One of the most intimidating aspects of pursuing martial arts is understanding which approach is best for you. Discover an introduction to many styles of martial arts, including kung fu, karate, tae kwon do, judo, jeet kune do, and krav maga. Learn about the physical and mental aspects of martial arts, from the proper form for blocks, kicks, and punches to the necessary self-discipline and focus to succeed. These styles have certain things in common, yet each practice has its own unique philosophy as well as a physical and mental approach. Hosted and brought together by tai chi grandmaster and martial arts expert David-Dorian Ross, these 25 interactive lessons give you a solid grounding in the different philosophies, styles, and techniques of the major martial arts families. Whether you are interested in self-defense, the physical benefits, or the balance and harmony that studying martial arts can bring to all aspects of your life, this course is an ideal place to begin, resume, or deepen your practice.
