Remember iron head training doesn't prevent knock outs.

You can still get ko'd with head gear and those boxing head gear don't protect against broken noses. Most guys don't wear head gear. The only times I wear head gear is 2 weeks before a fight to...

1. Get someone who can throw a decent jab.

2. You don't have a standing key lock off the jab. Maybe "traditional" practitioners leave their arm hanging out for someone to grab, but that's not...

I'm just paraphrasing the history Nancy Cerio gave me.





Which goes back to Shotokan and Funakoshi.

Not entirely.

Some the after black forms come from Tak Wah Eng, the before black forms mostly come from Shotokan (which can be traced further back). The first 10 defensive combinations were...

Are you looking for cheap insurance or good insurance? Are weapons going to be taught? Will there be sparring and to what level? ie. light contact (point), medium sparring (in class...

1st RULE: You do not talk about DeMasco's Shaolin Studio.

No one is going to recognize it. It is NOT a northern Shaolin temple standard form. It was made up by Sin The for his curriculum. This is what everyone has been trying to tell you for a page and a...

Ask for a volunteer from the audience and teach them something.

^ It's not about rank. It's about; does the student feel like they've achieved something from day one walking out of your class? Most instructors would quickly say, "Yes, they learned so much...

And it's for this reason I believe TMA are on the decline. Levels 1 and 2 as described do not provide students with instant gratification. Which is in turn why not many people are studying it...

1. Good luck getting on Groupon, Living Social or Amazon Local. They typically don't accept martial arts schools. And if they do, if they already have a school listed within 50 miles of your place...
