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
Når de fleste elever starter former træning, deres hovedfokus er på at lære den rigtige rækkefølge af teknikkerne til at udføre mønsteret på den foreskrevne måde. Det er usædvanligt, at en begynder eller endda mellemstuderende tænker for meget over, hvad de laver med teknikkerne, og hvad de forsvarer sig imod. Er teknikken lige frem eller
Den legendariske Bruce Lee skrev en artikel til magasinet Black Belt for mange år siden, som udfordrede effektiviteten og virkningen af kata, formularer eller mønster uddannelse. Lige siden udgivelsen af denne artikel, mange andre martial kunstnere er begyndt at udfordre eller spørgsmålstegn ved behovet for formularer uddannelse. Da jeg dedikeret til at lære selvforsvar, du skulle tro jeg

Når du når rang af sorte bælte, du vil finde det vanskeligt, hvis ikke umuligt at træne i klassen. Medmindre du har masser af sorte bælter, der kan skiftes til at rotere, vil du tilbringe det meste af din tid på at undervise.

After watching some of mixed martial arts legend Bas Rutten’s fights from Pancrase, it struck me what we were doing wrong. Pancrase banned closed fists to the head. Rutten, an accomplished muay
Michael Hyatt recently wrote an article about retirement being a modern invention and dirty word. I agree with his views with one caveat. At different seasons in our life, it is time to let somethings go to make space for new things. To do new things well, we sometimes have to let go of the old. When I was in
Recently, I heard a podcast about clearly identifying why you do anything because it is important to effectively deliver your message. I started a martial arts blog for one main reason and a couple lesser ones. I am going to cover the main reason today. I was not satisfied with most of the martial arts instruction related to self-defense. You
