Dr. Jonathan Pyndus started the topic The Health Benefits of Stance Practice in the forum Martial Medicine 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Greetings,
Many of us who grow up on martial arts entertainment like movies, television, or video games often come across the classic, “montage” where the protagonist is made to hold horse stance or something similar whilst being berated by the master.
Most of the classical martial arts originally required long hours of stance training before…[Read more]

Dr. Jonathan Pyndus started the topic What do I need to know for Level One??? in the forum General Discussion 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Greetings to the KTS community!
One of the most common inquiries Pendekar Steve and I receive is some variation of, “What do I need to know to pass my Level One test and move on to Djurus Satu?”
Level One can seem overwhelming, as in a sense, it has 90% or more of the curriculum. All of the fundamental hand work, leg work, stances, the Kendang…[Read more]

Aric Fowler I think you’ll find that no matter how many times you SAY this, no one gets it until they feel how solid you are. Then even though you’ve told them a hundred times, they still think it’s magical somehow. I can attest though, you are the epitome of hard work in this art Estevan. What a pleasure it is to watch someone work so hard and…[Read more]
