Jag tittade på UFC Fight Night prelims på Facebook lördag kväll. Striderna alla slutade i innan tiden gått ut. Man slutade i den tredje omgången, en i den andra omgången och tre i den första omgången. One of the things that I notice was that none of the fighters in the first four fights were attacking from guard. They
När jag var liten växte upp i St. Louis, den enda kampsport som jag hade hört talas om var Karate. Taekwondo ansågs koreanska Karate. Jag visste inte om någon av de brottas konst på den punkten. Emellertid, KPLR Kanal 11 ran a series of films on Saturdays for a month featuring Mr. Moto, played by Peter Lorre.
3 times over the last 150 år, martial artists created more modern versions of older martial arts. Unlike many prior systems, the innovators of these modern martial arts chose to share this information with outsiders and spread their arts around the world.

Varför traditionella krigiska konstnärer fortsätter att förakta lärdom av mixed martial arts?

En av de Taekwondo turneringar, där jag brukade domare, has a submission grappling division. When I had a break, Jag
I have spent a lot of time studying different rank systems. The rank system seems to be a modern concept started by Dr. Jigaro Kano, an educator, who wanted a system of grading to separate students. Over the next century, numerous styles adopted the belt rank system but the only commonality was the belt systems meant what the creator decided
One of the things that always impressed me about the Gracies is how they were able to turn out generation after generation of top-notch instructors. After reading a number of articles about their original belt system, etc., I started to adapt some of their methods with our own students. Once the student reaches Green Belt, we allow them to start
While watching the Facebook Prelims for UFC 161, I observed a trend that happens often in mixed martial arts competition.

På April 27, 2013, on what would have been his grandfather and namesake’s 71st birthday, Ken “Trey” Zimmerman III became the first black belt in the Zimmerman Self-Defense System under his father Ken Zimmerman Jr. “Trey” began studying martial arts shortly before his fifth birthday. “Trey” has trained in Taekwondo, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Gojo Shroei Weapons System.

Theodore Roosevelt served as the twenty-sixth President of the United States from 1901 till 1909. TR is famous for the “Ansträngande Life”. Han övade boxning och brottning genom tjugoårsåldern och trettiotalet. What is not as widely known is that he practiced Judo around 1904, when he was in his mid-40s. Roosevelt would eventually earn a brown belt in Judo. Yoshiaki
Ett par år sedan, I decided to stay at the rank of brown belt in Judo for a while. As a black belt in Taekwondo, I always assume that you keep going until you reach black belt in the art you are practicing. Emellertid, I began to change my mind about continuously trying to obtain a black belt
