Question by : How to make acrobatics easier?
I have been doing martial arts for 11 years now on and off and currently i’m doing taekwondo . Now, last year during march I sprained and almost broke my ankle by falling down some stairs and once that injury recovered in june I ended up hurting the other foot by landing a wallflip wrong and now my other foot is in a bandage because my heel’s a bit swollen up. It’s august now and it’s barely improved and i thought maybe I should try to see how my acrobatics have held up considering i havn’t trained in months and i’m still feeling a little pain. I try to do some back handsprings and backflips and when i do them i feel this heavyness and soreness as if i weigh much more than i actually do. I have a muscular build , i have a six pack , i am 6 feet tall , and i don’t get why it feels like i have 0 power to perform these moves. I’ve seen fatter and less muscular people in general do double corks and things i could only imagine doing. Is this because i actualy don’t have any lower body strength to do it or am i just struggling because i’ve been training by myself at small distant intervals over the last 8-12 months? please give your opinions below (P.S – do you think that sparring classes and sparring related conditioning would help?)

When you are out of commission because of an injury it takes very little time before you go downhill. I lost muscle (not to mention skill) after one month recovering from an injury.
Good news you will regain a little quicker than if you started from scratch but you really have to train again and whip yourself back into shape. The more time you spend out the longer to regain.

Question by Dylan Forster: Is ‘Street Fighting Uncaged’ any good?
I had been boxing for about 18 months, training casually rather than for competition, and then I became really interested in the UFC.

I began to train in Muay Thai and then added Guerrilla Jiu Jitsu and Dirty Boxing to my repertoire.

I am interested in studying many other forms of martial art, and was recommended Krav Maga, however I noticed a lot of the hand to hand methods shown are derived from other forms of martial arts, so while I was very impressed with this combat system, I am not really interested in learning Krav Maga, as I enjoy studying martial arts individually that I could bring to my MMA.

I am however interested in the survival element in Krav Maga. I live in a rough city where most people don’t bother fighting unless there high on something, or would rather stab or shoot each other instead. And while I am confident in my abilities as a mixed martial artist, in a street fighting scenario I am not convinced that my legitimate fighting methods would be adequate to defend myself.

I am not looking to cause a fight but I have noticed that having to defend yourself is often inevitable. An when the time comes, I would like to be able to defend myself and not have to worry about being out of my comfort zone (The Octagon!).

I found this online course called ‘Street Fighting Uncaged’ which is supposed to demonstrate effective ways of defending yourself in a street fighting scenario. But the course is not free and I am not convinced by the reviews I have read online as I cannot tell if they are being biased or if it is Just genuinely effective.

Can anyone who has seen this same plan tell me if it is really useful for someone like me or not?

Thanks in advance.

Answer by kel c
i noticed you don’t have any answers yet so i will try my best to help. i havnt heard of this street fighting thing but i do know alot about taekwondo, mma, karate, and juijitsue. i highly recommend checking out different schools near you and studying how they work. watch how they teach and what they teach, because your very right you cannot just limit your self to only kicks or only hand to hand combat if you want the advantage in a fight. you have to be prepared for ANY situation at ANY given time. i know alot of taekwondo places focus on kicks but in my school we do alot of punching and hand techniques. just remember that all schools are different so dont judge a style of martial arts just by watching a school or two. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer by kibotoyuki
In my opinion, coming from a traditional (as in when-karate-was-first-created traditional) karate practitioner’s point of view… no, not really. Especially all the “6 dan” and “1 dan” in this and that. It’s hard enough getting to 1 dan in just one style.

edit: oh sure, just down-vote me because I said I practice traditional karate. (-_-; )

Question by Jesus: Did aztec warriors train martial arts? If so, what was/were they called?
“Calpolli
The calpolli (from Nahuatl calpōlli meaning “big house”) was a political unit composed of several interrelated family groups. The exact nature of the calpolli is not completely understood and it has been variously described as a kind of clan, a town, a ward, a parish or an agriculture based cooperative.[7]. In Nahuatl another word for calpolli was tlaxilacalli – “a partition of houses”.”

The calpolli was centered around the local chief (calpōleh), to whom its members were normally related and he provided the calpolli members with lands for cultivation (calpōllālli) or with access to non-agricultural occupations in exchange for tribute and loyalty. [8]

The calpolli also ran a temple where the adoration of the deity of the calpolli was performed and a school called the Telpochcalli where young men were trained, mostly in martial arts. In some Aztec citystates calpollis were specialised in a trade, which was practiced by all of its members, and these calpollis functioned something like a medieval trade guild. This was the case in Otompan[9] and in Texcoco and Tlatelolco.[10] Other calpollis were composed of immigrant groups from other areas of Mesoamerica who settled together in a tightly knit community when they arrived in their new home city – for example there is evidence that Tenochtitlan had calpollis composed of Otomis, Mixtecs and Tlapanecs.[11]

Answer by Shannon
It is not known if the Aztecs had some martial art of their own that warriors practiced, but it is certain that they trained extensively in the military arts. Their military style was less ritualized than their neighbors and this business-like approach to warfare allowed them to conquer other tribes easily.
Military matters are described as “martial arts” but in this context did not mean unarmed combat as it does today, but general military training.

Question by raven: will practicing martial arts interfere with my muscle growth?
so according to the e-book i read and according to some articles for my muscles to grow i need to totally rest them between each gym session.
but heres the thing i go for martial arts training where we do a few exercises. they are different from the gym as they aim to build endurance and flexibility and not mass and strength. but they are physically demanding.
so im wondering if its going to slow down my muscle growth if i keep going to these classes.i need to know whether i shouldgoing to these classes every day or should i slowdown/stop?

Question by jonathanbartlett2000: Is Tai-Chi really self defense?
I’m looking for new styles to incorporate into my martial arts training. A lot of kung fu schools in my area all list forms of Tai-Chi as internal energy and styles. I always thought it was meditation and relaxation. Yet I see “some” videos online that talk about combat movements. how do I learn which styles are more along fighting terms than the latter? I’m not looking to fight or anything, but I’d like to think that I’m at least some defensive/offensive measurements.

Best answer:

Answer by Shihan J
if you find a good instructor, then yes it can be used for self defense.
the problem is most instructor dont understand the self defense aspect of tai chi.
