- The Filipino Martial Arts: Eskrima, Kali, Arnis
By: Jeff Patterson | - The concepts and skills taught in Eskrima are traditionally simple. Flashy techniques, with little practical battlefield use receive no attention.

Local families or whole villages would be trained in Eskrima to protect the ...

- Supplementing Your Martial Arts Training With High Kicks
By: Calasanz Martinez | - Many Wing Chun practitioners tend to dismiss high kicks as being "useless." High kicks are not characteristic of the art. Wing Chun tends to focus more on hand movements. Lower body strikes in Wing Chun include low kicks, kicks to the midsection, leg sweeps and stomps.
Bruce Lee, who was originally a Wing Chun practitioner, did not hold the same attitude regarding high kicks as his Wing Chun colleagues. The high kicks you see him execute in the movies are obviously not from Wi ...

- Self Defense Training For Formal Martial Arts
By: Tom Fazio | - Martial arts training is not necessarily self defense training, and this may surprise a few devout martial arts trainees. Martial arts that focus on striking the air and mastering techniques through patterns training and no contact fighting have strayed far from the path. And I feel fully qualified to make this criticism because I was brought up in a martial arts school just like that.
I don't mean to attack formal and traditional martial arts schools, because they offer a great ...

- Ancillary Benefits To Training In The Martial Arts
By: Mike McCoy | - When you think of training in the martial arts, it is likely that you have a preconception about not only what you will learn, but also about the type of people who engage in this type of training.

In education fine arts would means as a college course in arts; a course of study designers to teach students practical artistic skills as well as the theory and history of art. Have you seen the difference of both definitions? Whatever the ...

- The First Key To Success For A Martial Arts School Owner Or Teacher
By: Tom Callos | - To achieve real success, the school owner or martial arts teacher needs to establish a "practice of training" that gets and keeps them in peak shape.

- Mixed Martial Arts Fighting, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu And Muay Thai Fighting Training Tips For Repetiti
By: Geoff Aitken | - When first learning a new mixed martial arts fighting technique whether at the fundamental level or the more advanced it is important that we chunk it down into smaller, easily learned units.

Studies on a simple nervous system have shown that any more than 10 repetitions of a task in a session does not ...

- Running As An Essential Component Of Martial Arts Training
By: Tom Fazio | - It never ceases to amaze me how few martial arts instructors advocate running as an essential component of martial arts training. They'll teach students for years, complicated self defense techniques, in order to defend themselves in dangerous situations, and they rarely recommend that one skill that will allow them to survive without laying a finger on somebody else. Not only should running be an essential component of martial arts conditioning for fitness reasons, it also deserves priority s ...

- The Unwritten Code: Part Of Being A Martial Arts Master -- Or A Master Of Anything
By: Tom Callos | - My martial arts teacher, Ernie Reyes, Sr. follows an unwritten code of behavior. It's his unwritten code of what a Master is -and/or is not.

I recognized (finally) this concept last weekend when I observed Mr. Reyes entertain and teach a group of high ranking martial artists. I saw it in the way he dressed, in the way he carried himself, in the way he spoke to the audien ...
