- Mixed Martial Arts: Creating The Worst Street Fighters The World Over
By: Matthew McKernan | - Since the first UFC every dojo and martial arts school in the world has rushed to add grappling to their curriculum. In their quest to keep up with the latest trend and in an effort to "cover all bases" in the true "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" fashion that is modern martial arts , clueless instructors have taken one step close to diluting their already useless and misapplied systems and sealing the fate of their massively misguided students.

- The Most Important Reason To Do Martial Arts Training
By: Matthew McKernan | - It seems martial arts can do everything from help people lose weight to help kids overcome ADHD, and it can all be done with minimal effort, but anyone who really trains knows the truth about martial arts knows there is more to it than that.

- 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 ...

- 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.

- 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 ...

- 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 ...

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.

- Front Sight - Martial Arts And Edged Weapons Training
By: EmmySue Pryor | - My college and a school down the street from my college campus had a series of attacks happen. The attacks would either happen in the parking lot after late night classes or man would follow a female into the women's restroom, where he would proceed to attack her - rob her, rape her, basically whatever he felt was the best decision at the time. One girl pulled out her handy dandy pocket knife as protection. What happened? Her assailant turned her knife on her and proceeded to stab away. Luc ...

Hence, if you strengthen you muscles, and these act as the external force, then the flexibility of your joints will allow a greater range of movement than were ...
