To anyone who reads this blog, or will read it in the future: if any of you enjoy martial arts, I would recommend
The Way of Least Resistance. This is a martial arts (mostly karate) blog by an Australian litigator who has much experience in cases of real fights. He also studies a variety of martial arts- karate, xingyi, bagua, taiji, arnis, kobudo, etc- and has recently been accepted into the intimate circle of one of the most famous Chinese martial arts masters, Chen Yun-Ching.
This man not only looks at martial arts from the view of how real fights work, but also uses physics discussions, and the historical development of techniques and martial arts to explain his view. He is a martial artist I greatly respect, even more than Bruce Lee, and his blog has won three awards in the past few months. If you are interested, please visit his page, and try starting with a blog post that interests you. I personally started with his views on the difference between boxing and karate.
Enjoy!
Hey this blog about karate sounds awesome. I use to train when i was little and checking out the link to his blog really makes me want to start it all back up again. Reading how he not only talks about the fights but how the movements work and what strength it takes is a totally different aspect that i have never thought of. thanks for the insight into a blog i probably would have never found myself and look forward to reading more about his blog as well as yours.
ReplyDeleteHey man, don't mind me, but I happened to be flicking through your blog after you left a comment on Dan's. I just wanted to thank you on his behalf for your kind words. You're an eloquent and intelligent person, and the blogosphere is lucky to have you in its midst.
