  • Five Varieties Of Energy One Learns In Martial Arts Flow Theory
    By: Al Case | - Martial Arts Flow Theory, what I call Flux theory, is prevalent throughout all the arts.

  • Taking Responsibility For Your Martial Arts Progress
    By: Ken Gullette | - Around Christmas, 2007, I began feeling palpitations in my chest. I thought it was just stress from my job.

    I had two choices -- take blood thinners the rest of my life to avoid a stroke or clot, or undergo "laser ablation," where they go into veins in your groin, send lasers and a camera up into your ...

  • Do You Have The Top Skill You Need For Success?
    By: Ken Gullette | - In the late 1980s I studied kung-fu in Omaha. Lower-ranking students like me enjoyed working out with one particular black sash. Bob would answer our questions about what different moves meant for self-defense.

  • The Power Of Tai Chi Is Physical, Not Mystical
    By: Ken Gullette | - I settled into a tai chi posture and prepared to do a punch for the man in front of me. It wasn't an ordinary man. Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang is a direct descendant of the creator of tai chi, and he can break an attacker in a heartbeat. He asked me to perform a punch from a Chen tai chi form, and I was preparing for the punch, trying not to be nervous.

    Trying to remain relaxed, I shifted my weight from my right to my left leg and my right fist shot out, fast, relaxed, and powerful. A ...

  • Tai Chi Concepts Made Clear - The Six Harmonies
    By: Ken Gullette | - Tai Chi was designed to be a powerful martial art, but the true purpose of tai chi has been derailed by Westerners who have misinterpreted ancient writing and some of the concepts they've been taught. One of those is the "six harmonies" of tai chi. As usual, the answer lies in physical skill, not metaphysical myth.

    What are the six harmonies and what does this mean? Does it mean the hands move with the feet, the elbows move with the knees and the shoulders with the hips?

  • Don't Be Fooled By Empty Promises Of Easy Tai Chi
    By: Ken Gullette | - The students in the tai chi workshop were standing in a posture, groaning and grunting and shaking as they waited for Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang to look at them. Leg muscles strained from fatigue. A few moments later during a break, a student commented to Grandmaster Chen that tai chi is every difficult.

    If you've ever attended a workshop by a member of the Chen family, you understand why the comment would be made. Students hold postures while the instructor walks around the room, co ...

    The advice is typical of so many Tai Chi students and teachers that I've met who focus on the wrong things, thinking they're doing Tai Chi. They do this because their teacher taught them a weak version of this art. The result -- you meet their ...

  • Why Dothings Keep Changing?
    By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - General Motors Co. made a change in August 2009. It removed the "Mark of Excellencezzz' logo from its vehicles. Doing that is meant to put less emphasis on GM and more emphasis on its 4 remaining brands. Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC will have just their own logos. GM started putting its logo on all its North American vehicles in 2005, usually putting it on the lower door panel. Supposedly removing it will save GM only a nominal amount of money; but after all the bad publicity the company h ...

  • The Secret To Easy Breathing In Taijiquan Form
    By: Mark Tan | - A common question is how to breathe in the Taijiquan form. The answer is unintuitive, and not as straightforward as one may think. Plotting a breathing pattern and teaching it to students is not the answer. Students will go blue in the face trying to do the "right" breathing.

    You can always spot someone who's trying to breathe to a pattern, because they're usually the ones holding their breath. A posture that takes a bit longer than normal to complete means they'll have to exhale ...
