Russian Martial Arts: June 2012
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 June 2012. I am happy to say I was invited here to write a blog; it is an honour for me to write my thoughts and for you sportsmen and women to read them. First I will run through things I have trained in, some to lesser or greater extent. I should add I have been active for 38 years, I am now aged 46. I began in a type of karate/kung fu called Kong Chang in the 70’s. I then trained in Japanese ju-jitsu and kick boxing. Before I knew where I was I found myself in Russia training and competing&...

Russian Martial Arts: October 2012
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 October 2012. When I was training as long ago as 25 years in 'mixed martial arts' we simply called it 'cross training'. At the time the names in the UFC/Pride and so on came from traditional martial arts, kempo, ju jitsu and so on, same as myself and comrades. We cross trained and added to our knowledge, adapted and evolved. We kept our values and training ethics. For example, “ We teach techniques from sambo/bjj and thai, freestyle wrestling. Never trained in sambo at all. It can get you hurt...

Russian Martial Arts: May 2013
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 May 2013. The fight for my life. To start I must apologise for my long, long absence. I will tell you the story and how it relates to my beloved Russian All-Round Fighting…. It got to 31st December with no lessoning of the pain, so an operation was decided upon and overnight a six hour operation freed all the adhesions. That evening, and I will spare the details in full, after I strained my stomach to vomit a 40cm scar sealed with staples burst open, with contents bursting out! Shortly after, ...

Russian Martial Arts: September 2012
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 30 September 2012. International Association of RAF welcomes Dave Vickers. I would first like to thank and congratulate David Vickers. Dave is quite well known and has 40 years martial arts experience. He comes from a Thai boxing background and later moved into self protection. He expressed an interest in Russian All-Round Fighting which resulted in many conversations and a two day assessment was arranged. In total, training lasted about 6/7 hours I seem to remember. After two days of very intens...

Russian Martial Arts: Try training outdoors....
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2012/07/try-training-outdoors.html
Tuesday, 31 July 2012. This month I would like to talk with you about training …. No matter the style you train in I’m sure most of you train in doors in a gym/ sports hall or rented hall. Depending on your style striking or grappling you will be training on mats or a padded floor. I know many reality based systems that train in such a way and chat about the imagined street conditions or traditional arts that explain what to do if you needed to do this for real. The environment you train is a major facto...
