Parents – do you have a Home Security Plan that lays out protection for your home and what family members should do in case of a major emergency – like a home invasion robbery? If not, it’s a good idea to set one up especially if you have small children.

Whilst reading a post on a martial arts forum I occasionally visit, I found a topic posted by a taekwondo teacher. In it he stated that he expelled a student of his because he refused to spar because of his fear of it. (here)

This is something which I have never heard of before. I have heard many times of students refusing to spar because of there fear of it but expelling them because of it, is something completely new to me.

While technically when it comes to self defense there are “no rules in the street”, there exists a specific set of tactical factors you can not ignore.
In order to maximize your chance of survival, you must consider ALL of these criteria 100% of the time. To do any less will sacrifice your safety and a decrease your chance of success.

Here at MarksTraining.com we shall be starting a new series of articles as of next Monday entitled Lessons from Legends.
As time goes by, occasionally we come across a certain type of fighter. Be it in boxing, MMA, K1 or any other combat sport.

This fighter will not only win most of his fights but will also display something that is rarely seen. Weather it is how they fight, how they train, how they speak outside of the ring/cage/mat, how they behave etc. Something that fans love and something that is talked about for many years.
With the gift of the Internet we are able to research, view and learn something from these great fighters. We are able to adapt to our own system of development in the martial arts, the many lessons that are on offer from these greats of the past and present.
Over the next few weeks we shall be [...]
