Finding the right martial arts program for your
child is important. You want them to find an environment that’s encouraging but also offers an
appropriate level of difficulty and discipline. While many parent’s want their child to learn
important self-defense skills, that’s not the only benefit of a kids karate
martial arts program. A quality kids karate martial arts program will also
teach:
Martial arts training isn’t just throwing on a uniform, tying a belt and hitting the mats. There is an important etiquette and respect that must be given not only to the instructors and your fellow students but the dojo itself.
Proper bowing, sitting, counting and learning the essential commands and language is important when you’re training. In many cases it’s for your safety because we don’t want anyone getting hurt, but it’s also about learning essential discipline for your training that can also be carried over into your everyday life.

In a previous post we took a look at how Iaido’s “Downward Cut” training drills could help improve your technique and strength for men and women fitness in Ann Arbor. In this post we’re doing a follow-up and showing how practicing a couple of different Iaido moves with resistance bands can help you improve strength and technique at the same time.
First: Nukitsuke
This is the very important motions in drawing your sword or bokken during Iaido training. Watch this video to see two very important techniques for both the right and left side of your body that not only help you clear your scabbard but also cleanly draw your sword using strength and power instead of joint reflexes.
Second: The Overhead Block
This next move is a sort of follow-up move you can do after the Nukitsuke. Again, it revolves around using strength and power with strong follow through to empower your movements and not simply using shoulder and elbow joint movements.
Are you looking for classes that teach techniques for self-defense in Ann Arbor? At Japanese
Martial Arts Center, we offer specialized training in Judo, Karate, and
traditional Nihon Jujutsu that encompass real-world self-defense techniques as well as personal
development.
Many Ann Arbor self-defense classes
only teach the basic moves, strikes, punches, or kicks but they lack the mental
approach that readies you for conflict situations. The physical attack response
should always be the last resort, but with regular martial arts training at
JMAC, we help you develop ways of deescalating and avoiding situations that
could potentially be harmful.

Iaido is a combination of balance and focus – but also involves a lot of strength training moves to help your technique develop. The downward cut is an important movement that can be improved using a simple set of resistance bands.
If you’re eatingthe right foods and maintaining your training, you should quickly experience some impressive physical results. Click Here to learn more about how different Iaido strength drills can improve your overall fitness!

Programmer. Web Developer. Japanese Martial Arts Center
Instructor!
Dan Holland Sensei is our featured I Am JMAC profile of the
month. If you train with Dan, you may know a bit about him already, but for
those who haven’t had the chance to yet, take a moment and learn how he got
into martial arts training and what lead him to becoming one of our instructors
here at JMAC!
At Japanese Martial Arts Center, self-defense for women and
men goes beyond learning simple and common punching and kicking techniques. Learning
the various strikes and throws is one thing, but getting into a mindset is
another game entirely.
Nihon Jujutsu
allows you to not only learn traditional martial arts fighting techniques, but
it allows you to train and discipline your mind. Our goal is to train a
complete individual not just with the physical stuff but offer an amount of
personal development that is essential for any threatening situation.
Remember, it’s not just about knowing what to do in a fight
but knowing that a fight isn’t always necessary. The best way to end a conflict
is to defuse it before it even begins. Fisticuffs shouldn’t be your first
solution – it should be the absolute last resolve when all other avenues for a
safe, calm, resolution have been exhausted and there is literally no other
option left.

As many of
you know, I constantly explore new personal development and achievement
tools. Over the years I’ve found exceptional techniques and principles that
have helped me and the people I coach – now I want to share them with you!
Wouldn’t
it Be Helpful to Resolve Your Self-Doubt?
I’ve grappled with some of these feelings myself. When my
businesses struggle, I sometimes feel that I’m not good enough to get to the
next level. Even when I know what tactics I need, I get push-back from that
inside voice, questioning whether I have what it takes or even – in the dark of
night – If I deserve to be successful.
To solve this struggle for myself and for the people I help, I’ve
studied how to give myself permission to live up to my potential. That’s helped
me learn a lot about how to help other people give themselves permission.
Wouldn’t it Be Great to Experience a Day
of Energy, Support, and Permission?
PERMISSION–THE
EVENT is a day of support, energy, music, hugs, cheering, meditation
and learning. It’s about making sure you know that the world approves of you
and the life you want to live. You’ll get powerful support for your dream of an
authentic, fulfilling, spectacular life. You get frameworks for prioritizing
your tactical stuff!
It's going to be an
amazing day that I hope will change the way you view your world
forever. Our next event is Saturday, March 30, 2019, at Weber's Boutique
Hotel in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I can't wait to party with you there!CLICK HEREto learn more about Permission!
