Gligorovic Martial Arts

Wang Yu was my first Kung Fu teacher. I used to watch his movies 2-3 times in one sitting. In the old days you could stay as long as you wanted to at the show. I'd watch his moves and practice everything over and over again. You couldn't learn Kung Fu back in those days in the U.S. except through the movies. I've got so much more to add to this. But that's for another time...

People always ask me what makes a great Martial Artist? The answer is simple, just like anything else in this world if you want it bad enough you have to work at it, practice, practice, practice. There is no easy way. you can't cut corners, there is no pill or drink that'll make you good over night. You don't have to have a million moves in your arsenal, just a few that you've mastered by doing them repetitiously. Like we say in Wing Chun, if you have to think about your next move you already lost. If you naturally react, you'll always be one step ahead of your rival.

Reality of Fighting
In our modern times there is a huge and dangerous misunderstanding about how a "real fight" looks or develops. Most guys think of a duel like sparring rumble, which is a life threatening luxury to dream about. Most guys also think, that MMA is as close as a simulation to real fighting as it gets. Again dead wrong. MMA is a game, where 2 players try to win within a set of rules. Both know exactly when it happens and both know they will be able to walk home later (probably). A real fight is when you literally have to defend your life or the life of loved ones. It mostly happens out of the blue and you will be caught by surprise, even probably get hit and start the fight with a disadvantage. There are no bells, no rules, no breaks, no tapping out and no judges and most likely the odds will be against you. If you have to fight for selfdefense you will need a totally different mindset, training regime and tactical approach as opposed to training for competitive sports fighting-or you are done. Two different worlds, really. Not to be honest with students about this is misleading, irresponsible and dangerous. Take care, peace.

If you are bullied in any way and can't afford self defense classes, I will teach you for free. This is for people that seriously need it.

The word martial means warlike... martial arts were created and designed for combat situations. To maim or kill your opponent WAS THE INTENT. Over the years martial arts have become watered down for MAINSTREAM MEDIA sports and the arena. To do that IT WAS NECESSARY to take the martial OUT from the arts IN ORDER TO CREATE A MORE MEDIA FRIENDLY AND POLITICALLY CORRECT ENVIRONMENT. So IN EFFECT THEY HAVE taken a self defense art and made it a PASSIVE FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT art.

Tae Kwon Do used to have only six belts, white, yellow, green, blue, brown, and black. RECENTLY they have added gold orange, purple, black with red, and red. MY QUESTION IS WHY? IS IT To get more money from STUDENTS IN THE LONG RUN for THIS NEW VERSION OF A watered down art? It should take at least 5 years to become a black belt now they're doing it in 2. That's just using one art as an example HOWEVER SADLY all of them have BECOME commercialized. Very few schools still teach the true MARTIAL art. people TODAY ARE REFERRING TO a lot of MARTIAL ARTS schools McDojos WHICH IS JUST really sad. No one is researching any school anymore before taking up an art.

Dojos and Kwoons are houses of discipline, WITH EACH DESERVING respect. Now people are in CLASS talking to each other, talking on their cell phones, students walking around in their gi's and uniforms in public. No respect whatsoever EXISTS FOR THE MARTIAL ARTS. In my day WE folded OUR gi with OUR belt holding it together and throwING over OUR shoulder. WE didn't tell the world that WE trained in an art. IT WAS A VERY PERSONAL AND PRIVATE STUDY OF AN ANCIENT TRADITION IN WHICH WE TOOK GREAT PRIDE. WE WERE NOT LOOKING FOR PUBLICITY OR OUTSIDE APPROVAL FROM ANYONE. THIS TRADITION SHOULD BE RESPECTED AND FOLLOWED TODAY. This is just my opinion... Dan Gligorovic
