I recently broke my toe still aching a wee bit. Someone in my club told me that most martial artists with alot of experience will have broken all 10 toes and most of the time not really realise it.

well done you must be really chuffed

There is a time and a place for both movements. MA i find is alot like chess where you have to plan your actions three or four moves in advance

Turn left Mae Geri of front foot followed by backfist

I think Bruce Lee would have a chance in MMA. Even though he was a film star he still was incredablly fit and very obviously tallented in the Martial Arts. One thing i pick up on when watching UFC/MMA is over emphasis on ground fighting. Lee being small and fast may have been very hard for grapplers to catch and it is very evident he could strike with incrediable speed/force.

Yeah because Karate is Okinawan and not Japanese?

Good luck be sure to let us know how you get on.

Deffinately somthing i would like to do when im older

white red yellow orange green blue brown black (5 Dans, Mejin 5 degrees)

In Scotland one tradition for footballers was for them to break a egg yolk into a whisky and drink it in one on the morning of a game. However, not somthing i do.

Intresting points about the Shuto and the Jumping Kick. Some stuff there for me to go read up on/think about. cheers

well done

Well done

Shaving your head is the best defense against a hair grab surely ?

i totally agree these things happen and most of the time pose no problem its only when favouritism crops up that problems occur but that problem may not stem from love interest or anything like that.

I dont know about English Law but in Scotts Law if you can prove its for sport/recreation/work you wont be in any trouble for carrying nunchucks

Thank you i found the videos very helpfull. And it works managed to use the stuff on a bully last night who was trying to intimidate me.

I was bullied in school all the way through. Best advice is to stick up for yourself i know its hard although if you allow people to treat you that way in the long run youll have low self confidence and people will continue to treat you that way. If you look into NLP and propper responses to aggressive behaviour you can stand up for yourself in a non violent way which i think you are looking for here.

I ussually change into my Gi when i arrive at training sometimes ill already have the trousers on. We dont really get the weather in Scotland to wear a Gi outside the Dojo. I may put it on if i were to train in my house myself as it is a pracical uniform designed for martial arts so its easier to train in i find than say a tracksuit

Welcome

Some form of assault rifle if i lived in fantasy land where i could own such weaponry... Real world: Meat Cleaver as it is easily availiable and is designed to cut flesh

Knife hand or Shuto as we call it. They do make an impact

His thoughts at the start on the dojo are very misguided from my experience. The club where i train and my martial art in general is extremely open and accomidating to visitors/new members of all levels of skill and interest. Furthermore, the level of skill shown by the black belt is minimal at best and the most part of theassault is carried out using brute force and no skill aquired from careful study of martial arts. disgraceful behavior
