So right now, I'm currently in between instructors. However, I still want to progress as a martial artist. As a caveat, I want to say this is not an ideal situation. I'm working on getting back into Yang style tai chi, under Ron Jorgenson. I'm also going to start training in Gracie Barra Jujitsu...
Great job to all the participants in the Knife defense seminar for law enforcement officers! We covered emptyhand vs knife, knife vs knife and did some freestyle knife work. Thank you to Master Dominick Violante for hosting the event. Thank you to all the participants for all that you do. My...

BTW- i lived in long beach for 5 years, in martial arts the whole time. Learned Kenpo there.
today's objectives achieved. tomorrow same as today for exercise stuff.
taijutsu and some bojutsu also for tomorrow.
Right, well I'm going to call today's objectives "achieved" although I must be honest, and admit that I had to swap out the last set of 60 toe-touch situps for 60 regular crunches, but nonetheless I am happy with how it went for the first real exercise in quite awhile.
All I have left to do is...
Ok. Gi is getting a bit tight again. Figured I might as well use this blog thing as a fitness diary - the fact it's able to be viewed by others should help motivate the ego-driven part of me to move his fat, lazy backside and get some things done.
So today's expectations before I hit the sack...
Hey guys I need some help. I want to know what martial art is right for me. I want to be able to protect someone I am with. Now I realize that the best thing to do in situations like that is to run or call an authority or something but I am a firm believer in being prepared. I am 6 feet 1 inch...

Hi Guys,
Having lived in Phuket for a while now I know it can be tricky finding the right gym/accommodation here on the island. I came to train Muay Thai here back in March last year and now call this place my home (honestly its awesome here) .

We finished editing our blue belt weapons DVD today. ( Kobujutsu ). It contains Bo form two ( Choun No kon ) Arnis sticks 12 disarms, and double and reverse sinawali. It has been my goal to have DVD's for all 3 curriculums of the 3 arts that we do: Kenpo, Modern Arnis, and Kobujutsu. This brings...
I am new to this community but thought this would be a great way to ask a question to anyone
that might be able to help. I started wing tsun several years ago. My instructor closed his school
and has since not opened another one to the public. He still trains me some but its sporadic at best...

so i'm a couple weeks into bjj now and i'm loving it. I have a class but i also have sort of a private coach too. bjj guys really need to work on their aim for punching though. i was holding the focus mits for one of them during warm up and he ended up landing a barefisted hook to my forearm. at...
something that no one tells you until it's too late is how addicting bjj is. Ive only had 5 classes and it's already all i think about. i have a class but then i also have private lessons with a guy from my old gym who happens to go to the same college as me. He used to be an mma coach so after...
Hi all,
I am trying to find the origin/creater of yansu kata. There are conflicting suggestions, but nobody seems sure. Do you know? I am particularly interested in references - please let me know if you can direct me to a reliable source. The suggestions I have read are:
- Yansu may have been...
