For
your martial arts journey: Here are some
interesting martial arts clips. But before
you check out below, do make sure you visit:
your
martial arts videos! Easy to find your
favorite, free, online videos.
|
|
|
These
interesting martial arts clips can be from
a number of sources, and they can show any
art or method really.
|
The
point here is not necessarily to teach you
any new techniques or "tricks"
- even though I'm quite confident they may
serve that purpose also to some. Rather
they are meant as illustrations on the vast
variety of the arts as a whole.
|
To
me, what makes any martial art clip interesting
is that it has that certain "something".
This can be age, or showing a person in
a new or unknown setting. It can be an interesting
budo clip because it shows a technique or
art that is rarely shown. Or, it may be
that is a technique or method that is
executed to perfection - making it a true
display of art.
|
|
In order to preserve
bandwidth and space I have hosted these
clips at Rapidshare - a minor nuisance
compared to the benefits: Free. If you're
having problems, then just get in touch
with me!
|
|
I would appreciate
it if you could send me tips on some videos
or clips, or maybe you even could mail something
to me directly? Use the form here to tip
me about interesting martial arts clips! I'll
get back to you with my mail address if
you wishes to send me directly. Thanks!
