im having issues with my left shoulder lately from weights and bag work and not resting enough

this video explains an exersize that -- some dude on the internet - recomends to help with proper structure when punching

dont know that it would have helped me as much as geting the proper rest between workouts but its an issue to be very minful of

steven seagal has done his very best to convince the world that he is an ego-maniacal jack ass - but this video of him apparently holding a black belt promotion in his back yard, has got some decent stuff in it

From all account he is an ego-maniacal jack ass, but he's also a seriously talented martial artist.

i dont really think this is great, but i dont think there is any great way to deal with a knife
i think its a lousy situation
some people have better ideas than others though, and i think this presents a way of thinking that has a "higher percentage" than some other defenses ive seen

channel called "lawrence kenshin" has got a lot of imo high quality analysis videos

his focus is on striking styles in sport contexts

kenshin has put out several videos doing analysis of Taekwondo vs Muay Thai

here are a couple of the shorter videos, and i think they (and all of his videos really) are worth watching for anyone interested in the principles of effective striking

even if you arent in to bjj or submission grappling, this video has some useful information as it explores the idea of holding someone down to restrain them, like if you want to keep them until the police arrive, or maybe they are drunk or off their meds, and acting out violently

and this video is of a street situation where some of the things in the last video were used to control a guy with a knife
