Free Karate Lessons Are A Great Way To Study Martial Arts!

My official beginning in the study of The Martial Arts was back in the late sixties. I walked into an Ed Parker Chinese Kenpo Dojo, signed a contract, and began to learn Martial Arts. The truth, however, is that I had been getting free Karate Lessons for a long time before I walked into that school.

They weren’t much, as far as martial arts lessons went, but they did the trick. They kept my attention, and they kept me happy. After all, they were the best type of physical and mental conditioning, they were a good way to learn I could handle the bullies, and they were fun.

The first thing I delved into was knuckle conditioning. We used to pound our knuckles on walls and fences and boxes and anything that caught our interest. That resulted in a lifelong interest in conditioning, different types of punches, and a desire to have the hardest punch I could develop.

The second thing I learned was simple arm bars. This was good, as simple things always work the best. To this day I take the most complex of fighting techniques and look for the simplest method of making them work.

The third thing I learned had to do with learning how to use the different body parts. I analyzed feet, hands, arms, legs, how the joints worked, everything I could. I even read medical books trying to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the various body parts.

Fourth, I engaged in a rudimentary sort of grappling. This was good because I took away from that experience the lesson that grappling wasn’t handy for fighting. You grapple, and you are tied up, and somebody else runs up and kicks the back of your head, and there might be weapons involved, and…no thanks.

The main thing I discovered from reading books, working with friends, and just having fun pretending we were big and tough, was that sweat worked. The hours we spent lifting iron, running, wrestling, and trying those techniques from out of old Bruce Tegner books and the like…they were golden hours. It was a youth that built strength, character, and the desire to go forward.

The point I am making here is that the martial arts aren’t for everybody. So look around on the net, Google Free Karate lessons, (I always recommend Karate as a great art to start your martial arts with) or some other search term, and see what comes up. Do a few moves, see if they work on friends, and find out if you have the character and substance to be a student of Karate.
