Si-Fu Julian Hitch, Wing Tsun Kung Fu Master, oversees the schools, teaching the instructors and senior students. He teaches a large number of high level martial artists of all styles, including National Champions. Wing Tsun is unique in that it was designed by a woman for women to defend themselves. This special history means that it is the only Martial Art where a weaker person can effectively defend against a stronger. Our schools are quite unusual as we have a number of female instructors teaching self defence for women. Naturally smaller than men, the only way that women can normally excel in most martial arts is by training very hard, and often dangerously, for many years. In Wing Tsun this is...

Training on sand is so beneficial to every type of martial artist and ten seconds into it and I'm sure the differences will be noticed from when training on a hard durable floor. When training in your dojo, home or wherever it is you normally train, its very easy to take for granted that the floor helps you with movement. Try getting up and jumping from side to side. If you stop to analyze the process of moving, you should notice that in order for this to happen, you have to push into the ground with your feet, so as to drive your legs to start the movement. This pushing into the ground with your feet is also achieved when walking, running, jumping, kicking and lunging. When a grappler moves when...

Many times the following has been seen and experienced. Two martial artists are sparring. They spar using strikes, clinch fighting, takedowns and ground fighting. There strikes are impressive, there clinching fighting is smooth as are there takedowns and they move from submission to submission incorporating locks to nearly every joint and a variety of chokes when on the ground. They seem to be experts in there field, except that not one can apply a lock of any type while standing. Why? Well the reason why, is because of the fact that they are both experienced fighters. To be able to apply a lock (standing or on the ground) a few factors need to be addressed. Firstly the person being locked must not...

This article encourages prospective online marketers to take time to learn the business properly, rather than rushing from one "Instant Wealth" scheme to another. It draws a parallel with devolping "Kung Fu" in the Martial Arts - an excellence gained over time and with great personal effort. Copyright (c) 2008 Steve Cowley I don't know for sure what percentage of people trying to make money on the Internet actually succeed. I doubt if it's much higher than 1%. That would mean about 99 people in every 100 meet with little or no success. And with it go their dreams, energy, and money! I suspect that part of the reason for this high failure rate is the promise of "Instant" rewards that is so prevalent...

The era of the ultimate and real gung fu was about 1975 to 1985, give or take a few years. Of course, the time period could probably include the time period of 1985 to 1995, because that is when those movies hit the late night TV circuit. And, of course, chop sockies forever, because we can now get them on Amazon, though we should make sure it is a clean copy and that we have a good DVD player. One could make argument that Bruce Lee provided the first chop sockie, and they wouldn't be wrong, for his movies started the flood of kung fu flicks in America. The first real chop sockie, however, would have to be Five Fingers of Death, with the incredible Lo Lieh. Lo Lieh, who jammed his broken fingers...

By the time you get to the end of this article, you will fully understand how important it is to have a jiu jitsu workout routine.

Also, it's not helpful to cut carbohydrates out of your diet as a quick way to lose weight. When learning the sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the amount of calories you will burn every class will be extreme. Carbohydrates are vital to recovery and energy stores in your body. The best system is to cut calories while maintaining a good balance of carbs, fat, and protein. The 60/20/20 breakdown seems to work the best; meaning 60% of your daily caloric intake should come from carbs, 20% from fat, and the remaining 20% protein. The...

Why Learn the Art of Self-Protection at Home? 1. Increase in your self-confidence. The more you learn and understand the basics of self-defense; your self-confidence levels will increase. When your confidence goes up it will spill over into all areas of your life. People will notice a change in you. Your step will have more spring to it. 2.

Attacks in parking lots and parking garages are increasing. Those are areas that are usually semi isolated and not well patrolled or lit. They're a prime place for attacks. 3...

It's not anything new. On the contrary, these ideas have been tried over and over again. Its not anything different either. There have been countless number of people that have attempted this. The few that do get it seem to become legendary. But like I said, it's not anything new. Its been the same since the beginning of time. The laws of physics govern everything in the natural world. Therefore, as a martial artist, but more importantly, as a human, those that follow natural principles most closely will have a better understanding of truth. Whether its the natural principles of body mechanics, timing, and force, or the connections of non physical things inherent in the world around us. As simple as...

In a previous article I discussed seven good ways to help end a fight quickly.

This will not win you a fight efficiently-if at all. So, one must understand that the simplest but most damaging, pain inducing method will be the best way to end a fight quickly. Here are five more: 1. If you know how to ground fight well and am only fighting ONE person, take them to the ground and submit them. A lot of people think they can wrestle well, but if you know how to ground fight they'll have no chance. A submission will only...

For an astoundingly affordable price, you can get the enormous 68-inch Nodachi sword that mirrors Japan's ethnicity and gallantry. The nodachi, or odachi, was the cavalry and foot soldier's weapon in ancient Japan. Nodachi, with a typical candor, is a Japanese word, which literally means "big" and that which resounds a figurative meaning of "Horse Killing Sword." The Nodachi sword was always favored in battle because of its blade's amazing cutting power. Due to its immensity, both the Japanese soldiers' hands were required in handling the sword, a reflection of who can then endure the toughest battles. The 68-inch humongous carbon steel is divided between the blade that runs at an approximate length...

e the best ninjas of fuedal Japan, that is a question that is not easily answered. Though virtually every clan throughout Japan had its own form of ninjitsu training, there were only a couple whose name and reputations bacame legendary.

Originally developed as a small self defence weapon, keyring fobs have been modified over time to become handy tools, with bottle openers and nail clippers attached to them for example. They can be used as a pry bar or screwdriver. Most of the fobs are usually made of some hard metal, like steel or copper to make them handy as tools. But they are also available in plastic and other more colourful materials. A fob is very useful to attach the keys which are really important in a household or office and which are used on a regular basis. Ideally your fob should carry the important keys like your car or house keys. It is important to choose keyring fobs which are ergonomically designed. One should be...

As standing armies, as opposed to the feudal levy, developed in the 1500s, the military use of the sword started to develop separately from civilian practice. By the late 1600s military swordsmanship was already characterized by a mass application very different from civilian requirements. A gentleman about town needed to be able to use the sword to resist attacks by thugs and to fight duels. These requirements were met very nicely by the smallsword, which combined speed and finesse for the duel or the unexpected encounter with a stylish appearance that made it an appropriate accessory to the gentleman's attire. This was a weapon designed to be used in situations where you could concentrate on the...

It is certainly no surprise that Ninjutsu does not have a clear lineage or history, especially given its dealings with extreme amounts of secrecy, stealth and escapism. More than likely, the early founders of Ninjutsu did not necessarily want many people knowing where this art came from, considering they were trying to remain concealed and as unobtrusive as possible. We do know, however, that Ninjutsu originated in the country of Japan when early mountaineers needed to devise complex methods of survival. As time went on, however, Ninjutsu became more popular of an art and many schools were set up in its name in order to teach Ninjutsu and pass on this extremely rare and unique knowledge. During...
