Different Types of Karate Martial Arts Uniforms

Andreas Becker:

I’m here today with Johnny Kennedy from Combat Sports Supplies and we’re going to talk about the different types of uniforms that you can get for martial arts. So Johnny, if I’m looking for a particular uniform for my kids for say karate, can they wear any old uniform or how does that actually work? Are there different uniforms? Tell me a little bit about that.

Johnny “The Rocket” Kennedy:
There are a huge range of uniforms depending on what type of martial arts that your child does. When you look at karate uniforms on their own, there are basically four or five different types and styles just on those alone, depending on what style of karate they do. They play a good part in what type of uniform you should get for your child

Andreas Becker:
But wouldn’t that be confusing a little when ordering stuff on the internet? To sort that out, how would I know which one to go for?

Johnny “The Rocket” Kennedy:
Well that’s what we find on our website. When you go into whatever version of whatever type of martial arts supplies you need, we have detailed explanations on what they should be used for. Some are better for a lot of punching and kicking and some are for take-downs.

Andreas Becker:
So you’re saying its pretty straight-forward when coming to grips on it right?

Johnny “The Rocket” Kennedy:
Right.

Andreas Becker:

Blocks – The True American Martial Art

Arts blogger

When discussing the various martial arts and fighting styles from around the world, the little known urban system of 52 Blocks, a variation of the more broad style Jailhouse Rock, has to enter the conversation. Researchers Daniel Marks and Kammau Hunter have argued that Jailhouse Rock may in fact be America’s only “Native Martial Art.” With an African influence and believed to have originated in the 17th and 18th centuries by slaves, 52 Blocks went on to evolve in the streets of Brooklyn and US prisons. The style focuses on close quarter techniques, similar to those self defense situations found in environments like prisons, restrooms, alleys, and hallways where movement would be limited.

As mentioned above, 52 Blocks, also called “52 Hand Blocks” and “The 52’s”, is part of a larger collection of fighting styles referred to as “JHR”, or “Jailhouse Rock.” 52 Blocks and their variants are similar to the martial arts of capoeira and savate, both of which were fighting systems associated with urban criminal subcultures, which underwent a gradual process of codification before becoming established as martial arts accessible by the mainstream. Other variations from the JHR collection are Comstock, San Quentin style, Mount Meg, and Stato, each name in reference to the prison that it was started at. As it gained popularity and exposure in the earyl 70’s, Jail House Rock seems to have first showed up in the media in an article on Martial Arts in prison called, “KARATE IN PRISON: Menace, or Means of Spiritual Survival?,” in Black Belt Magazine from July, 1974.

Despite wide belief, 52 Blocks is not a style of Western boxing, nor is it Wing Chun mixed with Western boxing. Considered a defensive style that creates openings for offense through constant movement, the fighter blocks/catches punches with the forearms and elbows. Short power punches, flowing movement, and counter striking are all aspects of 52 that are emphasised, while using sharp and evasive footwork. Unlike boxing but similar to Muay Thai, the elbows are commonly used to strike the opponent.

Much of the argument and conflicting information about 52 Blocks stems from whether or not the style has been influenced at all by “uprocking” or what most of us call breakdancing. Some believe this link is the aspect of some of the fighting techniques inspired by or copied from the “diss moves” taken from the Brooklyn Rock or uprock style of breakdancing. It looks like you can find as many sources stating these links between 52 and urban dancing as you can to the contrary, making it the subject on 52 with the most conflicting information.

As many practitioners of 52 have felt that their system has long been overlooked, it’s now is starting to take its rightful place in martial arts history, the product of longtime growing media coverage. Jack Johnson, the first black heavyweight, is one of the high profile boxers to first endorse 52 and professional boxers including Mike Tyson Zab Judah, and Bernard Hopkins have testified to the existence of the style, giving it a voice of legitimacy from true fighters. Rashad Evans, former light heavyweight champion in the UFC, has also promoted 52 and its effectiveness.

Cold Weather Martial Arts Training Tips and Routines

Arts blogger

Training for martial arts is an intense experience and varies greatly from discipline to discipline. It is important for you to understand the strenuous physical demands as well as the complicated movement patterns which goes along with it. For each specific discipline, a training program can be put together for each specific discipline you are working in. After all, not every exercise and training regimen is suitable for every one training in the martial artists.

When it comes to mixed martial arts, the technique goes hand in hand with the conditioning. The better conditioned your body is, you can perform crisp techniques and maneuvers much longer with more strength behind them. When your martial arts techniques are sharper, you tend to waste less of your energy which is important in matches. The problems is many martial arts student waste precious time with their conditioning workouts, sticking to routines that have nothing to do with the training they need.
Suicide sprints – Be prepared to run! First off you’ll begin by dividing up the field you’re running in into two equal in length sections. Now that you’ve done that, start off at the far end of the field and then sprint as fast as you can to the first checkpoint, touching the ground as you do so. You’ll then sprint back to where you started. You then will either run to the next checkpoint or to the end the field, depending on how you marked it, touch the ground again, and sprint back to the beginning. Congratulations. You’ve just completed one full rep. Now try to do anywhere between 2 and 5 reps. Suicide sprints work your cardiovascular endurance, leg strength, speed and agility.

Squat jumps – Begin by positioning your legs so that your your feet are slightly apart. Now, bending your knees, you squat down and then jump up with as much effort as you can. After land back on the ground, you need to immediately do the same thing again. You don’t want to have any pauses between your jumping motions. It should be continuous and smooth. Aim for about between 10 and 30 jumps. Everyone you do should be done with intensely as you try to jump as high as possible. Squat jumps develop explosive leg strength and work your fast twitch muscle fibers.

Pushups – I’m sure you’ve heard of or have at least seen someone do a pushup. Get in a normal pushup position. Well as a review of how to do one, start off by bending your elbows as your body lays flat on the ground. Then forcefully push your whole body up off the ground causing your hands to leave the ground. Once your hands hit the ground again, lower your body down again and repeat the pushup process. You don’t want to pause between motions and continue this exercise for about 20 to 30 reps. Pushups are great for developing strength and power in your chest, arms, upper back and shoulders.

Walking lunges – You’re back working out on the same field you used for those suicide springs. Stand at the end of it with your feet together. Next, make one one large step forward, and as you’re doing that, you’ll want to lower your body into a lunge with both knees at a 90 degree angle. Your back knee will be only a few inches from the ground but keep it from touching. Repeat this with your opposite leg as you continue lunging down the field. Walking lunges work to strengthen muscular endurance in the legs as well as aiding stability and balance.

Martial Arts Tattoo Weakens The Fighting Spirit Of Ufc Gladiators

Arts blogger

That a Martial Arts Tattoo could indicate who would win an MMA match is nothing short of surprising. Yet, it seems to be the fact. To be sure, this is a quite unscientific survey, yet the results seem to be fairly predictable.

The project first began a couple of weeks ago, when this martial artist/writer was spending an exciting night perched in front of the tube. Exciting, because it was man to man contests of pure savagery: the mayhem and mania of grown men pounding one another to bloody pulps. At some point during these fights the question was born: do martial artists with tattoos adorning their bodies win more, or lose more?

A balance sheet was kept, results were tallied, and the results gave a decided advantage to the uninked ones being more victorious. Mind you, there was some confusion to be sorted out. After all, the bodies being tallied had to be compared for tattoos.

Two fighters had designs swirling across their torsos. Which one used more ink? Which artwork covered more flesh?

Regardless of proportions of ink and flesh, the martial arts fighters with less ink won more times than their inkier brethren. Actual statistics were between 70 and 80 per cent. These statistics held true for later tabulations, actually leaning even more in favor of the unmarked Mixed Martial Artists.

One factor that was of interest, but proved too difficult to keep track of was whether the type of tattoo had any effect on the proportions. The speed of the matches, the motion of the fighters, it was difficult to tell whether the contestants had a Karate tattoo, or a Bruce Lee Tattoo. The only specific tat noticed by this author was in conjunction with a victory by a Latin fighter with Heysoos emblazoned across his body.

Comes the question: why would a tattoo make a difference in a fight? Various theories were considered, theories having to do with the amount of ink having an adverse effect on the ‘breathing’ of the body. Or whether ink could have an effect on the musculature under the skin.

In the end, no theory held for all the facts, one could only reach the conclusion that fighters who cared more about image were not as concerned with punching power. That fighters who cared about how they looked, were not as serious about building the unique fighting willpower that is crucial to the successful gladiator. That a Martial Arts tattoo could very well weaken the fighting spirit of a man.
