Bully Busting
Master Hendrix has designed a BULLY program for elementary school classes that does not involve contact but rather a discussion in how to identify and deal with the bully "situation". If you think your child's class could benefit from this program, please have the teacher contact Master Hendrix. The program is FREE.

Master Hendrix News

It is so exciting to see everyone getting back into class after the holiday break!
Each year for a week right around the holidays and a week right around the fourth of July myself and the staff take a much needed break to have family time and rest. I hope each of you had a little down time with somebody that is important to you as well.
BUT, rest time is over and we are back to kicking and screaming. :)
Check out the March TaeKwonDo Times magazine which will be on at Barnes & Noble next month. I wrote the cover story about a Georgia martial arts instructor who used his martial arts to recover from a debilitating and blinding fall!
 2012 is shaping up to be an exciting year. I am already booked to teach seminars or lead training sessions in: California, Florida, Philly & Pittsburgh.
Also over the next few months I will be training in California, Florida & Salt Lake City. My goal is to continue to gather the best martial arts information and pass that on to the EMA staff!
RIP. Doezee.

Women's Defense Tip:
| |
Always think about striking the weak points of the body. Primary targets are always the: Eyes, Nose, and Groin.
If you don't get a direct shot to the nose or eyes, consider still raking their face with your nails. Any claw type movement will leave an "identifying" mark for the police!
The next EMA women's defense course will be on Sunday, Feb. 5th. Look up & to the right for more details...

Hand Strike variations:
Your good ole fashion straight punch can be modified to be numerous other hand strikes just by modifying the "pose" of your hand. However the mechanics remain the same. Examples: One finger thust, 2 finger thrust, palm strike, arc hand, wedge hand, etc...

Jeet Kune Do and Philippine MA tip of the Month
| |
Note on HUBUD and sensitivity training.
You can think of Hubud as Filipino Chi-Sao (sticking hands). It develops sensitivity and the ability to "stick" to the opponent. This attribute is great in trapping range. Make sure when you hubud that you keep contact and cohesion with your arms and the opponents. The drill should seem more like a flow than a "blocking" drill.
