Weight Loss Made Easy

In case you’re just like a great many others, you most likely think you’d have to produce a substantially potent blow to someone’s head so as to end up with a knockout within a ground fight? Not surprisingly, in the case of self defense, most knockout blows tend to be launched during the time when you’re standing on your feet, whilst in the position for you to place a substantial strike. Regrettably however, if you’re in a ground fight, the laws have a tendency to evolve, because you might be laying flat on your back, which in turn would mean it’ll be tough to produce some sort of knockout blow. To make the situation even worse, all those parts on the human body the most susceptible to knockout blows may very well be totally out of reach, especially if your attacker is actually on top of you. Nevertheless, a good knockout continues to be achievable in a ground fight, and it also continues to be your smartest choice when it comes to finishing your struggle within the least amount of time.

Delivering A Knockout Strike In A Ground Fight

When we look at how to knock someone out in a fight that takes place on the ground, you must first recognize that all of the best knock-out targets are from the neck up on your opponent. If he’s mounted you where you’re flat on your back, you’re in a dangerous position because he can punch away at you with a lot of power, but you have a harder time reaching your own knockout targets. What you’ve got to do when ground fighting then, is drag those targets back into reach. You can do this by first reaching up to grab his shirt or his clavicles and essentially “climb” your way up his body which will actually pull him down toward you to bring your knockout targets closer. In fact, there’s one specific point you’ll have access to from this position…and it’s your secret spot for achieving a knockout!

The Most Perfect Target To Get A Single Strike Knockout That Will Knock Your Attacker Out

The following magic formula I’m going to disclose involves an area of our body that is frequently forgotten about, but yet it offers you the perfect chance of a knockout in any ground fight. The region concerned is in reality a pressure point situated at the rear of your head close to the hairline, roughly half way between the ears and the spine. Another advantage is your attacker has got two of these pressure points – one found on each side of his spine, which means you really have two spots. Of course, hitting this particular vicinity is definitely something you must only ever carry out within a self defense predicament, simply because not only can one single strike cause a knockout, but, when made with a good amount of power, it might result in a death.

To make Effective Contact With Your Target In A Ground Fight

From the worst-case ground fighting position where someone has you on your back, reach up with one arm (it doesn’t matter which side) up along the center of his body. Your aim is to get your arm over his shoulder and arm on that same side and control that arm with yours and gain access to the back of your attacker’s head as he’s pulled down close to you. From here, you can get a clear shot at the pressure point target. What most people do from this position is to simply start pounding on the attacker’s back which will have no effect in a real street fight because the back is full of muscle. If he’s pounding you from above in a ground fight, you don’t have time to waste on ineffective self defense techniques like punches to the back. So with your arm over his shoulder, slam the palm of your hand hard into the pressure point target on the back of his head. When he goes limp, simply roll him off you. That is how to knock someone out with one punch, even in a ground attack in a real street fight.

[I:http://testblog2.kathypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/AlCase7.gif]Didn\’t know that Johnny Cash could fix Martial Arts systems, did you? Well, actually, his advice is for fixing cars, sort of, but it translates directly to the fighting disciplines. And it is sound advice indeed.

Johnny sang a song almost forty years ago called \’One Piece at a Time.\’ In the lyrics he has a factory worker, who will never be able to buy a Cadillac, sneak one off the assembly line \’one piece at a time.\’ Unfortunately, the bits of auto were smuggled out over a 20 year time span, and the assembled vehicle was quite the mess.

1956 hub caps over 1969 tires. 1958 tail lights with a 1971 rear end. The thing was a mess beyond proportion and propelled by rediculosity, and that brings us to the martial arts.

That cross grip flip throw you learned in Taekwondo, it\’s actually a Japanese technique built for Samurais. That pressure point for bringing \’em to their knees, it\’s actually taught better in Tai Chi Chuan classes because…uh, well, because. And that combination you just learned at Shotokan freestyle class, it looked better in Ed Parker Chinese Kenpo Karate.

You see, every system in existence, all of them, are cobbled together out of the bits and pieces of different countries, different religions, different mindsets. The forms and patterns are really frankenstein miscalculations. The techniques are a hodge podge put together out of whatever came to hand.

Look, I\’m not speaking ill of the thing, on the contrary, I think that people did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, no matter how sterling the basic concepts in one\’s style, they are a mixture of many metals, prone to come apart at the worst time. And the real concepts have been dimmed, transformed, made to fit another concept, and the true martial art is not available.

People, you see, for more centuries than you can count, have assembled tricks into arts, and this jury rig of art has confused and made obscure the real truths of the combative methods. Consider the reality, for thousands of years people have made art, driven a vehicle, as it were, and not once has anybody ever stopped and tried to take it all apart, shine the pieces up, and put them back together in the right method. And there is a right method; there is a true art.

The true art is defined by physics, but not just your normal physics, rather a physics that has to do with bodies in motion, combat, and the descending of an apple out of a tree. A physics that is not plain to see for the simple fact of being too close to the face. At any rate, if one did actually take apart and fix the various Martial Arts Systems they would end up with faster reaction times (no reaction times), because all the data would be simple and straightforward and more easily understood, and entire arts that could be taught much, much, much faster.

[I:http://testblog2.kathypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/AlCase26.jpg]When we speak of the best martial arts forms we are speaking of those martial arts kata that result in a gradual and excessive benefit to the student. To be truthful, I usually recommend learning as many forms as possible, then specializing on the ones that the student prefers, although there can be tweaks in this approach. I recommend learning whole systems, first taekwondo, then karate, then kung fu, and so on.

The kebons are good, basic forms, and are common to both karate systems and taekwondo systems. Though there are three to five of these, I don\’t usually count them as forms because they are learning the important but easy ABCs of the martial arts.

The next batch of kata to study would be the Taeguks as taught in Tae kwon do. These are basic patterns, more advanced than the kebons, but not as advanced as the Japanese Heians (Pinans). Though they take a few moves from the Heian forms, they serve them up as straight hand to hand techniques, no secret throws or weapons disarms, and no real generation of intrinsic energy.

After the taeguks one should move directly into the Pinan forms from the Shotokan system, the Isshin ryu system, and other Japanese martial styles. The Pinan forms are actually designed more for weapons and weapon defenses, though not many people know that. The idea here is that one studies the Taeguks for hand to hand, then moves into the Pinans for a basic understanding of weapons disarms, and the beginnings of chi generation.

After the Pinans one should learn the three forms found in the Pan Gai Noon, which are the base forms from Uechi ryu Karate, and which are actually three extremely intense gung fu forms. These three patterns are sanchin, seisan, and sanseirui, though the last one is often thought of as more of a demonstration form. These three unique kata are specifically designed to build the intrinsic energy known as chi or ki.

The Sanchin form teaches a student to fasten the body/motor to the ground. There are not a lot of moves in it, but the moves are excellent for teaching one to use hard energy in self defense moves.

Sanchin is the power form, but seisan is the technique form. This form takes the power of sanchin and translates it into (probably) 13 specific self defense techniques. These are all based on one specific move called wa uke, which is a circle and grabbing block.

So to ultimate arrangement of forms is Kebons to Taeguk to Pinans to Sanchin and seisan; or, as art, from taekwondo to karate to kung fu. This sequencing of martial arts forms provides the student with the most complete arrangement of classical martial arts training possible. Other forms can and should be leaned, but the heart of the art can really be found in this arrangement of art.

There are plenty of positive reasons to use the internet. With the internet, you can go to different places without moving an inch. Right at the tip of your fingers is knowledge untold. Connection to other parts of the world is taken for granted. But one thing I ignored is the use of an internet protection software for my child.

Our son has been using the internet for his school work since the day he learned to type on our PC. He is very comfortable with the internet now that he is 10 years old that things that we do not know, he already knows.

And that is our concern. He has all those knowledge within reach but we are worried about whether that knowledge is all right. We have to be sure that the knowledge he is getting is not harmful.

Thinking about this condition, I did not realize that I was about to come upon internet protection software for my child. We were quite concerned with the information that he unintentionally gave to strangers over the internet.

We were happy that we came to know about the IntelliSpy Activity Tracking Software while I was thinking about finding a good internet protection software for my child. Its functional features persuaded us to get one.

It gave me the opportunity to trace all the activities in which my son engages on the computer. The IntelliSpy Activity Tracking Software enabled me to see what my son typed on the keyboard, in emails, instant messages and the social networking sites.

The software also enables me to see snapshots of the screen taken at 1 minute intervals. Most important of all is it gives me the capability to block web sites that are not suitable for him.

If he closes the program without me knowing it, or if he shuts down the computer, the IntelliSpy Activity Tracking Software will restart the program. I really think that this is an effective internet software protection for my child among others I have seen.

Petroff C Novisca has been training individuals how to use self defense products to protect themselves and their families for years. There are several options, such as stun guns, pepper sprays and personal alarms. He offers complete support and instruction on how to use the products.

My father-in-law is a firm believer in security systems. Many times, his home and office have been protected from break-ins and burglaries because of the surveillance systems he had installed.

He wanted us to install a similar system in our new home before we transfer for family protection. His system is quite big for our new home so I opted to install a do it yourself wireless home security set-up.

I came to know about this special family protection system through the internet. This was weeks before our transfer to our new home. Since I am a regular DIY guy, my choice gravitated to such types of products.

I readily chose this do it yourself wireless home security system when I saw it in the catalog. A homeowner will do the right thing if he will use this set up to provide him with family protection from all sorts of crimes against property.

A do it yourself wireless home security system has 4 separate security devices put together. If there is a motion detected in the property, or a window or door is opened, the system will sound an alarm and will dial up to 5 preset phone numbers.

The alarm will sound if any of the door detector, the window detector or the motion detector is triggered. The base unit will receive this alarm and it will dial the first telephone number that you listed.

The one who answers the call will hear a pre-recorded message. He may choose whether to listen in, or broadcast the voice through the base unit, or deactivate the system. If the first number does not respond, the next number is dialed.

A do it yourself wireless home security system is very affordable. In this regard, providing your family protection from crime is not a difficult thing to do.

Dae C Khol has been training individuals how to use self defense products to defend themselves and their property for years. You will find many options, including stun guns, self defense sprays and personal alarms. He provides complete support and instruction on how to use the products.

My aunt requested me to look for suitable defense tools for her female boarders. I said that we should buy pepper spray devices. They offer the best in personal defense.

If this is sprayed on anyone, it will immediately aggravate the mucous membranes causing the eyes to shut. Tears will profusely come out of the eyes combined with obstructed breathing. The person will also feel a burning sensation on the skin.

Browsing web sites, I started to buy pepper spray products that will provide personal defense to my aunt?s female boarders.

One item was the Mace Pepper Gel. The latest personal defense spray, it can spray to a distance of up to 25 feet. The spray substance sticks like glue, rendering the attacker temporarily blind. The unit is effective up to three years.

The second gadget was the Guard Dog 18% OC Pepper Spray. A UV dye in addition to the OC spray is inside this unit. The invisible UV dye will aid the police in identifying the attacker because it will cover his face when sprayed upon.

As I continued to buy pepper spray tools, the third item I saw was the Mace Pepper Spray Jogger Unit made precisely for outdoor use. Those who are out jogging or running will appreciate its built-in clip. Although it is small, it still has the heat power of other sprays. 10 1-second burst of sprays is the capacity of this model.

The Pepper Shot Sprays were the fourth item. These are in different models and sizes. Included are the 1/2 and 2 oz pocket or purse models. The Key Chain models which come in 1/2 oz hard case leatherette belong to this category.

The last one I saw while looking to buy pepper spray items were the Pepper Spray Key Chains. Each is very convenient as it is also a keychain that is normally held in the hand. You are always ready if any attacker would try to hurt you.

Darral B Haecker is a well known expert on Self Defense Products and sells a big selection of disguised stun guns, self defense sprays, personal alarms, Tasers and Mace. Should you ever ask yourself where do I buy pepper spray, you now have a secure place to order.

[I:http://testblog2.kathypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/AlCase29.jpg]This secret move is actually inside karate fighting systems, as well as kung fu fighting systems, or just about any martial art you might know. This is because it is a basic motion of the arms. This basic motion, once one knows it, will give rise to virtually all the techniques of the martial arts.

Stand in a natural stance, feet shoulder width and extend the arms straight out in front of the body. Bend the arms slightly and make circles with the arms in front of your body in a clockwise manner. The circles should be about three feet wide, and should overlap each other by about a foot.

As you make these circles you will see a sequence of blocking moves. At one point your right arm will be in a high blocking position and your left arm will be in a low blocking position. As you circle the arms clockwise of the limbs you right arm will pass through an inverted low block (back of the wrist protecting the groin) and your left arm will pass through a palm block (protecting the face).

Anybody who attacks you will encounter one of these blocks, or enter into the swirling motion of your arms. You can angle the blocks and cause all manner of manipulations simply by adjusting the footwork. Take a step, turn the hips, pivot, all will change the angle of the circles, and you will find other types of blocks.

If you hold the distance and focus the circles you can perform hard and bruising blocks. If you step into a person and circle the attacking limb it will change into a lever and a joint manipulation or a throw, as you might find in Gracie Jujitsu schools. Tighten it up and go at a person and you will do the basic Bruce Lee blasting technique.

Thus, this circling of the arms is inherent in any art, and most students will play with it at some time in their careers. Unfortunately, they don\’t usually explore it to the degree necessary to understand the basic conceptual nature of the circles. Yet, a few decades into the art, an accomplished student will invariably realize the fundamental usefulness of the arm circles.

I discovered this move in Pan Gai Noon. The wa-uke circling block is a variation of this fundamental motion. It wasn\’t long before I saw it in the various kung fu fighting systems, and then the kenpo fighting art and all the karate fighting systems. I was quick to make it the pivotal point of my own Shaolin Butterfly Kung Fu home study course.

In summation, let me point out that this arm motion opens the door to endless fighting techniques. If you alter the direction of the circles, or change the direction of one of the circles, you will find virtually every martial arts technique imaginable. Go ahead, look at your martial arts patterns and kata, and you will find that this little trick is at the heart of every martial system, and not just Shaolin Kung Fu Systems.

The best thing to do is educate yourself on personal safety and self defense. I have been doing this because it is hard to keep up with all four of my kids and wondering if I am doing my very best to keep them all safe.

In order to keep my valuables safe I use diversion safes. These safes will fool someone if they are rummaging through my house looking for something. I also use the computer activity tracking software often so that I know what kind of material my children are looking at and also what kinds of messages are coming in or being sent out.

I bring a pepper spray when I go out, with my children or not, and keep another in my car. They are the simplest things to use for personal safety – you spray, that\’s it. Pepper sprays are also good as bear and canine repellers.

In order to be responsible it is important to check the state or city restrictions when purchasing pepper sprays, stun batons or stun guns.

The fact that The Taser C2 can be fired from a distance makes it a great way to subdue attackers. There are even other stun guns that look like regular everyday items you would have on you like a cell phone.

[I:http://testblog2.kathypop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/AlCase7.gif]I doubt whether most martial arts training halls, be they Goju Ryu or Mixed Martial Arts or Jujitsu or whatever, have ever had a crazy guy in their school like Mud Car. We called him Mud Car because that\’s what his license plates on his automobile stated. That vehicle, more than just about anything else, told the story of Mud Car.

He had strung parachute webbing across the insides of his car because he felt that parachute webbing was best for holding his car together on the inside. He had fire extinguishers clamped throughout his car. He had a switch on his dashboard to give extra power to his tail lights, and he clicked it whenever he faced away from the sun so that people behind him could see when he braked.

This was all surface stuff, though. The most impressive thing that Mud Car did was memorize the times of all the traffic lights in San Jose. He could traverse that large town without ever hitting a stop light.

Unfortunately, when it came to Karate, he was just as crazy. He couldn\’t stretch, couldn\’t control his body, and, because he had no control, it hurt to work with him. Just being around him you could feel the sparks in his mind shooting into the cosmos.

One day he interrupted the instructor to complain about a pain in his leg. \”It doesn\’t hurt me that much, but it keeps nagging at me, do you know how to make the pain in my leg go away?\” My instructor looked at me with murder in his eyes, I suppose he didn\’t want to look at Mud Car because he would kill him, and he blurted, \”Hit your leg with a lead pipe…that\’ll make the pain go away.\”

I suppose the ability to drive other people crazy is the deciding factor in this matter of whether a person is insane or not. At any rate, Mud Car never made it to Black Belt. He just didn\’t have the mental maturity that denotes a black belt.

One day, however, a new sensei took over the training hall, and Mud Car was promoted to Black Belt within a short time…and then he left the training hall. He had gotten what he wanted, and the new instructor knew that was the best and most efficient way to get rid of Mud Car. But the truth is…I missed Mud Car.

He was nuts, but so is the guy who goes after you on the mean streets, so if you could last a session with Mud Car without getting hurt, you knew your art was working. Furthermore, there was a shift of standard here, for Mud Car had been promoted to black belt because he could drive people nuts, not because he was a competent martial artist. Finally, I think that is where the True Art started disappearing from the martial arts training halls of America…schools, even dojos like classical hung gar or Parker Kenpo or classical Aikido, did not administer soothing discipline to the insane, they just promoted them to get rid of them.

If you want to go crazy through the martial arts…drop on by Punch \’Em Out. If you want to go sane through the martial arts…try Monster Martial Arts. 2
