As a long time student of martial arts I often wish my friends and other close to me would practice any form of self defense. I worry that they might not be able to defend themselves if need be. I know you cannot force someone to start a practice but I try to encourage them to be fit and aware of their surroundings. Is it my role to try and get another person to start training? Even though they I know they must have that innate desire, or arrive on that thought to begin themselves.
An open hand strike like a nukite can be much more lethal than a punch, but can only be effective if your hand and fingers have been strengthened for it.
Style: Isshinryu Rank: Ni Kyu Days: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I train under one of the students of Grandmaster Willie Adams, and have been doing so for the last 8 years.
Well right now im in Adelaide, Australia. And I was just wondering because there are loads of street preformers here, and Im pretty strapped for cash. I think im gonna give it a go tomorrow morning.
Just a question. You know how in some places you see street musicians and magaicians, people juggling and stuff. What does everything think about maybe doing katas, or something like that as a way to earn some chump change?
Not sure how he would like to travel up to Michigan, but this is the only tournament I know of. http://www.naikc.org/ You can find the list of rules and stuff on the site.
In alot of sports, we can practice with the team but when it comes to game time, we are left out because were not the best. But karate is diffrent first of all becasue its an individual sport and an art. You learn at your own pace, and I love it
Haha, everyone seems to know so many more katas than me. Ive been practicing Isshinryu for about 5 years and all I know is, Seisan Seiuchin Naihanchi Wansu Chinto
http://www.naikc.org/ Just wondering if anyone else has looked into going to this tournament. I dont live to far from where its being held, so I may attend.
