A Shovel Kata? Why Not?
I have begun creating shovel techniques. As a starting point, I am using Okinawan techniques that I learned for the bo and eku (boat oar). [...]
Maphilindo Silat, Octopus Series
This week in class we worked the Octopus series from Maphilindo Silat. Maphilindo is the personal Silat style of Guro Dan Inosanto, the famous teacher of Southeast Asian martial arts. [...]
Surprising Crossovers Between Martial Arts

In today's Hapkido in the Park session we worked on a basic Hapkido punch defense that involves a parry and counter punch to the side/stomach. Later we followed that up with an arm bar, elbow strike to the chin, and a take down with a ridge hand to the throat. [...]
