I am a full-fledged lover of the martial arts. To be specific I practice the Tae Kwon Do Forms, Tae Kwon Do Sparring and Poomse also.

Some people practicing Tae Kwon Do Forms might think: what’s the purpose of Tae Kwon Do training if you’re not allowed to use it in the streets?

Should I Learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?

Posted on 13 May 2010 by Tony Thacker

If you decide to get involved in Brazilian jiu jitsu training, you will not be alone. There are a large number of Brazilian jiu-jitsu academies that have opened across North America in order to supply the demand for training in this discipline. Mixed martial arts tournaments have been the perfect platform for showing how Brazilian jiu jitsu can often defeat fighters of different disciplines. Here is what you can expect in a basic class.

Brazilian jiu jitsu training, as with other martial arts and most types of ordered physical activities, will practically always start with some form of a warm-up. If you’re new to jiu jitsu, then the trainer will almost certainly focus on a easier warm-up session. A lighter session will normally involve some fundamental exercises like situps and pushups, and perhaps laps around the room. Stretching also occurs once your body has warmed up a bit. A more intense warm-up would be longer and really created to break a sweat and help you with conditioning for stamina.

Combat 56, Khridoli, R.O.S.S., Systema: 3 Very Different Martial Arts

Posted on 20 November 2009 by Tony Thacker

Different Types of Martial Arts

Combat 56

Founded by Major Arkadiusz Kups, Combat 56 is a Polish close-quarter combat, self-defense art similar to judo. It is named after an elite troop known as the 56th Company, a secretive unit thought to have operated behind enemy lines during a number of recent conflicts. Kups quickly recognized the need to equip his troops with a quick-to-learn, lethal range of close-quarter combat techniques that could be employed effectively on operations, and, although little is officially known about the system, it is reasonable to conclude that it contains knife-fighting elements, breaks, chokes, throws, and striking movements to vulnerable points of the body.
