I have been a member of the Kukkiwon for a few years and as I prepare for my 2nd Degree black belt I found myself watching this demo from the Korean National team.

This video shows the talent and the discipline that it takes to be a black belt in TaeKwondo.    

Enjoy.

The Secret Ninja Home Workout

3/4/2013

I regularly workout at home and one of  my favourite ways to do this is to do tabata rounds.   

There is a great video below that gives you a great way to get in a workout with a backpack and several bags of rice.    

You can follow along and do the same basic exercises and you add to the difficulty by adding more weight, or more reps.   

Here is what I do for my home workouts:

  • Tabata Style (8 Rounds for 20 seconds, with a 10 second break between reps)
  • I split it up and do with one exercise I like, and one exercise I hate 
  • Try to exercise good form
  • I will do 2 - 3 Tabata Rounds on my days off targetting a set of major muscle groups


So for example today I am doing 3 tabata rounds with a two min break between rounds.   (20 min workout)

  • Round #1 - Wide Grip Push Ups, and Bicycle Crunches (20 sec push up, 10 sec break, 20 second Bicycle Crunches, 10 sec break) repeat 4 times in a row...this should last 4 min
  • Round # 2 - Iso Squats with a Plate, and Mountain Climbers (20 sec Squats, 10 sec break, 20 second Mountain Climbers, 10 sec break) repeat 4 times in a row...this should last 4 min
  • Round #3 - Pull Ups on the Bar, Knee ups on the Bar (20 sec Pull Ups, 10 sec break, 20 second Hanging knee ups on bar, 10 sec break) repeat 4 times in a row...this should last 4 min


Go for quality over quantity, use a timer or an APP on your Ipad to count down to 20 and give you the 10 secon break warning...record per round how many quality reps you can do, and set a goal to try and beat it by one everyday.

Enjoy this Ninja Workout....

Uriah Hall Pro Fighter Montage (Tiger Schulmann's Fight Team) - The Ultimate Fighter Amazing KO

One of the most incredible KO's in the UFC's reality TV Series called the TUF or the The Ultimate Fighter...came from the hands of a talented Striker named Uriah Hall.    

You can watch the fight below, and see how this unfolded...

I have long said that the MMA Striking is evolving, where some of the more traditional striking arts such as TaeKwondo, Karate, Capoeira and Kung Fu are starting to really make their way into the Octagon.   

One of my favourite things to do is kicking, its also one of the toughest things to master...and what knocks people out.

In the last few seconds of this fight below you will see how fast a fight can end, from a highly skilled Martial Artist delivering a lightening fast kick....

Should Anderson Silva Make a Run at Light Heavyweight Title?   Dana White Thinks He Should!

2/1/2013

UFC middleweight kingpin Anderson “The Spider” Silva is expected to return this spring to defend his 185-pound title, but UFC President Dana White would like to see Silva make a run in the light heavyweight division.

“I’d love to see Anderson at 205,” said White at the UFC 156 media day on Thursday.  “If Anderson moved up to 205-pounds, it would be so fun.  I mean, people would go crazy over that, if he started to work his way up in the 205-pound division, take on a number one contender and if he wins he fights for the title.”


Silva has fought as a light heavyweight three times in his career, racking up first-round finishes over James Irvin, Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar, but Silva has shown no interest in making a run at the UFC light heavyweight title.

On a media conference call prior to his last fight in October, Silva said he won’t make the move to light heavyweight.

“There’s always been a lot of talk about me moving up to 205,” said Silva, “I know Dana (White) has talked about it and all the fans have talked about me moving up and facing Jon Jones. But it’s something I’ve never wanted.”

While it seems unlikely that Silva will abandon the middleweight division to pursue light heavyweight gold, White believes a super fight between Silva and Jones is a possibility.

“What we’re looking at is probably a super fight with him (Silva) and Jon Jones or something, eventually,” said White.

Silva is currently in contract negotiations with the UFC and is targeting a spring return to the Octagon, but who his opponent will be is not clear.  Chris Weidman and Rashad Evans appear to be the front runners.
