The first volume of the Prana Martial Arts Training Guides, drawn from Master Paul Rana's 25+ years of experience in the martial arts, the Prana Martial Arts Student Handbook is an innovative curriculum drawing from traditional Tae Kwon Do (ITF and WTF), Hapkido, and the practical applications of boxing, kickboxing, Judo, and MMA.
This volume is full of historical and philosophical lessons with an in-depth exploration of the ancient characters of Korean history as well as the classical I-Ching as a primary source of inspiration for traditional Tae Kwon Do philosophy.
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and meditation with the Eastern Chakra system rounds out this philosophical and practical handbook of the martial arts.

Jump up and get some movement going today! Grab your partner or kid and have some fun learning five ways to defend a lunge punch with Paul Edward Rana.
"One-step sparring" is an easy way to drill and practice defense & counterattack from a basic lunge punch. They start easy, and progress into more complexity including throws and take-downs. The idea is we do them again and again until the responses become automatic.
Of course, be careful and take things slow!
