Disappearing is Harder Than You Think (Popularity:  )
http://www.jockbrocas.com
Now the title of this post will no doubt create much controversy, but what i am talking about is the ability to remain undetected whilst in the heat of battle or training. To disappear in fact does not necessarily mean exploding in a puff of smoke but more understanding timing and distance to make oneself invisible using ninpo Taijutsu. Perhaps a better way to explain this is to be able ...

I have also read with interest the many posts regarding the episode - some positive and some a direct disrespect for Doug and the other shihan.
Perhaps one thing that is forgotten is that the match towards the end ...

http://www.realistictrainingworks.com
Let me just say this to start out, this isn't necessarily just his fault. It's fault of many Jeet Kune Do practioners and around the country. In Jeet Kune Do, we talk about four ranges of fighting: punching, kicking, trapping, and grappling. Technically wrestling falls in-between trapping and grappling and is both at the same time. That's what we call a subsection of a range. Unfortunately, it's an area that ...

Why St Pierre Dominated Matt Hughes in Their 3rd Fight (Popularity: )
http://www.realistictrainingworks.com
St. Pierre's secret weapon against Matt Hughes was a submission chain. It was a sweet one in fact. Matt never had a chance, because St. Pierre had an interesting business model for fighting. Here it is.
I crack Matt in the face, and when he's woozy. I'll catch him in a sub, and then we defends that one, I'll wrap him in another.
In a sub chain, if you don't catch one, ...

http://www.karatebenefits.com
Your first martial arts class should be relatively easy and a confidence builder. If it isn't both of those then you need to go somewhere else. The instructor should be friendly and teach a very exciting introductory class which usually lasts anywhere from 30 - 45 minutes.

http://www.advantagemartialarts.com
Are you worried about the possibility of someone really trying to hit you hard in a fight? I mean what if that one hit from your attacker is so powerful that it knocks you all the way to Australia (which is not as far, if you are reading this from down under).

Wouldn't it be great to turn back time? I'm tired of seeing older fighters past their prime, just looking for another payday. These guys are forced to fight guys ten or fifteen years younger than themselves. The most recent examples of this were the fights between Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock and the fight between Royce Gracie and Matt Hughes. We've also seen such mismatches as Tank Abbott vs Frank ...
