judobrah

yeah they have a place with aikkdo,kickboxing and krav maga thanks

i am gona problably gona start to do kickboxing but if i find a good karate/tkd school i wont think twice

thanks,all the karate schools are really far away frow home,but who knows waybe i will find a place,there is kickboxing,muay thai,aikido and and self defense classes in my place,but i am more into arts like karate,judo and boxing,i never was really that into mt or kickboxing

nop

yeah i dont think so,i have been exercising for over 2 years,and i dont need karate for my health,it doesnt ofer me anything that i dont already have in terms of endurance and health except mental strength i guess,i have my own reasons to train karate,and those reasons are self defense and competition/figthing,i dont think karate is only self defense(aldo is primary reason is self defense),but yeah like i said i am gona try to find a new place,i dont whant my hardworking mother to be waisting her money on something i am not even enjoying doing or having any positive results frow,if things change on that gym i will give it a second chance but i dont see it happening,and thanks sensei 8 i apreciate that

it doesnt work that whay,i am still a teen,so my guardians(in this case my mother) make the choice,all of the kk schools are 3-4 hours away,and my famaly doesnt have the money or the time for that,all the main kk schools are located in the north,so i will have to find a dojo or gym that is close to my house(maybe 15 minutes max),wich i will try to find,but i doubt i will be lucky since i have tried to research it before the style was shito ryu,and i have been interested in kk in a long time

first off thanks for all of your posts,i do understand the value of karate,and i am not going to start evaluating a style,just because off one bad experience,i did that before,but no more,here in potugal there is no wrestling,but there is a strong judo presence in this country,i think karate in general,tkd,kickboxing are also quite comon in this country,but yeah who knows i migth quit for now but if that gym changes in the future who knows....,i think i am gona lay off the martial arts for a while just to dedicate myself on lifting weigths and then try to find a new place,i hope my ex judo teacher changes his mind,i learned a lot when he beat me up in sparring

there isnt wrestling in portugal,i am mostly interested on a contact karate style,or just find a good judo school since my old teacher stoped teaching,boxing woudnt be to bad too....... btw i am still a minor

btw i have a lot of respect for the instructor,and just karate in general so my dream is to find a kyokyushin dojo

ok so its pretty much this -there is no one of my own age, only 10 year old kids that dont take karate seriously,and just play around all the time -there is no competition,sparring(kinda obvious) or realistic drillings -the instructor is constatly bailing classes,and doesnt seem to care at all about self defense so yeah,i am gona go to one last class tomorown morning and then leave the gym,it just isnt for me,i migth go looking for a better dojo the reason i quit wasnt because katas,forms e.t.c,the reason is there is no competition,sparring e.t.c,self defense is practly non existant,and i would like to have someone of my own age to train with,i am not enjoying it at all,when i look back at my judo lessons,i remenber sparring,realistic moves e.t.c(not like you strike with your finger in this spot and he will die),i am not hating on karate,i have huge respect for it,but i would like to find a new place to train,that has people of my own age,sparring e.t.c the karate classes are basicly over anyway,he hardly does have enough students there,because most of the parents took the kids away frown it,because they didnt seem to like the whay the instructor taugth them,so yeah that is pretty much it cheers to everyone

testicules strikes is the way to go

it was the first kata that i learned in shito ryu,the kata is short like 5 or 6 movements,there is like 2 tipes of elbows strikes then a elbow to the ground like your breaking something then it ends with you giving a back elbow like someone is behind you in a straight position

am i the only one that trows a side kick faster then a round kick or front kick?i always feel that round kicks take to much time to trow, but my side kicks are always kick and powerful to bad they are more difficult to land

taekwondo is god

kinda feel the same way brah

i thank all of you guys,but i am gona keep doing karate,just to see where it goes(they teach some nice moves to),and go back to judo when the teacher comes back,and if it doesnt workout,weel goodnight sweet karate,

that refuse to do the drills(yeas it is my businees because they are my training partner)i have all the right to have second toughts,and seyng the other students(only ages 6-13,some other others ,quit i think)no i do not think i will learn TRUE karate when you learn to defend yourself,but rather a crappy,whaterdowned,no contact or realistic drills version of it,and i rather practise kb an judo and train hard achually learning sometimes then learning a semi mcdojo version of karate

and btw i do practise everything with discipline and dedication ,you guys are having the wrong ideia,when i went to judo i give it my all trained really hard,i never refused to do anything ever,but god dammit i am not forced to like kata(i know it is useful),waybe with time,i will spar(yeah preety obvious),do the drills,kata and have everything but if i feel like the atmosphere of the place its kinda like 0% sparring,young high belts that are extremely annoyng(i am not the only thinking this,

calm down man, i have respect for everyone and i do have a lot respect for the wowen that his a black belt(never said it otherwise),i respect everyone but i dont have a problem with the girl,but it is difficult to practise it when every single damm kid is yelling all the time and refusing to do the drills,when i go to the class i do everything the teacher says,including kata(cant be forced to like it),but jeez man i have the right to whant some stuff in my training(like sparring even light)

kick question,in your personal opinion how safe woud it be to trow a round kick in lets say a street fight(i am not gona get into any one e.t.c) i am not taking in consederation the person using it,how do you feel about this kick and how useful he can be in real situations,just whant to hear some opinions,btw if you feel like it you can say how frequent and how do you train it

you just need to do some sparring bro

i was bullied when i was younger too learned a lot, what changed after you started to take karate?did you need to use it?did they know you took karate?sorry if it is impersonal,just curious,take care

i mean 9 year old girls that refuse to do the drills and are always yelling about anything,not bad atitude man just having second toughts

the judo teacher just doesnt care anymore,its been like in 4 months i had about 8 trainings if that and for the next two weeks hes not gona teach,btw the girl achually competed in the big tournaments,she teached me my firs armbar and i spar with her all the time,and about karate this is a swall tow and the second gym i goo to its far frow here,i mean i like the classes but i am like "why am i even doing this ",i am not learning anything besides kata and i mean i dont like doing drills with 5'3 girls

in a scale of 1-10 how hard woud it be for someone to give a head kick in the respective catagories -decent martial artist -good martial artist with very respectable kicks - extremely good athlete,lets say a bb in tkd(no mcdojo) very solid fighter, and i am not having ideias
