A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to all who passed, it was well deserved after I am surew was a lot of hard training and practise, all of ths wasnt possible without Tobias reece, A Big Hand for Tobias! *applauds*

well I have been recomended by someone high up in the MA, about a book my Nakayama called Advanced Kata,its part of the Best Karate series!

welcome to the forums YODA!!! And may the force be with you!

yep, He will pass Tobias, he has been training very harder for this grading, than he has ever trained before, adn believe me people. Tobias Reece's dad trains hard! Good Luck!

books are better than cd-roms, you can use them wherever you are!

patrick As you said people should be able to make friday as they wanted the cta room, we did not discuss a time before having the chat room there. The time is particularly bad for us in the UK, as we would have to log on at two in the morning, which is not a very suitable time at all.

ddnt jitte come from 3 kata which originated in a temple, (i forget the place) the three kata are Ji'in Jitte and Jion if I am correct.

how about http://www.sakura-0.com They sell everything.

lol me too, sorry bud!

I like 007 Under Fire and GT3

unfortunatley no kobudo grading, I may be moving house and schoolworks a drag, too much of it, hopefully I will be starting training soon for kobudo! And I have a senior dan grading coming up in like 2 years, but no biggie, lol!

I thought that it was the same one, oops! Sorry!

I dont know you personally, but know of you! and I think I might be attending, lets see which way the wind blows.

Hello guys, Will be visiting more often, as I have completed this terms coursework (for now) so I can visit around 2 to 3 times a week. I think that sports have a lot to depend on for your martial arts too. it isnt only ma that does sports good, but it is also the other way round!

Hello peeps, just popped back cos I had some free time and wantewd to hear from everyone. I think that martial arts and sports are a good combination, my rugby reactions and reflexes have improved and I have a better state of mind. C Ya another time maybe!

Thankyou for your replies people. I agree with what you have to say Jiggy9

It is unstoppable if done with enough foce, try do one step with an adult male partner of about 7 foot tall and a massive shoulder span, and put all you got into it, bet he cant block it!

Front kick to groin = Kin Geri I like the reverse punch, the only thing that annoysd me about it is the footwork!

I think that you can do anything you want to do with WILL POWER!! thats all it takes! Go for it JoeCooke007!!!!

Try Karate, I am a 14 year old male and ;love karate to peces. If your into fighting I suggest kickboxing!

i thnk the backfist is a fast technique aswell, its just a snap of the arm delivering a hit with the front 2 knuckles

I agre also with SaifightsMS,BTW Sai, I like your sig

I agree with JoeCooke007, the straight punch and the side thrust kick are very powerfull kicks. One of them kicks drove my brother through a wall!

Self improvment and help others more

I agree with Joanne %100. Karate is empty hand, other martial arts use weapons, but not guns. of course you need skil to be accurate with a gun. but it takes more skill to be acurate with a throwing dart of a shurikn star!
