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.

Revisiting the Koncrete Gym

This Monday I will be returning to the Koncrete gym to learn more about Boxing and some of its technique and ideas. I just finished putting together the Boxing page on my blog, you should check it out. Also, if you want to learn more about the trainer, Vassiliy Jirov, you can visit the Koncrete Gym website, http://www.koncretegym.com/ and click on the trainers page. In addition to finalizing my visits to the Koncrete gym, I am making preparations to visit the last school of my project. As may comes closer and closer I get more and more excited to share all that I have learned.

Thanks
Mr. Waaler
