A common term used in the Japanese martial arts community for the defender is called a "tori," while the attacker is called a "uke." As I was coming up through the ranks, my fellow classmates and I rephrased the Japanese word "uke" to mean dummy, instead of attacker. We did this because anyone foolish enough to be the "uke" for one of our instructors during a demonstration was definitely a few cans short of a six-pack. This particular bit of philosophy would follow me throughout my entire journey as a student and as a student/teacher, which is what I still am today. That is a student first, and a teacher second.

Now as much as I hated being the "uke" for one of my instructors, I must admit that I did enjoy being the "tori" to my students. A fact I am sure that my instructors would reluctantly admit to. My all time favorite "uke" was the naysayer student in the class. Now anyone who has taught for any length of time knows just who I am talking about. We have all had that one student who never quite believes you when you teach them something or constantly lives in the land of, "What if..." I have had several such students over the years and one of my favorites was also a friend of mine for a time that we called Big Bob.

Now Bob was called Big Bob for obvious reasons. He stood about 6 foot 4 inches tall and weighed in at a little over 250 lbs. He was literally big, and yes his name was Bob, hence the nickname Big Bob. At the same time, I also had another student who was also named Bob, and he was called Little Bob. However, his stories will be saved for another time.

Because Bob was so big and due to the fact that he was already a fairly proficient fighter, he had a tendency not to believe that a particular technique or techniques would actually work on a larger more experienced person in an actual self-defense situation. Bob was also constantly living in the land of "What If..." Needless to say, he was always putting himself in the position of being my "uke" whether he really wanted to or not. This ended up backfiring on Big Bob in a really dramatic way one night during a class on judo throwing techniques.

As I was demonstrating the throwing techniques on one of my other senior students who happened to be about the same size as me, I could see this look of disbelieve on Bob's face. I knew that this was going to be one of those times where he didn't believe that the technique that I was demonstrating would work on him. Knowing this, I decided to hasten the course of events that I knew would transpire by asking if anyone had any questions. Not to my surprise, guess who was the first one to raise his hand? That's right, Bob.

Bob was very respectful, yet didn't believe that the throw I was demonstrating would work on a larger opponent. Trying to keep the smile off of my face, I asked Bob to step up and be my "uke" while I demonstrated the effectiveness of the throw. Apparently I wasn't too successful in hiding my glee as Bob suddenly got a case of the, "Oops, I think I'm in trouble" look on his face, and tried to back out of being the "uke" by stating that he really did believe me now. Of course I would have none of that and insisted that Bob step up onto the mat so that I could answer his question by showing him that the technique did in fact work.

Bob reluctantly got onto the mat and proceeded to stand facing directly towards me. Now if you have ever practiced Judo before, you know that your basic starting position is with both persons facing each other, with their right hand grasping their partners left lapel and the left hand grabbing their partner's right sleeve. This is the position that Bob and I took as I continued explaining the intricacies of this move to the class. I told Bob exactly what I was going to do and asked him to do whatever he could think of to avoid being thrown. I moved into position slower than normal and allowed Bob the opportunity to avoid being thrown, which he did do. I then proceeded to attempt to throw Bob several times, with him avoiding being thrown each time. Needless to say, Bob's confidence about me not being able to throw him so far was growing exponentially and he was exuding that cockiness that comes when you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are right. Only in this case, nothing could have been further from the truth.

As any good instructor will tell you, it is easy to defend against that which is known to you. Yet not so easy to defend against that which is unknown. You see so far during this demonstration Bob knew what I was going to do because I had not only told him, but I had actually performed the moves slower than normal to allow him the opportunity to avoid them. Although this particular portion of the exercise was not consciously known to him at the time. You see what I was doing was setting Bob up, literally, for the fall. While it appeared that Bob had been winning the battles, I was preparing to win the war.

I tried one more time unsuccessfully to throw Bob and then conceded to the class that it appeared that Bob was right, that this particular judo throw wouldn't work on a larger opponent. I then proceeded to start teaching another lesson and once again used Bob as my "uke." Suddenly and obviously unexpectedly, instead of kicking at Bob I rushed in grabbed a hold of him and executed a beautiful picture perfect hip throw that had Bob's feet scraping the ten foot high ceiling in our dojo as he flew over my head and landed with a resounding thud onto the mat. Bob continued to lie on the mat for several moments in utter disbelief that I had just thrown him. Finally Bob got up and I could tell that he was a bit taken aback. I asked Bob what was wrong and he said, "You were supposed to kick me, not throw me. I didn't even know it was coming."

"Exactly my point" I replied, "So what did you learn?" Bob thought about it for a minute and then responded by telling me that he needed to be sneaky. Not quite the answer I was looking for, but not a bad one either. I proceeded to tell Bob, and the entire class, that if you tell your opponent what you are going to do, then he will expect it and find a way to avoid it or turn it against you. That is why it is so important not to telegraph your intentions to your opponent. Telegraphing your intentions can be done in a verbal manner like I had just demonstrated or by some subconscious action such as bending of the knees, clenching of the fists, moving slower than normal, etc.

Always remember that the element of surprise is your greatest asset in any kind of combat or self-defense situation. Strive to keep the element of surprise away from your opponent by always being aware of your opponent, his actions, and your surroundings. This should be done while at the same time maintaining the element of surprise on your side. This does not come easy, but it does get easier with lots of practice.

I also reminded the entire class that Judo was founded by Dr. Jigoro Kano, a man of slight stature for the express purpose of working against a larger stronger opponent. In addition to that, Judo, as with all martial arts, relies on the proper use of scientific principles and the correct execution of technique in order to achieve its maximum effectiveness.

Remember, ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge truly is power.

?I?m actually really sick of fighting this type of style, Matt Hamill, Matyushenko, Jake O?Brien? they all have that similar kind of style. Their main focus is that double leg dive and [they have] sub-par boxing.

I?m ready to fight some strikers, I?m ready to fight some south paws, I?m ready to really mix it up.

I?m trying to secure a respect level with my wrestling. I?m sure Ryan Bader, the advantage he?ll have going in is to be the better wrestler and I?m going to try and prove the UFC wrong again.?

Me, Chi, and Bruce Lee: Adventures in Martial Arts from the Shaolin Temple to the Ultimate Fighting Championship

What happens when a self-styled wuss sets out to earn a black belt? Why have Eastern martial arts become so popular worldwide? Is the Ultimate Fighting Championship a beautiful fusion of East-meets-West martial technique, or shameless commercialization? These questions and more find answers in Me, Chi, and Bruce Lee, a rollicking journey through the world of modern martial arts.

Author Brian Preston's trek takes him from a kung fu school in his hometown of Victoria, Canada, to the storied Shaolin Temple in China, back to Canada to meet Brazilian Jujitsu legend Royce Gracie, and on to Vegas and the thrills of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Along the way, Preston discovers a vast array of martial arts practices, theories, and controversieswhen he's not too busy getting a beat-down from a 60-year-old woman.

Sprinkled with reflective detours into serious subjects like the nature of violence and the state of modern China, Me, Chi, and Bruce Lee expertly blends a lively travelogue, a droll riff on the "innocent abroad" theme, and an informative introduction to global martial arts.

Here is your fact for the day - Our society is becoming more violent. Violent crimes increase daily and yet, our world is more integrated than ever. We travel more, commute from home to work, and are out and about more than our grandparents, or even our parents, were. So, the question is: how will you prepare to be out in this world, as it presents increasing risks to your own personal security? You are taking steps, such as reading this article, to educate yourself. But what type of training will that education lead you to choose?

When choosing a school at which to train, research both the school and its instructors to learn their training principles for self defense. Find a school that is self defense oriented. This will probably mean the school does not award belts for levels that you complete. Although certain martial art schools have come around to this new way of thinking, they are far and few between.

A New Way Of Thinking

Train off the principle that, when under an aggressor's attack, your body will only allow you to utilize gross motor skills, i.e., simple movements. You cannot perform intricate jump-spinning back kicks and other gravity-defying movements with success when under duress. In addition to requiring a ballet of choreographed movements, certain martial art schools impress upon the student that he must be prepared to defend himself after he is physically attacked. Such reactive, versus proactive, training is not effective and relying on it can be costly and dangerous. In fact, the best defense (with a new spin on an old saying) is a good offense.

In addition to advocating easy-to-execute training, the author has designed the following A.D.D. formula for recognizing and dealing with possible physical attacks:

(A) Avoid compromising situations. Be aware of your surroundings.

(D) Dissuade any potential aggressor with verbal commands and body language.

(D) Decimate your aggressor with devastating strikes.

Finally, remember this: there is no such thing as fighting dirty when it comes to life or death, so when the time comes for you to engage, be prepared and give it everything you have. Find an instructor who teaches you to manipulate the body's vulnerable areas such as the eyes, ears, throat, neck, and groin. Once you have identified an instructor who emphasizes simple movements, who is teaches an offensive form of self defense, and who does not shy away from teaching you to defend yourself at all cost, you will know you have done your homework completely! All that remains is to train like you mean it!
