The following saying has incredible importance for a True Martial Artist. “There are five trees in paradise and they do not change, winter nor spring, and their leaves don’t fall. Whoever knows these trees will not experience death.”
Much of building the power to hit hard is being skilled at whatever martial style you practice. That being said, all styles rely on the same base of power generation to hit hard. It all starts with the hips, relaxed movement for speed and powerful tension at the follow through for delivering the most impactful blow. This is true for boxing, or Kung Fu or karate styles or Muay Thai or Russian Systema which uses a circular “power slap” kind of a blow. All power is transferred from the feet up through the legs, hips, back and abs.

It’s up to you to become technically skilled at whatever style of hitting you use to make the most of it.

The background of the hand held stun gun fascinated me ever since my co-worker showed me the one that she had. I desired to research on what can make it successful against criminals and why a lot of individuals are choosing it as their defense weapon. Some law enforcers even carry one of their very own when they make their rounds.
This is my personal review of the Floro Fighting Systems Edged Weapon Instruction Course. The course is divided up into five video lessons, each lesson presenting certain aspects of the knife fighting system uniquely developed by Ray Floro. Ray Floro is both a master in the Filipino Martial Art of Escrima, and also a fencing champion in the Italian style. His knife fighting technology has received praises and commendations from professional martial artists, law enforcement and military personnel worldwide. But is his knife fighting system really that good?
So we just downloaded the Ray Floro knife fighting video course. Ray Floro has been acclaimed as one of the best knife fighting masters alive today, and we just had to check if there was substance to the claims and not just pure hype.
