- Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Is A Modern Form Of Jujutsu, The Ancient Japanese Martial Art
By: Jeff Patterson | - Like Jujutsu, Jiu Jitsu Also Focuses on Leverage and Balance Rather Than Brute Force
The ancient Japanese martial art of jujutsu was developed to fight bare handed against armed and armored opponents during Samurai days.

- 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. And while some of your preconceived notions may be based at least in part in reality, there is a lot more to gain from training in the martial arts than one would first expect. Of course, the most fundamental reason to study martial arts or close combat training is to become practiced in the art of ...

- Don't Let Your Martial Arts Training Lack Self Defense Practicality
By: Tom Fazio | - Martial artists train for years to perform complex movements that are powerful and beautiful. And most of these martial artists are lucky, because they'll never need to use these techniques when it counts most. But for those few who have needed to use their training for self defense have found, there is often little translation, at least technically, between martial arts training and self defense training.
The main reason for this is that when our bodies are under extreme stre ...

- Is Your Martial Art A Viable Self Defense System?
By: Tom Fazio | - Pick a martial arts school, any martial arts school, and you'll find an instructor who sells his martial art as self defense. And while some of these instructors may know a thing or two about self defense, the vast majority of them are teaching a powerful version of ballet.
Martial arts training and self defense training can be distinguished by the degree to which they recognize and work with the body's natural stress response system. The human body, under high stress, has a d ...

- Hand Conditioning For Extreme Martial Arts Punching Power
By: Tom Fazio | - All of us have seen those amazing feats of mind over matter, where a martial artist is breaking a stack of bricks as tall as he is. Most of us assume that he's made of something different than we, super human perhaps. And while it may be true he has a higher tolerance for pain than many, it isn't true that these skills are natural or in bred. They can be achieved by anyone willing to put the time in.
So exactly how does a person go from ordinary to indestructible? The key lies ...

- 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.
Our peak shape doesn't rely only on the flat stomach; it requires that we master martial arts skills, to the best of our abilities. Granted, there are coaches and teachers who aren't absolute ...

- 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.

- 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 ...

- Middle Age And The Martial Arts
By: Calasanz Martinez | - How many football, baseball and basketball players do you see playing professional ball way into their 50's, 60's and 70's? The answer is none. Now, I'll tell you that many martial art masters are still going strong in middle age and well into their senior years.

- 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 ...

Here is one example:
Clear-Cutting Students (Read: Customers)

- 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 ...

- Open Minded Martial Arts
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.
What I mean by "usel ...
