Two new posts to the site!

The future has been shown to us! I put up some video of our future Grand Master of Anjing Banfa... Take a peek!

and I put up my "How to choose a blade" presentation that is on the knife-on-knife 3 DVD set. My marketing director thought I was nuts to do this as this is for purchase in the 3 DVD knife set, but I won out over the argument. I think it is important that the consumer can see some of what they are purchasing.

As you can see, there are also 2 other techniques from the 3 DVD knife on knife set, these can be found at:

I was having a discussion yesterday with a martial artist back East, and we were discussing knife blocks. I feel that Gliding X blocks with a turn out of the way of the attack are always best. I reminded them to look at the four weapons laws:

1) Clear the angle of the attack of the weapon
2) Control the weapon
3) Neutralize the weapon
4) Neutralize the attacker

Look at all knife defensive moves with these in mind. For example, a knife defense that you attack the upper arm of the attacking arm, and then pass this arm/blade across you to gain access to the flank side of the attacker violates rule 1. Think of a knife as a gun: would you flag yourself with a gun? I think not, so why put yourself in harms way with a blade; as to pass it in front of you regardless if you think you have it controlled or not, just to risky. On the other hand, if you had attacked the lower arm with your blade, during the block, you now have attacked the muscles that allow the blade to be held in the hand. 99.99% of the time the attacker can not hold onto the weapon at all, now that one attack spot has moved you to step 4 immediately.

I encourage all of us to look at technique with an eye to see if it "Passes the idiot test or not".


Enjoy!

New stuff

Well.. its not that much but the members only page works now. Also, I would like to provide contact information for the black belts, so those that can provide me some.. please do so. I would like each one of you to have a bio page that his contact info goes on. Just last night on a interactive podcast I needed for this group to come over and find Greg McFall's contact info for his surfing connection...but we didn't have it... so, hey guys.. lets get emails to me...

Also we got a great review of the defenders from Allen of Gallowglass Academy... check it out:

As you can see I have been very busy putting up video! I want to make this site what it was once; a learning center for martial artists. Not only us Anjing Banfaests, but all those who have the warrior inside them. We are going to be bringing on other site connections like http://asksensei.blip.tv where we can use their band width for serving video, as I do with the Crazy Rulers video. I am really pushing video these days but martial arts school owners can use PDFs to communicate with their students, too. I also think a site like anjingbanfa.com can help school owners get more clients who are outside their "5 mile" radius! It can be used to expand your sales and profits, your teachings, and support of the giving the bad guys the bad day!

As some of you know I was an integral part of Martial Arts America, as a contributor in several of the teaching manuals. Especially on the "How to teach Children" in martial arts. I was also the first dean of the first martial arts university... although it closed its doors.. it was fun to be the first there and really open the students eyes to teaching the arts.

I have been in the arts for over 48 years now and have see the old school, the commercial school, and the ugly school! I know how to teach the arts... to any person, any age, any where, and under any conditions. That I know how to do because teaching needs to have only two things connected.. fun and learning. You do that, the rest is easy!

More on that later.. I am also adding individual master pages to those who want them... and teaching black belts, so watch for those. I am also converting all our stuff for ipod use, as well.

Anyway more later.. Master Brusso

Our new url: http://www.anjingbanfa.com

Yes.. I finally did it! I got our art names URL.. http://www.anjingbanfa.com and wow, is it structuring up nice. I am uploading everyday to it and will be adding new content every week that I can! This week alone we got up full video on the black belt test 2006, a 54 minute highlight of the event, the brotherhood of the blade (defenders video) where Kerry Sensei was teaching the defenders at the event, and I added downloads of many of my popular DVDs plus programs. We even have warrior music and our famous senseihood CD ROM disk for download. We are moving on to women's self defense topics, knife throwing, axe throwing, and home made martial arts training equipment. I will use this blog to update the uses of the site, as to what is new.. so will link over to it... I am very excited about the new site as it allows me to really teach from long distance via the streaming video, download PDF's with security, and the paypal system for sales. Hey, everyone, this site costs me money so purchase or donate to the site to help offset the costs, ok! I will be putting a "donate" button on the site so if you like the free content.. want to keep that going, then donate... It's simple and goes to a good cause.

Also we are going to be working a "kit" plans for knife throwing targets, you purchase the kit and we ship to you, you construct your knife target.. but I will have more details on the site.
