THE 'FATHERS' OF MARTIAL ARTS(that I have met)

It has been my privilege to meet some of the Founders and Creators of certain systems of martial arts, and especially some of those, who have been considered as "THE FATHER OF A CERTAIN MARTIAL ART" by others or certain groups and writers. Of course, there are many 'self-proclaimed' creators,originators, and masters of systems nowadays. Well, of course, everyone has to start somewhere and in martial arts there is no exception to this rule, to get somewhere, you have to make some kind of effort!. v e

THE PRINCIPLE OF LEVERAGE

The Principle of LEVERAGE is important in all forms of physical confrontation and is either overlooked entirely or overstated and exaggerated form any reasons. Personal, careful, and controplled applications using LEVERAGE will prove far more convincing than verbal discussions of this most important principle. While this may seem obvious upon reading,THE PRINCIPLE OF LEVERAGE is too often ignored especially when it TOO LATE TO APPLY! DISTANCE & BALANCE FACTORS will also influence the application of LEVERAGE in any encounter, many of which are face-to-face, unrehearsed, 'mano-a-mano' between 2 opponents .
