  • Why Kung Fu Techniques Can Improve Your Golf Game - I've been a golfer for over 30 years, and a student of Pai Lum Kung Fu for the past eight years, achieving the rank of 1st Degree Blackbelt. Although these are obviously radically different activities, to excel in either one, you must develop similar characteristics. Both golf and Kung Fu are total body activities that also engage the mind. First we will focus on flexibility.
  • Martial Arts Not Just For Children - Many people come in contact with martial arts first as children, and it can be hard for them to shake the feeling that martial arts is just for kids. Nothing could be further from the truth, however, and as an adult, there are plenty of benefits that you can gain from stepping on the mat and taking a shot at something like kung fu, aikido or karate. Plenty of adults take advantage of martial arts classes in their area and you will find that these classes have plenty to offer you.

  • How to Find a Tai Chi Instructor (Part 5) - Continued from “How to find a Tai Chi Instructor (Part 4) 22.Self Defense Applications - A Tai Chi teacher does not have to teach self defense to students who do not want it but any real teacher of Tai Chi who can impart the real knowledge of Tai Chi to others must have at least a basic understanding of how the movements are really applied and be able to demonstrate it. This is a necessity as the moves can only be truly understood if the practitioner knows the basic fundamental applications for the move. Without this knowledge the Tai Chi instruction really is a case of the blind leading the blind. Any basic Tai Chi instructor knows a minimum of 9 - 10 different applications for each and every move and the applications range from very simple to very sophisticated.

  • One Time, Big Time: The Music And Lyrics of One-Hit Wonders - Of course, any musician would want a long and lasting career in the music industry. This is, after all, a very profitable and very fulfilling occupation, and it can open doors to a number of opportunities beyond music. But there are times when this isn’t meant to be. A number of artists have tried to penetrate the music business and have partially succeeded. But what happens when their initial attempt succeeds, yet their succeeding efforts fail? They become the sad entities we know as one-hit wonders. The definition of a one-hit wonder can be somewhat loose, although it is acknowledged that anyone with just one hit of a song is considered as such. However, not all one-hit wonders can be defined in this category.

  • Do You Want To Join The 1% Of Successful Online Marketers? Then become a Kung-Fu Master! - I don't know for sure what percentage of people trying to make money on the Internet actually succeed. I doubt if it's much higher than 1%. That would mean about 99 people in every 100 meet with little or no success.
  • How To Find A Tai Chi Instructor (Part 3) - Continued from "How to find a Tai Chi Instructor (Part 2)" The same is true with Tai Chi. Even though approaches may be different, words like Chi, Jing, Peng, Sung, Tao, Yi, Shen and Li will be known by any real teacher. Anyone offering Tai Chi classes who does not have at least a working understanding of these terms simply does not have enough knowledge to properly teach Tai Chi. The instructor should have at least a basic working knowledge and ability with most of the following, 1. Basics of Chinese Medicine including Yin and Yang theory 2. Chi Kung including an understanding of what Chi is and what it is not 3.

  • Boxing Training Offers Great Opportunities For Aerobic Work Outs - As well as offering great defensive training, boxing, mixed martial arts, boxing kung fu and so on offer great opportunities for aerobic work outs. Boxing and marital arts offer superb body co-ordination and evasion training as you have to practice moving your body so as not to get hit just as much as you seek to hit your target. Because of this aerobic factor, boxing, for example, has moved beyond the youth boxing clubs and is now a more common feature of some health clubs. Boxing practice is a great way to burn fat and develop lean muscle mass, especially nowadays when so many of us are inclined to overeat.
  • How to get the most from martial arts training with meditation! - It doesn't matter if you practice kyokushin karate or taekwondo, a fact that remains with proper execution of reality based self defense techniques remains in the ability to stay focused and calm while in danger.
  • How To Find A Tai Chi Instructor (Part 2) - Continued from “How to find a Tai Chi Instructor (Part 1) Many people who teach Tai Chi in America today do not know any or much more than the form set of moves that make up the external physical look and choreography of Tai Chi. Although this is an important part of Tai Chi (just as a car’s body frame is an important part of a car) this alone will not impart most of the real benefits that Tai Chi is so famous for and will often leave new and even longer term students somewhat bewildered when they read or hear about the internal aspects and benefits of Tai Chi. Many people mistakenly think that if they just keep practicing the Tai Chi form then eventually they will grow into the knowledge and somehow magically gain the majority of benefits that Tai Chi offers.
  • Criminal psychology 101 & the importance of self defense training uncovered! - A majority of the criminals most likely to attack you in a mugging or rape are not your average, typical law abiding citizens. Instead they are ruthless, muscular from doing time in prison, addicted to drugs that give them super human strength like crystal meth. Not only that but these drug fiends are invulnerable to pain and yes, they want whatever you got which is why your martial arts training has to be developed and conditioned for all out warfare if you are attacked. Another point I would like to show you is that a criminal will pre-select his victim like a predator.
  • Which Martial Art Is The Best? - I’m often asked the question “Which is better, Karate or Taekwondo?”; “Which is stronger, Judo or Kung Fu?”; or more direct questions such as “Could you beat a Mixed Martial artist in a fight?
  • Martial Arts Uniforms: Getting the Right Fit - Whether you're just beginning martial arts training or you've been a practitioner for years, you may have encountered challenges in finding uniforms that have the right fit. Contrary to the popular saying, one size doesn't fit all when it comes to martial arts uniforms. Moreover, a single size might not fit correctly either. After all, many of us aren't proportionate;
  • New Martial Arts Drills To Keep Your Students From Getting Bored With Repetition. - I've known Helen for years and she's been in charge of a Kuk Sool Won class for the past two. Helen's great, she's tough, she's smart, and her school turns out responsible martial artists that can throw one of heck of a punch. I was in the area and due to take Helen out for lunch, so I showed up early and attended one of her late morning classes. I was a little surprised; it's been a while since I've done any Kuk Sool Won training and I certainly didn't remember some of the drills we were using. After we'd showered and settled down at our favorite Thai place, I inquired about it. "So what's up with the machine gun sidekicks?" I asked.
  • How to get the most from your self defense training and some flaws exposed! - If you are a regular martial arts practitioner and study and train regularly I commend you on your efforts. But today I will address a problem associated with black belt instructors who may be teaching counter productive self defense techniques without providing the real feel of a street attack. Basically these martial arts instructors are doing simple and easy movements like grabbing the students wrist without escalating the attack. A real bad guy will grab your wrist, strike you with his free hand while physically shoving you and offering you resistance and throwing an arsenal of strikes.
  • Discipline, Concentration And Self-Control: Vital Attributes of A Martial Arts Expert - The ancient martial arts have always been an aged-old self defense technique that is seen as a novel way of developing both mind and body.

  • There's Nothing Soft about Tai Chi - When the small tai chi master from China threw me to my basement floor, I realized the real power behind this misunderstood martial art. I laughed at how easily he threw me down. He laughed, too. I slowly picked myself up off the carpet and tried again.
  • Is Your Martial Art Deep? - Let's face it; karate has been exposed. There was a time when the karate man was looked upon with respect and feared. A time when, if someone said they were a black belt, it caused others to be impressed. You can say that karate has become outdated. There has been an interesting development in the martial arts in the late 20th Century and into the 21st. Martial arts have evolved and become much more true to life than ever. If you are one of those people who like to question things then maybe this thought has gone through your mind. Why are there so many different martial arts systems in the world.
  • Improving Your Balance Will Improve Your Golf Swing Power - One of the most overlooked keys to a powerful golf swing is proper balance in your golf swing. Quite often, most students are told that one of the keys to a good golf swing is to maintain good balance, and to try and keep your balance somewhere near the balls of your feet. Unfortunately, that is where the discussion ends. I trained for eight years in the martial art of Pai Lum Kung Fu, and proper balance was stressed throughout my training, from my days as a beginner student, and even beyond when I attained 1st Degree Black Belt.
  • How To Be Safe While Traveling - The most dangerous time in your life, when you are most likely to be attacked is when you are unfamiliar area. Tourists are the favorite prey of the goblins of the world for the following reasons: They are easy to spot. Tourists make the mistake of not blending in, wearing clothes that stand out. Shorts in a climate where everyone else is wearing pants. Brand-new clothes with bright colors. A camera around the neck, and a generally lost look on the face. They're not armed.
  • The Way of Self Defense - At the moment of initial attack from my foe, I attack the centerline (usually the throat) and establishing a dominant and proper position through the interception of the attacker's limbs. I maintain and observe all elements of good form as I read the opponents energy through sensitivity. When he moves, and he will, I move first. From here I maintain what I have achieved. No giving up space or position. From the initial attack to the finishing blow a fight should be as brief as possible. The best scenario is when one is able to subdue the attacker within three moves.
  • What is Different About Wing Chun? - According to Wing Chun, there are several ways of defeating the enemy: striking, kicking, joint locking, controlling, throwing and the use of weapons are the most common.
  • Wing Chun- Chinese boxing - Wing Chun was made known to many Westerners through its most famous disciple- Jun Fan, English name: Bruce Lee. It is from the basic principles of this ancient Chinese martial art, a branch of Kung Fu, that the Little Dragon patterned his own art- Jeet Kune Do after. The exact origin of Wing Chun, like most of its contemporaries, is quite hazy.
  • The Hot And Cold Celebrities Of TV - Celebrities, for the most part, stand the test of time. Once they become stars, they remain stars until the day they die and even beyond. But there is another type of celebrity. This kind is known as the "fleeting celebrity". They are said to have their "15 minutes of fame", which was a phrase coined by the late Andy Warhol. Our culture has seen a number of these 15 minute wonders. We're going to take a look at just a few of them here. Why don't we start off with two for the price of one? Remember quite a few years ago when a 16 year old girl by the name of Amy Fisher had an affair with a guy by the name of Joey Buttafuco? Amy ended up shooting the guy's wife in the head and ended up going to prison for 6 years.

  • China vacations info - Urumqi travel info - This article is about the Urumqi travel and you can find some useful information in it if you are planning your Urumqi travel now.

In the Mongolian language, Urumqi means "Beautiful Meadow." To get here, you can take the plane and this trip is about 5 hours (from Shanghai to Urumqi).

  • Studying Martial Arts in the Video Age - The martial arts are full of legends--tales of masters who could fling a larger opponent across a room with the flick of a finger, or masters who could defeat a crowd of martial artists without being injured. One legend tells of a young student who wanted to learn a form (also called "kata") from a master.
  • Let's Get Wing Chun Out Of The Garage - Perhaps we should take a good look at how martial arts are taught today and the different mentalities involved. Maybe we should question not our methods of Wing Chun, but our motivations for teaching this great fighting system. There are several questions that come to mind when I think about how excellent Wing Chun is as a fighting system and yet here in the United States, we are few in number. If we were to compare to Tae Kwon Do schools we are last place. They have really nice schools that are not only beautiful to look at, but also safe to train in. Why is that? I know what you are thinking already. Tae Kwon Do schools are nothing more than McDojo's that only exist to make the owner of the school rich.

For Karate the uniform consists of a white suit and it comes in two different sizes for both males and females. Firstly there is a children's white uniform and then there is the adult white uniform.

  • Phil Hellmuth's Book Makes Me Play like an Intermediate - Phil Hellmuth can come off as a cocky guy, but let's face it he has something to be cocky about.
