The United States has experienced an explosion in the popularity of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Submission Grappling. These are two grappling sports that allow submission holds – movements that force one’s opponent to ‘tap out’ or give up. Unlike wrestling which is a single-season sport, the competitions for BJJ and Grappling are year round. Because of this, many serious wrestling parents consider placing their child into another grappling sport during the off-season but they have concerns…
Not surprisingly, safety is on the minds of the parents. It sounds dangerous to have a child do techniques that require tapping out to signal defeat.

Kids Bodies, Minds and Spirits
The Body is the Easiest and hence the First thing to Improve.
We have all heard the Body, Mind and Spirit talks from both Real Martial Artists and all of the various Hollywood actors in nearly every martial art movie ever made. The reason it is always mentioned is because it is a Fundamental Truth in what we do, no matter what style you learn or teach.
My opinion is that while all three areas have equal importance, I feel the body is the first place to start.
Look at it this way… A smart kid with a strong spirit but a weak body is unlikely to beat a bully in a pushing match.But a strong kid with no focus or spirit when put in the same position may still land that lucky punch and save his bacon.
Of course the other two areas are important but for this article I

As the sport has been growing, more and more women have been getting involved - either as athletes or just casual students looking for a great workout.
Women are fighting regularly and it is entertaining although not as popular yet as men's MMA!

When you learn martial arts online there are a few areas in which you need to ensure that you have good techniques. Things like power and accuracy are some of the attributes you need. However if you develop them in the wrong order long term it can lead to bad habits.
Power
Once where happy with the form and speed of the technique then we can start focus on adding more power to the skill or technique. To hit a target as fast as you can won’t have much effect in a real self defence situation if there is no power in your strikes. To start adding more power focus on bending your knees slightly and digging your toes in the floor, it’s what boxers call sitting down in your technique. To add power into your technique you need to hit targets, a kick shield, focus pad or bag will help

A great deal has been written and said about kicking in today’s age of modern martial artists. Many people who are cross training seem to mainly focus on low Thai kicks because of their effectiveness and they present less risk of being taken to the ground by the grappler.
When it comes to kicking you really have to decide what your purposes are for martial arts home study, it might be that the art you practice in encompasses a lot of kicking. If you are aiming for competition then kicking might be an important element, or you may be hooked on the Kung Fu movies and like all the flamboyant techniques which are generally kicks.
