  • Gauging Footwork in Defending Against Kicking Attacks in Kenpo
    Gauging Footwork in Defending Against Kicking Attacks in Kenpo 1st Degree Black Belt Thesis By Mr. David Byrne Celbridge Kenpo Karate Academy Introduction The following are the eight techniques selected for analysis: • Deflecting Hammer- Straight Right Kick • Thrusting Salute- Straight Left Kick • Swinging Pendulum- Right Roundhouse Kick • Detour From Doom- Right Round House Kick • Hugging Pendulum- Right Thrusting Knife Kick • Retreating Pendulum- Rear Cross Heel Kick • Dance of Darkness- Straight Right Kick Right Punch • Unwinding Pendulum- Straight Right Kick Right Punch One of the most difficult things to do when faced with an attacker is to decide what weapons he will employ - Hands, Feet, Knife, Bottle or Stick and how to react with the correct block or defence in a split second. The most important consideration initially must be range and environment. By using your judgement and experience to gauge your attackers range, you can increase the distance between you, which gives you time to decide on your defence, reduces your chance of injury and unsettles your opponent by removing his advantage of intent and forethought. As Mr. Parker said "Distance is your best friend". This is known in Kenpo as Depth Perception which allows you to follow the logical sequence of how I have been taught all of my techniques, the most important is the first one, followed by the second and third. The eight considerations or factors that must be followed in combat if you are to be successful are : • Environment • Range • Position • Manoeuvres • Targets • Natural Weapons • Block • Cover I have chosen eight techniques from our syllabus in order to show how Kenpo uses depth perception and gauging footwork to prevent and eliminate the threat.

In Europe, the School of Internal Arts (pseudonym) follows key principles of the ancient Chinese text The Yijinjing (The Muscle-Tendon Change Classic) “Skeleton up, flesh down”, in its online and offline pedagogy. This article draws on an ongoing ethnographic, netnographic and cross-cultural investigation of the transmission of knowledge in this atypical association that combines Taijiquan with a range of practices such as Qigong, body loosening exercises and meditation. Exploring the ideal body cultivated by the students, we describe and illustrate key (and often overlooked) body areas—namely the spine, scapula, Kua and feet, which are continually worked on in the School of Internal Arts’ exercise-based pedagogy. We argue that Neigong and Taijiquan, rather than being forms of physical education, are vehicles for adult physical re-education. This re-education offers space in which mind-body tension built over the life course are systematically Citation: Ma, X.; Jennings, G. “Hang released through specific forms of attentive, meditative exercise to lay the foundations for a strong, the Flesh off the Bones”: Cultivating powerful body for martial artistry and health.

  • Filipino Martial Arts and Physical Fitness
    Filipino Martial Arts and Physical Fitness By: Lakan Guro Rene L. Castro Global Executive Secretary of the World BaisTresManos/Kali's Silat Kun-Tao FMA Heritage Network To practice Filipino martial arts, as in any other martial arts, one must demonstrate control and self- awareness of one’s own mental and physical state. While both the mind and body equally contribute to the successful practice of Filipino Martial Arts, this article aims to outline the physical aspect of this unique and ancient form of self-defense. When engaging in combat, Filipino martial arts recognizes three basic tactical ranges - close, medium, and long. Each style varies in terms of physical demands required from the body. For instance, the close combat range requires quick short movements keeping extremities close to the body whereas long range requires full extension of all extremities promoting flexibility of muscles and full mobility of joints. The use of weapons is another cornerstone in the practice of Filipino martial arts. Such weapons include the use of various knives and fighting sticks. The proper manipulation of such weapons requires a sense of fine motor control and dexterity. Traditional weaponry varies in terms of size, weight and design so one must learn to accommodate to such nuances. The physical training in weaponry helps to develop strength in all the muscle groups of the upper extremities to manipulate such devices. The various breathing techniques involved with warm-up meditations not only ease the mind but it also trains the cardio-pulmonary system. Proper breathing methods can nourish organs, supply oxygen for muscle function and also calm the mind.

  • Wing Chun 7 Star Footwork 詠春七星步法
    Wing Chun Seven Star Footwork 詠春七星步法 by Michael Tse When studying Wing Chun Kung Fu 詠春功夫, most people concentrate on hand techniques and do not consider good footwork. No matter how good you are, no matter what techniques you use, if you only concentrate on hand techniques then your skill will not work when you come across someone who has a better skill level or who is stronger than you. Imagine someone punching your face or chest. If you use Taan Sau 攤手 or Bong Sau 膀手, even with Jyun Ma 轉馬 (turning to the side and pronounced “Joone”) you will still use a lot of energy as their attack will be very powerful. If you step back a little, or even better, step a little to the side to avoid the strike, then you will be able to receive their energy better and you will almost not need to use any energy yourself to contact their hand. If we do not step, then our opponent, who may really want to hurt us, will definitely be able to reach our face or chest. No matter what hand we use, for instance Taan Sau 攤手, Bong Sau 膀手, Gaan Sau 耕手, if we do not move, we are still using strength against strength. Power that comes goes forward is always stronger than receiving power. Even if we can block it we will still need to use a lot of energy. Just using Jyun Ma is not enough to receive that power easily and even though we might divert it, the next attack will be even harder as the opponent comes forwards.
