Combat Sports Historian at Martial Artist
Posts about martial arts concepts and principles.
I was watching the UFC Fight Night prelims on Facebook Saturday night. The fights all ended in before time expired. One ended in the third round, one in the second round and three in the first round.

Kapag ako ay isang bata lumalaking up sa St. Louis, ang tanging militar sining na aking narinig tungkol sa naging karate. Taekwondo ay itinuturing na Korean karate. Hindi ko alam tungkol sa alinman sa mga grappling arts sa puntong iyon. Gayunman, KPLR Channel 11 ran a series of films on Saturdays for a month featuring Mr. Paggalaw, played by Peter Lorre.

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. Jigoro Kano’s dissemination of Judo is the best case study for how to develop and spread a martial
Why do traditional martial artists continue to despise the lessons of mixed martial arts? I am amazed that twenty years after Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 1, some traditional martial arts still feel that they have nothing to learn from MMA.

Gumugol ako ng maraming oras sa pag-aaral ng iba't ibang sistema ng ranggo. Ang sistema ng ranggo ay tila isang modernong konsepto na sinimulan ni Dr.. Jigaro Kano, isang tagapagturo, na nais ng isang sistema ng pagmamarka upang paghiwalayin ang mga mag-aaral. Sa susunod na siglo, 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, at iba pa, I started to adapt some of their methods with our own students. Once the student reaches Green Belt, we allow them to start
Habang nanonood ng Facebook Prelims para sa UFC 161, Sinusunod ko ang isang trend na madalas na nangyayari sa halo-halong kumpetisyon militar sining. One of the competitors would get a dominant position but would sacrifice it to chase a submission.

Theodore Roosevelt served as the twenty-sixth President of the United States from 1901 upang 1909. TR is famous for the “Masipag Buhay”. Ensayado Siya boxing at pakikipagbuno sa pamamagitan ng kanyang twenties at mula sa tatlumpu hanggang sa tatlumpu at siyam. 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
Ang isang pares ng mga taon na nakalipas, Napagpasyahan kong manatili sa ranggo ng brown belt sa Judo para sa isang habang. Bilang isang itim na sinturon sa Taekwondo, Lagi kong ipagpalagay na ang mo panatilihing pagpunta hanggang sa maabot mo itim na sinturon sa sining ikaw ay pagsasanay.
