I guess the point of covering is to rapidly respond with another strike once the opponents arms are temporarily held?
Total nonsense. There is an area in the UK (Rendelsham Forest) where many people kept thinking they saw UFOs. People flocked there for years....
I like Fearless too. Came across it by accident one evening when it was on the tele. Great film, real gritty martial arts action (something the...
I think that if a martial art has a grading system it has to split it out by age. Maybe the younger age groups should never be able to attain...
Love the way the guy in white turns and skips away. It all looked a bit relaxed didn't it? I guess all sports are just becoming more and more...
Yeah, I use CCleaner too. Although I am wondering if it does anything with duplicate files - or why you would want it to. I backup all my...
Interesting how you describe the different types of punch. A kickboxing instructor once explained the differences in light, medium and full...
The short answer is - no. You can get good insights into a style, or use videos to revise what you have already learnt, but you cannot learn. No...
The instructor should have stepped in sooner. In fact, he should have known the other guy better and not paired you to start with. You are there...
Ideally a martial artist should be trained well enough to be able to your the required force to defend themselves, regardless of the situation /...
If you want to learn a particular style then lineage is important to an extent. But ultimately you need a good teacher. Good teachers are not...
Never use a "scan" that is offered in a pop up. Best bet is to download Avast! or AVG (both have free for home use versions) and run one of those....
You have to believe that you can win, but strive to understand your weaknesses so that you can defend them and play to your strengths. Fights are...
For me it was to learn to fight like Jackie Chan! Sounds silly, but my first introduction to kung-fu was when Channel 4 (UK) showed a series of...
As sad as it may sound, I took up martial arts after watching some Jackie Chan films in the summer before I went to Uni (1992). Jonathan Ross...
Mmmm. Tomorrow I will still be tidying the kitchen. 2 minutes to midnight, and still have a kitchen to clean and a carpet to shampoo before bed....
Took a short walk along a long pier today. 1.3 miles. Southend Pier. Still longest in Europe? Or the world?
I too am curious as to why they come off. Being a bloke, I am not all that knowledgeable in the more practicable types of ladies underwear....
The Indian navy did sink a pirate ship (apparently the pirates opened fire on a Navy ship, so they fired back). And on the BBC news this evening...
Lots of people are killed by being beaten to death, usually by people with no history of martial training. My point is that the media seem to make...
It's funny, as if a mechanic, artist, chef, teacher, secretary or dog trainer turn out to be pychopathic, there is generally no mention of their...
Traditional is often hard to find. In fact, what is traditional? A lot of what people consider traditional is not actually traditional at all....
Never a fan of D&D proper, but played many PC games based on it, and schoolfriends (many years ago) were into it. Sad news. And so young.
Maybe look for a new style, something that strains the knees less? Although struggling to think what would be suitable. Why not try wing chun or...
Rather than do martial arts training, why not compliment your martial arts with weight training (compound training) and circuit training /...

When I badly twisted my ankle kick boxing (chipped fibula) my sifu put some dit dar on it (Chinese herbal ointment). I told the doc, she looked at...
The problem is that from the outside, non martial artists think that all martial arts are the same. But when you start to learn them you realise...
A friend of mine has sleep apnoea. He uses a machine when he sleeps, no big deal. Says he has much better sleep now. But until that is diagnosed...
