As a Martial Artist, Fitness Coach (and writer) I have been lucky enough to train all around the globe, in locations as diverse as China, Thailand, the USA and many places within the UK, all within a variety of fascinating styles; from Chinese Kickboxing (Sanda), Shaolin Kung Fu, TaeKwonDo, Thai Boxing and Escrima to more esoteric styles such as Xingyi and Chi Gong.

Along this journey I have also been fortunate to have first hand experience training with leading authorities including world champions, Chinese masters and stars of film and TV.

Flexibility Myth #1

sports sciences. An age where technology and the latest research has enabled us
to measure the tiniest details of an individual’s performance and track every
slight movement during any event.

“The most popular argument against time travel is that we haven’t met any time travellers. Similarly the most popular argument against one Martial Art being ‘the best’ is that we aren’t all getting our backsides kicked on a daily basis by the master of this style.”

“One of the reasons relaxation as a concept within Martial Arts has become so established is because of the traditional Chinese art of ‘drunken’ style Kung Fu, also called ‘Zui Quan’ or Drunken Fist. This unusual combat discipline requires the student to develop a relaxed and flowing style of movement akin to that of someone under the influence of alcohol. The misconception here however is that the individual is ‘relaxed’ in the traditional sense – after all it does look that way. Many people love this style because it appears so different to traditional fighting arts and hence they think it may be perfect for someone who can knock back a few beers and stagger about taking on all comers. However Zui Quan actually requires great muscle control and focus, not just a bunch of flailing limbs and stumbling around.”
