Martial Arts Classes in Evansville and Mount Vernon Indiana

Many of you have been asking me where to find some great pressure point charts. Here are the charts I used to help me get started. I hope they help you as well.

You can use them to identify striking points when working on your forms or places to hit when doing your self defenses. Always think in the back of your mind “angle and direction.”

Angle and direction will guide you in knowing how to strike the point based on either the technique in the form or the technique described in your self defense.

Whether you are studying Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, MMA or Boxing, pressure points can help you better understand how the self defense works to your own advantage.

Boxing and MMA students from Community Martial Arts got to compete in a local show held by South Paw Boxing Club and Evansville Boxing Club. Two fighters were able to be matched up in turned out to be one of the biggest shows this city has had.  Coach Matt Reed was happy with his fighters citing ‘they did a great job and listened well.’

It was exciting to see so many boxers from the area competing in this amateur location. While the referees where still ‘a little green’ causing several fights to be stopped without cause and standing eight counts by boxers who were still punching and in the fight, we are happy that there is a local venue for our fighters to get a chance to work their skills and learn what it is going to take to get better.

There is nothing like getting in the ring. Local boxing couch Danny Thomas said that ‘it takes a brave and special person to get in that ring. While people in the stands may make fun or laugh, they are not brave enough to step in that ring and prove themselves.”

While our fighters lost by decision and a bad stoppage call by a referee, we are happy to see our fighters do a great job and look to more successful competitions in the near future.
