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. 然而, 我不喜欢其中的政治考虑
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
五月 7, 2016, my daughter Caity returned to Taekwondo competition for the first time in eight years.

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.

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
当大多数学生开始表格训练时, 他们的主要重点是学习正确的技术顺序以规定的方式执行模式. 对于初学者甚至中级学生来说，对他们在使用技术方面正在做些什么以及他们所要捍卫的东西考虑得太多，这是不寻常的. 该技术是直截了当还是
A question I’m often asked during classes and seminars is “Can I become invincible by learning self-defense?” The short answer is “不” 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
传奇人物李小龙多年前为黑带杂志撰写了一篇文章，挑战型的效率和功效, 形式或模式培训. 自这篇文章发表以来, 许多其他的武术家也开始提出质疑或问题，需要培训形式. 由于我致力于传授自卫, 你会认为我
One of the best thing about the martial arts such as Taekwondo is the ability for fathers, mothers, 孩子, 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, <跨度bbox_x“812”bbox_y =“1370”bbox_w“19”bbox_h =“20”的fsize =“14”fweight =“3”红=“255”绿色=“255”蓝色=“255”阿尔法“.
