i own the hard bound copy of this book, it was written by an army interrogater and is very useful in understanding the bodies reaction to fear or stress situation ect. he uses a soldier in battle and after capture ect and breaks down the mental state of him the whole way through talking about the lizard brain, fight or flight response ect ect. i found it very informative maybe something you'd like to take a look at. another great article, im blessed to be able to follow your blog.

Re: Do All Martial Artists Love Violence?

sadly there are alot of people who view martial artists as blood thirsty wolfs looking to kill anything that comes near them. another reason its important to keep people unaware of your training i might note

Re: Secret to Developing a Power Punch

in kajukembo, as far as the kicks go, we train to snap it back as quickly as possible. our kicks go out, and then retract even faster. if your sparring with the professor and you leave your foot out for even a moment, it will be caught, you will be on your back, and you will have a heel in your groin. hopefully with a cup on haha. but back to my point there is an extreme emphasize on snapping your kicks back. i only train in kajukembo though so this may be the way all martial arts are taught.

my professor tells us that we pull it back as an elbow strike, but as i study kajukembo which is generally designed to be used against multiple opponents so i guess that makes it a little more....believable? but your right the scenarion is rare where youl be punching someone in the face then smashing someone who just happens to be standing perfectly behind you.

wow, that sounds like an epic journey. the hike leading up to the falls. ive always loved the connection of water to martial arts the flowing between movements trying to be "like water" .in the meditation i do practice, i find warm water, (close to body temperture that is) helpful to slipping deeper into a medatative state, i can see how the cold water falls would be a...attention grabbing experience haha. i hope to make that hike someday. and i look forward to "sensei"'s article regarding the importance of water.

I am new to this site and I really enjoy the articles posted here, i just have a question regarding this article. does anyone here think that its wrong to talk about your martial arts in public, with people that also train in the martial arts?
like, say im having a conversation, with someone that trains in martial arts, but around other people? because me and my friends who train in various martial arts like to discuss our training, the differences ect. but this generally takes place out in public amongst other people.
