Posts about martial arts concepts and principles.
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. Cependant, Jones’ frequent problems outside of the Octagon would keep him from being considered the
We included four or more martial arts in our academy’s curriculum. When I look at these arts, I see a distinct reason that I studied each one. These arts cover striking, grappling, ground fighting and a practical self-defense weapon, the cane. I started studying Shotokan karate in the Fall of 1994. I switched to Taekwondo with my nephew in the Spring of 1995. Taekwondo brought
Sur mai 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.

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

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
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. Pour la plupart, my kicks tended to land on the body not the head. Cependant, high kicks are still beautiful to behold and with several spectacular head
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.”
Récemment, J'ai entendu un podcast sur l'identification clairement pourquoi vous faites quelque chose, car il est important de fournir efficacement votre message. J'ai commencé un blog d'arts martiaux pour une raison principale et quelques autres moins. Je vais couvrir la raison principale aujourd'hui. I was not satisfied with most of the martial arts instruction related to self-defense. You
Une fois que vous atteignez le rang de ceinture noire, vous trouverez qu'il est difficile, voire impossible, pour l'entraînement en classe. Sauf si vous avez beaucoup de ceintures noires, qui peut prendre des virages tournant, vous passerez la plupart de votre temps à l'enseignement. The window of training in class also closes the longer that you are a black belt. How do you continue
