Our Hung Gar Kung Fu students are already working on their Lau Gar Stick Form in anticipation of the roominess afforded by our outdoor training!!! As I gazed out across our parking lot I was a little distressed by the gaping holes in the parking lot. I’m concerned that one of our Dragons will step into one of those potholes and reappear in China during one of our workouts! LOL! I will notify the landlord, but suspect that I will have to take the matter into my own hands. Anyone with knowledge as to how to fill the holes cheaply and efficiently is invited to enlighten me! I’m so much looking forward to training with all of you for anoher year! As summer rolls in we will be entering into our 15th year of operations in Ajax!! Karl, Sifu April 2011, Volume 3, Issue 4 2 Kickboxing Fundamentals THE SIDEKICK - MORE THAN JUST A MOVIE KICK! The Sidekick is a vastly underrated kicking technique. It is a nice looking technique that is featured frequently in Television shows and Films but is rarely used in full contact kickboxing and MMA bouts.

Also known as Vale Tudo, No Holds Barred (NHB), Cage Fighting, Ultimate Fighting, Pride Fighting, Sougo Kakutogi Focus Various Hardness Full contact Olympic sport No Mixed martial arts (MMA), popularly known as cage fighting or ultimate fighting is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques and skills, from a mixture of other combat sports, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of both striking as well as grappling techniques, both while standing and while on the ground. Such competitions allow fighters of different backgrounds to compete. The roots of modern mixed martial arts can be traced back to various mixed style contests that took place throughout Europe, Japan and the Pacific Rim during the early 1900s. The combat sport of Vale Tudo that had developed in Brazil from the 1920s was brought to the United States by the Gracie family in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Professional MMA events had also been held in Japan by Shooto starting back in 1989. In due course the more dangerous Vale Tudo style bouts of the early UFCs were made safer with the implementation of additional rules, leading to the popular regulated form of MMA seen today. Originally promoted as a competition with the intention of finding the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations,

    Built with Empty Fists: The Rise and Circulation of Black Power Martial Artistry during the Cold War by Maryam K. Aziz A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in the University of Michigan 2020 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Matthew J. Countryman, Chair Associate Professor Victor Román Mendoza Associate Professor Sherie M. Randolph, Georgia Tech University Associate Professor Stephen Ward Maryam K. Aziz [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-2006-4285 © Maryam K. Aziz 2020 DEDICATION To my Nana, Dr. Winfred Barbee, who passed away just as I finished prelims and defended my prospectus. Thank you for helping to raise me, for all the years of laughter, rigor, and Black culture, and for being the first person to see me submit this dissertation, perched from your hallowed place atop my desk. To Aura Rain Rosser, who lost her life shortly after I arrived in Ann Arbor. If not for state violence, you may very well have become the doctor instead of me, but you certainly would have grown old. And to all the Black women, cis, trans, and non-binary, who have lost their lives but now fly over us. You are the real warriors. #SayHerName ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I could not have written this project without the figures included in its pages. They told their own stories and created their own archives. I picked up a story already told and, like my favorite detectives, listened to those who lived it. I thank everyone that showed me that martial arts, movement arts, and healing movements are woven into the fabric of human cultures.

  • Senior Master Charles D. Battle - 6Th Dan American Okinawan Karate
    SENIOR MASTER CHARLES D. BATTLE - 6TH DAN AMERICAN OKINAWAN KARATE Senior Master Charles D. Battle was born in Enfield, North Carolina on July 16, 1966. At the age of seventeen, he enlisted in the United States Navy. Through his travels while in the Navy, he was introduced to several styles of martial arts. They included, Kali, Kung-Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, Boxing, Kickboxing, and Shorin-Ryu Karate. In 1984, while stationed in Yokosuka, Japan, he started his martial arts training in American Karate and Stick Fighting under Sensei Richard Robinson. In 1988 he was stationed in Naples, Italy, and began his training in Tang Soo Do under the tutelage of Sah Bum Nim Kevin Case. After three years of dedication to his training, he had met all of the requirements to become a Black Belt. In July 1991, Master Battle traveled to Munich, Germany to test for his Black Belt. He had the privilege to be tested by Grandmaster Jae C. Shin, the founder and president of the World Tang Soo Do Association. After his tour of duty ended in Naples, Italy, Master Battle was stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. While onboard the U.S.S. Hunley (AS-31) he continued his training in Tang Soo Do and he also began to learn the Sweet Science of Boxing. As if boxing training wasn’t demanding enough, Master Battle started kickboxing under the tutelage of Curtis Bush “The Explosive Thin Man.” While onboard the U.S.S. Hunley (AS-31), Master Battle organized, coached and fought on the “31 Dragons” karate team.
