Statement of Purpose
This project is an investigation of 5 Martial Arts styles. Self-defense is a major theme in martial arts today and to better understand how different martial arts schools and styles treat self-defense I am going to learn all I can (given time restraints) about each of the five styles. These schools will be chosen from a list of local martial arts studios, and the style will be the one that is taught at that studio. Many studios teach multiple styles, so in this case on of the styles taught there will be analyzed. At the end of the project all the schools I visited will be rated and scored to show in which areas they excel or by contrast, fall short.

Boxing 2
So I revisited the Koncrete gym this morning and once again really enjoyed my time training with Mr. Jirov. Today we went over a lot more strikes and in the ring movements, we still worked out hard and even just doing the strikes was difficult.
Constantly he told me that I must be faster, speed was important for boxing, but, the most important thing was to stay relaxed. He joked how when people asked what he did for a living he said anesthesiologist - because he kept putting people under. The relaxing of your muscles will help your speed and in the end you want to help your opponent relax and fall asleep.
Time is getting short and I have found the last school I am going to visit, i can't wait - well actually i can and will have to wait seeing as i am not going until later this week.
Thank You

Great clips of boxing practice. It's important to remember that as a novice, you'll have a lot of work to get to this level. Thanks for sharing.
