dont forget squat jumps

theres a setup for the the spining hook kick, its the roundhouse kick, the round kick is the mostfamou setup for the spin hook kick or back kick, its not impossible to you a spinning hook or back, although i know what you mean i have a hard time landing my spin ook kick too.

its a movie unfortunately no one can be like Jet li in THE ONE< no once can shoot blasts from there hads and fly while doing martial arts fighting, and the most a man can do is probably this but youll have to be at the level of a pro UFC fighter to do this, and a good one at that: they say that he fought like 12 guys at once, but he was still messed up and went to the hospital. but still i lhtink urijah is still awesome, no homo..

you have good spelling no worries!

lol im sure i can get around fast enough its really the accuracy and speed of the kick part. but im really training my spin moves so hopefully i will be able to use them in a full contact fight.

would u think it safer to follow up with a spin move? or to just follow up with a leg check?

in most martial arts competiions Kicking is more points than punching, takes more skill i guess, oh yea and i give you props man, sorry but i havnt heard of a kickboxer who actually uses more kicks than just the boring roundhouse and frontkick, and rthen to land them like that, i think thats awesome, props again man! Really? haha, I'm trying not to laugh thinking of how many kickboxers I know personally and huge ones that do more than just the roundhouse and front kick. I've seen a sliding side kick used many times, it's almost like a front kick used by San shou guys alllllllllll the time and a similar kick was used by Benny 'the jet' urquidez. Bill superfoot wallace wasn't called superfoot for nothing. Don "the dragon" wilson had a plethora of kicks and he trained under Wallace, so, go figure. Savateurs use many different types of kicks not seen in most kicking oriented arts. People with a Kyokushin background have used many flashy kicks in competition that go beyond the front and roundhouse kick. Kickboxing...at professional level is about making money, and someone that wants longevity in the "sport" wants to have some showmanship. I advise you watch more professional cards. -please take not i wasnt trying to insult at all, sorry if i did yea thats what i was talking about, i meant kickboxing in the UFCMMA WEC, etc. i watch alot of that, and i know the guys probably do know more kicks than just the roundhouse and front kick, but its just that whe theyre in action i usually never see anything like a spin kicki, back kick, i have seen side kick probably, but thsat can also be rare, but i wasnt trying to insult, infact i think its otally awesome to see a kickboxer who actually uses mor variety of kicks, lol im sorry but im a fan of spin kick knockouts, thats why, anyhoo congrats on you win though. You're talking about MMA, not Kickboxing. There is a huge difference and until the last few years MMA has been lacking some good strikers and if you want to talk about "good Kickboxer" like stylists in MMA just look at Anderson Silva and GSP. If you want to watch kickboxing and stuff similar to it, watch WMC sanctioned fights, K-1, Ichigeki, Kakutogi, Shootboxing, K-U, and even Kyokushin, Enshin, Ashihara, Shidokan(which is the "triathalon"), Kudo and more kinds of fights. The latter that I mentioned are styles that have full contact competition where you might see some of the types of knockouts you're desiring. ok so ur saying that the striking in kyokushin, or k-1, is better than mmA? THAT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME TO ACTUALLY ANALYZE THAT, BUT I THINK UR PROBABLY right, mma is known alot more for ground game, and k-1 is mostly about striking, but kyokushin? how come u say that, i havnt really seen a karate before besides toshinikai that actually has face contact, so u think that kyokushin would be good in k-1 or mma? btw i havnt evru heard of k-u or WMC, would the happen to be more exciting?

yea i luv watching cung le fight, its gr8 to see a spinning back kick or spin kick every once in a while in MMA.

I was, at first, confused by the videos under "shuriken86" and the reference to "age 22"; then I saw that in both the YouTube personal statement and in the thread, above, that you're sixteen, Tai, not twenty-two. I enjoyed the videos, seeing that you held your own rather well. Your present belt rank is blue, but I don't know your art well enough to determine where that is on the ranking scale. In Soo Bahk Do, blue is used instead of black for dan ranking; perhaps in your art, Moo Yea Do, blue isn't the same, so I wondered where that places you. Another forum member who might be your age had a video of his first tournament, and explained where he was in rank. Have you been in a number of tournaments? If you're wondering why I'm emphasizing age and rank, it has to do with a posting you have in another place, about switching to Muay Thai, and yet you haven't completed dan ranking in Moo Yea Do. Also, if you go by the tournament videos, we're seeing a talented sixteen-year-old learning the ropes. You're still in high school, aren't you, Tai? There was an interview with a martial artist (I imagine in the UFC) whose martial arts training went right through his college years and into the world of work; he was a math teacher for a few years, fought when he could, and then became an MMA pro. If you continue both your academic education as well as your martial arts one, and if you especially remain close to your instructor (with whom I'm assuming you reviewed your videos) and heed his advice, then when you're on your own in the future as an adult, you'll be able to determine that answer for yourself. It's great to have dreams, Tai, in your case to be an MMA pro, but it's hard to tell if at age sixteen you should make this your life's goal. By all means, stay with it; learn your own art first and others as well; get an education so as to have a livelihood while you're an adult in martial arts training. I think that when you've had more tournaments and earn that dan ranking, you'll know your stengths and weaknesses, and will be better able to decide if you want to focus first on where your education brought you, and make martial arts a close second, or if the MMA pro road is the right one for you. thank you very much Joe, but im planning on being an MMA pro, to get my nameknown, then i will open my own dojo, but unfortunately, no i havnt shown my sensei any of my oturnaments, he doesnt go to tournaments, and there really isnt anyway i know how to, seeing how he i s always in the dojo, but yea i will hvae a sideline job. thnks you very much again! i just wanted to know what ppl think i should work on, and if they thought i was possibly good enough. i dont mind if the comment is negative, so please dont be afraid to croitique!

yea i really do, but i think i kinda already learned some mhuay thai, i know how to do boxing jab correctly, and upper cut, and hook punch correct also

ok well in my karate class they say its aactually bad to spin around like that after the roundhouse, but someitmes i find myself having to do it anyhoo. but but u think its safer to do the roundhouse and spin back around 360, or just do the roundhouse and snap itback to your fighting stance?

wow....

i would like to beleev that we humans can gain some sort of, power, and that were not just stuck with our normal boring limiations, and can use chi to surpass and keep going passed our limits...however i havnt seen it accom[plished yet, i mean we dont even know yet if those masters of qigong are just doing that from years of practice or just phycing us out. but id like to beleev that A- it is real, and B- that we can use it to surpass our limits. right now idont know if it s real or not.

yes i think the striking part is more exciting because of the diversity of technique in it, unlike UFC they actually use more martial stuff, although it is always more fun to see a LANDED spinning back kick in UFC seeing how rare it is! Cung Le's awesome When I saw this link, I decided to visit, and I was so interested in what I saw, I went to the official web site. There are a number of videos there that made me bookmark it for future visits. I went through the thread and found there are a number of rules that I'll have to learn to understand better, and I realize everyone isn't in agreement about what rules should or shouldn't be there, but if this organization is no different from any other, then there's nothing special to offer. I think that the comment made about more "martial" may simply mean non-grappling, and no criticism was intended. Personally, I prefer the "slug it out" with foot and fist over grappling, but those in the grappling arts, or who incorporate grappling into their art, are looking for how their techniques could be applied effectively, and so may not be as interested. Well, that's diversity of appeal for you; we don't all think and feel alike. One or two of the postings in the thread referred to past times. I remember when full-contact karate with the minimum of protective gear was first presented on the air, and it was limited in the number of rounds the fighters would go. They would hurl themselves at one another, hammering away, really putting on a good fight show. As more and more rounds were added in, the fighters realized they had to pace themselves for longer bouts, and one after the other spoke of honing his "boxing skills." I remember the eight kick rule being needed, as the fighters were doing what I recall was becoming referred to as "bad boxing," the kicks taking too much energy from the fighters. Frankly, that's when I lost interest. This is a welcome comeback for me. I think it's great to have different organizations with rules that distinguish themselves from one another. One organization might appeal to those who are adherents of a certain kind of fighting, another organization might appeal to those who adhere to a different kind, and there are always the martial arts fans who want a choice of everything, from boxing bouts to WCF ones, to UFC. so u mean that UF, and all this MMA stuff, used to have actually more martial arts in it than just roundhouse kick? but becasue they got tired they started doing more boxing?

well my teachers name is Paul Yang, he is the headmaster, but my grandmasters name is Tiger Yang, theyve been in movies, and some of the black belts tell me that theyre in movies and u can find em on youtube. buuut yea WAY OF DICIPLINED ART, its mostly karate, but we have taekwondo sparring rules inside the dojo, and its non-point system and continous sparring, but unlike karate, we can do lead hand to the body instead of side of the head, and no head contact though. and we use our hands way more than taekwondo. infact...i mostly score with my hands anyhoo.

damn i wish my dad was that much into my martial arts as you are! i think its cool that u have a lot of interest in ur sons martial careeer. of course my parent do also, just not as much as you.
