Mastering The Bo

Mastering The Bo

The bo is an excellent weapon but one of the more impractical ones because of its size. It is a piece of hard wood about six feet in length, and therefore cannot be easily concealed or carried in a car or on your person. Still, it has remained a favorite karate weapon for years because of its versatility and beauty when used in the hands of a master.

Knife Throwing Techniques Of The Ninja

Knife Throwing Techniques Of The Ninja


Whether the ninja was on the battlefield or in disguise as a beggar or merchant, he concealed a knife on his body when a larger weapon would have been noticed.

Using it in close combat was a vital skill, along with the art of knife throwing, which the ninja practiced and cultivated on a daily basis. There are a few techniques that have to be mastered before throwing a knife can be a reliable, accurate defense or offense

How To Start And Win Any Fight

How To Start And Win Any Fight

Everything You Need To Know
To Win Every Fight....You Ever Start

 Many of these techniques can be used to win a fight, but many are self defense. But never start a fight anyway.I find these are very easy to perform on a very untrained opponent, simply because, they do not know what to do, and since most school's students dont have classes in a martial art, its very very very unlikely they do.

Complete Book Of Wrists Locks

Martial Arts
 Magic Of Wrists Locks

The human wrist is a marvelous thing. It can bend forward and backwards, and make circles right and left. It can bend up and down and a little sideways, but it definitely has it limitations on where and how far it can bend in any of these directions. And the entire art of wrist locking is in knowing how and where to over bend and over stretch the wrist to cause severe and immense pain and disable or control your attacker

Complete Book Of One Steps

  Win fight in One Step
Magic of 
Martial Arts

Since I began my martial arts training over 35 years ago. I have found that the one area 
that my students seemed to always have problems with was “one steps” (the formalized 
routines for self defense) required for all belt promotions. It seemed that the students
minds went blank when they got up to do the tests and instead of remembering the dozens 
of one steps they knew they suddenly found themselves stuttering and stammering and
falling around the mats doing the same one step again and again or not remembering any
at all.  I knew that I had taught the students dozens of one steps for the tests and that they 
had practiced dozens even hundreds of times the one steps, again and again. So why were 
they forgetting?  I realized that it was due to “overload” and “over simulation” of their
minds with complex one steps that had absolutely no relation to anything they could
follow in their minds

Complete Book Of Karate Weapons

Complete Book Of Karate Weapons 
Introduction


 I began my training in the martial arts over fourteen years ago in the little town of Alexandria, Louisiana. From the first I was interested in weapons, but I had great difficulty in finding any but a handful of people who knew anything about weapons. For many years I was only able to acquire little bits of weapons training from various teachers here and there. I tried to learn all that I could from books, but found that the number of books on weapons is almost as short in supply as the number of instructors with a knowledge of weapons.

Complete Book of Ju Jitsu

                                                     Complete Book of Ju Jitsu
                              By Grandmaster Dr. Ted Gambordella



I have been studying jiu-jitsu for over 36 years and during that time I have seen it rise from obscurity to great prominence in the Martial Arts. When I 
first began my training, there were only a handful of jiu-jitsu students in my hometown of Alexandria, LA, and even after 5 years when I left for college 
there were still only a handful. I started the first jiu-jitsu club at LSU and it grew to about 40 students before I left.......
