Bubishi Martial Arts Book Is Number One Bible Of Karate By: Al Case | - The Bubishi, the one having to do with White Crane and Monk's fist Boxing, was compiled sometime over the last few hundred years in Fuzhou Province. Fuzhou is where Shaolin Kung Fu was practiced, and which kung fu became the inspiration for Naha-te, which became Karate. There is no doubt that it is one of the most influential martial arts books in history, and probably the bible of All Karate.
The Three Karate Techniques That Can Save Your Life In A Street Fight! By: Al Case | - These three taekwondo techniques-and you can develop them as karate techniques, or kenpo techniques, or whatever--will help you survive any street fight. They are quick, they are nasty, and the are designed so that you are the one that can walk away. Just don't use them unless your life is really at stake!
Mind you, I developed these self defense techniques in karate tournaments many years ago. They can be used in tournaments, but only with proper control. Use them on the street how ... Tags:karate techniques, kenpo, taekwondo, kung fu, shotokan, uechi ryu
Which Art Is Better, Karate Or Tai Chi Chuan? By: Al Case | - I love it when people ask which is better, Karate or Tai Chi Chuan, because it is a bogus question. The point I'm offering here is that they are two sides of the same coin. This is one of those things that most people haven't really figured out.
To define the martial art of Karate one would first say linear, for everyone has the rather erroneous idea that Karate is straight lines. Second, one would say explosiveness, for the violence of Karate explodes outward from the tan tien. And ... Tags:tai chi chuan, karate, goju ryu, kenpo, shito ryu, uechi ryu
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. They stand for the five concentric circles of man's experience in the universe, and they are d ... Tags:kenpo, martial arts books, shotokan, uechi ryu, kenpo
Things Wrong With Classical Karate Training By: Al Case | - You know, the martial art of Karate sometimes gets a bad rap. You see all the UFC guys knocking the stuffings out of their opponents, and you wonder why, if Karate is so darned good, you don't see it in the octagon. The problem, to be honest, lies with Classical Karate training methods.
In traditional karate classes students are lined up in a mass, and they kick and punch and do everything as one unit. This is fine, for beginners. The sad fact, however, is that one rapidly travels t ... Tags:karate, karate training, karate lessons, karate classes, kung fu
Learn How To Punch If You Want To Be Good At Kenpo! By: Al Case | - If you want to be good at Martial Arts like Kenpo or Uechi ryu or jujitsu or whatever, you have to learn how to punch harder and faster. That is the not to be denied fact of thematter. And, truth once more, not too many people out there really understand how to punch.
The simple proof behind my last statement is that if you watch a boxing match, or a UFC type show, you will often see several statistics. These statistics show how many strikes thrown, and what percentage of the strike ... Tags:kenpo, uechi ryu, punch hard, punch fast, martial arts power
When It Comes To A Martial Arts Bible Several Books Have To Be Considered By: Al Case | - I see advertisements for a Martial Arts Bible every once in a while, and it's a clever advertisement. I mean, the idea for a book that answers all questions, it's a good one, and it's necessary. Here are a list of books which I think need to be considered, with the last one really hitting the button.
The first book to be considered would be Karate Do Kyohan: The Master Text, by Gichin Funakoshi. The reason this book has to be considered is because it was the first to really offer a ... Tags:gichin funakoshi, the master text, karate do kyohan, karate bo
Learning The Martial Arts Forms Art By Art By: Al Case | - When we consider the best martial arts forms we are speaking of those martial arts kata that result in a the most benefit to the student. To be honest, I usually recommend learning as many kata as possible, then working on the ones that the student prefers, although there can be oddities in this approach. I also hold that one should learn whole arts, first taekwondo, then karate, then kung fu, and so on.
The Ultimate Eight Martial Arts Books On The Planet! By: Al Case | - Gonna be some different opinions concerning which are the best eight Martial Arts books ever written, but I would begin with Aikido and the Dynamic Sphere. Authored by A Westbrook and O Ratt, the writing is perfect, and the illustrations are possibly the best martial arts graphics ever inked. A hefty book, it covers the art from skin to heart, and one gets the feel of how energy actually swirls in the practice of the art.
Using Kata Applications To Find The True Art By: Al Case | - To resurrect Karate as True Art, and this would include Shotokan, Goju, Uechi, or various other types of the art, one should always look to the techniques. 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
Three Ways Sanchin Karate Was Destroyed As A Useful Karate Kata By: Al Case | - Perhaps you have encountered the old saying...'If you don't know Sanchin, you don't know Karate.' It happens that this saying is entirely true. It is true because when done correctly Sanchin kata results in a liberation of combat useful energy beyond any form known.
The form was originally brought to Okinawan from China, where it was part of a system called Pan Gai Noon. While PGN is no longer taught, that first kata is taught in such arts as Goju Ryu and Uechi ryu. It has also been ... Tags:karate sanchin kata
Motobu Choki: The Toughest Karate Master You Didn't Know By: Al Case | - There's going to be a lot of different ideas on who was the toughest Master of Karate, but Motobu Chki is certainly up for the vote. He was one of the first instructors to spread Karate outside of Okinawa, and he is responsible for the fame and notoriety of that Art. Interestingly, not many people have heard of this 'George Washington' of Okinawan Karate.
Why Students Stop Studying The Martial Arts! By: Al Case | - This is sort of a question with lots of importance. Nobody has ever come up with a reason for the phenomena, and yet people have tried virtually everything in the world to keep students from leaving. I mean, they were doing good, they were excited, and then they disappeared.
The answer for this problem, and a way to keep enrollment high, is possible through something called Matrix Martial Arts. Matrixing is a technology that introduces logic to the martial arts. The fact of discover ... Tags:online martial arts, martial arts teachers, kenpo DVD
Brainless Idiots Can Hurt The Martial Arts By: Al Case | - There is a huge problem with the martial arts. This problem, to be plain, is the result of lowered intelligence. And this problem can, if not addressed, result in the lowered intelligence of the practitioners.
Having stepped in front of the firing squad, let me say that I believe that the martial arts are the greatest invention since anything. Done with the right disposition, they result in high levels of discipline, increased morality, and a calm viewpoint of life that reassures so ...

The Secret Of Using Matrix Martial Arts To Read Minds! By: Al Case | - There are times in life when it seems as if you have read someones mind. Maybe you just blurt out the same sentence at the same time, or have the same thought on a place to eat. Sometimes, however, it is as if you have looked into somebodys actual thought process and know what they are thinking.
The martial arts enhance this ability, and a good martial art does it in a quite speedy manner. Indeed, if you aren't effectively reading minds after a couple of years, there is probably som ... Tags:wado ryu, shito ryu, isshin ryu, uechi ryu, kenpo online
When You Have The Hardest Strike You Hit The Home Run! By: Al Case | - When it comes to the martial arts a knock out is a home run. I don't care if you study kenpo or pa kau chang or savate, if the end result of your strike, or chokehold, is that the guy does not go unconscious, then you have not hit a home run. In short, you didn't complete the work.
If you swing and miss with your fist, it is a strike. Enough of these and you're going to strike out, because the other guy is going to get his chance at bat. And you cannot bet that when he gets to bat h ... Tags:kenpo moves, anderson silva, mma tricks, karate online, mma
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 Secret Of Matrixing Technology In The Martial Arts By: Al Case | - There is a tremendous amount of interest in what Matrixing Technology is. It is pretty obvious that Matrixing is going to be the next phenomena in the martial arts. It is pretty obvious that Matrixing is going to sweep the world and provide transformation in the eastern arts.
To explain why this is going to happen, let me say a couple of things. The first is that Matrixing does not make any martial art wrong, it makes every single art it touches better. The second is that the purpos ... Tags:kung fu styles, chinese kung fu, martial arts kung fu, karate

Three Steps To The Most Powerful Punch On Earth! By: Al Case | - I don't care if you study Uechi ryu or shotokan or kenpo, or whatever, you're going to need a powerful fist. I don't care if it is boxing or Krav maga or tae kwon do, you're going to need a fist that knocks them down the first time! Even if you're in Aikido or Tai Chi, you're going to need some kind of real power, or at least know what power is so you can properly handle it.
