Martial Place

Martial arts has been a lifestyle and art form for millions of people
for centuries. It caters to our natural instincts to survive, our
desire for combat and more importantly can guide a student with
values, respect and life lessons that only martial arts can provide.

There are hundreds of different fighting styles that have been
developed throughout history including karate, Brazilian jiu jitsu,
boxing, muay thai, krav maga and many more. This often leads to a
debate on which form is the superior martial art. Where has this

As humans we are very much driven by internal motivations. In most cases these internal motivations are unknown to us. We're walking around on autopilot, doing, creating, and living according to these deep set motivations. Motivations which can be of a positive or a negative nature.

Occasionally I am told of some group somewhere practicing Northern Shou' Shu'. This is wonderful. As a matter of fact today a Shifu that travels From Sacramento to train in my school told me of a group training together in Sac. They just refer to themselves as the club.

They are honoring their teacher and this is highly commendable.

Childhood obesity rates are climbing, and more and more children are spending a lot more time in front of the television, playing video games and using a computer. However, even among more active children, martial arts is still attractive since it is seen as a very good source of exercise that also teaches skills. Martial arts can help improve cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, balance, strength and overall energy levels.
