oh yeah, why's that?

So you do full force on the groin ? kicks, knees, palm slaps, groin grab and twists? When we do wear cups there is still some restraint used. Honestly how often do you want to practice full out grappling when your instructor uses a backhand to the groin to escape(no cup)? Also, what is the point of wearing shin and instep pads?

If you are powering out of locks then you are not using proper technique.

Last time i checked karate was a martial art. What is the point of learning it if you do not train to use it effectively?

try it. it's a really easy move

nope

in terms of what? They have more coloured belts.

from your list i'd say judo or jujutsu if the school is any good. These arts seem to have better quality control which is more than I can say for a lot of cma.

Yeah that's an oldie but goodie.

Hmmm, best to don a flame proof suit while in here. As much as we make fun of americans, it's more like a brother bugging a brother. Once they stop throwing this big tantrum things will get back to normal and we'll all be friend again.

Well when alberta seperates you can invade them too.

but its got stifler in it!

The movie section is hilarious.

I'm getting ill just looking at their episode stills. Silk outfits and poor stances o-my.

It wouldn't be such a big problem if black belts weren't handed out so easily.

It's the style of wrestling used in the olympics and is taught as a competition sport at the senior high and collegiate level.

Shaolin TKD, now I've heard it all.

My university gym is really cheap, maybe try a school around you.

JJF, I've heard two variations on that story. Both start with Wong studying shaolin boxing and being consistently beat by his senior. When his senior left the temple Wong vowed to improve his skill. He later witnessed the battle between the mantis and cicada. He studied and incoporated some of the movements of the mantis with shaolin boxing. He also looked at the movements and footwork of monkeys. Here's where the two variations come out. 1) this new system was superior and when wong fought his senior again, he easily defeated him. or 2)Wong was still defeated by his senior but not as easily. This was credited to the knowledge gap in martial skill between the two. The movements were still recognized as valuable and they were later refined by more experienced monks. I'd say the kicking base in the mantis system is strong. It's base system is shaolin and retains alot of their strategy and movements.

hmmm, don't really have one because the food is better at home. Sometimes a burger is a good change up from the regular cuisine.

We study mantis boxing at my club. white black

Jet li is a 5 time modern wushu champion. He knows how to move.

Let's hope the war ends quickly. There would be peace without the upcoming war.

Seven is the first that comes to mind. Movies where the bad guy wins are the best.
