Morihei Ueshiba And The Five Stages That Led To The Art Of Aikido By: Al Case | - The Art of Aikido was established and presented to the world by Morihei Ueshiba. O Sensei (great teacher), as he is called was not a heroic figure in the beginning. He was of poor health when he was a youngster, and somewhat sporadic in his training efforts.
In 1915 the first real step in the life of the founder of Aikido began. He met Takeda Sokaku, the last real samurai, who was the master of Daito Ryu Aiki Jujitsu. For over twenty years Morihei Ueshiba dedicated his life to learn ... Tags:art of aikido, taekwondo, hapkido, gozoshioda

Taking A Sword Away From An Attacker With A Martial Arts Technique By: Al Case | - I have said that the Eight Catchers are the highest expression of Martial Arts training. And, I have said that you should study extensive fighting disciplines, Karate, Taekwondo, Kenpo, whatever, before you begin your minimum of two years of practice on solely the Catchers. That said, here is a thumbnail sketch of the Sword Catcher, it is basically an Aikido technique, and images can be found in Monster Martial Arts newsletter X-5.
Martial Arts Technique For A Club Attack Is One Of The Best Self Defense Moves You Can Learn By: Al Case | - When you think about it, there are only eight techniques in the martial arts. This sort of flies in the face of people who study arts with a thousand different self defense moves, but that is not its intent. To be honest, one should learn those thousand techniques well before they actually focus on something like the club catcher technique I'm going to give you here.
Martial Arts Brisbane "€" The Master System By: factorten | - When considering training in the ancient Korean Martial Art of Hapkido Brisbane people need look no further than Factor10 Martial Arts. The Martial Arts are so unique in a modern society in that the age old Master Teaches Apprentice approach still, to this day, forms the foundation of how we learn the kicks, punches, blocks, strikes, weapons, grappling and falling techniques of this ancient sport and art.
Families Grow Stronger At Martial Arts Brisbane By: factorten | - One of our Core Values at Factor10 is Family and Belonging is Everything and this is also a very strong principle of the Martial Arts generally. The concept of family is at the core of the all we do in Martial Arts because first and foremost the study of this modern and ancient art is about the person, their personal development and the development of excellence in a close nit community or family. It is understood in Martial Arts that unless one pursues this Martial excellence in the fam ... Tags:Taekwondo Brisbane, Brisbane hapkido
Focus At Martial Arts Brisbane Academy: By: factorten | - The word Focus is often used in the Martial Arts to describe a more mystical dimension as we saw in the Karate Kid movie and in David Carradines Kung Fu movies set in the 70s. Focus
Grasshopper the Master would insist as young Carradine explored the multi faceted dimensions of the ancient Chinese art. Set in the scenes of mountainous terrain where this young devotee sought to reach the enlightened state that the Martial Arts can deliver, his Masters the ...

Brisbane Hapkido Striving For Personal Excellence By: factorten | - Have you ever noticed that some people seem to wake up one day and approach life with a different sense of vigour? With a different purpose? A changed attitude? A new approach to their fitness? Im not talking here about New Years Resolutions. Im talking about a person who has really changed their approach or attitude to something and it is usually because something has changed in their life. We all know that New Years Resolutions come and go and that it is not uncommon for ... Tags:Taekwondo Brisbane, Brisbane hapkido
Marital Arts In Perseverance Steady Progress Great Results By: factorten | - One of the great things about Martial Arts training at Factor10 Martial Arts, the leading Brisbane Taekwondo school, is the steady progress towards excellence that is achieved through dedication and perseverance. The age old frustration that has cursed every human being since the beginning is finding the will to stick at something, especially when it is hard to do, physically or mentally demanding, or takes a lot of personal giving to achieve a result.
Brisbane Taekwondo In Traditional Poomse Helps Children Concentrate By: factorten | - As a Brisbane Taekwondo academy we know that if there is one aspect of Martial Arts training that some children and teenagers often find difficult its learning the traditional Poomse or patterns as they are often called. The Yin Yang is clearly ever so present around us because if there is one thing that can help children develop concentration skills theres no doubt that it its Poomse!
Martial Arts In Achieving Elite Performance By: factorten | - There is no doubt that one of the greatest challenges we face every day is to try to achieve a high level performance in everything we do. Most people generally try to do their best in whatever they are doing. When you think about this, why would someone intentionally face a task in their daily routine -- at home or at work -- and intentionally set about sabotaging it by doing their worst performance.
Then how is it that we often deliver our less than perfect performance, and on occa ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
Excellence In Brisbane Martial Arts By: factorten | - I have recently had so many questions from members and parents about what Factor10 is all about. Back when we launched Factor10 the excitement was incredible with people just wanting to know more about the meaning behind the name Factor10 of course most wanted to get their hands on the latest Factor10 uniform and to hear more about what was to come.
Marital Arts Helps Children Make Good Decisions By: factorten | - One of the greatest challenges of successful parenting is to know whether its your turn to decide what your children are going to do or if it is their chance to take the lead and decide for themselves. So how do we know when to let them take the initiative and make decisions for themselves?
Well the simple answer is that from time to time we need to give children opportunities to make good decisions to be able to practice this very difficult skill of decision making. This fir ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
Client Fulfillment In Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - Getting the public to enquire and converting them to a fully paid member at your martial arts school is not the end of the "getting more members" exercise. Getting them in the front door is one part of the process, but stoping them walking out the back door, or "client fulfillment", is just as critical.
Some would argue that client fulfillment is more important than anything else as keeping a customer is less costly that getting a new one.
Lead Conversion In Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - In order to cash in on your lead generation systems, every martial business must have a carefully designed lead conversion system or systems place. It's critical to have systems in place to convert the enquiries into paying customers. And the system you use for email or website enquiries will be different from phone and face to face enquiries. It may also be that enquiries from member referrals are converted in a different way from enquiries from people who just walk in off the street to enquire ...

Strategic Objectives Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - The planned path or track that you are following also has a name. We call this your strategic objective. This is the description of the look, shape and feel that your organisation will have when it is done. The strategic objective describes exactly what the organisation has to look like. It's a description on a page that anyone can read that makes clear to them exactly what vision the leader has for the organisation, what it will look like, smell like, taste like and even fee like. It will descr ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
Strategic Indicators Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - In order to know if the strategic focus or a vision for the future is actually being achieved, a leader needs to be able to measure things in the organisation. In fact, there needs to be systems in place that measure what is going on in order to be able to determine if the vision is being achieved. Good leaders don't leave this sort of thing to chance, by guessing.
Leadership Vision Of Martial Arts Organisation By: factorten | - The vision is all about where we are going and how we are going to get there. The head of a martial arts organisation needs to be absolutely clear on where they are taking the organisation and how they plan to get there. Unless there is a very clear plan about this, the leader will not have anyone who wants to share in where they are going as people won't know the direction as there is none. How can somebody possibly follow you if you do not know exactly where you are going. If one of you instru ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
The Leadership Action Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - Once a leader has a vision, they need to be able to put this into action. A vision without action is empty, and leaders who have a vision are judged by their ability to enact the vision, to take steps that will actually achieve the vision in or around the time frame described in the strategic objective. It could be said that a vision without action is no vision at all.
Leadership Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - Simply put, a leader is somebody others want to follow. Although we know there is a lot to being a great leader, it is very difficult for most people to say exactly what it is that makes a person a good leader. Of course universities have done many studies on what makes successful leaders and what are the leadership qualities that good leaders have.
The theory is very simple, though, and can be summarised in the following:
Profit And Loss Statement Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - The profit and loss (P&L) statement is a very important document that lists in a very logical order for you, the martial arts business owner, the income and expenses of your business.
The first thing that the P&L needs to show is your sales, cost of sales and gross profit. That is, the total income derived from sales less the cost of these sales leaving the gross profit. The sales includes all money you have received through your POS from the sale of goods and services. In a martia ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
Operation Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - This list of the symptoms of a failing martial business or one that is literally living on "borrowed time" is not definitive, as we could go on forever listing the things that will result should the following martial business basics not be adopted.
At Factor10 we have designed detailed systems that have been tried, tested and proven in a full time martial arts centre in a way they have stood the test of time - through both good economic times and bad - and in an environment where t ...

Operating Budgets Of Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - Operating budgets are all about managing the income and expenditure of our martial arts business. Simply put, operating budgets are tools to make sure you manage the money in, and the money out.
So, is there just one budget for income and one budget for expenditure? The answer in short is a resounding "no". There are, in fact, many budgets. We have a budget for each item that is listed on the income side of the profit and loss statement and we have a budget for each item on the exp ...

Martial Arts Business Management By: factorten | - The word management in a martial arts organisation is generally a foreign word. The reason for this is that the head instruct or master, or chief instructor, whatever the name used, has generally been the role or position in a martial arts organisation who 'manages' things. We know today that the modern martial arts business, or martial business as we refer to it as, does not operate this way.
Marketing Plan Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - Marketing is a word thrown around by some martial arts business owners as something they apparently do quite often, or by others as something they fleetingly say they need to do more of, but do they really understand what marketing is all about.
As a martial arts entrepreneur, one needs to have a clear understanding of the things that are
part of marketing. There are many parts to marketing, with advertising, for example, being but one small aspect of what marketing is all ab ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
Leadership Spirit Of Martial Arts Organisation By: factorten | - It is easy to know what the leadership spirit of an organisation is like by feeling the organisational culture. If the culture is strong, positive, and embracing then we know the spirit or energy of the leader is where it should be.
We teach our martial arts students to be perceptive on picking up on the traits of an aggressor. In a self defence situation it is important to quickly try to get a feel for the energy or way of the
attacker. In so doing we may be able to alter t ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
Lead Generation In Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - In our previous discussion about marketing we mentioned three very important functions of marketing - lead generation, lead conversion and client fulfillment. So lets start with the first of these and take a look at lead generation.
Once the marketing fundamentals are fully understood, that is, what it is that your customers think like, how they behave when it comes to your products and services, and what it takes to get them to make the buying decision in your favour, you are read ...

Cash Plan Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - Whereas the operating budgets are a dollar allocation against each item of income and each item of expenditure, the cash plan looks at how you are going to get the money into the business, how long it will take to get it in, what you do with the money when it arrives, who and how the money is handled, exactly how purchases are made in the business and how you manage the items that the cash was used for to purchase.
Balance Sheet Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - The Balance sheet is, simply put, a financial statement of what you own and what you owe. The statement uses accounting language to describe this and every martial arts business owner must learn to use this language. When you talk like an entrepreneur, you are probably one step closer to being one.
The items listed on our balance sheet that fall under the category of the things we "own" are what we call assets, and the items that fall under the area of what we "owe"are called liabi ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
Accounting System Of Martial Arts Business By: factorten | - The old saying "You can't manage what you don't measure" is so important in running your martial business. If it's not that important with every other area of your business (and of course it is), it could not be more important to have a reliable accounting system in place to measure the money side of your business.
As we said earlier, money is the lifeblood of your business, and there's no need to feel, think, act or be apologetic about this. And if you don't know on a daily, weekl ... Tags:Martial Arts Brisbane, Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane
Martial Arts Fighting Techniques By: factorten | -
With the global acceptance of Martial Arts as a sporting activity the fighting techniques involved have undergone tremendous changes. In olden days Martial Arts fighting techniques were more barbaric and motivated by a killer-instinct. But the modern techniques in each style have been framed keeping in view protection of health as a must. Today the focus is more on display of strength and skills and not injury of the opponent.
The Various Styles In Martial Arts By: factorten | - Styles in Martial Arts differ from region to region. Each Martial Arts style has its own set of tricks and techniques. If one style aims more at harnessing the power of the upper limbs another aims more at developing the power of the lower limbs. But, ultimately, all styles aim at achieving total physical development and mastery over the use of ones mental and physical energy.
Unimportant Factors When Selecting A Great Martial Arts School By: factorten | - When establishing that you are going to enroll in a martial art school, there are some factors that are not important. Know these and keep them in mind when enrolling.
The schools rate for classes is not an important factor when selecting a martial art school. Cheap rates dont mean a bad school and expense rates dont mean a good school. Visit a minimum of 3 different martial art schools for observation of classes.
Simply because the instructor has a Black Belt that doesnt n ... Tags:Taekwondo Brisbane, Hapkido Brisbane

Johnny Cash's Advice For Fixing The Martial Arts Systems One Piece At A Time By: Al Case | - Didn't know that Johnny Cash could fix Martial Arts systems, did you? Well, actually, his advice is for fixing cars, sort of, but it translates directly to the fighting disciplines. And it is sound advice indeed.
Johnny sang a song almost forty years ago called 'One Piece at a Time.'

Four Ways To Make The Funnel Work In Jeet Kune Do Kung Fu By: Al Case | - While these four moves work for Wing Chun Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, or any close distance martial arts style, they will actually work for any martial arts system.

The Martialarm Introduction To Hapkido By: Martial | - Hapkido practitioner becomes well-versed in many kicks, punches, and blocks. From Aiki-Jujitsu (the predecessor of Aikido) it gets most of its grappling techniques. Hence, the Hapkido practitioner spends an equated volume of time learning techniques such as throws and joint locks. The advantage of studying Hapkido versus studying one striking style and one grappling style is that the practitioner learns to use the two approaches to flatter one another. For example, a Hapkido artist would use a p ... Tags:hapkido, aikido, martial arts
