Much can be said about this ancient art. In the years I have been studying it, My balance has improved, I feel more energetic and it blends nicely with the other arts I study.

Internal martial arts are void of all the external power you see exhibited in other fighting arts. That is because at the art of the Grand Ultimate Fist is peace and harmony.  A Tai Chi Chuan student doesn’t try to win a fight by brute force, nor do they seek violence. They simply strive to become one with the energy that is being presented to them. It is through this balance and harmony that they are able to overcome their attacker.

Seems like everyday some new truth is coming out on what good martial arts is. Have we begun to become so arrogant to believe that 1,000 years ago they didn’t see the need to cross train in other styles of martial arts. We are a culture who feed off of t.v as our source for information.  The media can paint any picture it likes and the masses unfortunately will buy into what the media tells them to.

While I enjoy good martial arts matches things like the UFC and other MMA outlets have made a circus out of something many of us have the utmost respect for.

Not to take away from what MMA is  because there is a lot of good knowledge that has come from mixed martial artist fighters. It has made many people realize just how important cross training really is. Especially if you are preparing for the unknown.

But it seems like many people in the MMA camp mostly the youth, see mixed martial arts as the only way to win a fight. This has turned an idea and solidified it into law.  When a person takes a martial art and makes it law it becomes stagnant it is at that point a person can no longer learn and their cup is now full.

Empty your cup and always stay in a continual state of learning , this is the best way to assure growth in your training.

Reality Fighting – Whats The Real Deal?

By Leave a Comment

In today’s world of martial arts Reality Fighting is the big thing.  But what I can see reality fighting is nothing more than 2 dudes slugging it out.  While there are many arguments as to what is effective and what is not. I was always under the impression that if a 5’3 ft lady can’t use the system against a 6’5 man then the style is ineffective in real combat or self defense.

Real self defense has nothing to do with reality fighting, when you enter the ring or octagon you know your opponent you also are paired against someone of equal size and mass. What you end up seeing is to people doing all they can to just hurt each other.

A real fight is a matter of survival in many cases you may truly have to defend yourself from serious injury or even death. There are no rings , no corners, no coaches.

I respect all styles because I know its not the style that matters but the quality of a persons soul and the dedication to what they believe.  Ultimately each of us must seek our own truth.
