Ninja Stealth Guidelines

The following post was given to us by our friends at MarksTraining.com which is a great site to learn how to defend yourself when you are unarmed.

The video below is about how to get higher side kicks. The side kick is very popular amongst

karate and teakwondo practitioners. Muay thai, kickboxers and MMA fighters however tend not to use it as much, simply because they do not practise it as much as other kicks like the roundhouse and front kick.

This post may be a little of topic from our other posts about MMA but trust you will find this information valuable. Mohamed Ali is still hailed as probably one of the greatest fighters and boxers in the world and history. For all he achieved and the fame and adoration he has received he has remained humble and came across as really wanting to help others.

Taido

Similar to Okinawan karate, this codified fighting art introduced a number of innovative techniques, such as spinning and twisting movements and complex footwork moves.

There are five types of body movement: “ten” involves rolling and tumbling; “nen” is a horizontal spinning movement; “hen” is falling while changing the body’s axis; “un” is an ascending or descending movement; and “sen” involves vertical spinning.
