Hello everyone.
As you may have noticed I don't really use this blog anymore. However, if you still want to follow what I'm up to, you can follow me on Instagram @steven_kandro . Here I post mostly pictures and videos of my martial arts training, lifting, stretching, you name it.

Fitness
What do you guys do for martial arts fitness? I do a combination of weightlifting and body weight exercizes in high intensity for maximum endurance.
Black belt, or dan, has been a sign of dedication, mental, spiritual, and physical prowess for a little over 100 hundred years. Jigoro Kano wanted something to make his most dedicated students stand out, so he gave them black obis (or belts) so the other students could look up to and respect them....
Question time!
So I haven't really gotten to know you guys. Ask me anything!
Question time!
How do you feel about the "no touch self defense" practitioners. Any thoughts on how they gain students? I can only think they've tricked themselves to believe the bs.
Teachers of this have already been proven to be fakes, but because there are people who love fantasy in martial arts are drawn to it, and seem to truly believe it’s all real, and it affects them through their belief, then they just keep coming for more.
When you believe in something hard enough, your mind may help your body achieve the belief. In this case, that a master is controlling you without even touching you.
There are enough people out there that will not just believe it, but will be drawn to it, because they think it’s something out of legend, myth, etc. and that excites them. They can’t help but be attracted by the “mystery”, and they even fight to defend it from others who don’t believe it. When they see they can’t win, they simply shun others away and isolate themselves.
Who knows how many of these dojo are around, we just don’t see them. It’s not good for them to make themselves available, because it would bring about too many questions that they simply cannot answer, or cannot back up with proof.
Gotta respect their dedication, though. I hope that students of it are at least learning some good values, and becoming better people in their communities, even if it’s through a lie.

Word of mouth really does it. If you're looking for business try facebook
Breaking angles
There are many way to break angles. My favorite method is the sidestep. I use a method similar to the fencing lunge, except I lunge diagonally away from my opponent. This works very well against a straight attack. Strikes that work very well with this version of the sidestep include but are not limited to -hook punches -elbows -round kick/hook kick/Thai shin kick Never counter a straight attack with any attack that comes in from the sides. (Round kicks, elbows, or hook punches) your opponent's straight attack will beat your counter. To counter their straight attack, use another straight attack (preferably one with more reach. If your opponent comes in with a straight punch counter with a front kick.) or counter by breaking an angle. Breaking angles gives you more freedom as your arsenal is wide open.

Krav Maga bitchesss
That’s how you do it! Fuck your “flowery fists and embroidery kicks”. Hit simple, direct, hard and fast. No flashy moves will save your showboating butt, someone forces you to defend yourself or others, you take that motherfucker down.
Reblogged.
Reason #17 I don’t do high kicks. :)
Actually, high kicks are effective when used quickly and in succession. This guy is purely way too sure of himself, using high slow arcs and not retracting his feet back fast enough. This is not the cost of high kicks, this is the cost of not getting in close enough, the cost of bravado, the cost of not retaining a good stance, and the cost of turning your back. My turn for the passive aggressive smiley face :)
Well, given I said it was reason #17, you might ask, “What are the 16 prior reasons?”
Let’s add how the person performing said high kicks has absolutely no concept of proper range. Yeah there are a couple pretty flashy looking heel hook kicks but that’s about it. Anyone well enough educated in just about any style of kickboxing should know not to kick outside of range which the “attacker” is doing. Also let’s not forget the demo enhanced jump the ‘attacker’ is doing when he gets his inner leg kicked. While that’s likely a simulated groin shot this makes this entire thing a whole lot impressive than it really is. If you can hit hard enough and well enough do it. A round kick to the head is hardly ‘flashy’ or ‘fancy’ it works and that’s why its been around for literally thousands of years. Krav Maga is a great fighting system but it’s not the end all be all and you should never look at one gif and say “Oh well so and so MUST be useless.” That’s just ignorance. “Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, and add what is specifically your own.” There is no better quote to describe how one should train. Train for YOU not for the style, or because people THINK one thing is better. I’ve seen damn near every art under the sun clash over and over in the and style matters not, what matters is in refining your tools and keeping an open mind. Be well folks.
Nice study in range!
Nice stop hit!
Point A to point B
If nothing else- always remember that the fastest strike is always the one that follows a straight line. One that travels directly from point a to point b. It does not curve. It does not dance. It does not pull back. It travels straight from it's staring point and smashes into it's target with absolute ferocity and ruthless speed. Always remember that your opponent can pull back and charge their all powerful strike all they want, but a well placed stop hit is all that it takes to stun/stop your opponent.
