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. <বিঘত bbox_x = "289" bbox_y = "724" bbox_w = "56" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = ", I dislike the political considerations made in
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

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. আমি
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. 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, আমি এক বছর ধরে ফিটনেস নিয়েছিলাম
Last 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
When most students start forms training, their main focus is on learning the proper sequence of the techniques to perform the pattern in the prescribed manner. It is unusual for a beginning or even intermediate student to think too much about what they are doing with the techniques and what they are defending against. Is the technique straight forward or
A question I’m often asked during classes and seminars is “Can I become invincible by learning self-defense?” The short answer is “না” 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
The legendary Bruce Lee wrote an article for Black Belt magazine many years ago which challenged the efficiency and efficacy of kata, ফর্ম বা প্যাটার্ন প্রশিক্ষণ. Ever since the publication of this article, অন্যান্য অনেক মার্শাল শিল্পীদের ফরম প্রশিক্ষণের জন্য প্রয়োজন চ্যালেঞ্জ বা প্রশ্ন করা শুরু করে. আমি স্ব প্রতিরক্ষা অধ্যাপনা নিবেদিত করছি যেহেতু, you would think I
One of the best thing about the martial arts such as Taekwondo is the ability for fathers, mothers, শিশু, 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, <বিঘত bbox_x = "812" bbox_y = "1559" bbox_w = "19" bbox_h = "20" fsize = "14" fweight = "3" লাল = "255" সবুজ = "255" নীল = "255" আলফা = ".
