Mr. K. writes in the AKBAN journal about the Winning effect in fights.
Why do we tend to lose against some opponents while others do not do their best when fighting us?
Backed by scientific study the perspective in human beings seems much more complicated then in mice, but is it?

After much debate we decided on a very minimalistic sticker, no high flying kicks, no Japanese flag, no martial arts themes – just black AKBAN.
You can get one from your instructor. Hurry, while they last.
Mr. S. writes in the AKBAN journal about sanctifying arguments.
Holding pluralism and criticism as pinnacles of culture is a documented Jewish tradition and one that was independently adopted by various modern disciplines.
Using it to document and validate martial art’s techniques is the core of the AKBAN project.

The ACT weapon seminar that took place at Saturday the 10th, was a great event for all the AKBAN veterans who managed to take time of from their families.
Alexander Zhelezniak, or Alex as he insisted, demonstrated a superb battle form and comprehensive knowledge in western and oriental weapons and dominated the Dojo for more then an hour with real contact sword and spear fighting against many AKBAN veterans culminating in an amazing battle against three opponents all attacking in full speed with two handed western swords.
Alex and his top shape veteran students then continued in elaborating and explaining the simple and sound method they developed for MMA weapon sparring and learning.
This event marked another happy occasion for AKBAN veterans to keep learning from the best martial arts teachers in the world.

Alexander Zhelezniak, the founder of the ACT weapons school of fighting will give a special weapon seminar for AKBAN veterans.
The ACT school of fighting specializes in several weapons: Katana, two handed European Sword, Spear, knife, Jo and many more. Sparring in the ACT tradition is done using exact replicas and restorations of the original weapons, mimicking weight and balance. All the fighting is full force full contact.
The veterans of ACT use ancient manuscripts and existing knowledge to check and restore past techniques and integrate these into a working method that is applicable in fighting, similar to what is being done in AKBAN.
The first AKBAN meisterhau seminar will take place this Saturday, the 10th of November in the Tel Aviv Dojo.
