- Five Things I Wish I Would Have Known About The Martial Arts!
By: Al Case | - Okay, I've been doing the martial arts for over forty years. I've lived through the arts of the decades, judo in the fifties, karate in the sixties, kung fu in the seventies, and so on, and I've analyzed durn near every art there is.

- The Secret Of The Three Essentials Necessary To The Martial Arts
By: Al Case | - In the martial arts, I don't care if it is mma, Pa Kua Chang, Shotokan, or whatever, there are three key ingredients. These three ingredients are what makes an art an art, and they are why people study the arts. Oddly, one of the ingredients is almost totally ignored.
One of the ingredients is the pursuit of strength. Muscle mags are filled with strength advertisements, and everybody obsesses on strength. Oddly, strength is the least important of the three essential techniques of th ...

- 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.

- 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.
But recognize that "peak shape" for the average person is much different than "peak shape" for the martial arts Master-Teacher.

- Martial Arts Is For Everyone
By: Mike McCoy | - Have you ever given any consideration to training in the martial arts? Chances are that the thought has at least crossed your mind, but you dismissed it because you believe that martial arts training is only for those who intend to fight competitively. It is unfortunate that so many people feel this way because martial art's training is really an activity that anybody can engage in. It is not just something for Hollywood actors and professional fighters. Men and women, young and old can all ...

- Three Vital Tips For The New Martial Arts Teacher Or School Owner
By: Tom Callos | - Here are three of the best tips you'll ever find for up-and-coming martial arts teachers and school owners:
1. You will want to buy and/or borrow a "school operations manual" from an established school or consultant. This manual will have most, if not all of the procedural things you'll need to know about how to answer phones, makes sales, handle employees, etc.
This kind of thing wasn't available when I started teaching, but today they're quite common. By the way, ...

- 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. Once easily assimilated chunks are obtained these must be practiced with repetition to learn them. However, just repeating them over and over again in a session has its limitations.
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 ...

By: Tom Callos | - Sustainable business practices are things you do in your business that sustain it, rather than drain it.
Here is one example:
Clear-Cutting Students (Read: Customers)
You can't clear-cut a forest and expect to go back the next year and harvest another tree crop from it. You can't fish out a lake and then go back the next week and look for more fish. And you can't sell martial arts lessons (or anything) to people in your community, with a win-lose pro ...

- 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 know it's unwritten, as I've been his student since 1980 and I have read everything there is to read about him and his work. 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 ...

By: Calasanz Martinez | - I was asked recently if I ever came across a "useless" martial arts style. My answer to this question is "no." I honestly believe that every style I've encountered has made a rich contribution to the world of martial arts and to my personal evolution. As I've said in previous articles, I tend to focus more on the practitioner than the art itself. With that said, while I don't think there are any useless styles, I do believe there are useless practitioners.
