Great experience yesterday, training for the first time at a Shaolin School. I learned a lot, but most importantly, I could understand better how to work for a better balance while kicking, how to understand distance management whith strikes better, and how work to have a better flexibilty.
I also liked the fitness part a lot, it was a good training session.

Many people tui shou without first realising “song”. The burden of the stiffness and tension in their own bodies slow them down and make them unable to respond quickly. Train “song” until you are able to respond and neutralise at will and nobody can “hit” you. Training the form is solo practice. Tuishou is partner training. The same “song” must be applied, not strength. It is not fighting. The standard and level of “song” is within your own body.

After not working on my Chinese Boxing and Taekwondo footwork for many months, I am retaking my training.
I find it hard to motivate myself to train, after so long being absent🙏.
Taekwondo
More Dan-Gun, with Bao Yuan Shou Yi, Junbi, and turtle movement in the end. Loved it!
Let's go with Dan- Gun Tul today!
I know that my stances in some positions are not exactly like the professors teach them, it is because I am feeling the right balance and the structure in that position for my body, so I sometimes change them. Therefore, I choose the stance that I feel more balanced and comfortable for a continuity of a movement, such as a strike, counter attack, sweep, dodge, block. I am looking for structure and fluency, movement and power, balance and timing.
Today at the park I felt like connecting with myself.

Very interesting forms applications.
Muy interesante aplicación de formas de Taekwondo.
Instituto Dominicano de Taekwondo Club Los Prados- ITF.
I think that Taekwondo should start emphasizing more on close distance combat, the principles of blocking, knees and arms' strikes ( backfist strikes, uppercut, hooks, elbows) in the beginning of the student's life, and from there go to Ap-Shagui, following with Mireo-Shagui, Jab, and cross, and then the whole curriculum.
While the student along his career is developing his Taekwondo knowledge, arms' strikes and close combat work should be a priority too.
Then, when getting into a black belt level, mastering these moves and techniques is the "real life Taekwondo," and not just the "tournament life Taekwondo."

This week I had the honor to visit and my friend 's Brazilian Jiujitsu Academy.
After 90 minutes of training today, Dario caught me off guard sitting me in front of his students. He asked me very interesting questions about martial arts, and the connection of the topics we were talking about, to the art of Jiujitsu.
Dario also let me speak about the spirituality and the mind part of Jiujitsu and the Martial arts, which when I speak about the art of Jiujitsu, I always make reference to the Gracie Family's discipline, mindset, and philosophy.
I must say that I was really surprised about the depth of Dario's questions and the discussion in front of his students, and the fact that I felt that my responses and analysis were well received in the group.
One thing that has been on my mind after having this discussion is something I said from the bottom of my heart, that I hadn't even realized until I said it today.
I feel that many Masters and Schools of the art of Brazilian Jiujitsu, especially Master Rickson Gracie, have been working hard lately on educating more and more about the discipline, the real philosophy, and the spirituality part that belongs to the art, which is not entirely well known, understood, or applied in many Jiujitsu schools nowadays, that just train for fun, to get a work out, or train just to compete in the art, not even for self defense.
Like Master Rickson said, this is a Combat Sport, but it is also a Martial Art, and a way of life, and according to what he said, I also understood that Jiujitsu has discipline, values, respect, and a martial morality that must be present, not only inside the Academies, but also inside a real Jiujitsu practitioner.
Brazilian Jiujitsu Academies could, should, and must work harder to get better discipline, philosophy, and understanding of the mind, body, and the spirit connection to our every day life activities, and our personalities. It is a way of life, not only a Combat Sport, that works as an educational art for men and women, that must be guided by more martial principles and respect, not only as a sport.

Rickson Gracie: "...the Vale Tudo Guard is not present in maybe the 95% of the Jiujitsu Fighters today."
Joe Rogan: "What specifically do you mean by the Vale Tudo Guard?"
Rickson Gracie: "...because if I don't have a Vale Tudo Guard, I don't know how to deal with somebody that wants to punch me."
Joe Rogan: "...or headbutt.."
Rickson Gracie: "...or headbutt, or elbows, or striking...getting into a position to hurt me..."

Last Sunday was a very special day for the Jiujitsu in the Dominican Republic. Thanks to Academia de la Costa , Master Abraham Tabar, Basicobjj, Dash Bjj, Kosen Dojo , Matsunaga Dojo, and Uasd Bjj for this beautiful day.
We needed it! We needed to get together and celebrate this as one. We must do this more!
Seeing the real Jiujitsu system that we grew up with, being shown to new students, no matter age, ethnicity, or social status, in front of all these brothers, was an epic moment.
We need more days like this.
It was also beautiful to have many different masters of other martial arts, getting together as one, due to one common denominator...Jiujitsu.
I congratulate Dario Soñé for finally getting his black belt, and the other practitioners that were also promoted.
The most beautiful thing for me is to combine all the other arts that we study, with Jiujitsu.

So, it is 3:21 AM, I fell asleep from 9PM to 1AM. I now can't sleep. I decided to read one of the many great books that I have, which I hadn't even started reading yet.
After 2 hours of reading, in one of its paragraphs, it says:
"Merely to survive, Assassins training was an accomplishment. Initiates were taught, not only physical disciplines and killing craft, but also mental discipline, designed to focus the mind, which were mental gymnastics similar to Hindu Yoga and meditation."
"Assassin! Dr.Haha Lung, 1997."

Entrando en Combate.-
En Chinese Boxing, al término "Pelea" ó "Sparring" le llamamos "Combate."
En el momento, hemos empezado a trabajar combate suave.
Creemos en lo suave, en lo fluido, en la armonía, para ir subiendo fuertes y duros.
Por tanto, los combates los trabajamos mayormente en intensidad suave y media, cuando a los equipos les damos duro y extremandamente duro.
El Mouth- Guard, Peto o Pechera, cascos de Kickboxing, Taekwondo o Boxeo, guantes de MMA y de Boxeo de 16 ó 14 Onzas, vendas para muñecas, espinilleras y/o botas de Kickboxing, son equipos que utilizamos para nuestra protección.
El Chinese Boxing posee 12 desplazamientos.
El Chinese Boxing posee derribos.
EL Chinese Boxing posee trabajo de luxaciones, y golpeo con codos, cuerpo completo y rodillas.
Sin embargo, los combates los dividimos de las siguientes maneras:
Solo usando manos.
Usando manos y derribos.
Solo usando piernas.
Usando piernas y derribos.
Libre (piernas, manos y derribos).
En cuanto a codos, rodillas y luxaciones; esta parte solo la trabajamos en ejercicios simulados con compañeros, y ejecutando esta parte de golpes en equipos, no en prácticas de combate con compañeros, ya que son de altos riesgos, y dificil de no lesionar al oponente al ejecutarlos libremente.
Insccripciones abiertas.
