ROTFLMAO ! I will joke about different styles of Martial Arts , but I try not to be genuinely disrespectful of them , especially in light of the fact that I do a lot of mixed stuff. I don't like when someone plays MR. Macho , plays around in general , or just starts doing something completely different from what we are practicing at the time !

YOu took the words right out of my mouth. By the way , we do shadow drills , so we do work alone too. My uncle is also a green belt ( I think ) in tae kwon do , I should have mentioned this earlier , but didn't .

IF what the guy is saying is true , then this technique would have LIMITED uses , mainly to prevent fights . I do security work on occaision , and have had only a couple incidents where I had to get physical with someone . IF this technique or series of techniques exist , it could be used to neutralize unsuspecting sentries.

Katas . Let me start by saying that I am not a BB or Red sash in any martial arts form . I have dabbled in several styles of martial arts , and freestyle , collegiate , some greco , and some MA . Now that we have that out of the way. Let's get on with the explanation. I had been taught by my dad who is an ex golden gloves boxer , football player , police officer , etc... and my uncle who is a BB in judo and Jujitsu that I should stay far away from katas , because they do not work and will force me to fight inside the confines of whatever style I practiced, so I did . I was thinking about expanding my skills , especially in the weak areas , so I started thinking about philipino fighting , muay thai , karate , and anything else that would help me to kick better , I also started thinking an upcoming jujitsu / wrestling practice when it hit me like a ton of bricks . KARATE AND WRESTLING IS THE SAME , I mean they both teach a certain series of moves for defense or offense , so isn't that katas of a sort ?

Thanks

I want to to toughen and desensitize my forearms , hands , shins , feet , etc... Please help me . Thanks

I would like to formally introduce myself to everyone . My name is ak74auto , and I'm from Atlanta GA . I look forward to learning a lot from this site and its members.
