Hey What's up y'all! I know I've been gone for a minute. Been a little busy with work and stuff but I am back, and ready to give y'all brand spanking new posts. This one is pretty cool.
Now I am a big martial arts fan. I've been practicing for years and I love to learn about new ones. While youtube living one day I came across this video about a Martial Arts style that was forged on the streets of New York by Black Street Boxers. This Martial Arts Style is called 52 Blocks.
52 Blocks is a like boxing except without rules. The utilize quick hand and torso movements to set up attacks. It is best suited for fighting in small area confined areas. Check out this video the New York Times did on the fighting style. For mor info about 52 Blocks check out the website http://www.52blocks.tv/
The 52 Blocks Martial arts style is also closely affialiated with The Bartendaz. A fitness regimen which was also started through street culture. The utilize structures you can find anywhere like a city park or playground to do their unorthodox workout routines. This stuff must work because these dudes looked jacked, and they aren't lifting weights.It's a revolutionary fitness style that is starting to get a lot of recognition. It's refreshing to see positive things coming from street culture as opposed to the violence and poverty that is show to us on tv. Check out the Bartendaz in this video
