https://thisyearinmartialarts.wordpress.com/2011/09/30/tension-in-training
This Year in Martial Arts. Practice, Philosophy, and History of the Fighting Arts. September 30, 2011 in competition. Recently I’ve been spending more time working on one aspect of martial arts that has nothing to do with technique or conditioning (although I’m working on those things too of course), and an aspect that I’m coming to see is of enormous importance.

A Short and Instructive Match: Blocking, Headhunting, and the Mind | This Year in Martial Arts
https://thisyearinmartialarts.wordpress.com/2011/04/28/a-short-and-instructive-match-blocking-headhunting-and-the-mind
This Year in Martial Arts. Practice, Philosophy, and History of the Fighting Arts. A Short and Instructive Match: Blocking, Headhunting, and the Mind. April 28, 2011 in Uncategorized. I have two general comments on this video:. 1) this is why you block. In the TKD sparring I’ve seen, blocks are way underutilized, as are arms in general. It sometimes seems like they’re not there! 2) to headhunt or not to headhunt? Ok, three comments. Diary of a Martial Artist. Parents and Black Belts. Taiji in the Park.

This Year in Martial Arts. Practice, Philosophy, and History of the Fighting Arts. Trail Running and Martial Arts Conditioning. June 25, 2011 in training. Basically, conditioning is awesome. So my goal is to train hard, and train often. Approach to conditioning. Lifting weights, for example, will help us to get stronger, but why not think of other aspects of our development that can be aided by lifting in certain ways? If we approach lifting holistically, we can find ways to lift such that our endurance,...

A thought I’ve had recently is that the tension connected with sparring or competing in general migh...
