How to Begin Japanese Sword Training - A Martial Artists Guide

Sword fighting is a popular art in Martial arts. It is considered as a prominent art.

Students who want to learn sword fighting can start by enrolling themselves in a Japanese martial arts training school where sword training is taught or a school for Japanese sword training.

The training at these schools starts with teaching different sword arts to the students and the basics of handling different types of swords. Different types of sword techniques taught at the school include:

Kenjutsu: It is a general term which is used for all sword arts Japanese. In this technique, students are taught combative swordsmanship.

Kendo: This is the term used for 'way of sword'. This technique teaches discipline. Kendo is very challenging and practiced by wearing traditional styled Japanese clothes, armour for protection and shinai.

Iaido/Iaijutsu: This is an art of smoothly drawing katana from sheath in controlled manner, then using it to get rid of opponent, cleaning blood off katana and finally placing back in sheath.

Before a student can actually start fighting with real blade, training is given using 'wooden swords'. Different types of swords are used in training. Some of the swords which are by martial artists to start sword training:

Shinai: This is a wooden sword which is made using long bamboo sticks which are tightly bounded together with the help of a string. Kendo uses shinai.

Bokken: This is another wooden sword which is commonly used for practicing in martial arts. Typically, it is made up of Asian red oak but beginners may use foam sparring bokkens. It is typically used in kenjutsu but may also be used in Iaido.

Katana: is a curvy, long, single-edged sword and is one of the famous in Japanese sword fighting. Unsharpened katanas are used in Iaido.

Iaito: This is a replica of real katanas and suitable if wants to practice katana. Used in Iaido.

Shinai is used for sword sparring instead of katana or bokken due to safety reasons.

Always remember safety is very much important. Thus, training is started with safe weapons. Lots of practice is needed in order to master a technique before actually working with real, live blade swords.

Snow Training For Mixed Martial Arts and Street Self Defense - Part 1

Weatherized training is awesome, especially if you're experiencing a day when you can't get to the gym because of weather or time (or you're lazy). You must use your environment to your best advantage, and what better environment for cardio can there be other than snow or rain. Think about it, it comes fast, and it comes frequently, and to hit one drop intentionally takes a lot of timing and speed. Keep in mind in the following paragraph, you could do the same techniques for weapons, but that's another article. Let's just talk about your basic boxing/mma/kickboxing.

One of the simplest exercises you can do while it's snowing (and let's hope not too hard) is punching the flakes as they come down. You can use your jab, cross, hook, and uppercut and take out as many of the flakes as you can. If you have a good snowfall, you can get some good cardio work in. It's important to note here that you should not be throwing Thai kicks at the snow for two reasons:

1. It's probably slippery and you'll fall. Your round house kick will definitely cause a fall, and your push kick might cause a fall. You want to stay healthy, so it's best not to test your luck. Don't throw your Thai kicks at the snow

2. You'll shear your knee to death if you throw your round kicks. Your round kick is meant to hit someone and throwing it in air and trying to retract that force will injure your knee. It's not worth it.

So what techniques do I recommend?

1. Jab

2. Cross

3. Hook

4. Uppercut

5. Overhand

6. Backfist (if you throw it, no spinning back fist though, because of falling potential)

7. Eye pokes (obliviously not for mma)

8. Anything of the above to the body (of course not the eye jab)

Lower body techniques

1. Knees

That's about it down here and I'm not talking about skip knees, or jumping knees either, unless you like concussions.

Here's how I would structure the routine:

Beginner

1 minute on and 1 minute off or a total on time of 10 minutes, you want to be exercising on a 6-8 on a scale of 10 (how hard the exercise is to you)

Intermediate:

2 minutes on 30 seconds off

Pushups 15 x 2 sets

Squats 15 x 2 sets

Advanced:

3 minutes on and 15 seconds off

Pushups 30 x 3 sets

Squats 30 x 3 sets

There you have it, get out there and get hardcore training right away.

Martial arts self defense - Why Martial Arts attack pressure points for self-defense?

Martial arts school to identify and use the techniques applied to pressure points of the attacker. There are a number of these points throughout the body. Many times when pressure is applied by the attackers and pain felt an attack can be stopped. In this article we will show why the importance of pressure points during a round of self-defense.
