Time?

The
Fluid Motion Of The Snake Lends Itself To Kung Fu
I’ve been doing snake style Kung Fu for going on 8 years now. Once
I moved into Kung Fu styles, snake was the first one I picked up,
because of its similarities to jiu jutsu. Like jiu jutsu, snake
style kung fu is all about transmitting core body strength from
the abdomen to the arms, and uses a lot of joint locks and grapples.
Unlike jiu jutsu, it uses a more open stance, and tries for greater
fluidity in motion, with more arm strikes and kicks...

I learned more about this concept in Joe Hyams' book, "Zen in the
Martial Arts." The quote comes from a story Bruce Lee was relating
to Mr. Hyams where a master was trying to make a point to an...

Instructional
Fighting Videos for Self Defense
I’ve spent a number of years studying self-defense and I still
find myself fascinated by the martial arts. It all started when
I was a teenager and I was watching a demonstration where an elderly
man was up against two large bodybuilders in their mid 20s. These
two young men took turns attacking the old man, but he just kept
throwing them around the stage like a couple of rag dolls...

Way of Quan -
Tao of Martial Art
We assert that there is a core essence of movement and style that
everyone already has ready within them. Everybody already knows
all of the moves. Just as a baby naturally has the ability to walk
already contained within its potential, so all of the knowledge
of how to use martial arts is contained within each and every person.

as a possibility within their body before they learned them - they
were already part of the host of movements that their bodies were
potentially capable of performing...

Reputations and
Expectations
*Reputations* in martial arts are a game of mythology. There is
really only one way to know how good someone is at martial arts
- seeing is believing. And by this we do not mean seeing someone
have a light spar, or training forms or one steps - we mean actually
having a fight, a real fight, with someone who wants to beat them
up (or at the very least a tournament bout.) Until that happens,
you can't ever really be sure that any person, master or otherwise...
