The 3 fundamental technical exercises
Fabric Cloth training, Hanging Speedball training and Poles training: each of these exercises has different and specific goal but they have also some common points.
1. What are the common points?
These are the key reasons why it is extremely important to perform these exercises:
You can express yourself at the highest possible level - You can hit at full power / speed without limiting your capabilities (even in sparring you cannot do it, read The meaning...

The common point of the rigid weapons
The first thing to know about rigid weapons (cutting, impact, etc.) is that, if held in the same way, the biggest part of them have common combat settings:
The sword (eg. the Chinese Jian)
The short stick (that can be also an improper weapon found in a self-defense scenario)
...
All of them (handle excluded), must be divided into 3 parts.
Before continuing: a fundamental warning
Important:

Self-defense: when it works and when not
What is self-defense?
It is something very difficult to teach and to learn, it is the art of self-preservation (read Personal defense: the S.A.F.E. method)
It is not the way to learn to beat someone, it teaches us how to preserve ourselves (nothing more, nothing less)
...
A note by Master Kongling - Some instructors distinguish "self-defense" from "self-preservation": it is a wrong and counterproductive distinction that confuses those who approach th...

Being taller, offers more advantages or disadvantages in terms of combat?
Note - This article has been written to reply to a question of a 6 Dragons Kung Fu Core Course's practitioner (ChumaGora, to participate read From white belt to black belt: your path). Apparently being taller offers only advantages: long arms, long legs, (often) large hands (etc.) but not everything is necessarily as positive as it may seem. In any case, to make a thoughtful speech, it is rather important to make some pre...

Let's start with a completely opened hand
Let's attach our straight fingers one by one

Is it possible to start to train at a high-level from home?
The answer is not easy, because the real problem is another and the perspective is: completely wrong (read also Online learning and martial arts: is it possible?).
The point is that every aspect of martial preparation is fundamental (the perfection is made by the cure of all the details) but if the question is "what is the most important? The one that makes the difference between failure and success?", we must say that:
It is not the...

The primary goal for a beginner
The first goal we have to think of is to learn to train every day. If we are beginners, it is totally wrong to start focusing our efforts on reaching advanced martial skills: it is simply impossible.
If (as many do) we let ourselves be enchanted by the final results instead of pursuing the path: we will inevitably fail because they will not be at our disposal in a few time:
We try
We understand the difficulty
We see that we cannot reach what we want
We leave...

On what occasions does it make sense to hide our presence?
With this tutorial, we continue the topic regarding the stealth techniques related to the invisibility (read Invisibility: hiding in the shadow).
In our S.A.F.E. self-defense method (read Personal defense: the S.A.F.E. method), the third letter of the acronym means for "flee" (leave the threatening scenario) and it is exactly in this context that the idea of hiding takes place.
Not always it is possible to escape to directly reach a c...

What is the perfect guard stance?
The perfect guard stance does not exist, the stances are like any other fighting technique, there are:

Tests to perform (sparring, times of reaction, etc.)
Different contexts of application (read for example A self-defense trick: the secret guard stances, even in the same fight)
Different style of combat (more defensive, aggressive, tactical, etc.)
Different types of fighters (physical / mental charact...

A ridiculously simple exercise to start to build fingers dexterity
