياسية الواردة في
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
في مايو 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.

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, ذهبت إلى اللياقة البدنية لمدة عام

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
عندما يبدأ معظم الطلاب في التدريب على النماذج, ينصب تركيزهم الأساسي على تعلم التسلسل الصحيح للتقنيات لتنفيذ النمط بالطريقة المحددة. من غير المعتاد أن يفكر الطالب المبتدئ أو حتى المتوسط كثيرًا فيما يفعلونه بالتقنيات وما الذي يدافعون ضده. هل التقنية مستقيمة أم
A question I’m often asked during classes and seminars is “Can I become invincible by learning self-defense?” The short answer is “ليس” but they are asking the wrong questions. Better questions would be: “What can I do to make myself a less desirable target?” “How can I get in better shape to successfully repel an attack?” “What techniques should
كتب الأسطوري بروس لي مقالا لمجلة الحزام الأسود منذ سنوات عديدة يتحدى فيه كفاءة وفعالية الكاتا, أشكال أو نمط التدريب. منذ نشر هذا المقال, وقد بدأت العديد من الفنانين الدفاع عن النفس أخرى للطعن أو التشكيك في الحاجة إلى التدريب أشكال. منذ أنا كرست لتعليم الدفاع عن النفس, كنت أعتقد أنني
One of the best thing about the martial arts such as Taekwondo is the ability for fathers, mothers, الأطفال, 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, الخ. Besides training with all three of my kids and my wife, who trained
