Black Belt Wiki provides visitors with free written and video instructions for katas, forms & patterns , physical fitness exercises , kicking techniques , punches & strikes , grappling techniques and much more . This website also tries to provide information on all of the major martial arts styles or systems such as Aikido , Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu , Hapkido , Judo , Karate , Krav Maga , Kung Fu , Mixed Martial Arts , Muay Thai , Taekwondo , Tang Soo Do and Tai Chi . We also cover the sub-styles of major martial arts (i.e. Karate sub-styles such as Shotokan , Kyokushin , Shito-Ryu , Wado-Ryu , Shorin-Ryu , Goju-Ryu , etc.). Moreover, this martial arts wiki provides details about many of the less well-known martial arts styles and systems (i.e. Sherlock Holmes’ Bartitsu ) because we believe that every martial arts style provides students with useful and/or unique techniques. Examples of Black Belt Wiki Sections Kata & Forms – This section covers the kata & forms of Shotokan, Taekwondo, Kyokushin, etc. Martial Arts Styles – List of 180+ major & minor martial arts styles.

If you are an existing martial arts student, we want to help you progress and to get ready for your next belt test. We want to reinforce and supplement your existing martial arts training by giving you information on more advanced techniques (i.e. kicks, self-defense, katas, etc.) and help you “relearn” techniques & katas that you practiced (and forgot) years ago. We also want to help you “cross train” so you can learn about new martial arts techniques and styles in order to help you become a more complete martial artist. Moreover, we want to help you improve your martial arts flexibility, power and endurance by providing you with detailed sports fitness information on stretching , conditioning , strength training , yoga , balance training , etc. Black Belt Wiki is not trying to duplicate Wikipedia because that wiki does a great job providing lengthy summaries of subjects (such as the history of a specific martial arts style). However, Wikipedia is not adequate for learning fitness exercises, martial arts techniques and katas/forms because it lacks detailed instructional videos and written step-by-step instructions… thus the need for a dedicated instructional martial arts website. We want this website to be a martial arts library which is free for all visitors and open 24 hours a day. Add Knowledge Please add information to this martial arts website in order to make it even better. Everyone is welcome to provide information and/or suggestions… as long as you are serious about helping others learn about physical fitness and martial arts techniques/styles. Share your knowledge and help beginning martial arts students. We hope you will contact us about adding step-by-step kata instructions, kicking techniques, exercise information, terminology or even a single sentence that helps to better explain a difficult technique or exercise. Any work done on this martial arts website (even a tiny edit to fix a spelling mistake) will help martial arts students everywhere! Martial Arts Books Stuck at home?
