Earlier, we wrote about an American martial art focused on emulating the gunplay and hand-to-hand grappling that was common during the era of the Wild West and the American frontier. This includes using weapons that would have been accurate to the time period for competition and well as self-defense. One of those weapons is the Winchester Model 1887 shotgun. According to the book America's Premier Gunmakers: Winchester by K. D. Kirkland, this particular gun was produced from eighteen eighty-seven to eighteen ninety-nine while a future upgraded version of the shotgun (called the Model 1901) was produced from the year nineteen o' one to nineteen twenty.

In the year 1912, an American named Andrew Chase Cunningham created a book. This book described an interesting martial art that had the same name as the book: The Cane as a Weapon. This martial art is a concise system of self-defense all about fighting off attackers by using a walking stick or umbrella as a weapon. Cunningham was a civil engineer with the United States Navy throughout the later part of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century, so he was not someone who knew nothing about martial arts or combat before he created his own.

Local Special Forces Veteran and martial arts instructor David Collins will host a ballroom dance class on Saturday, January 14, in Blountville, at Fire & Water Martial Arts.

Bruce Lee died on July 20, 1973 at the age of only 32 years old and the mystery surrounding his death has persisted for many years. A popular theory has been that he suffered brain swelling from a cerebral oedema. However, a new study has called all that into question and postulated a much different conclusion. In short, researches believe that he may have died from drinking too much water!

There is a particular sport and martial art that goes by many names and is very popular in the United States of America. It is called cowboy action shooting, or CAS for short. Another acronym it is known by is SASS because the highest governing body of the sport is known as the Single Action Shooting Society. As described by The Gun Digest Book of Cowboy Action Shooting: Guns · Gear · Tactics. by John Taffin, CAS has people practicing it use firearms that would have been seen as typical of the mid-to-late nineteenth century. This includes weapons like single-action revolvers, lever-action rifles, double-barreled shotguns (also known as coach guns or messenger's guns during cowboy times), and pump-action shotguns with external hammers like the Winchester 1897.

Combat pistol shooting is a modern martial art that focuses on the use of a handgun as a defensive weapon. Like a lot of modern martial arts, it is practiced for self-defense, but it is also practiced in various different places as a sport in the form of practical shooting: a set of shoot sports that are governed in the United States by the United States Practical Shooting Association. British Commandos were some of the first to publish information on combat pistol shooting through a book called Shooting To Live With The One-Hand Gun. The book was published back in 1942 during the Second World War with the book being given out among combatants and to members of the civilian population. These techniques ended up getting adopted for training by the American Office of Strategic Services troops, helping US troops learn how to use their pistols in various different ways for self-defense.

In Today's Kim's Adventure we're at a LA Jiu Jitsu Academy Turned Into a Halloween Carnival. The professor usually throws a party for his younger students around Halloween and as you can see it's standing room only. He's setup several carnival type game stations where the kids win every time. Look at the detail on that Jack Skellington, that was all hand made with love. My favorite station has got to be the one with the nerf guns. Ellie got the courage to mingle and was able to score some candy swag from the professor. Dylan got to finish up a few more games before all the kids sat down for the main event. I don't know what the official name for this final game is, but I call it fishing for random stuff. Overall all the kids had a great time, thank you DM Jiu Jitsu

Earlier, I wrote about a martial art called gouging which was basically a popular form of street fighting in the American South which combined old European martial arts, self-defense tactics, and even the use of basic weapons to defend one's self. I also mentioned how the martial art was occasionally used for duels until the duels fell out of fashion as deadlier weapons like revolvers and Bowie knives became popular, making such duels death sentences. A man named Elliot Gorn, however, pretty much wrote about & described how the duels for this particular martial art worked & - truth be told - were pretty graphic and it is pretty obvious how they fell out of favor. In fact, it is kind of amazing that such a form of street fighting was ever used for dueling & settling disputes to begin with.

There is a form of self-defense that formed as a form of fighting that was around back in the rural portions of the United States, mostly being popular during the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century. However, this form of fighting has been around since the 1730s in the southern colonies of what was then the British Empire. While it was never practiced as an organized sport - since it was designed more as a rough form of self-defense or street fighting instead of focusing on having safe moves for sporting events - there would be some scheduled fights or 'duels' that would happen between people practicing this particular fighting style.

There is a martial art that was developed specifically for the United States Marine Corps called the Marine Corps Martial Arts Programs or MCMAP for short. This is an American hybrid martial art native to the United States but combines techniques from a bunch of different martial arts into one mean fighting style. MCMAP draws from several other martial arts including wrestling, judo, capoeira, sambo, boxing, Savate, kickboxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Aikido, Hapkido, Jujutsu, Iaido, kickboxing, Kendo, Krav Maga, and Kobudo.

Wally Jay1999 Jujitsu America Convention in San Mateo, CA. When most people think about martial arts, they generally think of the different fighting styles that trace their origins back to some portion of Asia (like kung-fu, karate, and taekwondo) or Europe (like fencing and greek wrestling), and the Middle East (like Egyptian swordplay and the Ottoman combat sport Matrak). However, few people might think about the modern United States of America as the origin of various different useful forms of combat. However, various different martial arts can trace their origins to the United States of America and be pretty effective for teaching people how to protect themselves from aggressors.
