- Which Is The 'deadliest' Style Of Martial Arts?
By: Matthew McKernan | - It seems you can't get into a discussion about martial arts without someone claiming that the style they practice is the best.

By: Richard Clear | - Continued from Iron Palm Q&A With Sigung Richard Clear Part 2
I started studying Dr Wu's system of Kung Fu in 1982 from one of Dr Wu's other senior students and then I began studying from Tyrone in 1984. As a result I began training Iron Palm in 1984. I was not really seeking out Iron Palm. I had not heard enough about it to actively seek it. Iron Palm and Dim Mak were simply a part of the Kung Fu training we received. Once I began training I was hooked on it for awhile and t ...

- Open Hand Basics - Part 2 Of 2

One example is to dive through with your body weight behind the strike. Pukolan and Hsing-I both strike this way. Another kind of hit is to slap through, hitting with the body weight and friction. This is how basic burning palm works.
Utilizing waist and knee power helps g ...

By: John Roberts-James | - Yes, it's true! Yawara-jutsu is one of the old Japanese martial arts. One of its facets includes the use of a short, six-inch plain stick to strike death and terror' into the opponent.
The experts' will claim that it is used to jab kyusho or Dim Mak points resulting in severe shock to the system. This is only partly true. One hits vulnerable areas, it is true, but these are not necessarily surface vital points'. They overlie deep nerves or organs which, if hit effectively, ...

- 1 Hit Knockouts Part 2 Of 2
By: Richard Clear | - Using it in a real fight:
Many pressure point systems focus a lot of attention on where and even when to hit. Where to hit is important but it should not be the first priority. It doesn't do you any good to know where to hit if you can not manage to hit there in a real situation when you need to save the life of yourself or a loved one.
One of the basic problems shared by many people who study pressure point hitting is that they are unable to use their knowledge in ...
