Who are the Bad Guys?
Got a couple of things to cover this issue.
First…
pick up the free book,
RAT SYNTHESIS: SOUL RANGE: THE ART OF VICTORY: BECOME A DHARMIC WARRIOR
It is by Matt Russo.
and it is free for a week,
so check it out.
Second…
I was thinking the other day,
how do you tell the good guys from the bad guys?
It’s easy to say stay away from bad guys,
but how do you tell who is a bad guy,
and who…

Why the Horse Stance?
Good morning!
Summer is coming,
so start thinking about what art
you’re going to learn this summer!
Let’s talk about the horse stance.
It is considered by many
to be THE stance of classical martial arts.
Why?
First, because the body is an energy system.
If you’ve gotten any of my courses
you’ll remember that
weight equals work equals energy.
When you sink your weight,
your tan tien…

Hidden Techniques of Karate!
I originally published this book as Chiang Nan.
I added several hours of video links
and renamed it
‘Hidden Techniques of Karate.’
Oddly,
The version called Chiang Nan
without the video links
has five star ratings.
Hidden Techniques, however, has no ratings.
Weird.
You’d think I would have more and even better ratings
for a book that includes several hours of videos.
Anyway,
I want…

New Book on Nine Square Diagram Tai Chi Chuan!
What a beautiful day!
For me, what mades it so is the one form I do.
I start off the day with this form,
and I end the day with this form.
Oh, I still do Sanchin (including Seisan)
and my matrix forms,
but the one form that geets my full intention
day after day,
is in my new book
Advanced Tai Chi Chuan for Real Self Defense!
In this book I get rid of ALL the mystical bushwah,
and I…

Speed Posers in Martial Arts!
Last newsletter I talked about the basic poser technique,
a technique where the attacker has to wait
while the defender does the technique.
That’s the basic thing you’ll see
that makes a technique useless and unworkable.
A secondary poser would be one where
the defender has unrealistic hand speed.
The attacker throws a punch or two,
and the defender’s hands are a blur,
almost…

Poser Martial Arts Techniques!
What makes a good martial arts technique?
Actually, it is easier to ask what makes a bad martial arts technique.
I think I’m going to write a bit on this on future blogs,
but let’s start with what I call a ‘poser.’
First, before I give you the facts,
go on youtube and ask for bunkai,
or martial arts techniques,
or form applications.
Now,
have that page open while you read this…

Injuries Grow in Brazilian Jujitsu!
Martial Arts Injuries in Jujitsu!
(sign up for newsletter!)
Recently read an article that claimed
Brazilian Jujitsu was causing lots of injuries.
I find this fascinating.
When I started Kenpo Karate back in 67,
within two years I had broken my toes twice,
my hand once
and needed to repair a cracked tooth,
and I attributed these injuries to two things.
First,
poor instruction.
Can’t argue with…

Evolving in Tai Chi Chuan!
Accelerating Your Speed of Learning in Tai Chi!
I was always trying to figure out
how to make Tai Chi Chuan happen a little quicker.
Just as i didn’t want to take years for a black belt in other systems,
I didn’t want to take years to get the real benefits of Tai chi.

The Evolution of the Shaolin Martial Arts!
The History of the Shaolin Martial Arts
Most people say the Martial Arts
came from the Shaolin Temple.
Undoubtededly,
the Shaolin Temple is a big influencer.
But,
my own theory is slightly different.
Originally
I wrote a short column about ‘Og and Bog.’
Og steals Bog’s apples by conking him on the head,
Bog imagines a defense for getting conked on the head,
and we have a technique
and the birth…

Finding and Maintaining Health through Martial Arts!
Duc Tape and WD40 in the Martial Arts
A fellow once told me that the two most important things in life
are duc tape and WD40.
This is because everything is either falling apart,
or getting smunched together.
Makes sense, eh?
So I’ve been working on a Neutronics book
and I realized a couple of things.
There are three problems in life.
For a body it is inflammation.
For a mind it is tension.

Karate as a Filter for Life!
Everything in Life Seen Through Karate!
I think it was Gichin Funakoshi
who said that
‘all life is karate.’
So what does that really mean?
It means that you put a filter over your eyes
and view everything through karate.
As a professional writer I came to learn that
you can compare language to forms.
The motion of the body is a verb
that ends with a punctuation punch.
Basics are…

Martial Arts Spear Hand Revealed!
The Secret of the Karate Spear Hand Technique!
Did you know…
the spear hand is not a spear hand.
When I was at the Kang Duk Won
there were all sorts of people studying.
Glass blowers,
grave diggers,
college students,
and lots of outlaw motorcyclists.
1 per centers.
Mostly Hells Angels.
One day I went to class
and there were about twenty Harleys parked outside.
The Hells Angels were doing a…
