How To Jam Power Down Your Legs In Karate Kata Heian Three By: Al Case | - It's odd, a lot of people think that Karate is nothing but fighting. The fact is, it has the same subtle properties as other arts, and the same core concepts.

The Five Battles Of The True Martial Artist By: Al Case | - The following saying has incredible importance for a True Martial Artist. "There are five trees in paradise and they do not change, winter nor spring, and their leaves don't fall. Whoever knows these trees will not experience death."
You may be wondering why these words are so important to the martial arts, so let me explain. They were written by a guy named Thomas some two millennium ago.

Finding The Power Of Tekki Karate Kata By: Al Case | - Tekki Kata, also known as Haihanchi, is one of the best forms in all the martial arts. Many people refer to it as The Iron Horse. As this name indicates, it is a horse stance form, and the karateka moves from side to side while performing it.
The power generated by this ancient Karate form is positively awesome. The horse stance develops the legs, and the tan tien starts to pump up, and one feels the chi power course through the body almost from the get go. It is usually taught arou ...

Gichin Funakoshi Claims That Karate Is Not The Karate It Was! By: Al Case | - It is a well known fact that the only thing that doesn't change is that everything changes. That is the unavoidable truth residing at the heart of this universe. That this is true in Karate (and other martial arts) was put forth by Gichin Funakoshi, the father of Karate.
Before I tell you his words, let me make a point through the words of Matsu Basho. Follow not in the footsteps of the masters, but rather seek what they sought. While this article may seem like an attack on traditio ... Tags:karate, shotokan, wado ryu, goju ryu, isshin ryu, shito ryu
The Truth About Goju Ryu Karate And Chojun Miyagi By: Al Case | - Goju Ryu Karate is the invention of Chojun Miyagi. That's right, all you Karate Kid Aficionados, there really was a Mr. Miyagi. Interestingly, however, the real Mr. Miyagi was not a Karate purist.
Most people think of the founder of an art as pure, he studied only one way, and never deviated. This is because of the true believer mindset that infects many people who learn one thing, and hold to it as the most sacred thing ever ever discovered in history. The originators of martial ar ...

Japanese Martial Arts Defeated By One Punch Karate Mistake! By: Al Case | - A student recently asked me why Okinawan Karate became the dominant martial art in Japan, when the Japanese had their own Martial Arts. The answer to this query comes from an historical incident. And, the answer uncovers something rather silly about human nature.
If you've ever seen a Chop Sockie Kung Fu flick, the story will invariably turn to the infamous western boxing match. Boxing matches of this type did occur a hundred years ago, though the results weren't always as the films ... Tags:karate, shotokan, goju ryu, gichin funakoshi, isshin ryu
Shotokan Useful For Self Defense? By: Aaron Landry | - This is a form of Karate that was developed in the late 1800's by Fichin Funakoshi in Japan. He often had many public forms of demonstration and practiced mainly in dojo's at colleges all throughout Japan. He had many students, and at later stages of the creation of Shotokan, he and a few of his students had disagreements about the essence of karate, and the forms split to form new branches of karate all based on Shotokan. In fact, today, the original form of Shotokan does not exist in its origi ... Tags:shotokan, karate, how to fight, street fight
What Is The Difference Of An Old Karate To A New Karate? By: Daren | - Ryukyu Kempo (also known as Chinese Kempo) has been the way of martial arts in Okinawa hundreds of years. This is what martial arts was before the transition into what most people know as 'modern karate'. Ryukyu Kempo is not a 'style' of martial arts like Goju-Ryu, Shorin-Ryu, Shuri-ryu, Tai Kwon Do and the list goes on. Rather, Ryukyu Kempo encompasses Okinawan arts with emphasis on life-protection techniques, regardless of an individual's size. The concepts of Ryukyu Kempo bridge the gap bet ...

Fundamental Mistakes With The Back Stance (kokutsu Dachi) In Shotokan Karate By: Al Case | - Shotokan Karate is one of the most significant karates styles in the world, so many styles are derived from this system, and thus are tainted with some very incorrect concepts. Thus, whether you study Shito ryu, Isshin Ryu, Kyokushinkai, or any style that utilizes the Heian kata, you probably are making the errors I am detailing in this article. It doesn't mean your karate stance is a disaster, it just means if you make a couple of adjustments you can improve it.
Win Every Fight With The Only Three Techniques Of Kickboxing Karate By: Al Case | - I know, kickboxing karate isn't an art, but it is a translation.

We are dealing only with the hands, mind you, so you have to control your distance to make sure that you stay at punching distance.
Three Steps To A Perfect Martial Arts Training Session By: Al Case | - It's vital that you know how to create the perfect martial arts training session. After all, if you do your work out the wrong way, you aren't going to get where you are going. You don't really sink into your art and find it in your heart and soul.

And you aren't working out to become fast or mean or have any other types of prope ... Tags:karate training dvd, shotokan karate training, karate kid dvd

The techniques are the kata made real, they are concepts made to work. They are the heart of the beast that is The True Art.
The first step, in making your art work, is to have a firm stance. The forms teach a variety of stances, and how to get into them from a variety of directions and previous positions. So one should practice ... Tags:shotokan techniques, uechi ryu techniques, isshin ryu moves
Four Ways To Make The Funnel Work In Jeet Kune Do Kung Fu By: Al Case | - While these four moves work for Wing Chun Kung Fu, Jeet Kune Do, or any close distance martial arts style, they will actually work for any martial arts system. The techniques are derived from the data in the Wing Chun book by James Yimm Lee. This book is supposed to have been written by Bruce Lee.
To set up the moves, as one would in most Jeet Kune Do schools, one should put the palms out toward the attacker shoulder width apart. This is a common 'I don't want to fight' sign, and it ... Tags:tae kwon do, hapkido, shotokan, shito ryu, isshin ryu,

How Speed Relates To The Overall Picture Of Good And Rare Martial Arts By: Al Case | - Whether you study Tae Kwon Do, Kenpo, or that rare Wudan Art from Faroutistan, speed is vitally important to the martial arts. If you are going to get anywhere in freestyle, you must be faster than your foe. Even in the doing of your patterns, speed gives a certain instruction that is necessary to the successful martial artist.
That said, there is another facet to the subject of speed, a facet which embraces the entire martial arts and is the mark of your progress over the decades. ... Tags:kenpo techniques, tae kwon do, shotokan, shotokei, shaolin
The Way A One Armed Student Learns Martial Arts By: Al Case | - Bobby lost his left arm because of a childhood accident, but it didn't slow him down. He rode bikes, played sports, and did everything a child is supposed to do, except for one. He never did the martial arts, he figured he had finally found the one activity he would never be able to do.
When a martial arts dojo opened up in his neighborhood, however, he could not stop thinking about it. He would pass by slowly, staring at the kids working out inside. He would ask his friends who stu ... Tags:kenpo techniques, tae kwon do, shotokan, shotokei, shaolin
How To Have Internal Power Through Six Simple Steps! By: Al Case | - Well, it was quite famous, a couple millennium ago, when immortals walked the earth and chi power was common. Of course, things aren't so fantastic in these modern times. Of course, if one understood that one could have the intrinsic power of chi in six easy steps, then things might go back to the way they were.
The first step in this sequence isn't a step at all, it is a lack of knowledge. This is when a person doesn't use his hips at all in a technique. Oddly, one can see the lack ... Tags:goju master, goju online, tae kwon do, shotokan forms, uechi
Four Reasons To Teach The Martial Arts By: Al Case | - People are always impressed when they find out that I am a martial arts instructor. Unfortunately, I do not really care about impressing people. This is a cruel trap, because if they are impressed enough I can teach them, but I don't really care to impress them.
I remember when I first began the martial arts, this was a long time ago, I was impressed by these quick moving ninjas in pajamas, but what kept me going was that they talked to me. I mean, they were so tough, and yet they t ... Tags:martial arts classes, shotokan online, uechi ryu online, ufc
The True Facts Of The Dim Mak Killing Strike By: Al Case | - When I began studying the martial arts, it was a brand of karate much like shotokan, I was fascinated by the tales of one punch one kill. The idea that you could drop an opponent with one punch was absolutely fabulous! And that you could actually kill somebody with a karate strike, well, that was more than just a TV show, you know?
The Way To The True Path Of The Martial Arts By: Al Case | - I was in the army in 1969, stuck with drab duty and endless amounts of time in which to conjecture. I was supposed to go to Viet Nam and kill people. This was not a task I was looking forward to.
One night I fell into a conversation with a young private, and he asked me if I have ever read Lao Tse. I told him I hadn't and asked him what it was. He told me that it was...The Way.
The Natural Progression From Hard To Soft By: Al Case | - The concepts of yang to yin, hard to soft, Shaolin to Wudan, striking to grappling have been with us a long time. Many people have compared the argument to the yin yang turning over and over. In the end, however, there is no contest between the two principles, merely a progression, an evolution if you will, of art within individual.
