The Arm Drag is a ridiculously simple move, so simple that I don't even like thinking of it as a technique in itself! To perform it, you just need to grab, pull and guide your opponent's leading/attacking arm (yes, with more finesse than I've describ...
The Ki/Chi debate is all over online messages boards. Personally, I've never bothered to comment on any but I do very much enjoy reading the arguments from both parties (believers and non-believers). The debates do tend to get unnecessarily heated ...
One of the earliest posts I wrote on this blog was The Triangle Hypothesis, which talked about three facets key to improving as a martial artist or fighter. For those of you who've read it, you may remember that I chose to add 'C' to the 'triangle' t...
Also referred to in BJJ as the "Mata Leao" The RNC is a peculiarly named but highly effective submission. To understand its somewhat dubious-sounding title, we have to go back to its usage in classical ju-jitsu and/or judo where the techn...

Nice blog, even better if it was content I was interested in. Pretty basic design, doesn't really appeal to me. You might consider making your page a little more lively. Right now it's just words on a page. You want to draw your readers in and keep their attention. Also on the right had side bar, there are 3 lines, that seem out of place. They look like unused items. Might want to clean that up a bit too.
Keep up the good work
