Some “Military Manias” or “Army Idi-ots” are often says: “Military training is very good to build our childrens!!”.

As martial art teacher who also teaches kindergarten kids myself: “I don’t like you!!”.

Why martial art training is not same with military training (and why i don’t like military guys)? The reasons are on their training goal and method.

Martial art training is a lifelong peaceful lifestyle and disciplines for all people, from kids to senior ages. It train our spiritual growth, physical health, respect, and self defense skill to protect ourselves and good people who need our help.

In martial art clubs, we just do normal cardio exercises and self defense basic skill training. No brainwashing to support political ideology propaganda like psychological hazing & hysical bullying here.

See? Both adults and kids are training martial art together with fun and safe without any anger, hatred or fear.

Some traditional martial arts like Nanpai Kungfu (ancient Southern Chinese Kungfu style) were created by military persons, but ancient militaries are totally different with modern military. Ancient military men who also martial art masters like General Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are working and training together with local villagers and monks on the field and fight together to protect their village from Wokou pirate attack. Both Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were didn’t want to create mindless soldiers like robot, they want to teach the local people a martial art to defend their village. 

Modern military or Child Soldiers training is a short term unpeace training. The goal is to create loyal soldiers who expert in blade or firearm weapons combat and to make profit for the leader ambitions. Once the leader/commanders think you are weak/old/crippled/useless and no longer able to fight anymore, you will be expelled like a trash.

Modern military training is created to build loyal soldiers who always support the ambitious leader/dictator in modern corrupt era, of course those power hungry leaders will happy if they have strong “Hitmen” who always protect their throne and business. 

To create loyal soldiers who will never say “No” to their ambitious/corrupt leader, 2 brainwashing methods like Bloodthirty Propaganda (teaching those kids a doctrine filled with hatred) or Power Show Off (scare those juniors/recruits using psychological hazing, physical bullying and sexual harrasement) are often used to forcing the young soldiers to be loyal and obeying their seniors/commanders/leader. Lot of death like killed while get beated or raped are also often happens in military training camps.

Those “Hitmen” also very useful to silence/eliminate people who oppose them (no wonder why Army jerks are often abuse weak people, even in their own country. Violence training and power given by the dictator often making their minds become delusional).

Watch their eyes!! Lot of hatred, anger and fear.

Southpaw Stance

Variation of basic techniques where the right hand and right foot placed on the front, also known as Mirrored Stance or Inverted Stance.

Sometimes the opponent will attacking us with quick strike from right side and we have no time to set up a normal fighting stance, using Southpaw position is faster technique to counter it.

The training method is same with basic strikes training using normal stance. The only difference is now we do all the basic strikes on mirrored position, like doing Jab Punch using right hand, Hook Punch using right hand, Front Kick using left foot, Scoop Block using right forearm and more.

Trapping

Pinning the opponent's arm to immobilize it then do counter strike.

Intercepting

Mix of offense & defense.

When the opponent gonna hit you, hit first before the opponent hit you.

Tonfa Fighting

Okinawan “T” shaped stick which also used in other Asian countries.

The concept of “T” shaped design is to covering the wrist of Karateka/Kenpoka againts opponent’s blade.
