The Martial Arts - an overview of the fighting arts

 

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.

Side note: Just a quick reminder about all the free stuff inside 'The Martial Arts Vault'; check it out!

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!
