Every martial art has it´s own unique kicks. They range from the rudimentary kicks of some styles of karate the the many acrobatic kicks of TaeKwonDo.  However the real question is are martial arts kicks effective for use on the street and if they are, which ones are the best to use? Certainly there are [...]

Not only have taser guns become one of the US police forces favorite and most commonly used (but highly controversial) weapons in their arsenal but are also used by criminals in the street. Taser guns have been touted as a non-lethal tool used to easily subdue an attacker, but have received much negative press after [...]
