Inspirational Classic Video Games for Arnis Training

When it comes to stick fighting, you ought to do more than practice. To keep yourself interested in the art, learn or create some moves, and become inspired to do better, you may want to try playing some video games. But don't just play any games. Go for those that heavily make use of hand-held weapons such as blades, long poles, and even escrima sticks. In playing, you not only get relief but also the opportunity to improve your reflexes and simulate fighting through a game character.

If playing some titles is what appeals to you, you should try checking out some Neo-Geo games that I personally recommend to kali practitioners:

  • The Last Blade
  • The Last Blade 2
  • Samurai Shodown
  • Samurai Shodown II
  • Samurai Shodown III: Blades of Blood
  • Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge
  • Samurai Shodown V
  • Samurai Shodown V Special
  • Samurai Shodown VI

Never Underestimate Your Opponent

Keep it real. In every fight, whether it's in an official tournament or the streets, you should never underestimate your opponent. At all times, keep your eyes on the person. Be watchful and pay attention to his or her movements. It's only when you time your attacks and defenses wherein you could end up being triumphant. Yet remember that there's the element of luck that plays an integral role too. Since anything could happen, you simply have to be ready to respond favorably. Rise when you fall and dominate when you're winning. Never underestimate your enemy. Set Your Goals Your objective in all combats is to win. It should be that. But, aside from gaining the upper hand, you must also consider incapacitating your opponent. After all, a person may retaliate after being defeated. Still, you need to consider how you're going to prevent your adversary from ever attacking you. It isn't that simple when you're fighting against another human being because humans a

Essentials of Effective Task Management

Task management is something that might be challenging but is pretty useful. That's considering the benefits that you could have when you would get things sorted out. Now, there isn't the best strategy on how to go about it but there are some ways that people have proven time and time again to be effective when it comes to it. Many even call them necessary because of their usefulness. Here are some of what people call essentials when it comes to managing tasks. 1. Make a To-Do List No matter how smart you are, you need to have a list. That's because human beings often forget things, especially when they're overwhelmed with thoughts. Memorizing just won't cut it. You need to put ideas or tasks into writing. That's so that you would, later on, have a reference sheet that you guide you. So come up with at least one. If you need many then at least label your lists to divide them and make things organized. 2. Prioritize with a Deadline Whatever you're tasks are,

Some Self Defense Thoughts this November 2020

 I've been reading a lot of martial arts lately and even started practicing arnis, escrima or kali again. Why? I can't shake off this feeling that something's about to happen. I'm someone who promotes optimism and positiveness but there are just some things that bring out the defensiveness in me. Because of the limited resources right now and the present condition of the economy, I'm just making myself ready for anything. You can't expect people to just sit and do nothing about their problems. Countries in need of resources and that have different political interests may have serious disagreements and such. It comes as no surprise why so many in the world right now are thinking that some nations are ready to overpower others. But this isn't to say that it's just to be paranoid nowadays. These are only practical ideas. Because of the possibility that trouble may surface, I started working on my self-defense skills again. It's not even only because oth
