Posted under Martial Arts Stretchingwhen doing stretching for martial arts?
Posted by admin on July 10, 2010
what is stretching ?the muscles , the tendons , the ligaments
or all 3??
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretching
Stretching involves muscles. Different stretches involve different muscles. In my karate class for example we do push ups, crunchs, leg lifts, leg stretches, splits, etc… Before starting the "actual karate"

-How long does it take a K.Oed dude to wake up after getting knocked out…?
-Is jaw the most sensitive part when it comes to knock-out’ing someone(muscled, fat, thin,etc)?
-How fast and heavy should my fist when it strikes the jaw so that i can knock out?
-What can i do to make my punches and kicks stronger?
-important stretches so that i can avoid injury during fight?
-what type of punch is the most effective for KO? straight? hook? uppercat?
I just wanna be prepared because anytime anywhere i can get into fight and i dont want
that someone will get heavily damaged, got sliced or something….
1. In this case there is no real single answer. A lot of it depends on the power in the strike causing the knockout, as well as the brain chemistry and even skull density of the recipient.
2. The jaw itself is not the point that is weak. There is a nerve cluster within the face on the inside of the mandible(lower jaw)that connects directly to the cerebral cortex. Shocking this nerve cluster causing unconsciousness. The most effective way to strike this nerve cluster is with a punch to the jaw.
3. Speed and power are both the product of proper technique, balance, and conditioning.
4. Technique building and conditioning of the muscles is the best way to develop more effective striking.
5. Well, if this is a sactioned match, then I would recommend splits, chinese splits, as well as any other stretch working the pelvis/legs. Stretching the shoulders/neck/back are important as well. If its not sanctioned, stretching is pointless, rely on techniques that work without it.
6. Anything that lands flush can KO an opponent. I’ve seen jabs KO before. Strike for the jaw for an almost guaranteed KO agains t an average Joe. Prepare to have to hit it multiple times against a trained fighter.
On the whole, most Martial Arts can give you what you are looking for here. Train smart and hard, with your plan for your training in hand and you’ll be as skilled as you want to be in no time! Good Luck.

Posted under Martial Arts StretchingHow To Improve Flexibility for Martial Arts by Stretching by Black Belt World Champion John Graden
Posted by admin on June 24, 2010
http://www.MartialArtsTeachers.com http://www.MartialArtsSchoolOwners.com http://www.JohnGraden.com
“Hi, everybody. I’m John Graden for the Martial Arts Teachers Association. Boy, I tell you what, when it comes to martial arts, there is an area of a lot of misinformation that has to do with stretching. Number one, first off, this is the twenty-first century. Regardless if you are doing tae kwon do, karate, kickboxing, mma, kenpo or any other striking art, a lot of the stretches we inherited go back decades and we know a lot better now about how to stretch. Number one, martial arts stretching is part of the workout and cool down. It’s not part of the warm up. The warm up is meant to get the big muscles warm, blood flowing so then when we do stretch and kick, we don’t pull a muscle and damage ourselves. So, stretching typically, is most effective at the end of class when the muscles are really tired and not resisting. Second thing, here’s some of the stretches that I was raised with, and I certainly hope you’re not doing it at your school. We would do things like the high foreleg raise and you’d swing your leg up and it was very easy to blow out a hamstring. We did the high side leg raise and we’d raise our legs this way and it was just archaic, ancient stretching. So, we’ve done a lot of research and here are some stretches that we know work for martial arts. This is a simple routine that I like to do with my students. I start in a horse stance and I’m going to take my forearms, push them against my knee. I’m trying to get my hips just to open up and relax right now. I might do some dynamic stretching, which is not bouncing like ballistic. That would be real hard. Very simple motions. Then from here, my hands go to the ground and I’m going to go and turn sideways for this, so I don’t lean on the microphone, into a mini split. I’m just going to rock back and forth. Again, I’m opening my hips. I want a straight line between my knee, my rear end and my other knee. I’m not sitting back. I’m not sitting forward, but I can kind of rock a little bit. Next, from this position, I extend a side kick and then I roll into the side kick. Again, keeping a straight line from the knee, over the hips into the leg. I’m rolling into my side kick. Then, I go back to my mini split. And then, I’ll do the other leg. And then, with my advanced students, we would push into a full split, using the arms for support. And the key here is that you will — I’m going to come up now — you will naturally guard against the stretch. What does that mean? When you feel the discomfort of the stretch, your body instinctively tightens up a little bit. You’ve got to mentally override that and relax. You have to mentally override that and, what I call, receive the stretch. So, those are some great ideas for martial arts stretching. I’m John Graden for the Martial Arts Teachers Association. Thanks.”

In the DVD volume 7 Boris provides a detailed verbal explanation followed by on screen caption commentaries at the time of demonstration on how to perform necessary warm up routine, including dynamic movements in vertical and a horizontal positions, on most body regions, post isometric relaxation techniques, appropriate exercises and more. This DVD is designed as a home study educational program and contains theoretical as well as practical parts. It’s easy to study and you can use offered techniques immediately.
Note that jogging and stretching alone is by far not enough for warm-up. Such routine can lead you to injury. If light jog and stretch describes your warm-up routine, you should learn from this volume# 7 DVD. Presented techniques and exercises will contribute significantly to neuromuscular reeducation (eliminations of compensatory movement and restoration of normal neuromuscular assembly work), which will help you to prevent sports related injuries as well to perform better in your sports discipline weather it is football, baseball, basketball, Olympic sports, martial arts or any other sport.

Posted under Martial Arts StretchingWhat’s the best type of martial arts for a 15 year old?
Posted by admin on May 22, 2010
I don’t want 5 year old kid karate BS where all they do is stretch your muscles,
I want a really effective martial arts that can actually help me defend myself.
There is no term as best type of Martial Arts, style didn’t limit if how young or old is the person, it’s about the quality of techniques taught by the qualified Instructors and his willingness to learn to achieve his main objectives on doing it.
Better look for the legit dojo around your place, ask necessary questions to relieve your main concern, observe which style you like most that fit your personality then choose and decide.
Good luck

Posted under Martial Arts StretchingMartial Arts questions for fighting and fitness.?
Posted by admin on May 5, 2010
Alright, so I’m 18 years old and will turn 19 in the summer. I’m in very good physical condition (I work out frequently and eat very healthy). Unfortunately, I’ve never done any martial arts and my flexibility is terrible. This is partly due to the fact that I grew up as a fat child and hated stretching…I was never really flexible.
In order for me to stretch, I need someone to make me do it. I am considering going to a martial arts school for my summer vacation while I’m away from college to get into better shape. At first I was thinking only about flexibility, but I don’t want to spend money to stretch and do a bunch of work without learning how to defend myself.
I live in Weehawken, NJ (northern NJ) which doesn’t leave me with too many options besides Taekwondo. I don’t want to learn TKD, however, because from what I’ve seen and what my father (blackbelt in TKD) has told me, many schools focus more on point sparring than actually teaching how to fight. I don’t want to learn TKD for this reason.
My other options seem to be Kickboxing, Aikido, Shao-Dang Tao (which I’m guessing is a kind of Kung Fu), and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I always wanted to learn BJJ, but I’m not sure if grappling martial arts focus much on stretching. Kickboxing most likely puts a large emphasis on stretching, but from what I’ve seen, it seems like many kickboxing schools put more emphasis on exercise and weight loss than teaching self defense. I honestly don’t know much about Aikido or Shao-Dang Tao, so any input on those would be great.
So basically, assuming equal convenience between all these martial arts, which one should I choose for better flexibility, fitness and self defense? I know it all depends on the instructors, schools, etc. and not as much on the martial art, but I do know that there are certain standards when it comes to training.
Please help me out! If I didn’t make my point clear earlier, I really don’t want to choose a Taekwondo school, so please don’t suggest that. Also, please don’t answer if you have no martial arts background.
Thanks,
Gerard
Flexibility is very important to avoid injury in any activity. BJJ requires flexibility to move around and execute submissions. Eddie Bravo’s 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu system places a high degree of emphasis on stretching as many of his techniques just aren’t possible if you aren’t flexible.
Keep researching the schools in your area. Don’t worry about your physical state, a good school will train you to develop the qualities needed. Good Luck.
