The Deadly and Powerful Karate Chop Taught by World Kickboxing Champion John Graden

The chop has long been the staple image in Hollywood for the martial arts. Austin Powers called it a “Judo Chop” and Jethro Bodine thought it was like a pork chop that he could eat. In truth, as silly as it has been portrayed, the chop is indeed a powerful blow. Whether you are doing kung fu, karate, tae kwon do, kickboxing, maa, kenpo, ninjitsu, or wing chun, the chop is a powerful strike.

Karate Kid 1984 part 2 full length

High school senior Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) moves with his mother (Randee Heller) from Newark, New Jersey to Reseda, a neighborhood in the San

Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California. Their apartment’s handyman is an odd but kindly and humble Okinawan immigrant named Mr. Miyagi (Pat

Morita).
Daniel meets Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue), a high school cheerleader, but earns the enmity of her ex-boyfriend, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), a karate student.

Johnny is the best student at the Cobra Kai dojo, where he is taught an unethical, vicious form of martial arts. Daniel knows some karate from books, and from a few

months’ experience at the YMCA, but is the victim of repeated beatings from Johnny and his friends.
When Miyagi witnesses one of the beatings, he intervenes and defeats all five Cobra Kai with ease. Awed, Daniel asks Miyagi to be his teacher. Miyagi refuses, but

agrees to go with Daniel to the Cobra Kai dojo in order to resolve the conflict. They confront the sensei, John Kreese (Martin Kove), an ex-Special Forces Vietnam

Veteran who sneers at the concepts of mercy and restraint. Kreese and Miyagi agree to a match between Johnny and Daniel in two months’ time at the “All Valley

Karate Tournament”, where Cobra Kai students can fight Daniel on equal terms. Miyagi also requests that the bullying stop while Daniel trains. Kreese orders his

students to leave Daniel alone, but threatens that if Daniel does not show up for the tournament, the harassment will resume and Miyagi will also become a

target.Miyagi becomes Daniel’s teacher and, slowly, a surrogate father figure. He begins Daniel’s training by having him perform laborious chores such as waxing

cars, sanding a wooden floor, painting a fence, and refinishing Miyagi’s house. Each chore is accompanied with a specific movement, such as

clockwise/counter-clockwise hand motions. Daniel eventually feels frustrated, believing he has learned nothing of karate. When he expresses his frustration, Miyagi

reveals that Daniel has been learning defensive blocks through muscle memory learned by performing the chores.

How To Improve Flexibility for Martial Arts by Stretching by Black Belt World Champion John Graden

http://www.MartialArtsTeachers.com http://www.MartialArtsSchoolOwners.com http://www.JohnGraden.com
“Hi, everybody. I’m John Graden for the Martial Arts Teachers Association. Boy, I tell you what, when it comes to martial arts, there is an area of a lot of misinformation that has to do with stretching. Number one, first off, this is the twenty-first century. Regardless if you are doing tae kwon do, karate, kickboxing, mma, kenpo or any other striking art, a lot of the stretches we inherited go back decades and we know a lot better now about how to stretch. Number one, martial arts stretching is part of the workout and cool down. It’s not part of the warm up. The warm up is meant to get the big muscles warm, blood flowing so then when we do stretch and kick, we don’t pull a muscle and damage ourselves. So, stretching typically, is most effective at the end of class when the muscles are really tired and not resisting. Second thing, here’s some of the stretches that I was raised with, and I certainly hope you’re not doing it at your school. We would do things like the high foreleg raise and you’d swing your leg up and it was very easy to blow out a hamstring. We did the high side leg raise and we’d raise our legs this way and it was just archaic, ancient stretching. So, we’ve done a lot of research and here are some stretches that we know work for martial arts. This is a simple routine that I like to do with my students. I start in a horse stance and I’m going to take my forearms, push them against my knee. I’m trying to get my hips just to open up and relax right now. I might do some dynamic stretching, which is not bouncing like ballistic. That would be real hard. Very simple motions. Then from here, my hands go to the ground and I’m going to go and turn sideways for this, so I don’t lean on the microphone, into a mini split. I’m just going to rock back and forth. Again, I’m opening my hips. I want a straight line between my knee, my rear end and my other knee. I’m not sitting back. I’m not sitting forward, but I can kind of rock a little bit. Next, from this position, I extend a side kick and then I roll into the side kick. Again, keeping a straight line from the knee, over the hips into the leg. I’m rolling into my side kick. Then, I go back to my mini split. And then, I’ll do the other leg. And then, with my advanced students, we would push into a full split, using the arms for support. And the key here is that you will — I’m going to come up now — you will naturally guard against the stretch. What does that mean? When you feel the discomfort of the stretch, your body instinctively tightens up a little bit. You’ve got to mentally override that and relax. You have to mentally override that and, what I call, receive the stretch. So, those are some great ideas for martial arts stretching. I’m John Graden for the Martial Arts Teachers Association. Thanks.”
