Life today is riddled with fear. We`re being scared by everyone. Turn on the TV and you are surrounded by horrors. Go online and get a load of new nightmares. Visit your local bank or store and you hear the same topics on everyone’s lips: the financial crisis, rising crime, inflation, taxes, social instability, skyrocketing prices, high unemployment, etc. Even the most optimistic person would have difficulty remaining untouched by these seeds of unrest and worries which can’t help but taint our mood and create negative thoughts. Yet, it wasn’t always like this! Just a century ago, it was not uncommon...

Tibi is learning from master Vladimir Vasiliev 1. Relax The best breathing is relaxed. Tension restricts your breathing and other movements. To feel the force you should be relaxed.

The mind is much slower than the body’s instincts and the mind makes a lot of mistakes. It’s not good if the mind overrides the instinct.

The centre of gravity vs the centre of buoyancy in martial arts by Jacob D. Biamonte I’m about to explain the ‘principle of uniform pressure’. But first, I need to talk about something else first. The centre of buoyancy (CoB) is the average mass of an object. Whereas the centre of gravity (CoG) is the average effect gravity has on the object. So if I were to attach a bunch of styrofoam to my chest, my CoG would change very little but my CoB would change considerably more. The opposite would ring true if I replaced the styrofoam with a lead weight. Why is this relevant? Well, your CoG is the thing...

The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. Law of energy efficiency: “Use as little force as possible” leads a Martial Artist to flow smoothly & move lightly like dancers (of course that Martial Artists need to be sharper, more dynamic & are probably in different state of mind.). Then, the Martial Artist create movements spontaneously as a proper artist. In the fight a Martial Artist often uses the right brain’s hemisphere (the holistic & creative; the left one is more linear). Bruce Lee calls it ’empty mind‘ or we also say: ‘going...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] ”The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail.” Lao Tzu What’s different about Conor McGregor? In a time, when most MMA fighters believe that hard tension guarantees a destructive strike, he does the opposite - he relaxes himself and uses a flowing body... Conor McGregor “Spaghetti Arms” Old fashion ‘hard’ stylists are probably laughing at his weird  “spaghetti arms” movements..  They believe in solid construction, they don’t understand the benefits of the bodywave.
