I have a great boxing drill for anyone thats interested, it is a building drill for the heavy bag, that ends up being 1050 punches. It starts with jabs and ends up being a 6 punch combo.

I've been in real street situations, befor and after i started learning martial arts, and yes the proper training helps, but the 2 on 1 live training, and the full contact 1on1 sparring from striking to grappling until someone is either just covering up or submiting on the ground ( with safety equipment so you still have training partners) is the best thing i've ever found to prepare you for the street. No you can't do this every session, but once or twice a month is a big help for real world confidence. Even with all the gear on we still got the idea of what works, and what needs improvement.

Mas Oyama- for creating kyokushin under impossible conditions. Robert Fabrey- the man who taught the men who taught me my first martial art, and did all of our testings at his main school. I'm admiting my stupidity because i don't know if shorinji kempo was created from kyokushin and judo, but thats how he taught it, and i loved it. Chuck Norris- i like his movies and tv show, but i just read 2 of his books, and his ability to over come any obstacle, and his work with kids from all levels of society put him way up in my eye's. Bruce Lee- not for his movies, but for his courage to go against tradition, and create an art that changed what he felt was wrong with the traditional arts. Jackie Chan- because he makes the martial arts fun to watch for everyone even if they aren't martial arts fans. Jet Li- for making fighting with 1 hand look doable in cradle to the grave, and thats important to me with a bad arm.

Thanks for the welcome, i'm looking forward to talking to everyone.

Hello everyone, i'm new to the site. I've been in the martial arts for 17 years, i've studied kick boxing, shorinji kempo, shotokan, jiu-jitsu, kung fu, and boxing. Yes thats alot, but my only regret is, do to injuries, school closings, and a car accident that almost ended my life and destroyed my left arm, i never got my black belt in any style. I do have 2 brown belts and alot of time boxing and kick boxing. I'm still here and have started training again, and teaching my kids. I'm looking forward to talking to other martial artists again, i've been out of circulation for awhile.

I have been put in this possition befor, i like to teach, but agree that you shouldn't have to pay to teach. The only time i felt good about teaching the whole class, was when the instructor wanted me to teach them some of what i learned when i trained with another style for awhile. This made me feel good, because the people he took over for hated all other styles.

Thanks, i'll try that. For a long time i wasn't worried about my belt, because i knew my abilities, and knew that i could teach, because i was asked to by the instructors when they couldn't be there, and it always went well. The only problem is i would like to teach on a bigger scale, and 17 years of trainig doesn't seem to matter without a black belt.

I'm new on here, but i have a similar problem. I earned a brown belt at a school that went under do to money issues, and a brown with black stripe in another school, but was in a car accident that destroyed my left arm. I would love to get my black belt, but with 3 plates and 24 screws in my arm i can't fulfill the requirements to get it in my system. Plus in the 4 years since my accident, the school moved and i don't know where it is now. I can still do the techniques, but can't take any impact on my arm. I don't know what to do, i'm working out with my son's, and teaching them, but would like to get my black belt and teach others too.
