Taekwondo and Khan Do Kwan Demonstration

The video of demonstration presented by Master Javed Khan and his team, at the ISU (Indiana State University) Indian Global Night. The young boy in red Martial Arts uniform is Master Khan's son. Last time I saw him was at Master Khan's home in Mumbai, when he was 3 years old. Now he is performing in Martial Arts demonstration with his Dad. He has also won some Martial Arts Championships.

Master Javed Khan performs the Martial Arts form, Hyung as it is called in Tae Kwon Do and Kata in Karate. One can see how Master Khan's body with grace, power, speed and balance during the form.

Then is the demonstration of self defense against threat with gun, followed by breaking. Master Khan performs some breaking with turning and spinning kick, which includes blind folded kicks also. Ending up with some power breaking of cement blocks.

Master Javed Khan upcoming movie

My Martial Arts Instructor, who had been more than just Martial Arts instructor to me, Master of Khan Do Kwan and Taekwondo, Javed Khan, will be starring in upcoming Hindi Movie 'The Fighter', produced by J. K. International films. Master Khan does not just has the lead role in the movie but the movie is Written, Directed, Produced and Action Choreography by GRANDMASTER JAVED KHAN. A great effort indeed. I wish all the best for this endeavor.

Having spent much time with him, I know the intensity and energy Master Khan puts in what ever he does, that should make this movie a good one and a hit.

This is the promo video of the same movie. Below is the promo of song from the movie. Hope you like this online streaming videos on you tube. The first promo video of the trailer of movie could have bigger pictures, so before the song is the trailer with bigger pictures.

Khan Do Kwan Defense Training

In the video post Tae Kwon Do vs MMA was the mention of my Martial Arts Instructor Master Javed Khan, and Khan Do Kwan .

Well i received a mail about Khan Do Kwan from the Master himself addressed to all his dear students and Instructors. Below is what the Master has to say about Khan Do Kwan

My Dear Students and Instructors:

Khan Do Kwan Defense Training is NOT martial art or combat sport training. In fact, it is more like firearms training than anything else.

Martial arts and sports teach you to concentrate on extreme specifics and subtleties. You are constantly aware of your training partner or opponent and your reaction is VERY target and situation specific. This is not the case in Self Defense.

When you use firearms you're more concerned with the distance and position of your threat and less concerned with exactly what your threat is doing. You're concerned with ending the situation as fast as possible. Since you are trained to assume the WORST (your attacker is armed, has intent and has friends) you KNOW what you are going to do. You just need to adapt your skills to the situation.

Proper self defense training teaches you to develop specific motor skills and how to apply them to a any situation. The point being that you need to concentrate more on what you do and less on what your assailant does.

With a specific set of high percentage, proven techniques you will have the tools to handle any situation. Lets take three basic techniques: the edge of hand, the chin jab and the eye gouge. If trained incessantly, honestly and intensely for a even a short period of time you will have something real in your arsenal that you could apply successfully standing, on the ground or in a grab.

Using a firearm is similar. After you understand the fundamentals of firing the weapon, you learn to apply those fundamentals to any situation. You're less concerned with what your attacker does and more concerned with how you can put rounds into him and stop him in his tracks. Self defense requires the exact same mind set. You're looking for anyway to hack, smash or gouge your assailant to end the threat as quickly as possible.

Self defense doesn't waste time with a million "what if" questions. It focuses on the "How to" solutions.

Until Next Time, Train Honestly,


Grandmaster (Acharya) Javed Khan

TKD vs. MMA

I happen to watch this online video titled Tkd vs MMA. The video is not for weak at heart, certainly i did not enjoy it. The brutality of this competition. It is suppose to be a cross competition between a Tae Kwon Do practitioner with a Pro MMA fighter in the MMA rules.

The Tae Kwon Do fighter had minimum chances as the game was played under MMA rules, poor guy was floored by the MMA fighter and Taekwondo guy obviously had no training about ground fighting or grappling or how to counter it. Poor man was brutally treated, however that is what MMA stands for brutal fights with brutal fighters.

My Taekwondo Instructor Master Javed Khan, used to train us in other aspects of Martial Arts and other fighting arts like boxing, ground fighting, grappling techniques and their escapes. He believed and beleives in total fighting techniques, and has developed a new Martial Art called Khan Do Kwan which covers all the aspects of fighting.
