Russian Martial Arts: June 2012
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 June 2012. I am happy to say I was invited here to write a blog; it is an honour for me to write my thoughts and for you sportsmen and women to read them. First I will run through things I have trained in, some to lesser or greater extent. I should add I have been active for 38 years, I am now aged 46. I began in a type of karate/kung fu called Kong Chang in the 70’s. I then trained in Japanese ju-jitsu and kick boxing. Before I knew where I was I found myself in Russia training and competing&...

Russian Martial Arts: October 2012
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 October 2012. When I was training as long ago as 25 years in 'mixed martial arts' we simply called it 'cross training'. At the time the names in the UFC/Pride and so on came from traditional martial arts, kempo, ju jitsu and so on, same as myself and comrades. We cross trained and added to our knowledge, adapted and evolved. We kept our values and training ethics. For example, “ We teach techniques from sambo/bjj and thai, freestyle wrestling. Never trained in sambo at all. It can get you hurt...

Russian Martial Arts: May 2013
http://martialnews-russianmartialarts.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 20 May 2013. The fight for my life. To start I must apologise for my long, long absence. I will tell you the story and how it relates to my beloved Russian All-Round Fighting…. It got to 31st December with no lessoning of the pain, so an operation was decided upon and overnight a six hour operation freed all the adhesions. That evening, and I will spare the details in full, after I strained my stomach to vomit a 40cm scar sealed with staples burst open, with contents bursting out! Shortly after, ...

Black Belt Adventure...: August 2012
http://martialnews-blackbeltadventure.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 15 August 2012. Do you train when you are injured? Should you train when you are injured? Of course it depends to some extent on the nature of the injury and whether surgery or other medical intervention is required to correct it. Well, who hasn’t sustained some kind of injury doing martial arts? Surely if we gave up a physical activity every time we were injured we would soon become a world of couch potatoes. Being prepared to risk physical injury and endure the pain of it whilst training...

Sunday, 30 September 2012. International Association of RAF welcomes Dave Vickers. I would first like to thank and congratulate David Vickers. Dave is quite well known and has 40 years martial arts experience. He comes from a Thai boxing background and later moved into self protection. He expressed an interest in Russian All-Round Fighting which resulted in many conversations and a two day assessment was arranged. In total, training lasted about 6/7 hours I seem to remember. After two days of very intens...
