Hi buddies!

I am a personal trainer for young children and young adults as well. I have built my own personal gym about four years ago right beside our home due to the fact that I was inclined into martial arts fighting since I was young.

The gym was going well and expanding since the time I built it and I started to do some personal training sessions to some friends and their kids too. The first few are just for fun sessions only but as time goes by I realized that teaching how to fight better and tougher is one of the things that inspires me and keeps me motivated.

Fight and Self Defense TrainingFrankly speaking, western martial arts is a rich culture that only teaching its techniques is not enough. I wanted to not only taught them the basic movements and techniques but also make them aware of the value and history of the sport while learning how to fight better. It will make them appreciate more the true value of self defense and fighting and realize that it is actually different and opposite from punching an opponent out.

I looked for quality resources and informative materials that will also keep the motivation up and not to bore them away. I was offered a low cost past collection on how to fight and defend self. The guides and manuals basically served as my fighting library and I was surprised to see huge historical information at my hands, with several images of the most effective fighting techniques, and an essential workbook that serves as my guide to easily track my client’s progress. The young kids were fascinated by all the illustrations featured that it helped them greatly. This fighting guide collection is really a steal for trainers and individuals wanted to know how to fight and at the same time nourish themselves with rich information about the western martial arts.

You Must Learn Street Fighting Techniques to Control Your Opponent

imageIt is very important to understand the fact that you must defend your self and not depend on external factors to help you. For this you must learn street fighting techniques. If you learn street fighting moves you will come to know that they are the most effective forms of self defense and do not involve lethal weapons. Therefore they can be learnt by almost any individual of any size and sex. The street fighting techniques are not some old or ancient secrets that have been passed on from generations to the special families. They are in fact the most brutal and sensible ways to defend your self from serious attacks and assailants. In order to learn street fighting techniques you need not go to the marital arts school. Lot of information is available on the internet. Some of it points to the fact that you must have control of your surroundings. Absent mindedness will attract attackers. This translates into showing your assailants that you are aware of their intentions and that you are on guard. You must always keep away from deserted areas and take routes where there is more number of people. When you learn street fighting moves you will come to know that the element of fear will paralyzes your thinking and you will tend to become illogical. Therefore when you are under any attack it is important that you gain self control and do not fall a victim of panic. Panic and fear are a human’s worst enemies. They blur the vision and ability to think rationally. The main point is that you must have rational approach in case of self defense. When you are under the influence of alcohol, your rational thinking will automatically leave you. Thus reduce the consumption and limit till you can comprehend situations. When you learn street fighting moves in the marital arts school, they tell you about the importance of kicks. Kicks are an essential technique in any type of marital art. But kicking the assailant on any part of the body doesn’t work while you are street fighting. If you try to kick the assailant in the mid-section or the head, then most probably the assailant will catch hold of you and throw you on the ground. Thus when you learn street fighting techniques, smartness involves kicking a person on the knee. A kick on the front side of the knee will make your opponent writhe in pain. This is because you will be damaging his knee by either ripping his cartilage or breaking the knee cap. Another smart move is to kick the person in the inner side of the knee with full force. This will be enough for the attacker to fall on the ground and you can run away from the ugly scene without getting hurt. It is not difficult to learn street fighting moves. But when to apply the same is what you have to learn. Violence is everywhere in the streets of any country and culture. We can be the next victim of the criminals. Our children can get attacked anytime. Criminals don’t leave the older generation also. For them the ultimate motive is to get money by any means – how-so-ever unfair it is. Therefore we have to learn street fighting techniques in order to have a better future.

Different Styles in Boxing

imageThere are different types of boxers, depending on their strengths, their skill levels, and other correlated attributes. A boxer plays the game the way he does because of the fusion of all these features.Different Boxing StylesBrawler / SluggerBrawlers are those who punch and punch with utter disregard for technique, relying heavily on their punching power to win. Most of them are slow and has poor footwork skills. They also tend to get hit a lot and most of the time, they catch a lot of shots on the way in.While this can be a bad idea for a sound boxer, brawlers who can take tons of punches and deliver tons of damage in return sometimes win bouts. One powerful punch is all they need to win a fight.George Foreman was a pure brawler and his durability along with his relentless style makes him one of the most feared brawlers when he was still active.Classic boxer / Distance FighterThe classic boxer, also known as the distance fighter, optimizes the distance between him and his opponent. A distance fighter prefers to pepper their opponents with long distance punches, most notably the jab, in an effort to keep them at bay and tire them throughout the fight. Another trait of the classic / distance fighter is that they also have better footwork than most of their opponents.The jab and other long range punches do not carry huge amounts of power, which explains why most distance fighters win by points. However, a distance fighter knockout their opponents if they are able to tire them down the stretch.Most notable proponent of this style is Muhammad Ali, whose quick feet and sharp jabs helped him become one of the legends of the sport. It is also important to note that Ali is no power puncher. Boxer-PunchersBoxer-PuncherPerhaps the type of boxer that requires a lot of skills in their armory, the boxer-puncher tend to wears their opponents down with powerful combinations and go for the knockout using a series of punches or even with just one shot. With deft footwork and blazing hand speed, they can slide in and do some damage and slip out before the other boxer can retaliate. Most traits of a boxer-puncher include speed, good chin, and extreme mobility.Manny Pacquiao is a fine example of a boxer-puncher. He is naturally fast and agile and he also packs power in both hands.Swarmer / Pressure FighterAs the name suggests, pressure fighters prefer to stay up close and in front of their opponents and throw a lot of powerful combinations to frustrate them, take them off their game, and wear them down for the big finish. While their style may be the same as the brawler / slugger, a pressure fighter is more defensively sound and a lot skillful than their brawling counterparts.Pressure fighters can bob and weave, slip to the sides, and prefer to duck punches than block them. They also have to have a strong chin because they also tend to get hit a lot, although not as much as a brawler.One remarkable pressure fighter is Mike Tyson. He always closes the distance between him and the other man and unleash flurries of power punches to keep the bout short and sweet.CounterpuncherPerhaps the most defensive-minded of all types of boxers, counterpunchers have tons of defensive skills at their disposal. A counterpuncher is almost always not the aggressor, but their offense is always initiated with good defense.A counterpuncher throws a shot after slipping or deflecting the other boxer’s punches. To be an effective counterpuncher means you need to have some decent amount of power as well as above-average hand speed.Perhaps the most known counterpunchers today include Floyd Mayweather, Jr., and Juan Manuel Marquez.Matching up the stylesEach type of boxer can dominate and be dominated. A brawler can easily beat a pressure fighter but struggles against a distance fighter. A distance fighter on the other hand, tends to have a hard time against pressure fighters.But there are some instances where a boxer changes his style while in the fight to gain the upper hand. Bernard Hopkins can switch from a distance boxer to a pressure fighter if the situation calls for it. Manny Pacquiao, a boxer-puncher, can easily revert to his brawling self if he feels his opponent will go down with sheer punching power.Each style has its potential to make any bout exciting and fulfilling, despite its flaws and shortcomings. As they say in boxing, styles make fights.
