Malicious Software Warning

I just came to the site, and got a malicious software warning, I'm looking into this. I don't believe there is anything to worry about, we are not running any schemes here. If I had to put my finger on it I imagine it was the person pretending to be "Birdie Marshal" who was spamming everyone the other day. He/She must have tried to get back at us by giving Google a false report that we were trying to download malicious software onto peoples computers. Ha! We wouldn't do that even if we knew how!… Continue

Training with an injury...

I have an injured left knee and am continuing to train, however I'm taking it easy on that knee. I'm concerned about losing muscle in my left leg, and am looking for specific exercises to maintain strength and flexibility while the knee heals. According to the MRI it's tendon "fraying" and some fluid pockets, no actual tear...yet.

Be Well Rounded and Balanced by Learning Other Styles

The United States has a great wealth of martial art talent. There are many schools, both traditional and modern, that offer excellent instruction in arts that we couldn't have even imagined 30 years ago. If you have mastered the basics of one style, you may want to "round out" your martial arts training by learning a martial art that is totally different from your original style.

Review - Bruce Lee's Fighting Method - Basic Training, Volume 2

What is it about a man like Bruce Lee that has made him a martial arts legend? While the fancy stunts of Jackie Chan and Jet Li provide us with heart stopping entertainment, most of these feats employ the use of trick photography, strings and trampolines. What is so intriguing about Bruce Lee is that the man was real and so were his martial arts.

Distance Learning and the Martial Arts

Advances in technology have taken martial arts to a whole new level. The Internet and DVD's allow you to train with the most accomplished martial artists in the privacy of your own living room.

Flying, Spinning and Jumping Kicks - Are They Practical?

Martial art styles like tae kwon do, tang soo do, wushu and some forms of karate instruct their students on how to perform flying, spinning, and jumping kicks. A martial arts movie without a good number of these kicks is boring. Flying, spinning, and jumping kicks are what make martial arts movies fun and demonstrations exciting.

Get Out of Your Way!

In many martial art schools, you'll see a sign that says "leave your ego at the door with your shoes". What this really means is that if you want to be successful in the martial arts, you have to get out of your own way. Most martial arts instructors have experienced those students who enter the dojo bent on self-destruction.

Staying Tough in Tough Economic Times

You can't turn on the news without hearing about lay-offs, foreclosures and the plummeting stock market. You may even be experiencing these financial calamities first hand and know the stress and fear that being in this position can bring. It is especially during these times that I recommend sticking with your exercise program.

You're No Good Unless You're Fighting

"What's old is new", so goes the saying. The great Bruce Lee was accused of not being able to fight his way out of a paper bag because he didn't fight in tournaments. Competent martial arts instructors have since been maligned if they don't do tournaments.

Choosing a Traditional Or Eclectic Martial Arts

If you're ready to study the martial arts, you have lots of choices. There are many traditional styles out there to choose from. If you choose a traditional martial art, you study one style where the techniques are taught in their original form. orm.

The Business of Belts and Ranking Systems

If you practice the martial arts, the color of the belt around your waist is used to signify your grade, level or ranking within the style. Colored belts, however, were never part of the ancient martial arts tradition. According to martial art folklore, a student was given a white belt to match his uniform and hold up his pants.

Seeing Through the Black Belt Mystique

The American public has long assumed that a black belt is a sign of expertise or mastery in the martial arts. In reality, all a black belt means is that a student has learned the basic techniques and principles of a specific martial art. It doesn't mean that they are a master or possess magical powers.

Developing Your Natural Talent

I am writing on this topic to inspire you. Everyone has some type of natural talent. Some people are well aware of their natural talents and do all they can to cultivate them.

To Affiliate Or Not Affiliate

We Americans love affiliations and endorsements; The Good Housekeeping Seal, Better Business Bureau etc. They lend credibility to a business or product. They assure us that our chosen product or service has received some type of validation from a higher authority.

Learn to Punch First!

In the old days, we used to say "make sure you learn how to fight standing up first, and then learn what to do on the ground." Today, the proponents of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu tell us that 90-95% of all fights end up on the ground, so because of this, martial art students should focus on ground fighting. As a martial arts instructor and proprietor of a large dojo, I meet many prospective students interested in ground fighting, because of the popularity of mixed martial arts and the Ultimate Fighting Championships.

Training the Street Fighter

An instructor must take a special approach when dealing with street fighters in their dojo. But if done right, it can be rewarding!

The Next Level - Making Progress in the Martial Arts

One of the goals of a good martial arts curriculum is progress. Regardless of the style you have chosen to study, all of them begin with the fundamentals and can take you to the level of mastery. Success however depends on two things: commitment on your part and a skilled instructor who not only teaches you the art, but also challenges you.

Physical Activity Guidelines For Americans and the Martial Arts - A Complete Package

Its no secret that Americans list low among the rest of the world when it comes to being healthy. Here is a suggestion for exercise in light of a new release put out by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Why You Should Avoid "Style Hopping"

A prospective student came to the door, interested in martial arts training. When I asked him if he had any previous experience, he replied "yes, I've studied for about two years." His training history consisted of 3 months in aikido, 2 months of karate, 4 months of kung-fu, 3 weeks of tai chi, etc., etc. This is what we call "style hopping"; going from one style to another.

The Eyes Have It! Eye Contact and the Martial Artist

In The Karate Kid, Mr. Miyagi admonishes Daniel-san for not looking him in the eyes. In Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee points to the moon and tells his student not to concentrate on the finger or he will lose all the heavenly glory.

Dealing With Troublemakers - Rival Schools and Street Fighters

Opening a martial arts school comes with quite a bit of responsibility including dealing with rival schools and trouble makers. Here's some suggestions on how to deal with them.

Don't Empty Your Cup, Just Check Your Ego at the Door

First you must empty your cup. What martial artist hasn't heard this piece of Eastern philosophy at one point in his lifetime? Here's how the official story goes.
