I was watching Nima’s latest video and a few things came to my mind: 1) Use of multiple joints in multiple vectors simultaneously. This is so basic, it’s silly. This should have been obvious from the get go. Moving joints in multiple directions gives you more control and “spikes” your opponent. But only if he …
Here are excerpts I found exceedingly interesting in the book “Mastery Mind-Set” (149171459X). Page 20-21 – Regarding Belts “If your club uses colored belts, know that this tradition only goes back to the 1940s, when Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, standardized a ranking system. This ranking system was later adopted by other arts. If …
There really are no techniques. Anything goes because anything has the chance to work. This being said, there is no need to “formally” learn techniques. Techniques are tricky because they can easily be stolen. All it requires is a visual cue and understanding what is occurring. From there, a person can reverse-engineer what is being …

The line is formed by the constant energy being dictated to go up. It is similar to steam going from one vent, to another, directly above it. You can …

The goal of a punching bag should be to move as naturally as you can while retaining attention on the spine + the center and entering the “flow.” The “flow” is …

The bone alignment concept is a bit tough. I have to chew on it for sometime before I can post results its results and benefits. I have noticed that since I am in a better shape – with the rising, separation of joints, feeling the flow, etc – that I should make note of what …
I started working on a new concept: bone alignment. Think of the skeleton talking, moving – doing everything. Forget the joints, the muscles, the tendons and ligaments. Only focus on the bones. What are you moving? Bones. How are you standing up? Bone structure. I am doing this so that I can relax better and …
I am not having much success getting students. I get inquiries and humor people but no one has been so serious as to come and learn from me. I do not know if it is because of my age, speaking style, ability to communicate information properly or their inability to understand. For whatever reason, the …
