MARTIAL MINUTE Welcome to our online video instruction page. Each month a new lesson is added. Download as often as you would like. Remember, the lessons are only a few minutes. We can't fit everything in there. Use the information as you will to enhance the training you are already receiving. APOLOGIES!! In an effort to minimize download time, we have switched to Quicktime. So, you will also need it to watch some of them. Download it here if you don't have it: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ DISCLAIMER: These videos represent the views of the author based on 20 years of training in traditional Budo under the some of the world's great instructors. There are variations for everything. These comments by no means represent the only way to do things. Please do not attempt without the supervision of a qualified instructor. FEBRUARY 2007 - The importance of angular movements in kata and how they impact the application of bunkai. One technique from "Pinan Nidan" is used to demonstrate. MARCH 2007 - MAKIWARA training drills. This has been heavily requested. I have even been asked where to buy one/ how to build one. Sorry this one is so long...and big...9 minutes and 24 MB. But, couldn't do the maki justice in only 3 minutes. Dial up users beware! And no, there is no padding on the Maki, only the leather cover. !NEW! We produced April's line-up all in one shot. These concepts are introduced quite quickly. They are just a basic introduction but we hope that they will enhance your personal kata training! APRIL 2007 - Range - How the science of range in fighting is over-looked in the concept of kata. APRIL 2007 - Chambering Hand - We never "prepare" to block or strike. APRIL 2007 - Kata Postures - The much mis-understood method of teaching self defense through the use of kata. We hope to give a small clue as to why we say "there is more to kata than meets the eye". APRIL 2007 - Crossing Hand - Why we "prepare" to block when we "block". And, why we don't when we do block. September 2007 - The Other Side of Karate - Been slacking on the martial minute. This footage from the West Coast Taikai shows why your Karate technique follows certain principles and perfection would be nice. It only takes a split second to lose an arm. WHOA!! Check out the hit counter. We were at 52 hits when we posted our first Martial Minute. Thanks to everyone for the support (especially our friends at MT!) We'll keep 'em coming! What is in production now? Stance Work, Significance of Salutations, Lots of Bunkai, The Science of "Honto" Kata, and Much More!! |
