The Week In Review At TheMartialArtsReporter.com 

“Time keeps on moving into the future.”

But that shouldn’t stop us from having a look at this past Week In Review. Enjoy!

This has to be my personal favorite technique ever.  Don’t miss “Back To Basics: Karate Middle Punch (Chudan Zuki)“

“Chewing on” an injury myself, I thought you might benefit from “Should Injured Martial Artists Still Work Out?”

At times underrated and underestimated “Judo: No Kicking And Punching, But It Can Still Hurt Like Hell!“

Do you know who ‘The Greatest Sports Figure Of The State of Iowa’ Is? Dan Gable, Olympic Wrestling Icon From The U.S. American Heartland

Yeah, it’s that time of the year again: “Jack Bauer/Kiefer Sutherland Of “24″ And The Art Of Fighting“

Congratulations To Fellow Martial Artist, Robert Downey Jr.! Wing Chun Practitioner Wins A Golden Globe Award for Sherlock Holmes!

Take it from the Little Dragon, Bruce Lee And The Power Of Goal Setting

Enjoy your Sunday!

I’ll be back here tomorrow. You, too?

Girl Power Expressed Through Karate Kata Perfection

If you have been following this blog lately you probably have noticed that I like to mix things up between different martial arts styles such as Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu aka BJJ aka Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Western Boxing, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun Kung Fu, just to name a few.

Today, I’m in the mood for some really impressive Karate moves. The kind of moves you see when true artists are at work or better performing a kata.

For those of you not familiar with kata, here a short description:

Kata is a Japanese word for choreographed patterns of movements that can be performed either solo or in pairs or even groups.

Kata is commonly known in the Japanese martial arts such as Aikido, Judo, Karate, Iaido and others.

You come across patterns of movements in other non-Japanese martial arts such as Tai Chi Chuan and Taekwondo. They just use Chinese and Korean words instead.

To get a better idea of what karate kata perfection looks like, have a look at this video clip of the Japanese Female Kata Team competing in 2008.

Amazing! But I will let you be the judge.

Martial Artists And The Day After Thanksgiving, Aka Black Friday

Hi everybody!

How was your Thanksgiving?

Hope you had a great time with friends and family. And if yours was anything like mine, you definitely had too much turkey and all the trimmings, right?

Well, I was able to get some time on the tennis court, but it just wasn’t enough to burn off all the calories of a genuine Thanksgiving dinner.

The disciplined martial artists an/or enthusiasts that we are, we simply call several friends over for some serious super-human workout.

The kind of fitness workout that includes push-ups, pull-ups and some other fitness exercises every serious practitioner of most martial arts such as aikido, judo, BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), boxing, karate, JKD, Kali, grappling, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Muay Thai, Tae Kwon Do, wrestling etc. usually does on a regular basis.

Just check me, I mean, these guys out. Absolutely mindboggling!
