I have been training for the last 20+ years in a Okinawan derived style called Bushin Ryu.
In that time I've also dabbled in some other arts and had the good fortune to train under some excellent people.

Why Do Pressure Points Work Differently Against Different People? Just to confirm, you are asking about vital or physiological points, rather than pressure points that are meridian (acupuncture) based? |

How effective is practicing a martial art strictly outside of a dojo for beginners? +1 from me too. My Sensei always says: If you think you can, you're right. If you think you can't you're also right. Unfortunately newer students are full of the can't and it takes them a while to realize they can. |

What is a good push-up routine to build punch strength? Your strength could be fine and the issue could be related to technique. Have you had someone of sufficient senority watching you punch both in linework and on a bag/pad to pick up any technique issues? |

Are there musical instruments which, when practiced, noticeably increase martial arts skills and performance? I've seen many things suggested in martial arts movies, like helicopters being knocked out of the sky with back spinning hook kicks (well, I exagerate a little) and Chuck Norris wincing after receiving a yoko tobi geri (flying side kick) to the chest (which we know could never be true). While I'm being quite cynical, the orchestral background while JCVD was solo training in the temple grounds in Kickboxer did inspire me... Anyhow, I'm sure MythBusters would call "Busted" on this one. |
