Product DescriptionInterest in a wide range of martial arts grows exponentially each year, but few practitioners understand the scientific forces that underlie these arts. The originators of ancient traditional systems intuitively grasped the body mechanics behind their disciplines, and thus were capable of generating uncanny striking force. Contemporary students, on the other hand, often fail to achieve the high levels of technical proficiency they desire because they are unaware of these laws and how they work in a martial arts context. Drawing on the author’s decades of experience as both student and teacher, Martial Mechanics explains, in humorous, easy-to-understand language, how physics and kinesiology affect martial arts techniques and how readers can best utilize them to make them faster, more powerful, and hence more effective in actual combat. Featuring black-and-white photographs throughout, Martial Mechanics is written for both internal and external mart. . . More >>

Christian Martial Arts Schools?

March 22, 2010

How is it possible for there to be christian martial arts schools?

Isn’t martial arts, especially Asian martial arts related to Buddhism. If you teach martial arts with out Buddhist or eastern philosophy are you teaching just a watered down version. Also if you start teaching martial arts to christians will some be tempted to convert or follow Asian religions and doctrines instead?

Why Are Christians Against Killing In Self Defense?

March 20, 2010

Why are Christians against killing in self defense, even though David killed Goliath?

And Joshua slaughtered hundreds of people. (My name sake has been covered in blood). Plus all the other killings in the bible. But Christians think it is a sin for a woman to kill a rapist in self defense. And does that mean the Christians think all the soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq and the rest of the world are sinning on a regular basis while they are defending our freedom and doing their job.
