What's the difference between Internal and External martial arts? @swift apittman.com/blog/internal-verses-external-martial-arts goes into more detail. The way "internal" vs. "external" is used in public (out door) does in fact advertise it is "stronger" somehow. That's what I mean by connotations of "esoteric" and "exoteric" got exaggerated out of proportion. If you keep an open mind, you will start to see "internal" aspect in pretty much every surviving traditional arts. That makes "internal" -> "esoteric" useless as a distinction. PM me if you want to discuss this further. |

What are good exercises for strengthening knees to hold stances better? Hey now, I don't poke holes in your naive-questioning-tactic :-) Now here's something I have not really explored: what about ankles? It has less freedom-of-movement than the femoral socket, but more than knees. |

Do shock knives make a good 'training' alternative to real knives for knife fighting sparring? +1 Scratch stick -- sounds like a great idea. |

What's the difference between Internal and External martial arts? @WilliamMioch I've practiced xingyiquan and baguazhang both slow and fast. Slow practice is not exclusive to taijiquan, or even Chinese arts. So slow vs. fast is not a good description for internal vs. external. |

What's the difference between Internal and External martial arts? Shaolin chuanfa is generally classified as an external art, and many of the lineages will teach qigong at some point or another. This is not a good description of "internal" vs. "external" martial arts. |

What's the difference between Internal and External martial arts? I didn't downvote. However, there are "external" arts that "focus on using the leverage of the relaxed body to control an opponent." In other words, this does not describe the difference very well. |

Drills for reducing your natural “flinch” reaction @SimonPeterChappell Flinches come from fear. Fear is fundamentally the instinct to avoid danger and we're biologically wired to avoid pain. Bad technique, lack of strength, and surprise all fall out from avoidance. |

Why are firearms not part of the martial arts world? @stslavik I would love to hear the story of Seki-ryu Hojutsu, or even some good links about them. Sounds like fun :-D |

What are the purposes of martial arts forms? I just got started. Been playing with people through a smartphone (6 days per move), so it is convenient. Trevoke showed me the game a few years back. |
