Մարտական սպորտի պատմաբան և մարտարվեստի վարպետ
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. Սակայն, Jones’ frequent problems outside of the Octagon would keep him from being considered the

I switched to Taekwondo with my nephew in the Spring of 1995. Taekwondo brought
Մայիսի 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. Caity likes forms but she always preferred sparring. Reluctantly, I agreed. Ես
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
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, I went on a year-long fitness

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. Որոնց մեծ մասը, my kicks tended to land on the body not the head. Սակայն, high kicks are still beautiful to behold and with several spectacular head
Անցյալ շաբաթ, 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.”
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
Երբ դուք հասնում կոչում սեւ գոտի, Դուք կարող եք գտնել այն դժվար, եթե ոչ անհնար է մարզվելը դասարանում. Եթե դուք ունեք շատ սեւ գոտիների, ով կարող է հերթով պտտվող, Դուք կարող եք ծախսել մեծ մասը Ձեր ժամանակը սովորեցնելու. The window of training in class also closes the longer that you are a black belt.
