  • The Secret Behind Real Kung Fu Fighting!
    By: Al Case | - When you learn real martial arts fighting, there are certain truths about how to survive. One of the truths is that the human mental apparatus doesn't usually work well when it is getting bashed, and survival mode kicks in. Fighters who survive by the amount of adrenaline kicked in would have you believe that this is the point of it all, but it is not, it is the worst thing that could happen.

    As a species we don't have claws, or jaws, or quills, or smells, or any particular characte ...

  • What Is Going To Happen When You Have No Reaction Time!
    By: Al Case | - Reaction time is one of the biggest and baddest, if not the biggest and baddest, scams ever foisted upon human beings. The idea that you must wait for somebody else to move before taking action is a trick of a blinded mind, and will get you killed. The whole concept, and I dont care if you are a practitioner of Hung Gar or Wing Chun or Shotokan or whatever, is designed to make you a victim.

    Now, the problem is that this concept of reaction time has infested all arts, and basically c ...

  • The Three Stages Imperative To Immaculate Martial Arts!
    By: Al Case | - The common attitude towards the martial arts is that they are a rite of passage. Rite of passage is a common concept amongst societies. But, modern society doesn't really need rite of passage, rather, it needs a logical approach to make the martial arts easier to learn and more effective.

    This, of course, means that the bully boy attitude of many instructors is going to have to go on the skids. The idea that you have to be a man to do something needs to be re-evaluated. Really, to g ...

  • Mossad And Their Martial Arts
    By: Matthew McKernan | - Sun-Tzu wrote "military affairs are country's vital political concerns," and in order to do that you need to have good intelligence gathering agencies, and if you possess less resources than your enemies the more vital information is to your cause.

  • Combat Fear With Krav Maga T Shirts
    By: ashwaria | - Krav Maga t shirts depict Israeli combat that allows body contact to toughen you against the worst enemy, yourself. The fight style is intended for survival with the use of both defense and offense in an attempt to neutralize a threat.

  • The Greatest Martial Art Style
    By: Calasanz Martinez | - What do you think...is it Tae Kwon Do, Kenpo, Wing Chun, Tang Soo Do, Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu, or Thai Boxing? I say none of them. As a matter of fact, no martial art that has existed since the beginning of time can claim the title of the "greatest martial art." The reality is that it's not the style that makes the martial artist, but rather the martial artist that makes the style. Please also understand that when I say "great martial artist," I don't necessarily mean great fighter. I am looking ...

  • Choosing The Best Style For Self-defense
    By: Calasanz Martinez | - I'm often asked the question "what is the best martial art style that I could study if my goal is self-defense?" The answer is that there is no one martial art that I would say is the best for learning self-defense. Every style has its advantages and disadvantages when it comes to their effectiveness on the street. Learning self-defense and studying a martial art are two different things. You study the art for art's sake, while the goal of self-defense is to learn how to protect yourself on ...

It has been my experience that many of the martial art methods being taught in the United States are not completely functional in today's world. You have Tae Kwon Do schools, Karate schools, Ju-Jitsu schools and Kung Fu. For the most part these systems are sport oriented in to s ...

  • The History Of Kung Fu
    By: James Dunn | - As with many forms of martial arts, the origins can be attributed for an early need for self-defense, military needs as well as hunting. Of course, martial arts became an integrated part of the Chinese culture over time and as such, the term "Kung Fu" became a universal name for Chinese martial arts all together. As a result, the origins of Kung Fu can be considered the origins of Chinese martial arts themselves.

  • How To Write An Authentic Martial Arts Fight Scene
    By: G.D. Baum | - Most fight scenes rely heavily upon the vague, and somewhat inaccurate, public perceptions of how martial artists would utilize their skills in a real fight. That is an unfortunate limitation, because the most interesting aspect of the martial arts is what goes on inside the mind of the fighter. That is where the most compelling part of the story truly lies. It's what needs to be told.
