Master Phil in Your Corner Podcast Episode #117: The History of Combat Arts

History of Combat Arts:

I thought this might interest you:

Wrestling, The Oldest One of All 

I wrote this back in the 1990’s regarding the sport of wrestling. I thought some of you might find this interesting . . . an historical look at all the combatives.  

Wrestling, you might already know, was the first fighting system. It was created by early man and those who studied its techniques tended to survive the longest. Ancient wall paintings and sculptures that date back over 5000 years clearly demonstrates the influence grappling techniques had on civilization. And given the success that wrestlers are enjoying these days at the Ultimate Fighting Championships it’s clear that not much has changed. Wrestling is still the most effective means of self-defense and the most efficient form of attack known to man. Regardless of the hundreds or so various grappling, striking and kicking systems that are being taught globally, wrestling still sits at the head of the table as the father of them all. 

Throughout the development of mankind there have been different periods when the ownership of weapons was outlawed by various cultures. It was during these cycles of societal non-violence that the martial arts had their largest periods of growth and popularity. But over time, people began to see the physical arts as much more than just survival skills. It was a means of attaining higher levels of physical and spiritual wellness while stressing the personal qualities of character development, discipline and persistence. These are the primary reasons why wrestling and the rest of the self-defense forms have grown and evolved over the centuries. 

Today, as I mentioned before, there are upwards of a thousand different martial art systems, all of which owe their earliest beginnings to our sport of wrestling. Listed below in chronological order are many of the more celebrated arts. They have been placed in a road map format so you might enjoy the journey just a little more.  

3000 BC – Wrestling, most likely goes back millions of years to prehistoric man if you believe in evolution or to Adam and Eve if you subscribe to theological beginnings. The first written mention of wrestling dates back to the tombs of Egypt. Then as it is now, it’s the world’s largest and most effective self-defense form. 

1500 BC – Boxing, made its official debut as one of the events in Greek pankration history.  Today it is looked upon more as a pugilistic sport than an effective form of self-defense.

759 BC – Jujitsu, is the art of the Samurai and a parent of Judo, Aikido and Hapkido. It is known for its specialization in the areas of joint locks and chokes.

557 BC – Shuai Chiao, Known in China as a throwing art. Its strategy is simple, to soften ones opponent with hand and foot strikes before moving in to launch him skyward with a bonebreaking throw.  

127 AD – Tang Soo Do, Korea’s oldest form of Karate. It is strictly self-defense in nature and is quite similar to modern day Taekwondo. 

210 AD – Hsing I Chuan, is a style known for its vigorous, powerful movements and abundant releases of internal energy. A close relative of kung fu given its fluid and graceful movements.

The MAGA Conservative Movement missed a great opportunity to wrest control from the far left factions and "Right this Ship". Is it the fault of McConnell? Did Trump turn too many people off? Was the failure of the Republicans not properly addressing the abortion issue the reason? Was it a combination of the aforementioned or some other factors/ Listen and find out. 

Strength & Honor! 

Master Phil 

Look - I’m not one of those “conspiracy purveyors” why? Because what I’m saying is true and backed by science:

It’s safe to say that some people are finally waking up. This is due to all of those out there questioning what is going on with the COVID vaccine, the association of our government and Big Pharma, the LACK of advice to boost our immune systems naturally, lose weight and get into shape.

The sales and projections are down, so what does the lapdog of Big Pharma, the CDC do? They try to expand their reach and recommend the COVID vaccine for children. Are they insane? The depths of their depravity will never cease to amaze me.

Join Master Phil and his special guest Jimmy Wagner as they go another Round with COVID! 

The state of our cities is one of pure bedlam. Crime rates soar, the respect for police law and order plummet. Inhabitants and visitors alike and in fear of being assaulted, robbed or murdered. The politicians do nothing to help as they police are further hamstringed. What can a person do to survive? Listen and find out. 

Is the far left promoting agendas that are removing the control and input that we have over our children? Are the schools, New Age Therapists, Social Media and other government agencies putting a wedge between us and our children? 

Master Phil and his guest, Martial Arts and Edged Weapons Expert, Guy Velella, discuss the proper and practical use of edged weapons for self defense and combat. EDC, every day carries, laws and effective techniques and strategies are all discussed. We also review a movie knife fight scene from Under Siege and two soldiers, Israeli IDF and US Army Airborne face off.  

We are all faced with adversity of varying degrees in our lives. How we address this adversity and the decisions that we make define who we are and whet we become. How will you react in the face of adversity? 

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor  Performance. Fail to Prepare, Prepare to Fail. Master Phil discusses how to become successful through proper preparation. Listen, learn and use these strategies to reach your goals and beyond! 

Strength and Honor!
