Powell Combat Arts

There are several bad habits I have witnessed in my time as trainer and trainee in combat arts.  These habits can cost you dearly in the ring, octagon, or in a real fight for your life.  If you are guilty of any of these habits, it would be a smart idea to break them.  Here we go … 1) After going through an empty hands technique drill, you immediately lower your hands in front of your training partner.  Don't do that.  2) You stand in front of a heavy bag punching wildly and paying no attention to your defense.  Don't do that.  3) In order to get the heavy bag to stop swinging you let your guard down and grab the heavy bag with both hands.  Don't do that.  4) You throw your training partner to the ground with a great judo move and immediately help him up.  Don't do that.  5).  You are training with weapons and superbly disarm your partner and promptly give his weapon back to him.  Don't do that.  Until next time!
