		<title>Better Living through Martial Arts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed when a high-level Master walks into the room, everyone knows it? Not because there are trumpets blaring and fanfare, but because of the aura around the individual, the quiet projection of power that is almost palpable. This is the most dramatic example of the personal improvement that is the hallmark of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cool Martial Arts Disciplines</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit it, I am a boring martial artist. I can’t do a flip. I do the old forms I learned twenty years ago that have been unchanged forever. I prefer my original black belt that is graying over my flashy one with stripes. I still think a good back fist to the head solves [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Block With Your Face, and Other Secrets&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Martial arts have for centuries hidden secrets inside themselves, in forms and esoteric techniques, and training that the uninitiated are impressed by but can not truly understand. Wisdom is one of the hallmarks of experience in the Arts, partially because our knowledge is earned over decades instead of found in a nano-second on the Internet. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lessons from the Karate Kid</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took my first Tae Kwon Do Class in 1983 at the local Y. This was obviously before I had kids. Or a cell phone. This was pre-MTV. In fact, this was pre- Karate Kid! I had been going to class for about two months when the movie came out, and suddenly instead of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Martial Arts Tournament Calendar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tournaments are a good thing to train for in that they give a target deadline and allow you to benchmark against others as you progress, as well as a way to garner additional respect for your Master and your School by showing your skills.  Also, there is absolutely nothing as cool as going to watch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Martial Arts Kick Ass!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Almost every teenage boy wants to take martial arts for only one reason: to kick ass!  They want to be Jet Li and Steven Segal and have people say that they could last over a millisecond with Chuck Norris.  They want to be able to take down the bullies and get the girl and all [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Favorite Martial Arts Movies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Caveat: I don&#8217;t watch that many movies, as I&#8217;d rather actually be training.  So my list is completely skewed, and that&#8217;s ok.  I&#8217;d really like to see this open up for a debate, but you need to have good rationale behind your movies. And I am limiting them to real acting (term used loosely) as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Secret Fighting Techniques</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having studied with lots of different individuals over two and a half decades, I have been exposed to some pretty esoteric concepts and techniques.  Here are some of the most interesting fighting techniques that I have come across.  I have a buddy who is (ahem) rather portly.  Shaped like a ball.  He has a lot [...]]]></description>

		<title>My School, My Rules</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have seen dojangs and dojos with lists of rules that go on for multiple pages, and that bothers me.  Partially because they feel like they need to lay out all the details and foibles.  Attorneys do not belong in the martial arts because of their need to create complexity where simplicity is better.  As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stressed Out?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over stimulated, over caffeinated, and hyperactive, Americans as a whole are way too stressed out.   This leads to high blood pressure, obesity, and short tempers affecting everything from family situations to business productivity.  But why? One thing is that Americans load up on stress, because to a certain extent it is good.  Challenges get your [...]]]></description>
