  • The Real And Mystical Reason Why I Didn't Matrix Shaolin Kung Fu!
    By: Al Case | - Matrixing, to put your fevered mind to rest, is the analysis and handling of force and direction. Everything in the universe has a direction, and everything in the universe has lots of potentials for collision. Thus, the study of Matrixing becomes crucial if one is going to understand things like Shaolin kung fu.

    Now, to set this article up in the proper manner, let me say that the martial arts are nothing more than random strings of data. This is like somebody memorizing a dozen pi ...

  • What Is Going To Happen When You Have No Reaction Time!
    By: Al Case | - Reaction time is one of the biggest and baddest, if not the biggest and baddest, scams ever foisted upon human beings. The idea that you must wait for somebody else to move before taking action is a trick of a blinded mind, and will get you killed. The whole concept, and I dont care if you are a practitioner of Hung Gar or Wing Chun or Shotokan or whatever, is designed to make you a victim.

    Now, the problem is that this concept of reaction time has infested all arts, and basically c ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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. As a matter of fact, no martial art that has existed since the beginning of time can claim the title of the "greatest martial art." The reality is that it's not the style that makes the martial artist, but rather the martial artist that makes the style. Please also understand that when I say "great martial artist," I don't necessarily mean great fighter. I am looking ...

  • Wing Chun: The Perfect Style For Women
    By: Calasanz Martinez | - Of all the martial art styles in existence, I would say that Wing Chun is perfect for most women. While women have excelled in many styles, Wing Chun is the one art that most utilizes a woman's natural gifts. To appreciate Wing Chun training for women, it's important to first look at its history.

    Two hundred eighty years ago, the repressive Manchus ruled China . The Manchus outlawed all weapons and forbade the Hans, who comprised 90% of the population, to practice any form of se ...

    By: DesertAngel | - Rather a novelty, I found, interviewing Tam Yiu Ming, not only because he is my husband, but because during our conversation, I once again rekindled my fascination for this practical style of Chinese Martial Art.

    Q WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF WING CHUN?

  • Distance Learning And The Martial Arts
    By: Calasanz Martinez | - Advances in technology have taken martial arts to a whole new level. The Internet and DVD's allow you to train with the most accomplished martial artists in the privacy of your own living room. With this convenience however comes a lot of debate. The martial arts community is divided over whether it is possible for someone to learn the martial arts through distance learning. I think the answer lies somewhere in the center.

  • Be Well Rounded And Balanced By Learning Other Styles
    By: Calasanz Martinez | - The United States has a great wealth of martial art talent. There are many schools, both traditional and modern, that offer excellent instruction in arts that we couldn't have even imagined 30 years ago. If you have mastered the basics of one style, you may want to "round out" your martial arts training by learning a martial art that is totally different from your original style. This keeps your martial arts training fresh and introduces you to new skills and philosophies.

    By: David H Urmann | - Martial Arts come in different forms and they are not only confined to Kung-fu or Taekwondo, which is popularized a lot in television and the movies.

  • The Way Of Wing Chun
    By: Armando Sainz | - First and foremost when one becomes distinctly aware that he is about to be attacked, strong eye contact ( mok lik in Chinese ) with intent should be established. That is, my attitude changes from passive awareness to calm yet intense vigilance. From the initial attack to the finishing blow a fight should be as brief as possible. The best scenario is when one is able to subdue the attacker within three moves. At the moment of initial attack, I then attack the centerline (usually the throat) and ...

  • What Defines A Great Martial Art?
    By: Armando Sainz | - Let's face it; karate has been exposed. There was a time when the karate man was looked upon with respect and feared. A time when, if someone said they were a black belt, it caused others to be impressed. You can say that karate has become outdated. There has been an interesting development in the martial arts in the late 20th Century and into the 21st. Martial arts have evolved and become much more true to life than ever.

  • What Makes Wing Chun Different?

    The way the art produces efficient fighters in a relatively short amount of time is by sticking to several core concepts and by paying strict attention to positioning. Much ...

  • Wing Chun And Good Business
    By: Armando Sainz | - Perhaps we should take a good look at how martial arts are taught today and the different mentalities involved. Maybe we should question not our methods of Wing Chun, but our motivations for teaching this great fighting system. There are several questions that come to mind when I think about how excellent Wing Chun is as a fighting system and yet here in the United States, we are few in number. If we were to compare to Tae Kwon Do schools we are last place. They have really nice schools that are ...

  • So You Want To Learn How To Defend Yourself?
    By: Armando Sainz | - In most martial arts schools today you can take regular lessons and add some self-defense classes. But there is still the problem of the effectiveness of the martial art and the so called self-defense moves being taught. It has been my experience that many of the martial art methods being taught in the United States are not completely functional in today's world. You have Tae Kwon Do schools, Karate schools, Ju-Jitsu schools and Kung Fu. For the most part these systems are sport oriented in to s ...

  • The Revival Of Bare-knuckle Boxing
    By: Armando Sainz | - Bare-Knuckle Boxing was once considered one of the most effective empty hand systems in the Western world for self-defense. However, most people today think of fighting systems as Asian. Some also even think of Brazil or Israel, but most don't think of martial arts as being European or American. Some have heard of Bare-Knuckle Boxing but don't equate it with other martial arts. They really don't know how effective and brutal a street-minded European boxer could be.

  • Martial Arts: What Are They?
