Women in Mixed Martial Arts: Fighting for Equality Part II
2009-09-13 19:08:00 Ultimate Grappling has recently addressed the state of women in mixed martial arts. Mainstream news agencies like nbcsports.com and newamericanmedia.org have also recognized women in the sport of MMA as a newsworthy topic. In the year 2008, www.fightergirls.com increased its registered fighters to include over 1000 women. With this type of growth, it is only natural for Ultimate Grappling to continue giving well-deserved exposure to the female patrons, practitioners and pageants of mixed martial arts. ...
The Science of Balance: Taking Your Martial Arts Training to a Higher Level
2009-09-02 08:43:00 Superficially, good balance is looked at by most as the avoidance of getting knocked over. Therefore, martial artists are considered to have great balance because they spend so much time performing power movements on one leg (i.e. kicks). Today there are so many tools and applications available to improve balance on a microscopic level. Some may question why this would even be necessary for a martial athlete if throwing power kicks doesn't cause the kicker to wobble or fall off their feet. But balance has far more layers to it when understood from a kinesthetic perspective. It is time for the martial athlete, regardless of their competitive realm, to understand the layers of balance training and how it should...
Yoga for Martial Artists: Part I
2009-08-23 16:28:00 The importance of flexibility extends behind throwing kicks to the head. It used to be that martial artists along with dancers had the most impressive flexibility, compared to other types of athletes. The resurgence of yoga classes at most local health clubs has familiarized people from all walks of life with the values of flexibility and breathing. Even the mainstream athletic world is seeking more balance in training routine....
Women in Mixed Martial Arts: Fighting for Equality Part I
2009-08-23 15:44:00 A conversation about the state of women in the sport of mixed martial arts should begin with a glance back at two combative sports with a long history: boxing and wrestling. Although women's boxing first appeared in the Olympic games as a demonstration in 1904, it really took the entire 20th Century for it to gain acceptance within the athletic community. Despite strong social stereotypes and traditional points of views on the role women should have within our society, female fighters have been given several venues to showcase their skills, but lacked a fan base. Although organizations like The Swedish Amateur Boxing Association and The National Wrestling Alliance provided opportunities to see women part-take in the combative sports, a...

Which Martial Art should I choose?
2008-06-21 00:05:00 Choosing a Martial Art to practice is most certainly the first, and perhaps the most important question we ask ourselves before beginning the journey. If we are to base the question purely on the merits of which one will suit our needs best, the answer is fairly straightforward. If self defense is your top priority you want a "soft" or "internal" Art. If that was what I was looking for, JuJitSu, Hapkido or Judo would most likely be the top three. You get to be Stephen Segal and learn lots of "no nonsense" techniques that work well on the street. If, on the other hand, you want to be Jean Claude Van Damme and have an arsenal of impressive "big" techniques you want a "hard" or "external" art. Taekwondo, Karate or Muay Thai will then fit the bill nicely.There is, however, a more important consideration and that's the quality of the club or school you decide to enroll in. If you pick a bad one, you're in for a bumpy ride. First problem will be cost - bad schools/clubs will continually...

Ex-wrestler transitions to mixed martial arts
2008-06-07 00:37:00 Fighting has been in Rodney Begnaud's blood as far back as he can remember.He tells the story how his father, John Ernest, and himself as a 4-year-old left the hospital when his brother, former Northside High track and football star John Shane Begnaud, was born to go watch Andre the Giant wrestle at the Domingue Center near N.P. Moss Elementary.So although Begnaud, known as Redd Dogg Rodney Mack in fighting circles, may not officially have any ultimate fighting experience, he's not at all concerned about looking like a fish out of water when he makes his MMA debut at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lafayette vs. The World ultimate fighting card at Blackham Coliseum...More?source: theadvertiser.com

2008-05-31 18:20:00 'I did not live with the pandas. ... I just grew out my beard,' Black says of his preparation for the film.By Shawn Adler Jack Black Photo: MTV News "You want me to do some kung fu?" Jack Black teased an excited audience member, who had stepped up to the mic looking for some real moves. "OK, just a taste." The crowd came for a taste but wound up getting the full-course meal, complete with a kicking (and punching and twirling and jumping) dessert, as MTV's Sneak Peek Week continued with a screening of Black's "Kung Fu Panda" on Friday night at the Paramount Studios Lot. The animated story of a panda waiter who winds up a master fighter was followed immediately after by a Q&A with Black himself. "Important note," he added, sitting down after his demonstration and picking up his personal items from the table. "If someone's gonna fight you, remember to take out your wallet!" Black's hands may be "fast as lightning" (when the heck did he take out his wallet?) but they w...

2008-05-11 04:26:00 I love sport very much; I went to gym twice a week. My favorite sport is actually badminton, but sometimes I look to practice men’s sport like Taekwondo, Jujitsu and also Karate. But my friend advised me to try his favorite sport called Martial arts. Martial arts are known as systems of codified practices and traditions of training for combat. In such culture, the term Martial Arts often specifically refers to the combat systems that originated in East Asian cultures and martial arts share a single objective: to defeat a person physically or to defend oneself from physical threat. While browsing at the Internet, I’ve found Jung SuWon its look like a variant of Martial Arts; their system is specially design to kick away Fear Out of Your Life.

Broadly speaking, the foundation of martial arts share a single objective: to defeat a person physically or to defend oneself from physical threat.During times when I teach womens self-defense and karate classes there is always a need for equipment.
