  • Tip 74, Make your movements a little chaotic

    04/09/2016 Duration: 04min

    When most people set up their sparring posture and start to move whilst facing an opponent quite often the movement is subdued. My suggestion is to make it a tad chaotic this can help hide any footwork that you want to use to set up a technique. Have a listen and I'll try and explain it better.

  • Tip 73. The Rolling Punch

    24/07/2016 Duration: 03min

    The Rolling punch or should I say my Rolling punch, this technique is a reasonably simple one in its nature however to deliver it properly is a little bit harder. The biggest bonus of this technique is its intimidation factor and its demoralising strike.

  • Tip 69, Full switch half switch.

    27/05/2016 Duration: 07min

    Many times when I see fighters competing they are constantly changing stands from left foot forward to right foot forward, in other words, they're switching stands. There certainly is a time to this and it can be very useful. But consider using a half switch rather than a full switch or not even switching at all. Today's episode is about when, where and how to switch stance so you don't have a downside on a switch.

  • Tip 67. The ghost punch!

    14/05/2016 Duration: 04min

    I thought it was about time to explain another tournament fighting at technique. This is called the ghost punch. The basics of the technique is a stance switch followed by a distraction and then a reverse lunge punch. It is cool technique and it appears that punch comes out of nowhere thus the name ghost punch.

  • Tip 66, Does competition fighting help in real-life situations?

    09/05/2016 Duration: 08min

    Because competition fighting is a totally controlled environment. Many martial artist believe that it doesn't help in real-life scenarios. Anyone that has listened to my podcasts would know my view on this. But I thought it was time to make 100% clear. Iain Abernethy , recently discussed in his podcast the fact that tournament fighting of any type isn't realistic to real-life situations because of the band methods that rules in force. I am inclined to agree with him. However, there are positives to tournament fighting in relation to real-life combat.

    01/05/2016 Duration: 11min

  • Tip 63. What is the best style for competitions?

    17/04/2016 Duration: 09min

    With so many different competitions and ways of fighting with many and various styles, It can be very difficult to choose a system to follow. Unfortunately, martial arts can be a very ego driven sport. In other words, many people think what they do is better than someone else and their system is always the best and everyone else's systems and styles are rubbish. I don't believe it for a second, so I thought I'd give you my views on just how I think on this subject.

    14/11/2015 Duration: 08min

    When a student completes in martial arts competitions is imperative that someone is in their corner helping them to achieve their goals. This is the coaches job. But sitting on the sidelines screaming out commands is only a part of it. Coaches have other duties as well. Here are my thoughts on it.

  • Tip 58. Getting bad advice or training.

    24/08/2015 Duration: 11min

    As anyone goes through their martial arts career you will no doubt get either bad advice or bad training methods taught to you from some instructors. It would be great to say that every teacher knows what they're talking about. Well, unfortunately this is not the case. There are as many training methods and ways to teach as there are teachers and sorting out the rubbish from the gold is no easy task especially when new students are involved. Most martial arts schools usually give a free lesson to try their school out but sometimes you need more than just one lesson the experience good and the bad instructors teach school. I think just about all martial art school work on a hierarchy system, that is to say that rank is the most important thing in most organisations. I don't think this is a bad thing, however, just because a teacher has high belt grading doesn't make them a great teacher. Certainly I high belt grade does represent more knowledge and a perceived level of skill. Over the years in martial arts

  • Tip 57. How not to get sick of training

    24/07/2015 Duration: 14min

    This is something every student goes through multiple times in their careers. Even I, as high ranking black belt is still go through this problem. Training can get boring, and the more reparative training is the more boring it gets. So today's tip is about how to maintain that passion so you can continue your martial arts career for as long as you want or are able.
