I’ve added the new video above, along with a page with more explanation here: Wing Chun Trapping.  I think the video turned out well, but may give the impression that I think trapping has less application than I actually do.  In the coming days I’ll add more techniques to the Wing Chun page along with additional applications of trapping.

I’ve been meaning to post for months now, but haven’t had the time recently.  Last week I was able to film a couple of videos, one on Pekiti Tirsia Knife Tapping and another on wing chun trapping and boxing.  I’ve just put the PT video up, which you can access from the previous link, and in the next few days I’ll get another up on wing chun and boxing.  Let me know what you think.

I’ve added a new major category on the clinch to the website. Originally I couldn’t decide whether this should be divided up in sections on Greco-Roman wrestling, wrestling, Thai boxing, and Brazilian jiu jitsu, or have a its own category, but I figured it would be best all together.

Today I’ve added 4 new pages with pictures and explanations of boxing techniques: the jab, catch, shoulder roll, and drop. Links to these new pages can be found on the Boxing Techniques and Training page. Check back soon for more to come.

I’ve just added a new video on sumbrada, along with pictures and a description of how to do the drill correctly. Sumbrada, along with hubud and other pre-arranged patterns, trapping, etc., has been the subject of much controversy over the years. In 2000 I had a long argument on the old Inosanto forum, and another in 2002 on the old MMA.TV forum with Burton Richardson and Matt Thornton in which Marc Denny (Crafty Dog) also chimed in. Actually, most of the video I’ve posted above comes from a DVD I made to send Denny in 2002 after the MMA.TV discussion. Click here to read more »

I’ve added several new videos to the Filipino martial arts technique section today, along with a video on an FMA technique that can be applied to mixed martial arts.  The majority of MMA practitioners train techniques from boxing, Thai boxing, wrestling, and BJJ, but very few explore techniques from systems like pekiti tirsia, wing chun, and silat.  By integrating techniques from lesser known styles into efficient training methods an MMA practitioner can gain a significant advantage.

I’ve added several new self defense technique series to the main site that revolve around what we call the Fundamental Five. The Fundamental Five is a combination of strategies and techniques that provide default responses to various threats, from striking attacks to take down attempts.

Next on my list is to add video to the training section along with technique series on empty hand vs. weapon attacks. Please leave any suggestions for what you’d like to see in the comments…
