Set Karate

Following many years of testing and research, Russell Stutely head coach of the Open Circle Fighting Method, felt it was necessary to ensure that the OCFM methodology was verified by his peers. To this end he trained with and became an instructor with some of the top names in the world of martial arts. They unanimously endorsed the methods espoused within the OCFM,to such an extent many joined the ranks.

Russell then decided that to put the OCFM really on the map and to ensure it was providing the very best in teaching and self defense. He should look at all the areas of martial arts not just the teaching of principles and techniques. To this end, Russell again sought out the experts and so more aspects where added to the OCFM syllabus such as coaching certification, sports coaching, nlp and business training. Various health and safety issues were also researched thoroughly safety in the workplace, first aid, child safety, child psychology and various other areas of learning were incorporated.

Now he looked at the highest standards of each area currently available. This was when he made his toughest decision yet. He decided that other organisations maximum qualifications would become the OCFM minimum qualifications. The necessity of this bore fruit when in the spring of 2007 the OCFM syllabus and teachings were put before the board of the Knightsbridge University and the OCFM degree was agreed and sanctioned. Recognised by universities worldwide and available as a distance learning course this has really set the benchmark for martial arts training in the future. The B.S.C martial arts OCFM is now open to application from any dedicated student throughout the world.

The standards that have been set are continuously checked to make sure that we do set the highest possible standards. All coaches within the organisation have to adhere to the same high standards and principles set by the founder. This way we can be sure that whatever school you go to in our organisation you will get the best that we can offer.

Full Contact Karate $97.19 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Full contact karate is a wide term used to differentiate between competition formats of karate where competitors spar (also called Kumite) fullcontact and allow knockout as winning criterion, and those competitions that use light contact/semi contact point sparring where a knockout is regarded as a foul. The term is also by extension used to differentiate between schools/styles of karate dedicated to such full contact competitions, and schools/styles that are not. Full contact karate competition comes in several, and sometimes very different, formats. These different sport rule format have different history and was developed for the art of karate at different times in different places. Some developed independently, others developed out of other full contact rule systems or from light contact rule systems. As there are no major unifying organizations in any of the different formats, the rule details may change drastically between the many rival sport/style organizations and different promoters. Some organizations stick rigidly to one set of rules.

Although kola and fighting principles differ from style to style, breaking remains a constant, no matter what the style. Therefore, although martial artists may fight differently, execute kato differently or execute entirely different sets of kala, all students of all styles can use the information set out in Karate Breaking Techniques to master the art of reaking. Beginning with thorough coverage of the basics and on examination of the three principles of speed, power, and penetration, the author explains the importance of focus, body conditioning, proper placement of objects to be broken, breath control, and other vital aspects of the art. Hand, kicking, flying, and combination breaking techniques are discussed in detail, and the book concludes with instructions for performing impressive demonstration techniques.

The Karate Kid Collection (Four Film Set) $22.91 Rated: NRSynopsis: The initial film of the enormously successful Karate Kid series, although essentially the familiar tale of an underdog striving for victory, has an innate appeal often lacking in the genre -- an entirely believable rapport between its two stars. The script centers on the travails of a teenage boy, played by Ralph Macchio, who learns to defend himself against the bullying of some uncomfortably Aryan-looking types from an elderly Asian gardener (Pat Morita) who happens to be a master of the martial arts. The film goes beyond the typical plot machinery, as the old man teaches the boy about more than just karate, and a relationship develops between the two. Macchio and Pat Morita are close to perfection in their roles, and Martin Kove is good as the guy you love to hate. Macchio went on to star in a couple of sequels to the hit film, and it seems possible that his strong identification with the role might have hampered the development of his career. The Karate Kid Part II is basically more of the same from director John G. Avildsen, a sequel that studies the high points of the original so closely that it could be considered a remake set in a different location. Instead of being cheered and applauded by an American tournament crowd won over by his underdog status, this time Daniel is urged onward by the swell of handheld percussive instruments scattered through a Japanese crowd won over by his underdog status. However hastily it was rushed into production, The Karate Kid Part II does manage to duplicate the original's winning vibe, including prompting pleased moviegoers to karate chop the air on their way out of the theater, in turn expelling their adrenaline. The fact that it cleared over $115 million domestically, compared to the $90 million taken in by the original, indicates the appetite for escapism that prompted two more similar sequels. This also probably corresponded with a hike in enrollment at karate studios around the country. Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita exude considerable comfort with the traits expected of them, with Macchio hauling back out his blue-collar New Jersey pride and Morita getting more laughs from wise eccentricity. The series began a serious slide after this installment, though it did feature future Oscar-winner Hilary Swank in part four (The Next Karate Kid). John G. Avildsen rehashes his shopworn formula for another go-round in The Karate Kid Part III. Going against the wishes of his mentor Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki "Pat" Morita), Daniel (Ralph Macchio) will defend his karate title in an All-Valley Championship match arranged by his nemesis Kreese (Martin Kove), whose karate studio folded after his star student lost the championship to Daniel. Kreese's friend, Vietnam veteran and toxic waste dumper Terry (Thomas Ian Griffith), agrees to help his old pal regain the championship trophy. Daniel's rival Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) is known as "the bad boy of karate" and Daniel feels he requires more training to va

Now his old rival is a powerful karate expert and a rich, embittered landowner who demands a final grudge match with the the wise and elderly Miyagi. As Sato threatens Miyagi and his family, his nephew, Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), is out to fight Daniel in a battle of young wills.
