It's a new week, so you know what that means! We are literally running out of room to keep all of the new karate stuff that keeps pouring in.

Either way you slice it, you've got a really good chance of finding something here that you or someone you know will love. Martial arts novelties have never looked this fun.

To say that 'some' controversy surrounds the Boxing vs MMA popularity debate would be like saying Manny Pacquiao is a 'little bit' popular in the Philippines. Strong opinions from die hard fans of both sports can be found on all arenas of the internet. So how does one go about determining once and for all who the real winner is between the two? Well we think we've finally found a way to settle once and for all who comes out on top in the popularity contest between the sweet science and the mixed martial arts.
Will boxing fans leave the fight with a nice helping of smug satisfaction? Maybe. Will MMA fans finally get the tap out they've been looking for? Perhaps. Will the fighting metaphors keep coming like a relentless series of rabbit punches? Yes. Yes they will.

Sparring with a live opponent can be the ultimate test for a martial artist. There are some things you need to consider first before rushing into an intense sparring session. Do you have the right equipment, for example? Before you decide on any martial arts sparring gear be sure to ask your instructor what he or she recommends. They will be able to tell you precisely what equipment you will need for your sparring time and training. Some schools will be even be able to recommend the size you will need as well as explain how the equipment should correctly fit.

Of the nearly countless forms of martial arts styles practiced today, perhaps none invoke more imagery than the legendary Kung Fu. To even hear the two words together brings to mind a flood of classic images. Hundreds of orange-robed monks training in synchronized harmony in the lush grounds of a Chinese monastery. A yellow jumpsuit-clad Bruce Lee unleashing a flurry of fists and feet too fast for your eye to even follow. David "Grasshopper" Carradine snatching a pebble from an open hand. No other fighting style in the past century has captured the public eye like Kung Fu. It is one of the most recognized and romanticized styles ever known. It is also the style that people know almost nothing about.
