Craig Sira replied to the discussion 'Are FMA Teachers guilty of showing too much too soon?'"The students have th fighting spirit and technqiue already inside of them. I just give them a chance to expereince it. That which is already naturally inside of them. I instruct nothing but simply journey with them while sharing my…"

Craig Sira replied to the discussion 'Are FMA Teachers guilty of showing too much too soon?'"IMO it depends what is the objective of the training, the students and the instructor. My focus is self defense and I can raise someone's fighting skill level in hours. If you are teaching a martial art for culture etc reasons then…"
Craig Sira replied to the discussion 'Do women lack the "killer instinct" to be great fighters in the FMA?'"Welcome. Here is the wikipedia definition.

Craig Sira replied to the discussion 'DIY training equipment'"I just hang them from a tree branch or pile them about around an old stump or concrete with a wood post.

Craig Sira replied to the discussion 'Best Instructional DVD for FMA?'"The Dog Brothers Real Contact 6 video tape series taught me so much. For FMA, these are still my favorites - instructional and if you see it taught you see it fought. Great series."
Craig Sira replied to the discussion 'FMA is not a sport'"Not off the wall at all. You are totally correct but the biggest difference is street mindset and sporting mindset are correctly very different.

Craig Sira replied to the discussion 'FMA is not a sport'"Very good point on the impact of street stress had on sport training. Students should focus on one or the other.

Craig Sira replied to the discussion 'FEAR'"Proper training will allow you to focus the fear into power. Fear is a great thing and will energize your body. All normal people feel it and it it is good to feel it.
