Five Steps to Victory

The martial art of Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) is based on the ‘13 Postures’. Despite what many believe, these ‘postures’ are not 13 prototype fighting techniques – the term refers to 8 methods of expressing power (Jin) and 5 footwork methods and strategies. In this article, I will be looking into the 5 footwork methods, and how their strategy is to be applied against an opponent.

The "Gathering of Eagles"

Two weeks or so ago, I was invited to the Tracy Brothers' Gathering of Eagles in Las Vegas, NV. Some of the people there I hadn't seen in almost 35 years. Most everyone there was good natured, friendly to other styles, and open to all ideas. The convention lasted 4 days.

Sensei Sez (Simon Says)

Another martial arts game to be used in class.

Sounds fun indeed. I've played a similar game. The one I'm used to playing (we call it horse??? don't ask why) is the first person in the line does a movement, maybe two. The second person has to go and do the exact same movement, and then add his own. The third person has to do them both and then his own. The fourth, fifth......and so on. All the movements has to flow from one to the next. It sucks for the last person, because they have to remember all the movements and finish with a unique one of their own. The game is over when the first person messes up. For that person, you can find a unique way to punish them if you like :D Anyone ever tried that one?

Martial Arts academic research

Let me start by making an important statement: This article concerns YOU. More than that, it has been written for you, the practicing martial artist. The person who trains hard once or twice a week, and thinks that what they are doing is good for health, fitness, self defence and competition, but doesn’t really matter beyond that. Well, let me tell you that what you do DOES matter. You can help conduct research into the art you practice; you can help to educate others regarding the more obscure aspects of your chosen art and you can help your art to continue to survive and thrive by doing this.

Very interesting and a topic that is lacking in academic research. Will you be putting the research papers up for academic review?
