- 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.

- World Of Aikido Martial Arts
By: Nizam Shapie | - Do not fight force with force, this is the most basic principle of Aikido.

- Defend Yourself With Your Walking Stick
By: John Roberts-James | - Why? I don't need to answer that. You already know to Survive!
But why a walking stick? If you're a big tough guy, 4th Dan Black Belt in karate or other martial art, you don't (really) need a walking stick to defend yourself. Unless your big interest is in fact stick fighting, sutekki-shin-jutsu. When you would always carry one, as I do, for the fun (and the Hell!) of it. I'm never without my Stick and my Dog.

- Tyson My Staffordshire Bull Terrier (1)
By: John Roberts-James | - He's like an Apple. At least, that's how my Right Eye sees him.
My Left Eye is rather different, due to a Judo accident thirty years ago. I was fighting in the British Army team against the German Police. To score a Full Point one has to deposit your partner flat on his back. This often entails falling on top of him to make sure he can't twist out to safety. A few days prior to the match I'd injured my knee, and I was hesitant to risk it in an important competition.
