That makes sense, What I try to do in the mall or any place that I go is keep my eyes open. I am constantly scanning the area and doing my best to watch for dangers. I have been trying to help me girl friend see the benefit in driving with the peripheral vision as she drives. I believe many just thi...

I was talking to my girl friend about uechi and she thought it looked simple and not like anything that a martial arts actor on tv would do. I told her it was like preforming a punch. I asked her if she was bench pressing a 20lbs bar then that would be easy enough. She answered, "yes". I a...

ahhh

What is that suppost to do? The stomach out and in 1/4 inch? Agree or disagree but dont call me stupid or pretend that I know nothing or directly or indirectly say that I know nothing because I have been around a great deal of martial arts people and never told that this was so very important. Sorry...

Thank you Rick, I wondered what type of responce I would get after that post: I in no way believe Uechi to be foolish or with out purpose. I enjoy the style but most of the post have been silly little arguement from people questioning every block and strike and kick for street application. Instead o...

as I reached for the mouse, kinda funny but I apoligize to you. I am not an instructor.

Lots of tangents here Dana, but imagine these men here going up against men that can kick and not lose power at the head level. Even men move off the line and try to redrect the kick. People have recieved broken arms with the wrong block or thinking that absorption was the key. I have seen TKD kicke...

My father told me a story: When he got back from vietnam and the Marine Corp, he was out havimg a good time with a couple of friends. One guy was a black belt in MUdukwan (today he owns a school in Ft.Worth and it is supposed to be very big) They were talking about fighting and war, my father did tw...

I like the post you put down, RACastanet. The thing that makes me chuckle is some people believe that they are safe from attack and the military can take care of all that. Saying that is what they get paid for. All the anti gun conversation is a ploy to get us to that area that our enemies are able ...

Let me first say this...I am not an instructor so I hope not to offend anyones extensive experience in this. "Boxing and wrestling, like judo and taequondo, are sports. They help to teach you how to fight, but they are not fighting." What? That is funny to me because it seemed to all chang...

"Sheriff Gerald Gilkey said the ordinance makes him concerned for the safety of his officers." This is a crock of horse #####... What is this simple voted in sheriff afraid of? What are his officers prone to sneak around homes and act sneaky? Why would he be afraid about this. Does he beli...

I say stretch, ab work, and strengthen the leg outside of using kicking for strength training. Forcing it leads to injury. It takes time but when you get it keep it...

I was so happy to see your post! I tell many about my teacher and friend Brent and they see TKD as being a sport related art. Many in the TKD feel that sport TKD is giving the art a bad name. I met Hee ill cho at his school in Albuquerque, Nm. He may have moved back to Cali. I am not sure. My teache...

I met a man that was skilled with the nunchuks and he told me that if you dont know how to use them just use them like you would a stick or bat. Dont worry about swingingt them and trying to look good; just keep swinging until they are on the ground or you can get away. If this in not good for you r...
