Tai Chi tip of the Month
| 
A little Tai Chi can go a long way toward improving your overall health. Even five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the evening can help calm and center you. Contact us to find out more about EMA's simple approach to this ancient art.

Taekwon-Do tip of the Month
| 
The sine wave motion has a slight Downward to Upward to Downward motion to help build power through weight transfer assisted by good ole gravity and thereby increasing power without increasing physical strain or tension. However, be aware that you can OVER EMPHASIZE sine wave. Some TK-D players over emphasize the motion and defeat the purpose b/c their sine wave has slowed their movement! Train Hard. |
|
HapKiDo Tip of the Month
| 
Use your core! Be careful that when locking your opponent you are not just "leaning" on them or using just an arm motion. YOUR arms should be connected to your core and therefore when you lock someone you control them with your core via your arms and hands. The same applies to kicking and punching. your core should be engaged in the movement. Don't just sling your arms or legs. Put a little body into it! |
