I'm no expert but it fits intuition that a strong root is part of a powerful strike (and block if you wish to block with strength). Sitting for a long time probably teaches your body to sit in the...

Agreed totally. Just started regular judo training. Many new pains! Starting to feel on the wrong side of 25 for the first time in my life!

Love the intensity and the ability to "fight" in every...

Anyone know any good judo resources on the net? I've just started and would like to see some good video and start to learn the japanese terms.

Not CMA, but I know that some of the regulars also...

Hey guys,

sorry for a blatant non kung fu use of the forum!

I'm over from Perth, Australia - to Portland, Maine and then to Boston for around two weeks in early November (university...

After reading the "A model to consider" thread and heaps of previous comments it seems that many people in Wing Chun separate techniques into:

- Street moves (deadly!! :O )
- Sport moves (i.e....

I could have been more explicit - at my old school we used to call it blindfolded even if you just closed your eyes. :)



I believe that a small portion of blindfolded (or eyes closed :D ) chi...

There's been heaps of video posted lately (greatly appreciated :) ) but one thing has really annoyed me from many blindfolded chi sao videos is people turning their heads away during chi sao.

-Is...

must be killing ya! :eek: do hold off as long as possible. I remember both alcohol and exercise both prolonging my time in bed.

catchya when you're feeling better. :)

Crap! Hope you and your wife get better quickly. :)

... what Mat said, though I didn't even have the energy to get bored when I had it :p

Some great responses - cheers!

Ali - my hands are pretty good from lots of random close sparring (chi sao and breaking away from it) but thanks for the ideas.

Vankeun - I'm slowly getting this...

nice! I like the camera idea as well

thanks for the ideas :)

regardless of stance structure (50/50, 100/0 etc, and heel / middle / ball of foot etc) mobility must be trained from "safe" environment, progressively up to pressure...

Ali

my girlfriend has one too - not sure but may have something to do with her having a weak wrist on that side (can be very painful)

apparently they used to bash 'em with a bible (though any heavy...

surely the title should be "photo of a ... laptop ..." :eek:

I think the blindside concept (like anything) is something you have to experiment with and decide when and how it can work for you.

interestingly - last time I was training at GM William Cheungs...

Nup haven't heard of Paul Vunak, not really up with the whole fighting scene - what does he train? I was just wondering if there wan something to learn re: the eyes thing ;)

I love the TWC dummy...

Check out the vid again - its quite obvious a few times. I was just wondering because I'm always pulling up beginners for looking where they are stepping too much.


yep same 'ere

Hi James

Very interesting - good precise technique, some things are quite different to what I've been taught, but food for thought.

One question - I saw your student looking down at the leg...
