Could Bruce Lee be beaten by Brad Pitt's character (Cliff Booth)?
When I went to watch "Once upon a time in Hollywood", I was already aware of the controversy about the "sketched" fight between Bruce Lee (played by Mike Moh) and Cliff Booth (an old stuntman, played by Brad Pitt) but I never expected to find what I saw...
Let's go in order. I have seen:
A poor story - Especially in the first part, the movie is slow, full of dead times and "with little to communicate" (as a friend of mine said...

A small premise
In this article we want to talk about the purely martial difference between ancient and modern Shaolin monks but before starting, t is important to stress that:
Our school appreciates all kinds of (serious) martial art's approach (the more "bellicose" ones, the more "aesthetic" ones, the more "introspective" ones, etc.)We respect and promote today's Shaolin monks (for their work of sharing) as well as we exalt the ancient ones (for their discipline and hard training)We do not j...

The core concepts of combat mobility
After having understood the importance of balance, you have to start to learn how to connect it to the spatial movement in the combat scenario.
Before passing to the specific types of footwork of our style, let's start from a few simple but fundamental concepts.
Effectiveness
Balance - Each step must be balanced (head, trunk, limbs, etc.), while you move you must always be ready at the same time to attack and defend (eg. the guard must remain up)
No load...

Self-defense simulations
The most important things we must understand about self-defense simulations is that:
They make sense and are useful only if accompanied by a serious daily training (read How to start practicing from scratch), they are completely useless on their own (read Why martial arts do not work: 5 reasons)
No artificial situation can even vaguely approach the level of stress, surprise and complexity of a real scenario (read [restrict]The basics of self-defense[/restrict])

The warrior's breathing (Ujjayi Pranayama)
In this article we want to deepen the often quoted "warrior's breathing", or "Ujjayi Pranayama" (as they call it in Yoga, the source of our inspiration for this method):
Some think that these words mean "breath of the victorious" due to the involved proud expansion of the chest
According to others, the term derives instead from the prefix "ud" (raise) joined to the word "jaya" (a form of Indian greeting) and means "what is expressed aloud"
