A true master is a master of his own art. Mastering flexibility and adaptability.

Mastering of his own art is what makes you, you. A style of martial arts is of one image of ones self. I created Warrior Rage KickBoxing. It is who I am, how I fight and of myself.

Mastering flexibility is to be flexible of change, which coincides with adaptability.

Mastering adaptability – your not going to fight everyone the same way all the time. You may have to adjust your fighting stance or techniques to meet your needs to come out on top. This is were consistent training, the persistent hunger for knowledge, the flexibility to change for the better your style will create a much better and unique technical fighter.

A lot of the old styles of training and techniques are good, but so are the new training techniques. Some instructors feel that training in only the old styles is best, while other’s forget the old styles and go all new. I prefer to do both training and teaching in the old and new styles. You limit yourself and your students if you think only one sided.

Quote #5

There are all sorts of styles of judgments or prejudging people or arts coming from various individuals and many ways. I’ve seen it come from different professions such as any of our elected officials or different professions and management or even religious figures such as ministers or pastors or even different martial artist prejudging the different arts without even being involved in that art directly or having trained in the art that they are judging. So I’m always reminded of a old quote from the bible:

Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged

Jesus

My theory in Weaponry

Learning the Nunchaku is something I believe that helped me in achieving the expertise that I have achieved today. It’s something out of the ordinary training and its something that I was better at than most. Its also part of the training that I think helped make my hand techniques faster as well as gaining the focus I needed.

In learning weaponry and being a master of a weapon, I would consider, that for every screw up there’s a new move to be made. For every technique made, there’s an opposite that can be achieved.

Be open minded and persistent when teaching weaponry or practicing weapons. I always like to crank up some tunes when working out on weapons. Weapons are a good way to add another workout and it will also help gain speed and coordination in your hands.

In developing a kata for weapons, consider a weapon as just a extension of your arm. That might help in the development a of a weapons kata. Both my self and my students have used Kata’s in this book to help develop a weapons kata.  The first Kata is very basic, it sets the standard form, and is good to build your weapons form off of. I’d suggest using that as a format. What I would do is create specific combinations using your weapon of choice. Probably create 4 or 5 combinations, then put those combination into the form (kata).

Chapter 1

Introduction

Lance Yearling and Scott (going through some techniques, 2008) 

S

cott Bolinger is the founder of the Warrior Rage Kickboxing Style and author of this book. I’ll start off this book with an introduction of myself, my experiences and hopefully you’ll have a better understanding of what it takes to be a successful fighter and/or coach whether it be for karate,  tae kwon do , kickboxing, boxing, MMA or just to enhancing other sports by creating tone, flexibility and good hand/eye coordination.  A lot of the explanations or examples in this book is structured as a coach talking to a student.

While I was growing up, as a kid I did have many interests in different sports. My first sport was baseball and gymnastics. About 7th grade I got into weight lifting. My father who was the 1965 Mr. Nebraska taught me the proper way to lift weights. Then 8th and 9th grade I participated in wrestling. I started using martial arts weapons when I was 15. Mainly messing around with throwing stars and nunchakus. But I didn’t get enrolled in a martial arts school until I was 16 years old. And martial arts came very natural to me. With the combination of weight lifting and martial arts, it made me a faster and more powerful fighter. I was able to see a punch beginning to happen and pop up a sidekick or roundhouse kick faster than most people can throw a punch. The first art I studied was Shotokan Karate. I studied that for about 7 months, then went to just training myself for quite a while. I also studied Tae-kwon-Do, Kenpo, Jukaido, Boxing and Chinese KickBoxing from various schools. But my primary art was always Shotokan.

I started competing in point tournament fights after I received my orange belt in Shotokan. I did try a few tournaments competing with weapons, kata and kumite, but I just found for myself that the Kumite was my expertise. I was more comfortable with kumite, because I was able to be zoned out so the crowd never bothered me, but when I did weapons or form I was always a little nervous.

One of the things that helped me in my fighting skills is that I had 5 buddies that I always trained and sparred with about every day. I believe in your development as a fighter, having one or more training partners would be a big help. That way you’re not just doing the standard 2-day work out per week. To be better than the best, you have to go above and beyond your standard workout.

C:\Users\Scott\Pictures\2016-06-18 military pic\2.jpg In 1987 I won the Paha Sapa Championships. Which back then was a pretty big tournament. Also in 1987 I went on to win an open Tae Kwan Do tournament in Scottsbluff, then shortly after that I joined the Airforce and spent some time in Germany and competed in a few tournaments there. When I competed in Germany, that was the first time I ever lost a match. I lost 2 matches over there. But it was in 1988 that I eventually started writing this book. Jotting down what I learned, what extra training I did to make me such a good fighter. Basically going through my personal inventory of what I did to become a good fighter and what I was missing in my training then and worked on getting back on track. And also I would have a reference guide to fall back on so I didn’t forget training techniques. I was honorably discharged from the AirForce in 1990. Then I decide to do a try one in the Army National Guards. After that I got a job working at a manufacturing plant, which was pretty much a dead end job for about 9 years. In that time frame, I hardly ever trained.

In the year of 2000 I had a change in jobs and started working for the YMCA. At that time I started back into training regularly as well as getting back to writing in my book. Working at the YMCA, I supervised basketball and volleyball. I started getting into shape again and eventually took on a couple of students to train in karate. With the extra time on my hands I also diversified some income investing into stocks and rental property. The rental property did all right for a couple of years. It created the extra income to support some of my training needs. The stocks, most of them did so bad I’d rather not talk about that..lol... But some times you gotta have a sense of humor about investments.

In 2002 I expanded my training and had my training sessions more open rather than just personal training. That kicked up my students to about 20 kids. And at that time we were training outdoors. So when it started getting into winter I had to shut down. Having to do that, I started on my quest to learn how to start up a Boxing and Kickboxing school. And also to learn how to raise money to buy a building. I went through a controversy on weather filing for for-profit or non-profit. I finally decided to go with the non-profit organization and got my non-profit status in Dec2002 and reopened to start training in January 2003 and created the boxing and kickboxing school called the Warrior Rage Civic Center, with my style of fighting called Warrior Rage KickBoxing. During that break time I also structured the katas to fit my own personal style of fighting. As a rule of thumb, practicing your katas on a daily bases will create better focus and enhance your fighting ability. Through a persistent effort I found someone to donate the use of their building and I also took on 2 volunteer coaches and

we set up a training schedule for the boxers and kickboxers. At that time I found a pretty big interest in the boxing techniques and training and started incorporating that into my kickboxing style and it worked extremely well. And I got a real kick out of seeing my fighters change, and grow into mature respectable fighters and athletes. 

Looking back at the two losses in German, I guess I’m still a little pissed about that. But I also think, if I wouldn’t have had the loss, that maybe I wouldn’t have wrote this book and maybe I wouldn’t of grown into such a good coach. But, I’m not saying I wouldn’t mind competing against those guys again. I wouldn’t mind that at all.

The school I ran on 1st in Box Butte in Alliance , ran for about 6 or 7 months, and then I closed it down do to , the owner of the building wasn’t someone I’d have associate with the kids I train. So, for the safety of the kids I closed it down to look for another place.  But, I continued training out of my home, then in January 2003, opened up a gym in Chadron with some help from Joe Simmons, who also runs the Native American Center in Chadron. I met him when I was on the board for a youth club and campaigning for a City Council spot. At close to the same time frame I expanded the school and started teaching at the Pine Ridge Job Corps. Ran that for about a year, then when the Job Corps changed the athletics coordinator position, they got rid of the boxing program. I then moved to 507 Niobrara in Alliance and from there, I was able to set up a better training program there. So the business started expanding well there and I set up a website at www.warriorrage.com to help with promotions and keep track of events for all martial arts styles which would include kickboxing, boxing, karate, tae kwon do ...etc.  MMA was growing quickly and I  started getting requests to help fighters get ready to compete in that, so I jumped in on that and started training MMA athletes, mainly helping with their stand up game.

In August 2006 I started up a KickBoxing federation called the WarriorRage KickBoxing Federation and had my first fight under the WRKF rules on February 2007 in McCook, NE. I did a exhibition match against Matt Golding out of McCook, NE , who later that year took 1st in the Cornhusker state games in Tae Kwon Do. That exhibition match put me a #1 in the WRKF black belt heavy weight divisions and put Matt as #1 in the mens green/purple belt division. The style of competition that I wrote up for the WRKF is set up as a continuous point sparring competition. Would be similar to international rules, but as a point based system. I expanded another website that describes in details of my federation and It covers the rules and regulations at www.wrkf.us .  I’m still trying to expand that and eventually have a state and regional meet. Our start off and introduction to this style of competition was by working with a promoter out of Wyoming (Cory Williams). Cory has ran several pro boxing events, MMA and Muay Thai matches. So I worked with him to do some exhibition and champion ship fights within his federation. As well as working with Josh Usera and putting on some exhibition matches in Rapid City South Dakota at his karate tournaments.

The new place at 507 Niobrara in Alliance is
