Simple Meditation ExcerciseBefore you try this, print this out. If you have a friend read this to you while in the position, you will find it comes much more naturally, or record a tape where you can play the instructions back to yourself.   
Get in the meditation stance where you cross your feet and sit on the heels of your feet. This is not Indian-style or Lotus Position. You literally sit on the heels of your feet. It is somewhat painful but will strengthen you every time you do this. If it is absolutely uncomfortable you are permitted to sit Indian Style. (This is also a fighting position in some fighting styles that teach you how to fight even while seat Simple Meditation Excercise

Dim Mak for Absolute BeginnersI thought I would write up an article on Dim Mak points for knocking out an opponent so here goes. For those of you who don’t know what Dim mak is, I'll give a quick overview of what it is, It is basicly the Chinese art of Pressure points, known as 'Dim Mak' (Death Touch.) It incorporates stiking to certain points of the body along meridians to cause certain effects.     Okay. Now that you have a basic idea of what I am on about we’ll get to the good stuff: I'll post a few points here that will cause a knockout but shouldn’t do too much more than that. (Sorry guys and gals, but no death points today.)  &n Dim Mak for Absolute Beginners

Developing ChiCondensing Breathing   
1. Preparation   
In a stance that is somewhere between preparation and beginning form, relax your entire body, calm the mind, and gradually begin to do Tai Chi meditation. The eyes look into infinity, the crown point is pushed up and suspended, ears are listening inward, the tongue is rolled toward the back of the mouth with the teeth and lips lightly touching together, the chi is concentrated downward into the tan t'ien (dan tien) and flows smoothly, circulating through the body. Breathing is long, slow, rhythmic, and continuous.   
2. Procedure

Martial ArtsWhat are the Martial Arts?   
"Martial Arts" is not one word, but two separate words. "Martial" means powerful, or warlike. "Arts" means self-expression. Literally speaking, Martial Arts is not merely a highly complex system of fighting techniques; it is an art, just like sculpting, drawing, and painting are arts.   
Just as the different cultures of the world have differing ways of self-expression and art (for example, Ancient Rome's towering colliseums and Egypt's pyramids) they also have differing styles of Martial Art.   
This brings up another question. What are styles?

Salvete, I'd like to join the club.
I've practiced a bit of Limalama, Kali, and the philosophy known as Jeet Kune Do (for lack of better name for JKD). I've been practicing on and off (mostly off) for roughly 5 years now and am currently a blue belt in limalama.

Hey-low! My name is Steph and I am now learning Tai Chi, Yang 24 and various Qigong. I also enjoy reading the Tao Te Ching and any book about Tai Chi and Taoism. I practiced Gracie Jui-Jistu for a couple years.

:aww: Hello ppl! I'm Doksuri and I've been practicing Tae Kwon Do for a decent amount of time. I may not be a professional but I'm pretty good at it! I've been going for one year now. (I go to TKD 3 days a week)
I was wondering if I could join the club and hear from the more experienced Martial Artists! :)

Hi there, please call me Reygun or by my deviant name.

I would like to join this club. I've practised Taekwondo for 7 years but unfortunately I've only reached Red Belt (the coloured belt before black). And I've played games like Tekken and Dead or Alive and I'm a fan of Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies and Ong Bak so I'm very interested in martial arts.

So I hope I do demonstrate my knowledge in martial arts.

Hello, everyone; please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mike, I've been training in taekwondo since 1989, and I currently teach (mostly children) at my friend's kenpo school. It's a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope to be able to contribute to the club's continued success. :star:
