Mixed Martial Arts - The Way Of The Future
Back in the early 1990’s all fighting styles were brought together for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The UFC is a no holds barred competition and fighters representing: Kickboxing – Karate – Boxing – Taekwondo – Jujutsu – Kung Fu – Sumo were all there to prove their style was the best. On that night Jujutsu rained supreme and suddenly the world was woken up to the necessity of grappling & ground fighting. Jujutsu then went on to dominate all Mixed Martial Arts events during the nineties.
After the Jujutsu domination of the nineties, all no holds barred fighters started to learn both the striking & grappling arts. Now the Ultimate Martial Artist was born. A Mixed Martial Artist is not just capable of fighting standing up, they are also capable of fighting in the grappling position and on the floor making them almost impossible to be beaten by a single styled martial artist. Mixed Martial Arts is the ultimate in un-armed combat, it’s not limited by one way and it’s not held back with useless techniques that just don’t work. It’s reality for a real world.
Mixed Martial Arts is the new phenomenon sweeping the world, as it is now a well known fact that fighters who employ a range of striking, grappling and submission tactics are the most successful competitors in Mixed Martial Arts events and on the street.
Tai Jutsu Kai Jujutsu & Submission - The Way Of The Warrior
Forged out of necessity and tempered in the heat of battle.
Born on the battlefields of Japan, Ju-Jutsu is the true Martial Art and was originally developed by the Japanese Samurai as a form of self-defence, which is practised with restraint. Ju-Jutsu techniques utilise skill rather than force. It is the art of gaining victory by yielding. Ju-Jutsu loosely translated means "science of softness" or "gentle art" and is applied to many schools of unarmed and hand-to-hand combat. The soft grappling style was intended to help unarmed soldiers to fight against armed enemies in any way possible, using the least amount of force necessary. Ju-Jutsu was the primary unarmed combat method of the Samurai. Aikido and Judo are both modern day descendents of Ju-Jutsu. Several techniques used are similar to Karate, Aikido and Judo.
Ju-Jutsu emphasizes turning an attacker's own force against him or herself, putting them off balance. Ju-Jutsu also emphasizes certain grappling moves and strikes to vital areas. A Ju-Jutsu student is expected to learn how to gauge the force of an opponent's attack and use it against him, evade attacks, use leverage against an opponent and how to attack nerves and pressure points.
The main goal in Ju-Jutsu practice is to cultivate a person's mind and body: not to use it as a means to vent one's anger, frustration or emotional problems. The use of force is condoned only in self-defence or in the defence of those who are defenceless.
Light, Semi & Full Contact Kickboxing
What is called Kickboxing today came out of Full Contact Karate competitions in the sixties. Competitors included such fighters as Bill Wallace, Joe Lewis and Chuck Norris. Each had different backgrounds in Karate and boxing, as well as other martial arts. New fighting styles, techniques and strategies developed out of the need for a comprehensive form of fighting that was effective in the ring.
Kickboxing is a Western fighting method practiced worldwide with the Kickboxer using both hands and feet, as in Karate. Because it is a realistic, practical method of fighting, it has grown into a popular sport. Kickboxing is similar to Full Contact Karate, as the goal of Kickboxing is to knock out the opponent. Also in Kickboxing, strikes are delivered full force.
Kickboxing combines elements from Karate and Thai Boxing; both the strategy and techniques from kicking and boxing. It mixes foot techniques from Karate and fist techniques from boxing. There are four different types of combat competitions: Semi-Contact, Light-Contact, Full-Contact and Low-Kick. Musical Forms are the fifth style of Kickboxing competition. All these systems are the same worldwide and follow precise rules and regulations.
To minimize the risk of injury during Kickboxing competitions, competitors must wear protection for the feet and head, as well as shin guards, safety gloves, mouth guards, groin guards for men and chest protection for women. Kickboxing competitors use sparring, kicks, punches, kick blocks, shadow boxing, and wood breaking that is learned and applied under professional instruction.
While Kickboxing was first developed as a martial art for tournament fighting, it has more recently become very popular; especially with women, because the Kickboxing workout (Cardio Kickboxing) is excellent for developing body toning and burning fat while also helping students gain confidence in self defence.
TaeKwon-Do - The Art Of High Impact Kickfighting
TaeKwon-Do is a Two Thousand year old Martial Art form that originated in Korea. It is based on the premise that self-defence is an instinct. As a result, the origins of TaeKwon-Do date back to the earliest time of humanity.
Taek Kyon as it was first known, was a sports and recreational activity designed to promote Physical Fitness. It then changed to become a fighting art and became known as Subak.
In 1955 it gained the name of TaeKwon-Do (Foot, Fist, Art) by Grand Master General Choi Hong Hi, who is the founder of modern day TaeKwon-Do.
TaeKwon-Do is a traditional Martial Art form and is well known for its high impact kicking techniques and its power. TaeKwon-Do is a striking art, so this style is ideal for everyone regardless of age, or gender. TaeKwon-Do will improve your speed, flexibility, power, strength, breathing, awareness and self-discipline.
TaeKwon-Do also has a competition format that is semi contact and only allows kicking and punching techniques.
