The first thing you will want before you attempt to master full contact sparring is to get the right sparring gear for the job. It is important that you and your partner have the same quality of protection too. Remember, your opponent is punching and kicking you - if you want to soften the blow then they too should have on quality padding. Lightweight foam protection may not be enough if you are planning to do full contact fighting. Get some gear that has professional grade padding and avoid the karate style sparring gear usually designed for point or very light contact sparring. Would you rather be hit by a aluminum bat or a foam bat? Consider the difference between being hit by a person with a no...

Martial arts programs for children have enjoyed a lot of popularity, especially in the Fredericksburg, Stafford, and Spotsylvania areas. However, there seems to be immense criticism of schools that try to run high quality, professional programs. Here are some of my answers to these criticisms. Problem 1: A Professional School is a "belt factory". The children just show up and get their belts. It's a waste of time and money. Unfortunately, there are some children's martial arts programs out there that follow these unethical practices. The fact is; schools like these are a waste of time and money. You can't judge every school out there solely from the actions of a few "bad apples". Let's say you go to...

There seems to be a severe lack of quality self defense techniques taught to women. This paucity of protection for women is worrying when you consider that they are the victims in the majority of cases. Yet it is noticeable that virtually all courses which profess to be unisex are nothing of the sort. It is idiocy to suggest that an average woman will be able to perform the same techniques based on size and strength as the average man. According to studies, even if men and women were the same size, men would be over twice as strong naturally. So again, why are we still seeing programs geared towards women that are actually rehashed versions of male-friendly courses? Hand to hand combat training for...

You may already know or suspect that women are the targets of violence by 9 to 1 margin over men. In other countries it's even worse. Women are victims of assaults, robberies, carjackings, domestic violence, rape, murder and even home invasions by a huge margin over men. So what are women supposed to do? I always suggest they start by learning some basic self defense techniques. Online self defense classes are great for learning the basics. After the course is completed it helps give you a sense of self confidence which actually makes you a less attractive target. Being aware of your surroundings helps as well. But the best thing women can do is to get some self defense products. They are nonlethal...

y"> One of the worst things you can do to sabotage your self defense is comply with the would-be perpetrators desires. Imagine, It's dark, he presses a gun up against your back and says "keep walking and get in that car over there." What do you do? It may be one of the scariest moments of your life, but if attacked and the assailant demands you get in a car, vehicle, building or enclosure, resist to the best of your ability (and judgment). Depending on which scenario you are facing, some research suggests your chances of defending yourself and surviving drops significantly if the perpetrator succeeds in getting you to a private location. A big caveat of the above is context. Context is important...

Self defense products are a nonlethal alternative to deadly force. The most common ones are pepper sprays, stun guns, tasers and personal alarms. Their purpose, of course, is to allow you time to get away from a dangerous situation and seek help or just get away. They have been used by by law enforcement and military personnel for decades with great success. Pepper sprays are used largely for crowd control. Stun guns and tasers are used for apprehension of criminals. They have developed a great track record over the years which partially explains why they have made successful transition to the civilian community. The other reasons they have been so successful with civilians is because they are cost...

Self defense products, including stun guns, pepper sprays, taser's and batons are a nonlethal alternative to deadly force. They've been used for decades by police departments all over the world with great success. That is partly why they have become enormously successful in the civilian community. Civilian models are very effective, cost efficient, easy to carry and easy to hide. Many of them can be disguised as well. Stun devices are the second most popular self defense products next pepper sprays. Power voltages range from 80,000 to 4.5 million volts. On average they are 86% effective. Assailants are on drugs or are drunk may not be affected by them. The purpose of all self defense products is to...

Women in the United States are targets of violence 90% of the time. Everything from rape, domestic violence, assaults on city streets, home invasions, even carjackings; women are the targets 9 out of 10 times. All you have to do is just read a local newspaper or watch TV any evening to see more anecdotal evidence of that. For professional women who are out and about and maybe travel more than most women and are in darkened stairwells and darkened garages more than most women they especially present themselves as attractive targets. And that isn't just me speaking. It is borne out by the facts. So what are professional women supposed to do? The first and most obvious is be aware of this fact. That...

From a very young age, kids may be in dangerous situations without realizing it. At such a tender age, kids are often naive to the risks of being assaulted or harmed, especially by adults. Children may be bullied by larger kids, kidnapped, robbed, or assaulted. How do you prepare your children for such scenarios without scaring them? Countless parents are wondering exactly that. Here are a few techniques for keeping your children safe: Teach them safety basics. As early as possible, teach kids their phone number and address so that they can reunite with you quickly if ever separated. Your children should also have access to your work phone numbers and know how to reach you at all times. They should...

The martial arts don't really work unless your body is constructed properly. the purpose of this article is to help you construct your body, and make it perfect. You will find this is not good just for the martial arts, but everything. In fact, you will find that you know something the rest of the world doesn't know...how to configure your body for maximum efficiency and function. The body is constructed of triangles. There is the triangle of the tan tien to the base of the feet. Thus, every stance is a reworking, restructuring, of the basic triangle. When you explore all stances, when you establish all triangles, and when you understand the way a triangle supports energy, then you can establish a...

Martial arts mats are different from your regular gym mats. Buying the wrong kind of mat for your martial arts gym can be very problematic in the long run, as it can't give you the right grip and safety you need for practicing movements and shock support in sparring. Normally you can't find martial arts mats in your local sports stores, so your best option is searching the internet and making transactions for this equipment online. First thing you need to do is consider how you are going to use the mats. If you're looking for a single person for a home training, a 5 X 10ft of 1 or 1 ½ inch thick can be enough for you. If you plan to train with a group, you may use interconnected mats. This type of...

I'd like to let you in on some karate secrets. What is Karate anyway? It is a way you can protect yourself without the use of any armaments. It is a method of self-defense that goes back hundreds of years. Nobility were the ones that were using karate and their method were kept under lock and key. Nobody had access to these secrets. They used these methods to show how powerful they were above the common people. The best part about karate is you don't have to be very strong to use it. The mystical way you attack or defend yourself from someone else leaves the body of the other person numb and unable to fight back. You can kill someone by using these skills. You can use the attacker's body against...

A client raised a question about the use of the karate chop (kc) point. She was surprised that while we worked through her particular issue, we continually tapped the karate chop point while dialogging. For example, we would continually tap the kc point while saying the following: Even though I feel neglected, I accept myself E.T. I feel frustrated, I appreciate myself E.T. I have loneliness feelings, I deeply accept who I am and how I feel Then we'd tap through alternating on neglected, frustrated, and lonely feelings. The EFT Manual suggests a different approach, where just one issue, say "neglected" is addressed three times with the kc point before tapping through. EFT Master Carol Look adopts...

You need to learn to breathe correctly in order to carry out the Karate techniques properly. Below are some exercises to help develop the deep breathing techniques. Once you have mastered these, you will be in a much better position to perform your Karate moves successfully. Sitting Positions The proper basic sitting position is as follows: sit erect, keep your head up, hands resting on your hips, abdomen relaxed. The first exercise: close the left nostril by pressing your forefinger on it. Then breathe in and breathe out through your right nostril. Reverse the procedure. Place your finger on the right nostril with one hand; inhale and exhale through the left nostril. Do this about 10 times. Notice...

So you are thinking of starting to train in okinawan karate. There are a lot of choices as far as okinawan karate schools are concerned. Which school do you choose ? What is the best school or system? If you are a parent, what okinawan karate school is best for your children? Karate began in Okinawa, which is one of the many islands which make up Japan. Okinawa was invaded by the highly organized samurai clans from the larger Japanese islands. The islanders developed okinawan karate to defend themselves. Okinawan karate was kept alive, passed down from master to student through the generations and eventually became integrated into the school system for all of Japan Original Okinawan karate wass...

For most people involved in judo, from beginners to seasoned veterans, the throwing skills are the most interesting and exciting part of the sport. Whenever there is a major competition, the spectators, who are usually almost all judo players themselves of varying degrees of ability, are there to see the throws. To the outsider judo can seem a strange and confusing sport; the rules are difficult to grasp and the scoring system seems almost incomprehensible. In fact most of the aspects of judo competition which are difficult to understand come from attempts to orient what was originally a very personal confrontation into a spectator sport. The basic, definitive concept in judo is that of ippon, or a...

The question I hear often is, "Am I too old to start Karate?" Another concern people have is that they're not flexible enough to be able to participate in a karate class. What distinguishes karate as a discipline from most other sports is its consideration for a person's current level. A good instructor will be challenged to hone in on each student's current physical level and challenge them at the same time without injury. The idea is to progressively increase that person's level each time they participate in a class. The fact that you think you have to be in good shape before starting a class is wrong, but common. One of the reasons to commit to a karate programme is to get in shape while...

When you think about taking up a competitive sport for fitness, combat might not be your first thought. Yet mixed martial arts training is growing in popularity as an overall fitness program. Here are some of the benefits of this growing trend. 1. Strength One of the first benefits of mixed martial arts training is increased strength. This is because the various styles that may be involved in a martial arts training program will target all major muscle groups as opposed to a traditional fitness program that may only focus on one aspect of your body (like arms or abs). Upper and lower body workouts are necessary as well as a range of motions associated with various techniques. Increased core strength...

I know there will be people who are going to object to what I say, but I was there forty years ago, and I know the truth. The truth is that forty years ago the karate fighters, students of such arts as Shotokan and Wado Ryu and Uechi Ryu, and especially Kyokushinkai, could have taken today's MMA gladiators apart quickly and easily. There are quite a few reasons for this, and I will outline one main reason here. Before I tread where fans don't know about...let me say that yesterdays culture was drug free, full of physical cultists, and we had our share of martial maniacs. We did things that today's martial artists would not dare to do. All of the things that were done were done with fanaticism and...

Being a successful MMA practitioner requires the ability to strike, kick, wrestle while controlling your opponent whether standing up or on the ground. Learning these skills can take years of practice. But even a well rounded MMA skill-set is absolutely worthless unless it's matched with a first-rate cardio conditioning routine. Including medicine ball routines in your MMA training can significantly improve your MMA preparedness and enable you to out last your opponent -giving you the competitive edge.. Med Ball drills may not seem like the standard choice to use in your Mixed Martial Arts training, but the reality is, -medicine ball workouts are devastatingly effective at developing dynamic...

Karate Gi's, Judo Gi's, Tae Kwon Do Gi's - what do they all have in common? They all rip when you use them for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Everyone has done it at some point, and they all learn the hard way. Split pants, torn kimonos, ripped sleeves; a Gi must stand up to the demands that the sport puts on it. Karate Gi's and Tae Kwon Do Gi's are specific for that sport. The opponents in these sports do not grab the Gi, so there's no reason to reinforce them. They are usually very thin and flimsy, so the athlete can kick and punch in them. Judo Gi's are a little more durable, however they are not as durable as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gi's. They are baggier, so it makes it harder to throw your opponent and the...

Lancashire Wrestling An extremely violent form of wrestling in which only the deliberate breaking of bones is prohibited, Lancashire wrestling is considered to be the founding art of catch wrestling and both professional and amateur wrestling. The style probably evolved out of matches that took place during the 350-year Roman occupation of Britain; the Romans felt the men of Albion (the Roman name for Britain) were rough and did not respect the rules. One of the style's features was that pins (whereby a wrestler holds his opponent to the ground for a prescribed period of time) were not deemed effective finishing techniques-because they relied on the discretion of the referee-so forcing an opponent...

There are 3 things you must do every week - and sometimes every day in every class - to make sure your martial arts school thrives. Those 3 things are: - Bring in new students - Retain the students you have - Get more from your students It is critical to the survival of your school that you block off time every week to focus on these 3 things. This might be 1 hour or 1 day. It might be to create a new class, new marketing program or for education in martial arts management to make sure you are growing as a martial arts school owner. Marketing You should be setting aside time every week to work on growing your school. This does not mean you have to create a brand new marketing plan every week. One...

The Producer Model The producer's job is to find talent, and basically promote that talent. In the producer model the owner acts as the program director and trains instructors as the talent. The producer's job as the program director is to sell the talent he has trained to benefit as many people in his community as possible with his martial arts business. The Talent Model The other way to set up your school is for you, the owner, to be the talent. You may want to be the instructor because you are the person who is obviously the most passionate about sharing your knowledge. But as the talent you then need to find someone who can take on the producer role or program director role in your martial arts...

Internet marketing has proven it's self to not only be the most cost effective and efficient form of advertising in the last couple years but is clearly the way of the future for almost every industry, and martial arts is no exception. Internet marketing can easily be attributed as one of the main reasons for the incredible rise and success of MMA and the UFC, though is an area that so many martial arts schools neglect. The foundation and core of any Internet marketing campaign is your website. This is the heart of your online marketing and business. Obviously without a strong heart the rest will fail. Given the state of many terrible MMA websites it won't take much to out do the competition but...

There have been a lot of debate and controversy regarding how to achieve maximum punching power in various martial arts. Once you know about this little secret it will allow you to have the ultimate punch in your favorite fighting art. It isn't the speed of your arm movement that will determine the ultimate power in your punch. A lot of martial artist will train their punches with dynamic tension, tensing from start to the end of the punch or gradually tensing your punch from start to finish. I think the majority of teachers and students are confused about the right and wrong way to train their punches. Let me give you my way that works every time and it doesn't matter what type of martial arts you...

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) are a sport with about a hundred-year modern tradition. A selection of techniques is permitted in each match. With that, martial artists skilled in different arts can get into the ring. This sport is full-contact and its roots can be traced all the way back to ancient Rome. Recently, health professionals gathered in Niagara Falls to talk about this sport during the Canadian Medical Association's general annual meeting. Most of the professionals expressed their belief that the sport should not be legal. They simply argue that MMA is a dangerous sport with too large a probability of injuries – much larger than it is in boxing. Dr. Ian Gillespie, the president of BCMA, says...

Mixed martial arts or MMA as it is now more commonly know is now the fastest growing sport in the world. From Ireland to india MMA events are being held and it seems more and more money is being generated by this sport. Mixed martial arts training gear is now pretty costly but at the begining of your training you should only buy the essentials. The premier organisation for MMA is based in Las Vegas, Nevada and is know as The Ultimate Fighting Championship or The UFC for short. MMA as a sport has had to overcome some very big odds to get to where it is today. It was originally billed as being a no holds barred blood fest and promoters had to work hard to get rid of that image. In recent years MMA has...

I know that whenever I write one of these articles on Mixed Martial Arts I am going to get hate mail, but the truth is the truth, and one can only hope to rescue the misbegotten. That bit of humor aside, I actually love MMA, especially the UFC grudge matches. There is just enough Roman in me to enjoy the circus. Now, the main reason such venues as Strike Force and the venerable Ultimate Fighting Championships aren't art is because of a lack of control. When Joe Beatemup is mounting Billy Mouthpiece and the announcer is praising his control, take it with a grain of salt. The contest, you see is real, and the control is pretty shaky at best. Real control means that you are controlling the other person...

MMA Conditioning: To succeed in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, each fighter needs to develop the skills from multiple fighting disciplines. Fighters learn the arts of Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing, Judo and various take-down techniques. Dancing, grappling, clinching and striking; throwing fists, knees and elbows to dominate, submit or incapacitate your opponent requires extremely well developed mental and physical conditioning. Some fights may indeed end quickly, but the successful MMA practitioner is prepared to go the distance in training and in competition. Most people think of the cardiovascular demands of Mixed Martial Arts when they hear the phrase MMA conditioning, but...

There are several lethal and non-lethal weapons that can be used for your self- protection.

All you have to do is to get yourself trained for handling the weapon in a safe manner so that you could very well keep it for your own safety. At the same time you should use the arms only when there is no...

You see some great fighters come to the ring with a calmness that gives them a sort of elusiveness to their character. A great way to tap into that inner calmness and take it into the cage with you is to meditate. Here are some great reasons you should be adding meditation to your pre-fight training camp. Decreased Heart Rate. If you were to enter a deep meditation and have your heart rate monitored, you will likely notice that its rate has gone down. The decreased heart rate implies that you aren't using as much oxygen. Often fighters step into the cage and have the jitters. Their adrenalin levels rise, leading to an increased heart rate and thus increasing oxygen consumption. This can often play a...

The self defense gun has become more essential than ever for anybody living in America. It's intriguing to note that, despite what we may hear from the major media, possession of a hand gun really can prevent crime. As proof one only has to check out the statistics for those developed countries who've banned individual possession. The amount of armed robberies in Australia, for example, increased by 45% as soon as individual possession was banned. Additionally we must look no further then Washington DC to see the folly of outlawing handguns. They do not call it the murder capital of America for nothing! This article is prepared as a source to all those who are considering the acquisition of a self...

Most of us have been in a situation at one time or another where physical violence seemed like a good option. Some guy gets in your face and starts pushing you, threatening you or your family, or actually physically attacks you, and your natural reaction is to deck the guy. Decking someone is almost NEVER a good idea in today's society. There is just no place for physical violence in American society. The only individuals that are allowed to use it are the police, and even they are very closely scrutinized when they are forced to use it. Bearing this in mind, I offer an alternative to fighting that actually uses the American Justice System itself as a weapon, instead of your fists, and keeps on...

If you are familiar with one martial arts technique, you may be able to win fighting another opponent using the same discipline. But could you do the same if your opponent is using something else when you meet him in the ring? The chances of you winning are fifty-fifty. But if you are familiar with the technique the opponent is using, then your chances become much higher. For that to happen, you have to learn a variety of martial arts and condition yourself like you have never done before. Being able to this makes you a mixed martial arts fighter and since this is not for everyone, you have to commit yourself to the sport and make a lot of changes in your lifestyle. These changes include how you...

No matter what style of martial arts you train in, it is a good idea to have your own martial arts training equipment, so that you can practice on a regular basis from the comfort of your own home. If you want to become the best at your style of martial arts, it is very important that you practice on a regular basis, and one of the best ways is to set up your own home gym, or dojo. The great thing about setting up your own home gym, is that you can practice when ever you want, anytime of the day. Creating your own home dojo can get expensive, so you can either get creative and find things around your home to use, or you can start out slow and purchase training equipment as you can afford it. I have...

How do you deal with pain during training or fighting? After all, isn't pain an indication of the old being destroyed and the new being rebuilt? (Not so fast.) So, how do you break through the mental barrier of pain? Pain, Even martial arts Pain Indicates... Well, first of all, you always have to remember that pain is a signal; it's telling us something. In the case of a wrist lock, it tells my opponents that damage to the body is about to occur. It can also be used to direct my opponents to follow my directions. (I add more pain when they resist.) But I think that most martial artists "in training" want the kind of pain that you have to push through... not the kind that does irreparable damage...

There are many reasons a person might want to look into taking martial arts classes. Improving your self-esteem is one of them. Being able to defend yourself in the case of an emergency is another.

I know that blogs and discussion fora talk about how worthless mail-order black-belts are. Nothing new or surprising there, right? There is a particular brand of online course that you really should avoid at all costs. Do you know what that category is? Drum roll, please... Bad Martial-Arts Courses On The Internet There is a secret word that lets you know when a paid course is going to be bad. It's the word, "Ninja." I am not saying that ninjitsu is bad. There are some diligent teachers out there in the real world. But in Cyberspace... My belief is that courses that include the word "ninja" are what you are trying to avoid. Most martial artists that claim that they are going to teach you how to be...

Being the author of several books on the martial arts and fighting, I am always looking for books of exceptional quality to add to my library. If I have a book in my library, it's definitely worth owning. One such book is Marc "Animal" Mac Young's, "Floor Fighting." As you may well know from my previous reviews of Marc's books, one of the things that I absolutely love about his style of writing is his no-holds barred direct approach to getting his point across. There is never any sugarcoating or politically correct terminology is his books. He simply tells it like it is, whether you like it or not. Once again, Marc gives you a no-holds barred look at the reality of fighting and surviving on the...

Safety is something that has become a real concern now days. It has become a headache for many of us. Thus the need of a good security system is really essential. This need has developed a new industry of security products. With the advancement of science and technology, these days we get a number of options when we search for safety tools. Stun guns are one of them. These guns are not like real guns. It does not release bullets. Instead it gives electric shock. Interesting isn't it? Of course it is, but before you actually use it, do make sure that it won't be deadly. The companies do assure you that just for a while it will make the person inactive. But I would personally suggest you to check...

As with all things of nature, mountain lion attacks seem to ebb and flow. As I found out today the weather has as much to do with their appearance as anything. When the weather is dry they are driven to lower elevations to find water and along the way some food. Mountain lions are much different in their tactics than bears. Bears of course are much bigger than mountain lions which can get to 120 pounds or so. Bears just come at you using their surprisingly quick reflexes and brute size and strength. Mountain lions stalk their prey. They frequently are upon a victim before they know it. They use stealth and speed. They go for the head or neck and a quick kill. I would never go into the back country...

It was almost 9 years ago that I was at Judo and had partnered with a friend to practice a hip throw. I had done this throw thousands of times over the course of my career in Judo and was reasonably successful at it. One of the times I was coming into this hip throw and my friend tapped my hip a little. All of a sudden I found myself on the ground not understanding at all what just had happened. Being full of myself, I looked at him and said, "Try that again!" I came into the throw again and once again I found myself on the ground not knowing what just had happened. I asked him, "What did you do?" The response came, "I just relaxed your tension..." I got up and said, "That was pretty cool. I want to...

Sparring is the closest thing you can do as a fighter to actually being in a fight. It makes sense to not go as hard in a sparring session as the real fight because in the real fight a lot of damage could be inflicted. Champion fighters do a few things differently in their sparring sessions that you should be well aware of. Throw More Jabs. Throwing a jab is the easiest way to stay in your opponent's face. Throw a few extra jabs more often to really mix up your opponent. Having your fist constantly in your opponent's face will not allow them to utilize a game plan as effectively because they are constantly in defence. Keep Your Chin Down. This is your most important act of defence. Keep your chin...
