I'd like to improve in situations where the ground isn't level. I'd also like to be able to control my kicks more. Avoid being tackled. General stuff.
I see your point. At this point however, I'm very new to sparring. I've done it for four days. What I'll do is practice basics like proper...
Osage Orange is the hardest wood in North America. Good luck working it or finding anything made with it besides bows. Some traditional archery...
Thank you. These stretches and balancing ideas are interesting.
Thanks everyone. I'll work on correcting my breathing. The mount we spar is variable but 20 minutes is the longest I've done it. We do not spar...
Is there a good flexibility and balance routine you'd suggest for a martial artist? I do karate, and my style doesn't use high kicks.
I was maybe nine or ten when I took a karate class at the Y. I quit in a month and a half and rejoined eleven years later. Then I quit because it...
I want to be able to spar lightly for twenty minutes without getting completely exhausted. I also want to continue the stronglifts 5x5 program....

The best way of winning is to not risk having to fight in the first place. Most self-defense situations, especially for guys, can be solved by...
Sorry, I wasn't clear about this. I shouldn't have said bladed weapon. My instructors are not teaching bladed weapon defense with any sort of...
My sensei always tell me to high block, age-uke, with the ulna facing outwards. This makes sense to me because your arm is stronger in this...
I'm doing stronglifts 5x5 which seems to be what you're looking for. Don't neglect form. Seek instruction on the freeweights, if you haven't used...
People might need more information about you to give good tips. What's your fitness level? Why do you want to build muscle? Are there any physical...
As far as your first question goes, it might be better to phrase it as "What are the best styles for ________" replacing the black space with what...
The founder of my style, Ryu Te, felt that the breathing techniques were easy to perform incorrectly and damaging to the body if they were done...
I was kind of hoping I could get right into using an unweighted barbell for squats at least. Sigh. Oh well, could I at least use an unweighted...
I haven't tried them with weight yet. I can do at least five bodyweight squats without pain. I'll try them and if I feel pain I'll contact a GP....
I'm not sure i did them correctly but they didn't hurt.
