Bruce Lee's One Inch Punch
A short documentary on the One Inch Punch. Interviews with Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun instructors. Discover more on what Bruce Lee demonstrated years ago. Shot and edited by Victor Tran.

I would like to thank everyone that took the time to view this video. I encourage everyone to be open minded with the on going debate in martial arts. Yes, I would love to see a fight between Bruce Lee and any of the top MMA guys but I rather focus on the fact that martial arts have truly evolved over the years so there’s really no need for who can beat who or what’s better than so and so.

The Essence of Tai Chi Chi Kung

by Yang Jwing Ming

This book provides what so many books touch on, but never really go in-depth into. It provides a detailed viewpoint of the medical side of the martial arts from an Eastern viewpoint.

It talks about where Chi is generated, the medical benefits of stimulating Chi, uses, practice and so much more! The entire book is filled with page after page of knowledge. I have used this book to fill the holes in other books I’ve collected. I would highly recommend this book. It is very informative!

Mark Binder & Morihiro Saito

Mark Binder & Morihiro Saito

Several years ago I had the opportunity to interview Saito Sensei at a seminar.

BINDER: What do you think the most important Aikido technique is?
SAITO: “They’re all very important, but the one that makes people really get good is Shihonage, because you have the way of movement and the way of using weapons in Shihonage. O Sensei used to always say you can never do enough shihonage.”

Q: What is it that makes a strong shihonage?
A: “Kokyho. And the hips.”

Q: Can you explain Kokyho?
A: “You can’t really see it. You can’t really show it.”
