From the earliest silver screen karate fights in films like “The Man With The Golden Arm” to “Austin Powers” karate chop has long been a Hollywood symbol of the eastern martial arts. In this short video, World Champion John Graden shows exactly how the chop works and why it works so well.

Most martial artists, depending on the style of martial arts, must master various kicking techniques. Martial arts kicks offer martial arts competitors the ability to score on an opponent. Basic kicks such as the side kick, front kick and push kick are excellent for competition but are very practical for self-defense situations such as a street fight. Learning these basic kicks is fairly easy especially with martial arts tips from a black belt who teaches martial arts instructors how to teach. Learn how to do various martial arts kicks in this free video series featuring World Champion eighth-degree black belt and martial arts instructor John Graden. Graden demonstrates how to do a knee strike, how to do a front kick, how to do a side kick and how to practice these kicks on a kick shield along with self defense escapes, hand strikes for sport and self defense along with workout routines to help keep you motivated for exercise.

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.

This book is massive! It covers my back story , and how I got in the martial arts, my struggles with health problems, commentaries on religion, racism, MMA, nutrition, injuries, and how martial arts relates to all of these things. If your a fan of martial arts, and you loved Bruce Lee’s books, or your a fan of the “Jeet Kune Do” mentality, I think you will enjoy this publication. Its not a “dry” history book…this book is raw, honest, and personal. Wing chun, xingyiquan, muay thai, MMA, wrestling, tai chi, everyone can benefit from this book!

I would be honored if my martial art brothers and sisters would check out this book.

“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.”
