  • Roundhouse Kicks

    Roundhouse Kicks

    The low roundhouse kick is one of the few kicks that is fast enough to initiate an attack without first relying on an attacker’s movement e.g. if you were to initiate an attack with a thrusting kick, such as a front kick, against an aggressor who is in a “neutral” position, the chances are that they would see the kick coming and back away; whereas if you were able to cause them to be moving forward, as you threw the kick then you would improve your chances of landing it significantly. Part of the reason why thrusting/stomping kicks are relatively...

    Most of us have been in arguments/disputes and dealt with aggressive and angry people, and probably most of the time nothing happened e.g. one or both parties walked away.

If I’m walking through a dodgy neighborhood, late at night –...

  • Stolen Goods & Demand

    Stolen Goods & Demand

    Say’s Law states that supply creates its own demand i.e. when products and services are put out into the marketplace, demand will naturally and automatically be created for these things e.g. most mobile phone users don’t “demand” that their iPhone camera needs a higher resolution or are even aware of what may be possible, and instead wait for Apple to supply them with a new phone that is rich in these features.
