This article is an overview of the Free eBook entitled Six Key Strategies Every Martial Artist Should Know (But Most Don’t) that I recently wrote on how a martial artist can greatly improve his or her performance in any martial arts style or method by adding these techniques and focusing their training around these six key strategies.
The six strategies are:
1. Principles: A principle is a primary or general law and fundamental truth
In this chapter we focus on how to generate maximum force and power for your techniques. How to use an attackers force against them, how to intercept an attack, how to destroy the attacking weapon and how to defuse an attacker.
2. Attributes: The body mechanics (movement) and mindset skills that make techniques work effectively.
This chapter explains why certain fighters and athletes dominate in their chosen sport and battlefield. If you don’t master this one key area then your martial ability and skill will always be average.
3. Sparring: Without combative practice you are only learning an art NOT a martial art. Martial means To War and your skills and techniques must be tested and proven in real time against a resisting opponent. Forms and Kata, point fighting, and one step sparring won’t prepare you for the real thing.
4. Conditioning & Nutrition: Combat athletes put conditioning and health at the top of their training list. Techniques and strategies are crucial but if you don’t have the strength, cardio and mental fortitude your techniques won’t work for very long.
5. Training Equipment & Tools: Body weight exercises, calisthenics and running can only take you so far for combat conditioning. All great champions and warriors use equipment and training tools to take their physical conditioning, sparring ability and body toughening to the ultimate level.
6. Weapons Training: This one area is the difference between training for sports, art or real combat. All great past and present masters trained in the use and defense of weapons. This is one of the keys to developing blinding speed and agility.
