The Cold Truth Part 1: The Money You Make Is Peanuts, You Have Low Returns At The End

Fighters, asides from fight winnings and holding a regular job, usually get financial sponsors. Unless you are a big money fighter, don’t expect to get big money sponsorships.

The Story of Ip Man’s Wooden Dummy

Introduction: A Very Brief History of the Wooden Dummy in the Southern Chinese Martial Arts.

I have been shopping for a new wooden dummy (Mook Yan Jong). Obviously Wing Chun has a long and fruitful association with the wooden dummy, but this training tool is used throughout the southern Chinese martial arts.

You Are Not A Bill Collector!

If you have 50 or more students, or intend on having more than 50 students, you need to bite the bullet and start letting a third-party collect tuition for you.

One of the instructors I’ve worked with recently said,

“I would spend at least the first full week of each month in the lobby talking to parents and collecting payments. Many of the families wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving their payment…

Are Vital Points a part of TaeKwonDo study?

For a Traditional TaeKwonDo student the question in the headline is not even an issue. Of course it is! For the mainstream Taekwondoin (even some who call themselves “Traditional”) it is a question of great controversy. I have to say that I can not blame many for a lack of knowledge in this area as even in my own organisation the study of vital points are not really delved into until you get…

Aikido is not a Martial Art, It is Budo

Recently during Keiko sensei talked about Aikido training. He talked about being a good uke and what points you should remember. Obviously this is not a transcirpt of what Sensei said. It is my translation of the important points. Anyway I hope you find it interesting. The parts that  I have written in Italics are Sensei’s points. The rest is my reflections and thoughts about what was said.

Keep Calm and Kata On

“You could never do that in a fight!” “It’s an antiquated teaching practice!” “Time would be better spent learning techniques!”

I’ve heard all of these things about kata and, they usually come from people who don’t do kata as part of the martial art.

For those who don’t know, katais the Japanese word for “shape” or “form.” In martial arts, it is prearranged set of movements designed to teach…
