This is a must watch especially if you have boys. Martial Arts has so many benefits for our females (my five daughters are walking proof) but it provides an essential part of the antidote to this epidemic of failing masculinity as well. Every dire statistic mentioned in this video finds reversal as boys study martial arts in a high quality school.

If you or your child are having trouble with a bully and are afraid of being punched in the face, we can help. Call us at 209-612-1648 or visit us at www.martialartscalifornia.com to schedule a free lesson.

We've known and taught this at our school for years now, but nice to see it officially recognized more and more...

Video we made while doing some on site training in Italy...

Here is one of the most exquisite presentations from our spring civilian training camp at Castle Air Force Base demonstrating the fluid artistic counterpoint to our incredibly explosive combat martial arts style. Both the artists are improvising on the spot. If you are interested in training in this style, our studio in Murphys is accepting students of all ages. Call us at 209-612-1648 for some free trial lessons. As contractors with the US military, we have empty hand, edged... weapon, and tactical firearm training solutions for your organization, personal, or family security needs. High level fighting skill demands more than just the ability to hit incredibly hard and fast. It demands creativity and flow and situational awareness and education. It is essential to add this artistic form aspect of training in addition to the bag work and heavy contact reaction fighting in order to really become a physically and emotionally well rounded fighter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GfZVBL3Heg

Teen class field trip to Moore's Shou Shu - Monterey Bay.

This gentle little angel has a wicked snap kick!

Crashing anvil. This little guy has come a long way from no concentration!

Still time to sign up! Even if you are brand new and have had no lessons yet, there will be a group for you, and it will rocket your studies forward. Amazing food, amazing friends, and an amazing training opportunity!

We are pretty humble up here in Murphys and not into making predictions. That being said, all you wonderful friends of ours at other Moore's studios who are out to get the trophy at this September's camp blackbelt demos... you had better bring your A-game, because we are going to hit the afterburners!

Martial Arts Students in Murphys: This has a lot of the principles I've been talking about diet wise lately. Never heard the actual name before. I've been just talking about a martial arts high endurance/energy diet. Its all in the type of fats you consume. You basically have to train your body into accepting fat as your main caloric energy source. Once it does, it will burn the flab off with super efficiency. You need a ton of vegetables for the vitamins, the grass fed meat for the protein, the mct fats for the brain health and slow burn energy. I'd go 60% good fat, 30% protein, 10% carbs eaten in the evening to help you sleep better. Avoid all simple carbohydrates. Soda and sugary garbage is an absolute NO. It's poison. Eat right and train hard, my friends!

This is the kind of awesome mom we grow in the foothills. Mrs. Coggin, you've got heart! Way to train!

There are many just as important reasons to get your daughter into martial arts, but these are some excellent reasons to get your young lad involved. School is almost out, and if you are looking for a wholesome, useful, character building, fun, and challenging activity for your children this summer, give us a call at 209-612-1648.

This is shocking! I can't fathom people not getting involved. For most of these people they probably were just afraid of getting hurt (which is why you MUST get martial arts training for your family - it changes your whole outlook on life), but for some, they just don't really care. Either way It's an indicator of how ripe our society is for takeover from within or without. Sheep. We are just a bunch of sheep. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151962587581338&set=vb.14651981337&type=2&theater

Today is Sanctity of Life Sunday, and as martial artists who deal with and consider issues of life and death, this is a day we need to contemplate. Actually, I'm sad that we even need to have a Sanctity of Life Sunday. A few decades ago it would have been completely unnecessary. People respected life. Of course, we think mostly of 56 million aborted babies on this day, but we need to think of more than that. Unjust wars, gang violence, euthanasia, lack of care families give t...o their elder members... The odds are that in some house on your street, there is a family that abuses its children verbally or beats them or burns them with a cigarette. Life has become cheap. It's seen in the way the youth disrespect the purity of their bodies even. Unlike the cases of Resurrection Day or Christmas (which we will celebrate for all eternity!), I pray that very soon we will never have to observe another Sanctity of Life Sunday because... we all have returned to the fountain of Truth. If you are looking for something to meditate on this Sanctity of Life Sunday, here is something from the Westminster Larger Catechism. Notice how the Sixth Commandment is about so much more than just murder... Q. 134. Which is the sixth commandment? A. The sixth commandment is, Thou shalt not kill. Q. 135. What are the duties required in the sixth commandment? A. The duties required in the sixth commandment are, all careful studies, and lawful endeavors, to preserve the life of ourselves and others by resisting all thoughts and purposes, subduing all passions, and avoiding all occasions, temptations, and practices, which tend to the unjust taking away the life of any; by just defense thereof against violence, patient bearing of the hand of God, quietness of mind, cheerfulness of spirit; a sober use of meat, drink, physic, sleep, labor, and recreations; by charitable thoughts, love, compassion, meekness, gentleness, kindness; peaceable, mild and courteous speeches and behavior; forbearance, readiness to be reconciled, patient bearing and forgiving of injuries, and requiting good for evil; comforting and succoring the distressed, and protecting and defending the innocent. Q. 136. What are the sins forbidden in the sixth commandment? A. The sins forbidden in the sixth commandment are, all taking away the life of ourselves, or of others, except in case of public justice, lawful war, or necessary defense; the neglecting or withdrawing the lawful and necessary means of preservation of life; sinful anger, hatred, envy, desire of revenge; all excessive passions, distracting cares; immoderate use of meat, drink, labor, and recreations; provoking words, oppression, quarreling, striking, wounding, and whatsoever else tends to the destruction of the life of any. Psalm 144:1 Blessed be the LORD, my rock, Who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle

This is a great idea ~Leanna

All students, we will be doing classes tomorrow (Monday, December 30) regular times to help juggle around the holiday stuff. Hope you all had a great Christmas break!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcNtAoqG13I Some of our 6-16 year old students from Murphys and Escalon competed in the December 7, 2013 Shou Shu Tournament in Merced.

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft! Theodore Roosevelt

This trend in America is tragic to say the least. Ruined lives abound. More reason to make sure your daughter or son can defend his/her life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. And before that, they MUST know how to spot a predator and disengage early or (failing that) to engage with extreme prejudice. Get your children into class on a regular basis. To all my fellow Shun Shifus and Shifus, it isn't enough for us to teach and practice the techniques; we must also teach the skill to recognize the predator. That's what I love about you all... you do this better than anyone!

Here is a repost of the little iphone video of the black belt test for Shifu Ethan Moes (15)and his fellow teens at the 2013 Fall Moore's Shou Shu Camp at Castle Air Force Base. Stabilized the shakiness and fixed the technical glitches. Enjoy!

The Shun Shifus we could get together at camp with Jung Moon, DaShifu Ralph Moore, DaShifu Parkins, ShiGung Lara and ShiGung Krieger. Hopefully we can get ALL the Shun Shifus together at the Beast Seminar!

Sarah Jack, a mother in the studio, writes: "My son thinks Sho-Shu is awesome!! Aaron gets up this morning and tells me that he had a dream last night (this is big for him b/c he never remembers his dreams) He says, "But don't worry, it was a good one. There was a bad guy and he tried to attack me but I wasn't scared because I remembered my karate and I took care of him with a flying ninja kick. I got him right in the nose. Then he said 'I need a tissue' so while he was getting a tissue I punched him in the back of the neck and he fell down. Then another bad guy came and I went like this (throws his arms out with typical little boy sound effect *whoosh*) and chopped him in the neck. Then they were done and it was over. I'd say he's hooked on shou-shu- he's even dreaming it!"

Reason 1,684 why to come and train at Moores and no where else: we didn't make this demo... :) http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=2d5_1375546520

Marijke and Jocelyn (rocking the Kung Fu silks!)

Do you practice your throws, take-downs, & grabbing (mantis)?

Clearly this little gal practiced today. Have you?

It's not the size but the amount of heart that matters.

What is Martial Art for you?

More camp 2013 pictures!

Camp was spectacular as always. It was such a pleasure to have all 11 of our students who attended back in the studio this week revved up and ready to show me all the seriously excellent growth that took place for them. It's midnight and we actually just got back from class not too long ago. No one wanted to leave! They can hardly wait for the next one. Students, if you want to make it to Black Belt, you really HAVE to make every effort to attend all camps. WIll be another in the fall. Don't miss it!

I have 7 kids of my own and we are adopting 3 more. All of them (and my wife as well) do Shou Shu. I can attest both as a Shun Shifu and as a pretty experienced father... this is absolutely true. Do Shou Shu as a family, guys and gals. The benefits are myriad.
