I think that Martial Arts is a form of self defense. But also it is a way to focus your mind. Too many peoples mind is unfocused. They eat too much, drink too much and don't care about their health very much. This is a defeatist attitude. I think that Martial Arts is a great form of exercise that will prevent a host of problems. Keeping a committment means keeping your promise to your self that you will do what it takes to keep your body, mind and spirit with the universe. Committment helps you focus and helps you attain a goal. A goal is lacking in peoples life that what leads to dangerous addictions like overeating, drinking and smoking cigarettes. Everybody always has the excuse martial arts is just pure violence. But it is more than that it is a way of thinking and a way of life. If you do not have any goals or ambitions in life where do you think that will lead you. It is found that if you have no interests or hobbies you become unhappy with your life and want to rather focus on bad habits like smoking, drinking and overeating.

I think the main reason why Street Fighters have an advantage is their mentality.

Bruce Lee talked about fighting someone like Lyle Alzado on PCP. Each martial art specializes in a range. Take for instance Tae Kwon Do, Since this martial art specializes in the kicking range, they think that most fights will end in this range. Bad assumption. Within each martial art there is a weakness. Let me say that again Within each martial art there is a weakness. Inside Kicking Range, Western boxing is superior. TaeKwonDo is good with the legs, But if you are fighting a crazed man bent on your destruction you have to have the tools that will take that Man out. So the TaeKwonDo Man throws a high kick, The street fighter grabs that kick and starts beating on his head. End of fight. The moral to the story is Learn all ranges, Know the techniques that work in those ranges and Learn to fight in long range and close range. A TaeKwonDo Kick will work good if it is lower below the waist and in conjunction with close quarter fighting such as Wing Chun Trapping and Western Grappling Methods.

I believe that the stuff they teach in most martial arts schools are too weighted on tradition. You have to  defend yourself in all ranges. Remember we can not always pick the range in which we fight. We have to defend ourselfs from all ranges. Most fights occur when we least expect it. A sucker punch, multiple attackers and being attacked by a weapon. These are just some scenarios. Are you prepared for the unexpected or are you just going throught the motions. The most effective way to defend yourself against a knife, is to have one yourself. If you don't have a knife you need to find a equalizer of some sort. Because  a knife can do you serious damage. You should always practice with a wooden knife or a magic marker. This way you know how good you with defending against it. If you have marks all over yourself from the magic marker. Well, you need to improve your reflexes before going any farther. Dan Inosanto, The man that Bruce Lee told to carry out his art says, you have to have reflexes before you learn any techniques with a knife.

If anyone want to know the true essence of the marital arts, a great book a read is Entering Trapping to Grappling. Larry Hartsell is a pioneer in grappling arts, he will be sorrily missed. Bruce Lee taught him 33 Grappling Techniques which he took to another level. Here now is a grappling video, I seen on YouTube that I want to share with you.

Tim Tackett demonstrating trapping hands. Trapping Hands Comes From the Art of Wing Chun. First is the outside reference point. A reference point is when you throw a punch and you get a block of some sort. This would be called a reference point. So if the your point is on the outside of his block and his block is on the inside. This is what is called an outside reference point. So if this is the case, you would use the swinging gate drill, Which bruce lee modified. This use the hing of the elbow. The next would be a inside reference point. This is if the opponent blocks from the inside you would use the ball socket drill. You would roll your sholder if in this situation. Remember, Sensitiviy is however the opponent reacts to you. So every technique will not work in every situation. You have to pick the right technique for whatever attack you are being hit with. This is sometimes the most difficult concept for a martial artist to comprehend. A technique can become a disease if you are confined by the technique. Remember in jeet kune do, Use no way as the way and have no limitation as a limitation. If you are confined to a technique, you have created a limitation or trapped yourself.
