Whenever I watch those old martial arts movies, usually one of the things I always hear is honor; bringing honor to one's family, honor to one's loved one, or honor to their senior, style or dojo/dojang. It really seems like a common connection with martial arts and honor to go hand in hand. But...

Hello everybody, recently I started doing some Martial arts, i go in for my first day and end up hurting my shoulder pretty bad. The only way i can describe it is that my shoulder mildly came out of the socket, then went back in. It was insanely quick and brief and left my arm shaking...

I've been looking through forums and am seeing so much hate between TMA and MMA / Kickboxing / BJJ, I've also experienced this from people I've met. My question is, where does all the hate come from? I've trained in different TMA's and also in K1-Kickboxing and I just don't get why anyone would...

I'm currently having some issues in class. The more that I am taking part of fitness outside of Martial Arts, the more I'm noticing issues with technique when fellow students are taking part in fitness and warm ups at my club. I'm not sure what to do as this is quite difficult for me, knowing...

Hey guys, Have any of you done any blindfolded training? If so, how does it work, and how has that affected your martial arts skills?

I pretty much have taken the idea from that lineage website etc Feel free to post your lineage and see where it traces to. IMO it is very important to know where your specific Martial Art comes from. You don't want to learn from someone who learned from some guy in the back of a laundromat. How...

Most of us know Krav Maga and its philosophy: very practical style of self-defense and is used by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to train soldiers and civilians to become efficient in a short amount of time. Krav Maga is an aggressive, anti-terrorist survival system without rules. It deals with...

I have been hunting for this elusive ENLIGHTENMENT since I heard the word when I was ~10 years old. I have studied philosophy (100's...). I have studied martial arts (at least 10 conflicting theories). I have studied science and engineering (focused on electrical, but never forgot that all...

Hi All! I am an engineer and martial artist. I have a few ideas for self defense equipment for professional use, but I would love to hear the problems you see while working in security, bouncing, defending yourself... Please describe the situation where you may need some additional equipment...

Metal means the strength contained in the bones and the muscles, the mind being firm like iron or stone, being able to cut gold and steel. Wood has the meaning of the bending but rooted posture of a tree. Water means force like the waves of the vast sea, lively like a dragon or a snake, when...

This last July, I officially stepped down from being the Head Instructor of the Martial Arts Club that I had been running for some years and my whole family moved to a new town because of jobs and career. I still have an advisory position with the leadership with the old club, but they are...

Hello I'm a middle schooler trying to figure out which martial arts to learn (and also I could learn more efficiently during winter break that just began). I have a boxing area that is really close to me, and isn't much of a problem walking to. However I've heard that Muay thai could be a better...

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any resources that could help with my Bo Staff training at home? For instance any patterns or forms, instructional books?

Today is my first day of training and I want to ask for any advice you have for me, I want to focus on animal styles such as the snake and crane. I am training myself at home, I am planning on taking it slow, my main question...

The Karate Tapestry – Chapter 3 By Robert Hunt There's a beginning somewhere. We seek it out, like Paul Harvey used to say, for "the rest of the story". Of course, there is no real beginning, just the hazy starting place we choose. But, we want to understand it as far in the past as possible...

I'm pretty keen to start learning Krav Maga, i've read quite a but about it and have been lurking my local gym called Urban Kombat which looks pretty great. What does everyone think about the gym or leaning Krav Maga in general? Positives/negatives? I'm a 24 y/o male if that helps...

Hi All, I’ve recently become involved in fitness and martial arts as I’m working on a project on it – an event this July. Throughout the project, we’ll be producing articles and other types of commentary to appeal to followers and newcomers of fitness and martial arts. I thought it would...

I'm currently working towards my 3rd dan black belt. I've been taking Taekwondo for 8 1/2 years now. Anyways, here it is:

I have tried discussing this with other martial artists and would like to hear more opinions. If a Black belt (ex. 3rd Dan) leaves an association,federation, alliance, etc. to begin his/her own private practice, what are their options in regards to testing to the next rank. Do they they wait...

Hello to those who read this, I'd like to take a moment and say hello. My name is Allen Towe, and I first started my life in Martial Arts at the age of 7 (if my memory is correct) with my father's decision to enlist me at a local ATA (American Tae-Kwon-Do) school. I pursued hard practice until I...

Is Bujinkan Taka-Seigi the same as just Bujinkan? I have been in martial arts awhile and to confess I have not really heard of this. My friend invited to come train at his Bujinkan Taka-Seigi dojo. I looked it up and didn't see a lot of information on Bujinkan Taka-Seigi (unbiased anyway). I did...

Hey everyone, and before I begin. I know you probably get guys who sound like me a lot, coming in here sounding enthusiastic and ambitious. But hear me out. I have wanted to continue my martial arts training for a long time. (I'm sure you've heard this one before..). I started going to a...

I gotta be honest, learning any kind of martial arts is hard. The first few months would be the hardest. So the best tip would be to BE READY. Physically and emotionally. Physically, you would have to stretch first since there could be possible injuries along the way. Ok. There would be...
