Why Most People Are Wrong About Martial Arts

October 23, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

martial artsTraditional martial artist will argue that their is no respect for tradition in today’s martial arts. Mixed martial art students will say that T.M.A. is non realistic when it comes to combat.

When it comes to martial arts there are no absolute rights or wrongs, rather there is just individual expression.

There is however a universal truth and that truth is that you must learn to master your mind, body and spirit to be a complete fighter/warrior. You can develop these attributes regardless of martial art path you take.

How To Know If You Are On The Wrong Martial Art Path

Here are some things for you to consider, it’s okay if some of these resonate with you. We are always in a constant state of growth. If you are sincere about learning, you will eventually come to understand the true nature of martial arts. [Read more…]

Are You Training Your Martial Arts Effectively?

June 2, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

martial artistReally it doesn’t matter what style of martial arts you are studying. What matters is how you approach your training. In today’s martial arts world you hear lots of talk about sparring and training realistically.

How many times have you heard things like: A wing chun guy is doomed if he/she is taken to the ground. Or that school doesn’t train with real pressure, they will never hold up in street fight.

First and foremost statements like that are just plain rude. Even more importantly you don’t become a skilled martial artist because you spar everyday. You don’t become a skilled martial artist because you show up to class every week.

Your skill as martial artist happens because of what you do on your own. Meaning when nobody else is around to watch you. The time you take to solo train every week is the most important factor if  increasing your skill matters to you. [Read more…]

It’s seems all over the internet you can find someone slamming traditional martial arts saying how they are outdated and non effective with today’s standards. It’s refreshing to see that traditional martial arts like Tai Chi holding it’s own against modern day martial art styles.

I am sure there will be some people that say this doesn’t look real. Or they may something along the lines of I would do x, y and z so that stuff wouldn’t work. Rather than trying to convince someone that what they are seeing is the real thing. I invite the person not to judge based on one or two personal experiences.

Martial art skills takes a life time to master. Learning to develop internal martial art skill takes much longer to truly develop than does learning external martial art skill. Some would say why waste time learning something that takes many years to be good at.

The reason is because being fast and strong will only take you so far in combat. At some point someone will be bigger stronger and faster than you. This video clearly demonstrates the difference between brute force vs internal martial skill.

Notice in the video how the big guy is breathing very very heavily while the smaller guy doesn’t even look a little winded.  I am the type of martial artist that believes you should have an open mind when your training. That you should really use all the tools at your disposal.

There is merit in developing your external skills as well as your internal skills. The martial artist that limits themselves to following only one way of thinking limits their own martial art growth.

Maybe 100 years ago you where limited to what you could learn.

 

…Now It’s Your Turn

What has your experience been dealing with internal martial arts?
