Before I wish to start breaking, if I ever get the chance to, I would have to put myself through some serious body conditioning, its no good damaging myself. I believe that before somebody can do breaking they must be of a certain grade or age. And must have had a knowledge of Body conditioning, otherwise you may have some broken bones on your hands!

Congratulations TKD_McGee Makes a change from the yellow belt!

Welcome to the boards KSN Doug! Its a pleasure to have you here!

I am in, DEFINATLEY!!!

Excellent!Now he can say, I am part of karateforums.com on the TV! he he he!

have you thought of trying another style of Karate as well as do the style you are doing now, cos Shotokan - more basic Kentokai - more fight orientated

Sorry to hear about your cat.Anyway CONGRATS don't it feel wierd with a different clour belt on,it will for a few lessons!

Heya M8, nice screen name. Enjoy the boards. Happy Posting

Gold dragon, you have misunderstood me and kickbutt, we will still be visiting the site.THANKYOU very much KarateKa.Those words mean a lot to me!

Cheers M8! BTW, in my earlier post in this thread it states that I am a 1st kyu, I have now obtained my 1st DAN! Just for the record!

Thanx guys.I will still be visiting quite often as an active user,I love the site and all of you peeps on here. *Bows with respect*

Out of the 60+ kata, how many would you say you know!

Where as karate is well rounded,Taekwondo is less rounded but works on things in more focus.Shotokan karate is the strongest form of karate(in my mind) due to the use of hips for power and deep stances which make a better foundation.TKD vs Karate, Well I think that its a draw. C Ya

ha ha ha ha ha.The funniest quotes i have heard EVER!!!

I think that the tips of your fingers and your knuckles are a good small weapon,they can do some real damage if stuck into pressure points on the body!

I use the feint in basketball, one piece of advice if you don't mind! make sure that with the feint, that after you use it,you can recover into an effective point scoring technique.be positioned right!

I would have to agree with KBN(kickbuttnat).I don't think that there is anything I don't like about karate.only 1 thing.I WISH IT WAS ON 7 DAYS A WEEK FOR 24 HOURS A DAY!!!

Welcome Kodek (nice screenname) Hope you have fun on the boards.PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND START MARTIAL ARTS!!! Happy Posting

Yes, the PRACTICE is a major part of everything, not just martial arts training.For example. Before I started martial arts, I could barely do 1 pressup, now I can do around 20 at a time.Nothing spectacular I know,BUT in time I will develop myself to be able to do more, you cannot just go to bed one night and wake up the next morning 10 times as good as the night before.Things take time, No need rush things in martial arts.When I do combinations or techniques, I do them the fastest I can do them with the bast power and form I can, I can do them faster BUT they won't have nowhere near as much power or form as the last one.Thats where my theory is proven, You can only do something as fast as your ability will let you strongly. I would like to hear more on this subject from you!

weeks off are cool, BUT sometimes I just cannot wait to get back into action.I absolutely LOVE Karate and couldn't imagine myself now without it.

I always have wanted to know more about it.Never really interested me as I was younger. I have stock in the Yorkshire Bank, and The Leeds and Holbeck Building soceity!

ThankYOU Patrick for giving us the opertunity to help you in the first place.If it helps I am considering asking to come back to the staff in the near future.I am bored without it, nothing too soon though! Thanx Bye!

I may be a day late but, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
