My wife gave birth to our second child April 30, 2009. There were some complications that have forced my little one to remain in the hospital until Mother’s Day. As a result, I am shuffling back and worth to the hospital at all times of day and night. Ironically on May 6th at about 5:30pm my four year old and I were walking to my truck; when an unexpected situation occurred. As we were nearing my vehicle, I hear someone in the distance.

The fact that my little girl was with me really had me on guard and the...

Get Out of Your Way!

In many martial art schools, you'll see a sign that says "leave your ego at the door with your shoes". What this really means is that if you want to be successful in the martial arts, you have to get out of your own way. Most martial arts instructors have experienced those students who enter the dojo bent on self-destruction. They're all excited about training, but their behavior is an obstacle to achieving their goals. In other words, they become their own worst enemy. These students only focus on the physical aspect of the martial arts. They jump into training and are all about the "results". Success in the martial arts is really about the journey. There are mental and spiritual aspects of...

There are a few misconceptions floating around on what makes a good school.

Tips on developing strong leg muscles

type="text/javascript"> Having strong back and leg muscles is crucial for having a proportionate and balanced body. Health experts say that the lower half of your body bears almost 50 percent of the total muscle mass. But, how much time do you actually spend on leg exercises? From my experience so far, I’ve noticed that most gym goers perform leg exercises occasionally. They have a common opinion that only the upper body is important and they can do away with leg exercises by wearing long shorts. However, the importance of having a proportionate body cannot be overstressed. Just imagine how you would look if you had a broad chest and strong arms and sparrow legs. Muscle building in the upper...

While the execution of the Knife Hand and Ridge Hand Strikes is not terribly common outside of the realm of traditional martial arts, the conditioning for those strikes to a breaking-caliber level is what's important for all fighters, as the collateral parts of the hand will often find themselves engaged, in both offensive and defensive postures, during the heat of battle. The Knife Hand Strike is most easily recognized by martial artist and layperson alike as the "karate chop," but is known as well by its name in Japanese, the Shuto. The part of the outer ridge of the hand that extends from the base of the little finger down to the wrist is the primary striking area for the chop, and particularly...

Nausea during a strength training workout Many weight lifters experience nausea during exercise. In fact, it's surprisingly common for weight lifters and other strength training devotees to vomit during a workout. There are several factors which contribute to this sort of workout nausea. - Too much food or water in the stomach. Stomach volume is limited, and stomach emptying rates are lower during exercise than at other times. As the old saw says, "Don't swim (or squat) until an hour after eating." - High or maximum heart rate and uncontrolled breathing. Sustained heavy lifting elevates the heart rate and blood pressure. This brings on a "sick to the stomach" feeling. - Bending over during a period...

To do a great right, do a little wrong. Shakespeare I have often thought about whether or not it is possible to integrate the peaceful teachings of the sages with the total destruction that a skilled warrior can render on his enemy. How does the warrior balance the destructive, martial side of his life, with the calm, peace-loving, side which is taught by masters such as Lao Tzu and Jesus? As I have said many times, the warrior is a peace-loving individual. I totally enjoy the wisdom of the elders and try to live according to the teachings of the sages such as Lao Tzu, but how does one integrate teachings such as those found in the Tao Te Ching with what must be done to protect himself and those he...

With origins in Thailand, Muay Thai is a popular sport in many Eastern countries. Surprisingly, it began as a martial art known as Krabi Krabong (a Siamese martial art) in which weapons were used. This is quite unique, considering that in modern Muay Thai, weapons are not used at all. Krabi Krabong students will, however, use similar hand to hand combat techniques after they or their opponents have lost their weapons. This can be considered the true origins of Muay Thai. Of course, with all martial arts, time and different generations have an effect on a particular art and it will often evolve or change with the world around them. Krabi Krabong soon morphed into the ancient Muay Boran, a...
