Probably the poster child for doing switch hitting right.

Depends more on what you do. Boxers almost never swap stances, there is no need to and the can focus on what they do to an extremely high level. Kickers tend to swap stance all the time as a by product of using back leg kicks. Kickers will tend to try and get back to which ever stance they are...

Short version, you land on your arse if you don't. When you kick against the line of travel by a bag, it has the advantage of inertia against a single point balance. So if you don't counter that inertia with follow through you end up pushing your self over instead of moving the bag. When you...

Forward, backwards, jumping, or sideways, I had to get good at all of them when I was ranking in TKD. Forward always seemed so much easier than backwards, and hard to stop.

Rusty, but I still see all the techniques and most of the applications. So as another Kung-fu person of similiar back ground looks like it is coming back well.

There are ways to deal with hair grabs. You do have to practice and be aware that is a risk like wearing easily grabbed clothes. IF you don't deal with a hair grab when it happens it can against you badly, if you react to it when it happens you can reverse the grab on the attack. If you have...

This is very true. Though some of that is the students not wanting to learn what to do if the "cool stuff" fails. I never understand that mental block. Everyone takes the time to learn and understand what happens if a combo misses, all grapplers learn what to do if submissions gets stopped, but...

Uhm, situps/crunchs actively train one half the muscle groups needed to maintain tight core. By argument they are very good exercise, if you mean situps can have cause problems when done wrong then yes can be harmful.

Everyone always talks about how awesome the fighter is in these clips, but seriously the real beast is the mitt holder. He takes all those strikes like it is just a walk in the park. Do you want to voluntarily take the full force of Yod?

Pretty much the same here. I use the wrap mostly to give me a decent grip inside the glove. I have done so much bareknuckle work that gloves always feel weird.

That is pretty wrist heavy. with that much wrap I would have put about 8 folds just right ontop of the knuckles.

Sounds like you are landing toe first instead of heel first. To fix that try this trick when your knee heels. Find a hard wood or smooth floor surface, place a quarter on the ground. Now come on guard with your front heel on the quarter. Practice the lung by first lifting your toes and then...

You have a slight miss understanding of RoW. It by the was originally implemented as a training technique in the small sword to promote learning to defended and counter. I trained epee, saber, foil, and coached foil. Anyway the trick with right of way is to never let the opponent take it away...

The still makes it look like haymaker.

Second fluffball on this. While I have seen, and have jammed mine, on front kicks it is more an anomaly like breaking your hand punching. Yes it happens, but not near enough to be a real issue. The other option for the front kick to the have is to curl the toes under and use the top of the...

Pretty much you already named it Shadow boxing for inside work. It does build the core.

Not heard of it my self, but at the least Vic seem to very good clean technique. All in all though looks TKD.

Jailhouse/52 is not a terrible system at all. It does suffer from people over selling it with magic tricks. It is a close range, deception based striking system. Sinister can probably pull the names up if you press him, but it has made into the square ring at high levels. It shares defensive...

The Thai's were having to much fun with the guy.
