http://weekendmartialartist.com/rss/quicktime-medium// Did you have to kill him? Never a question you want asked of you. Especially if the body on the ground was a friend who thought he was being funny, or was a little too rambunctious. Too many of the martial arts resources that we see advertised, focus on teaching you some super-secret technique for removing a person's spleen through their left nostril, and honestly we don't see how that's very useful in normal everyday life. We do see situations where you need to take control of your situation, and that requires responding appropriately to some meat-head who isn't thinking too clearly. That's what we're all about at The Weekend Martial Artist. We help you with a reasonable, safety-conscious response to a common situation, with three escalating levels of control. And we're going to keep our flying-back-kick-pinky-toe-of-death technique to ourselves . . . for now. For your best results always seek a certified martial arts instructor. And remember- karate works! So if you practice these or any other techniques with a partner, be careful. If only because he or she will practice the technique on you, too!
