		<description><![CDATA[The Martial Arts are primarily feminine. Many would think this a strange statement until they start to look a bit deeper.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the primary methods for learning a martial art is repetition. Although our job as coaches is to make classes varied and interesting for the students, it is important that we constantly repeat particular actions, movements and sequences over and over again, which can get boring. We have all heard the phrase ‘practice makes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Learning any Martial Art in Basingstoke, it doesn’t matter whether it’s hard martial art like Karate, Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Ju Jitsu or Judo, is difficult. Many people even say that learning a soft Martial Art such as  Tai Chi, Aikido, Pa-Kua or Hsing is even harder. There is a typical scenario that happens with practitioners. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At our Basingstoke Martial Arts school we talk about developing the student ‘holistically’ or developing the ‘whole person’.  What does this mean? Some schools say that the sole purpose of training in the Martial Arts is to learn to fight and the rest is just ‘fluff’ and extraneous, but is a ‘fighter’ a Martial Artist? [...]]]></description>
