Arnis Workout, UFC 98, Mid May News Letter

Had a great Arnis workout with Josh, John and Richard Higgins from American Martial Arts. We just practiced several Arnis drills and worked exclusively on technique. Am looking forward to UFC 98 and am pulling for Machida to show his "karate" skills. Watched the pre fight special on Spike - wonderful show. Comments were made as to Rashad Evans stepping into a kick and punching helped him defeat previous opponents. I picked up on this as I have been teaching for years "step into/jam a kick", this gets you inside and sets up you up for hand combinations. Will see if this happens in the fight. As to my use of the front kick, there is a Muay Thai fight show called "Fight Girls" and what do you think the girls scored with a lot? The front kick! If you got my mid May News letter you got a lot of good info on character, nutrition, Kenpo Self Defense and workout tips from my web site MMAProfitness, if you missed it please sign up for the next letter due out in mid June. All the best Coach Martin. PS the first of my sport karate series is up with Randall. You can watch at www.karatetrainingcenters.com
