Yea, good stuff. I worked out with a BJJ group for about a year, then decided that I liked my joints and gave it up. Next time he cranks on your neck with a forearm from full guard, push up with your hips to loosen the arm, push it to the side of your neck so that his upper arm is between your neck ...

Power cleans and squats are the way to go to generate power on your kicks, and further, recent studies are suggesting that exercises like these are actually good for building your upper body as well (probably because beating up huge lower body muscle groups will bump up your anabolic hormones system...

This is probably old news to the seniors, but for those of you reading and interested in this topic, find a copy of The Gift of Fear by Gavin De Becker. It's possibly the best self-defense book ever written. It has an excellent section on how to draw the line between being polite and responding appr...

Hi, I'm in a similar situation, as I frequently have to jam a workout in between hospital times and class. I initially tried to do a little of everything, but I've found that I can't maintain, let alone improve on technique in that way. What I've found to be more effective is splitting up techniques...

I don't mean to knock anyone's religion....BUT... The parallels between the MA instructor who won't let someone cross train and the religion that won't allow you to dabble with mind-quieting exercises is pretty striking. Any institution that values itself should be confident enough to allow its memb...

Hello all, Full contact is great, if you can don't mind healing for a few days between sessions. Bill-sensei, I didn't realize that you boxed. I've been playing with a few boxers down here, and I'm enjoying it. It's a heck of a wake-up call. The gloves are taking some getting used to (I absolutely h...

Hello all, I'm always experimenting with ab exercises, and I have a few favorites. I've got a few killers for you all: Bicycles: While on your back, hold your legs straight out in front with your heels a few inches off of the floor.

Tarantino + Martial Arts = Good times
Hello all, Just got back from seeing "Kill Bill Vol. 1." It was insane, mega-violent, yet really stylish and fun. The plot is almost secondary to Tarantino's finesse in filmmaking. The dialogue, the shots, and even the anime short were all just darn cool. The swordwork was a blast (I was v...
