Like many people over the Memorial Day weekend I took time out to remember our nation's fallen heroes Wholesale Orlando Magic Jerseys , but afterwards I went to a friend's house to enjoy a barbecue.
The food was great and except for the whining of a few liberals I had a great time. At one point a friend of a friend came over to pick my brain about martial arts. He wanted to improve his health and get back into shape without injuring his back again.
He wanted to learn a good sport martial art that would give him a workout, but also teach him self defense. He looked confused when I told him that he wouldn't be learning self defense, and the best he could hope for from most martial arts schools was a good workout.
The fact is most people don't realize that sport combatives like boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling and fencing are just sports.
I am not taking anything away from them by any means.
All take a lot of skill, training Wholesale Oklahoma City Thunder Jerseys , and heart to compete in, but at the end of the day they only simulate real life combat.
In boxing for example, there are rules governing what moves a fighter can and cannot use in a match.
Head butts, elbows, and biting are all fouls that could end a boxing match, but are perfectly acceptable in a street fight for self defense.
In Kendo Wholesale New York Knicks Jerseys , a shinai (bamboo practice sword) can pass across the neck and do no damage in a match, but in real life it could sever an artery ending the fight.
Sports are games and they are meant to be fun. And no matter how competitive they might be, nobody is ever supposed to get hurt or die.
I had to laugh some weeks back when I saw a website advertising deadly mixed martial arts (MMA) techniques that had been banned by Ultimate Fight Championships (UFC).
Of course they had been banned from the UFC because it is a sport. And as difficult as it is, as great as those athletes are, it is simply not kill or be killed combat.
So what happens when things escalate to kill or be killed combat?
Where do combative sports fit in?
And is it even worth your time to do these sports?
Listen, if you train in combat sport Wholesale New Orleans Pelicans Jerseys , just realize that it is not self defense training.
Sure combat sports have striking, grappling, and weapon usage, but they are just the beginning of real close combat training.
But what is VITALLY important for even the most die-hard self-defense or martial arts junkie is that it is ONLY combat sport that can provide the conditioning for actual combat.
The two MUST fit hand in hand with one another; otherwise both camps are kidding themselves.
A chilling example of this principle involves the first family to fall victim to the BTK (Bind, Torture and Kill) serial killer Dennis Rader.
It was January 15, 1974 when 15-year-old Charlie Otero came home and found his mother father and his younger brother and sister dead at home. The victims had been tortured before being killed and the females had been masturbated on by the killer.
In the years to come this modus operandi would become all too familiar to the police in and around Wichita Kansas.
As the police investigated the Otero family murders they found no reason for the murders Wholesale Minnesota Timberwolves Jerseys , and the family was by no means an easy target. Joseph Otero, 38, had been a career Air Force man and an excellent boxer.
His wife Julie, 34, had extensive Judo training, and all the children were known to be skilled in the sport as well.
People that knew the family thought they were well trained in self defense Wholesale Milwaukee Bucks Jerseys , but they weren't. They had no idea how to deal with a killer like Rader as they were conditioned to fight with rules, regulations, and etiquette.
Again, if interested, use combative sport training as a fun, entertaining way to get fit. But unless you plan on bringing a referee to that critical moment when you will be called upon to defend yourself and your family Wholesale Miami Heat Jerseys , I suggest tuning off the pay-per-view crap and investing in some REAL self defense training.
You may not be totally unaware of this highly abused story about why Nike Dunk SB and Nike Air Jordans are amongst the highly counterfeited line of sneakers in the world today, particularly if you had been even remotely following the Nike story. To begin with, Nike SB Dunk and Nike Air Jordans are released occasionally, perhaps once a year, a fact that helps the black marketers and collectors alike. Nike has a readymade justification for this, which appears to be cocky superficially but as long as it gets the upper hand in keeping its market Wholesale Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys , even a small time fan has no complaints to make.
According to a survey, Nike Dunk SB is the most popular sport shoe brand to have ever been released by any company and FC follows from at a distance. Since SB Dunks almost always have strange nicknames, fakes like Nike ?What the Dunk? SB manage to sneak into many wardrobes. The logos on insoles are clear telltale signals that it is a fake. It is noteworthy that authentic Nike Dunk SB, Kiyosaki, is one of the narrowest, highly materialistic and is basically a creation sold predominantly by MLM companies or by referrals Wholesale Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys , which is a kind of testimonial for authenticity.
As far as memory can travel, Nike SB Dunk has alone earned the top honors amongst Nike?s products. The thick cushion with additional support for ankles, it is built for hardcore skateboarders. The extraordinary aspect with this is that it comes with a strap featuring the logo of SB on it. Actually it is these kind of small things that make them highly sought after and hard to find.
How the craze builds up prior to each release also makes for interesting reading. A small picture of a Nike Dunk SB or Nike Air Jordans somehow finds its way to the media and the word that spreads on tal.
