Most of my ezines are ranked high in the search engines thanks to your links and promotion of the martial arts. You can end up with up to four martial arts ezine ads for the price of one ad. At the minimum you will end up with two martial arts ezine ads for the price of one ad.

Remember, at least half of your martial art students, customers, and potential martial arts students and customers have internet access.
Place the web site address on business cards and flyers of web sites in which you have written martial arts articles. Being published by a world wide martial arts electronic magazine will give you even more credibility.
How do we keep this Martial Arts Ezine going and expand it even further?
With your help. If you would forward this
to your martial art friends, I'm sure they would appreciate it. Be sure to enclose a note to them so they know I am not spamming them.
The idea of reading articles, and getting opinions from martial artists all over the world is still amazing.

Does kata (forms) help you with self-defense? Your Answer
yes I believe they do -once you truly understand them-not just do them. they can often give you new insights on your art and can often lead to a sharper and clearer mind-making the warrior within that bit more tempered and refined, after all combat is fought on more than one plane.
kind regards,
Carl
****************************
Does Kata help with self defence... You KNOW that's gonna spark debate;
here's my part of the fuel for the fire Bottom line? Yes... sort of... Kata are a definite asset to training; they help with form and bring familiarity to the various techniques.
They also, unfortunately, breed habit with specific responses towards some actions. I believe that if a student is learning a Martial Art, Kata are a must (if included in the specific art).. If a student is strictly learning self defence, they should likely stay away from hard-set forms and concentrate more on confidence with a few select techniques. This is said with the premise that self defence is a specific end as opposed to a devotion to training.
Philippe
*******************
Kata adds to the art in the martial arts. It adds nothing to self-defense ability other than a broken jaw from chamber punching and not keeping your hands up.
Tom
*******************
Since Kata are DESIGNED to teach you self defense techniques against being grabbed which do not require strength they are in fact the primary tool for self defense. This of course means understanding the pressure point applications implied in the technique. (No the move do not need to be modified for the street...they work exactly as they were intended to ... on the street!)

***************************
Okay, Ricky...I'll play:
The question was: Does kata (forms) help you with self-defense?
If YOUR kata is GOOD kata...Yes! If your particular style has developed, and evolved into something that "works" - it obviously has to have a basis in the kata that was developed to teach it. However, responsible Sensei (Sifu, Guro, Shihan, etc.) do not often teach students the defining movements that make a kata "work" until the 1st dan groundwork has been completed. So much of kata today is probably "close" in the relative motions necessary to practice a kata in it's entirety...but, lacking in the actual physiological dynamics that created them in the first place. Some karateka NEVER learn those dynamics from their Sensei. (And don't know it..) If your style's kata is properly transferred from teacher to student (and of course, those forms really do "work"), then the kata itself can teach the necesary dynamic(s) to you. form follows function, follows form...
Mg
************************
Kata is your self defense. But only if kata techniques are understood for what they really are. Take almost everyone's first kata (with all the down block & punches). If this is interpreted as a down block and punch, it doesn't do much for you. But if you look deeper at the down block movement it has powerful self defense application. When the arm comes up and toward you for the "fold", this could easily be your first response to an attacker grabbing your wrist. You would strike his arm at the elbow coming back towards the wrist. This will activate a pressure point called Lung-5 that will cause the knees to buckle. Your opponent's head will be in position to deliver the "block" portion of the move. If kata is interpreted using "traditional" methods, its self-defense value is limited at best. In kata a punch is not always a punch, FREE YOUR MINDS!!! Scott
**************************
if anotherstyle awarded belt of differrencess to the individual and staying in practice is a belief . beleive it.
************************
RK, here's some possible questions to throw out to all...(you can change them a little, if my meanings are unclear):
Is YOUR art a "technique" art, or a "form" art? What's the difference between the two? Which should I practice more of, technique or form?

Can a good street fighter beat a black belt? Your Answer
Anytime, any day.
Bill
********************
It depends on whether the stress on the style is tournaments or combat.
John
************************
It totally depends on the type of black belt the person is. If they were trained in the traditional, full contact old styles of the arts, then probably not. It also depends on whether the street fighter is trained, or if they attack the bb from behind. I have witnessed many a black belt loose a street fight because of these factors: 1. They are a point fighter. 2. They trained at one of those "Anyone can be a black belt schools." 3. They were jumped from behind and hit with a club or pipe. 4. The street fighter was a well trained Martial Artist or boxer. 5. The black belt just plain sucked. 6. The black belt was from a Tae Kwon Do "Super Mall" school (one that teaches for money). 7. And lastly, the black belt didn't have chance because he was drunk or stupid. After working security for many years in bars, I have one thing to add to this question...could a street fighter beat a qualified, well trained black belt in an actual front to front face? The answer would probably be no, but remember that no matter how tough you are, there is always someone tougher. Sincerely: Shihan S Franz, 6th Dan Black Belt Aiki-Te Ryu Karate Do*****************
Yes, having a black belt means a lot, but I have read and heard of schools that give a black belt too soon in a students martial arts career. Having a black belt doesn't neccesarily mean you are invincible, but if you have had the right training and have practiced it would definatley improve your odds.

Can a good street fighter beat a black belt ???
My answer is, that's a great possibility.
Black belt don't guarantee a man to be able to beat up street fighter. It depends heavily on our continuous training, reflexes, and senses. I don't know about the condition in America, but here in Indonesia, we can't underestimated street fighters. Here, many black belt people being beat up by street fighters.
I've seen some persons who takes Kempo classes ( three black belt persons ) being beat up by a single lonely street fighter, and then those Kempo black belts went down unsconcious with only a fast single slap to their face
********************
Black Belt-ers, If you think that you can beat up street fighters, then try Indonesia's street fighters. You have to think more than twice to face them !!!!! Even if you had a gun ....!!!!!!!!
*******************
I believe so in some cases. And in others no . In the dojo there are rules such as no groin shots and unwritten rules such as don't hit to hard. However , on the street there are no rules. In the dojo they may throw at you a combo such as a high kick followed by a chest punch. There you are fighting someone you are acquainted with on relatively good terms and fighting the same style. On the street there is no combo. Once they start moving in on you they don't let up for any reason and unfortunately there is no sensei to stop it.
Justin
*******************
A good street fighter can beat a porley trained black belt. The black belts at our dojo and ascosiation go through a very tough test. They only test once a year and it is because it is the only time all of the committy can be at the one place. Adam
********************
It depends on what training the black belt has had. One style is better then the other from what I have seen. As in one is more effective then the other. Also, streetfighters that I have seen never use rules, they get you with cheap shots, use wepons etc. I have never seen a street fighter fight with honor. But also, I have only seen once that a street fighter won from a black belt. Remember that there are many schools out there that give students lessons for just the money. Or give them a black belt when they are noth worthy of it. It also depends on if the streetfighter had some trainig in a dojo before he wnet to street fighting. I know of one, and he is very good. I know a lot of indonesians who are street fighters, yet I haven't ever seen one beat up a kick boxer. (reply to someone elses mail) So I think the number of fights won by street fighters is small when it come to fighting with true worthy balckbelts.
********************
ummmm like noway man........unless the street fighter could use weapons or something man

I AM A 28 YEAR OLD MALE AND VERY MUCH INTO THE MARTIAL ARTS.I AM CURRENTLLY STUDYING KUNG FU.BEFORE THIS FORM I HAD STUDIED NUMEROUS DIFFERNT FORMS OF THE ART.I WENT UP IN BELTS BUT NEVER WENT TO A BLACK BELT LEVEL.ONCE I REACHED A LEVEL BEFORE BLACK BELT IT WAS TIME TO MOVE ON.I WANTED TO STUDY ALL THE BASIC BLOCKS AND STRIKES AND CONBINE THEM INTO MY OWM STYLE.I AM CURRENTLY STAYINY WITH KUNG FU TO REACH A HIGH LEVEL SHOW I CAN BRING MAY STYLE OUT TO THE WORLD.I HAVE BEEN TEACHING MAY STYLE TO A FEW PEOPLE AND IT WORKS.I HAVE SPARED WITH MASTERS AND BEAT THEM.SO LIKE IM SAYING BELTS DO MATTER TO SOME PEOPLE IN THE TEACHING FIELD,,BUT TO ME THEY JUST HOLD UP YOUR PANTS TO ME.JUST BECAUSE YOUYOU HAVE A HIGH RANK DOESNT MEAN YOUR THE MAN.ONCE I REACH MASTER LEVEL IN KUNG FU WHICH IS NEXT YEAR KEEP YOUR EARS OPEN FOR FREESTYLE STREET SURVIAL.
THANK YOU
JOHN
********************
Yes! Real street fighters,not wannebes taught in a studio,can and will beat a blackbelt trained properly or not . They do not have homes,or have something to eat everynight,or wear clean clothes. They survive any way, any how against all "arts",one rule they follow NONE,use anything that is around them as a weapon. Only way a blackbelt learns to avoid being beaten up is: Know your area(surroundings) No dark alleys If you're going to drink stay with friends who you trust Do not brag about your rank,they do not care Watch actual fights on the street,not on television, you will not see perfect techniques. Okay I rambled on,this gets me everytime,
Sensei Paul

A subscriber has written in and was wondering what martial arts exercises he can do to help lose weight? Your Response
There is a fun little exercise that really gets the blood going.. it's called a prostration.. You stand straight, hands above your head... then you lie down on your stomach, hands extended in front of you.. then you stand up straight, hands above your head.. that's one. do as many as you like/can.. usually, if you hurry, the average guy will get winded after 10 to 15.. standard Martial Artist, about double.. try doing 50 a day, whatever the pace.. you will loose weight guaranteed..

Concerning The Myths of Internal Energy Strikes
Great article Rick. I have included much of the same type of information in my book on Rekibo. We call it body mechanics, it simply means the understanding of the human body and how it actually works. I have had the opportunity to try to explain to many martial artists why thouse incredibly tense reverse punches lose power on each consecutive strike. Also while I am writing this would you be interested in an article on Rekibo weaponscraft, if you are I will take a chapter out of my book and condense it for you. Have a good year my friend, Pablo
************************
I agree with you completely except on one point. it is possible to be able to throw an "internal energy" strike while falling forward. It takes considerable practice and the ability to relax your natural tendency to tighten during a fall ...but have been able to teach this technique to SOME upper Dan levels ...unfortunately not to those uncomfortable with falling regardless of their rank
Bruce
PS thank you for your article! it is nice to see other professionals willing to take a stand on such mysticism
************************
Hi Now WHY did you go and start that one... All right; let's go So you've never seen an energy strike with the 'eastern misticism' stuff.. for you it's all mechanics.. good for you. Glad that works for you. You're wrong, but if you're happy, then that's all that matters. I have seen energy strikes.. I have FELT energy strikes.. None of this 'turning your fingers blue with the power of...' or anything; an actual, honest to goodness 'not touching me but still knocking me back' energy strike. You've got a background in physiology. great; hope it helps in all sorts of ways. Don't let yourself be restricted, however, by the belief that what you know is all there is to know. If you do, then no matter who you are or what you're talking about, you're wrong; plain and simple. If you choose not to believe in 'eastern approach' energy strikes, then I'm not going to try to talk you into believing. To assume that it's impossible because you don't know how or can't back it up scientifically is the height of arrogance. It's also something that as a teacher and a Black Belt, you should not be closing your mind about. To state your opinion is one thing. What you have done is state your belief as a fact. ...and you're wrong. Philippe
Note from Sensei Kirkham:
I always look forward to learning more and presenting different views. If anyone wishes to turn in an article on this I would happily publish it

Martial Arts Sensitivity Drills Seeing Without Sight Location sensitivity martial arts drills is probably one of the strangest things I teach and very effective. How do location sensitivity martial arts drills work? This is about the only time you'll hear me speak anything close to mysticism, although it's not actually. Those of you who read my article shooting down the mysticism of internal energy strikes will probably wonder where I am coming from in this martial arts article. Our bodies run off of electricity. Electricity is a form of energy. Energy cannot be destroyed. The energy used to run our bodies and make them work, know to western science as bio-energy, eastern philosophers as ki and chi, emanates from our bodies. This gives a possible explanation of our ability to sense when we are being followed, when someone is staring at us, the tickle at the back of your neck is an example of a physiological response to this sensation. Any of our senses, can be strengthened by use. This ability can be negated by physical limitations such as a hearing impairment, or a vision impairment, which would hinder such a development due to physical damage, but even with those limitations, you can learn to use what you have to the best of your ability. A blind person's hearing for example is not amplified, the blind person simply learns to use his or her hearing to the best of his or her ability. The question now becomes, what is Sensei Kirkham talking about and when will he get to the point? The other question is can we become more sensitive to what is basically an electrical field. When you turn off your computer, you feel a difference in the electric field. One can also learn to sense, or actually become more sensitive to, a difference in the electric field emanating from a person's body. Distance Drill Have your partner stand at a specified distance from you, usually across an average size room. Go into a meditative or relaxed state. The worse thing you can do on this distance sensitivity drill is try to sense your partner. You must allow yourself to sense your partner pacifically without actively concentrating on your partner. If you had to do that what would be the point anyway? Close your eyes, empty your mind. When your partner looks as though you are ready he or she will begin to walk toward you quietly. Be sure to keep your partner from creating noise walking or shadows you may notice even with your eyes closed. Keep your mind empty, when you feel a pressure, or your sight darkens even with your eyes closed, or whatever physical changes take place for you personally, open your eyes and see if your partner moved and how close he or she got before you sensed your partner. Repeat this until you become fatigued or jittery. It is better for you to preform a number of repetitions then change places with your partner so that you do not have continuously leave your meditative state. Make sure your partner does not set up a pattern of beginning to walk toward you at certain intervals or you will react to that pattern not your sense of presence or to his or her electrical field however you prefer to think of this sense. Do this from the side and from behind also. You could turn to look at your partner or raise your hand as a signal that you sense your partners presence. If your back is turned toward your partner leave your eyes open as that is also a different sensation and more realistic. Blocking Drill. I still remember when I first started boxing. I got my back turned toward my opponent on the ropes,. I felt a pressure and ducked as I felt the wind of a huge hay-maker go over my head. I won that match, thanks partially to my sense of presence or in this case sense of danger. Blocking Drill Procedure Face your partner and close your eyes. Empty your mind and relax your body as you did for the previous drill. Follow the same procedure as to shadows in the previous drill. Your partner slowly begins reaching out to touch your body or head. If you feel a pressure or whatever it s you sense toward a body part, execute a slow block. Flailing hands and closed eyes are not very safe. As your sense of awareness increases you may naturally speed up in a cautious, safe manner. Even if your partner touches you react with a slow block. Again do not try to sense proximity, let it happen. Make sure your partner does not set up any kind of recognizable pattern you may subconsciously recognize. Don't fool around, trust is very important in this drill. Conclusion Sensitivity drills were practiced successfully by myself and a blind student. Before the blind student left for personal reasons, he was blocking at a medium speed by incorporating his increased sensitivity to his partners electrical field. There is no reason normal sighted inviduals cannot beneifit, as I did myself, from these proximity drills. I am presently working on an ebook on methods and drills for internal energy strikes and sensitivity drills. If you are looking for mysticism do not buy my book, you will get facts, drills and how to's in my internal energy book in plain language. I have one section of my meditation ebook already including internal energy strikes. Those of you who would be interested in my book on internal energy strikes or advertising in my ebook on internal energy strikes please let me know. Sensei J. Richard Kirkham Sensei J.
