yea..so funny!

We breaks board on each belt exam...from 1 to 3 boards depending. We use 1 inch thick pine board. Board don't hit back...lol true The most frequent reason on the used of board breaking is mostly mental. Fight your fear.... If you're scared and stop..OUCH!!! cause we all know that it's not that hard to break. It's all in the mind and to hit the center of it lol. As per technical view of it.... They say that 1 inch thick board equal to a human rib... Some use this as a goal or point of view.

I think I would go for the quickest way to save myself.... Easier the better in these situations... Low kicks are amazing and very painful (shins hurts bad)and not many people are expecting it. head kick...not sure. All depends on the situation and the attacker's position. Let's say I hit him with low kick and he bends down...A drop kick would end the fight for sure lol.... but still, all depends.

they were mostly used as a defense weapon.... anyway

well a block, punch,duck,punch,kick etc combo.... sounds good Works your cardio,reflex and flexibility. Jump kicks are good too. Helps precision.

Always a pleasure It's a great forum.

Hey hey! Bri Welcome to KF Glad you came and joined us...Told you it was a great friendly forum

Welcome to KF

There's also the fitness program from UFC MMA George St-Pierre which I heard's good. http://www.gsprushfit.com/ It's a mix of kick,punches,cardio,weights etc

Well 5 years is a long time..Depending what style you're doing. You will lose a lot of technics etc in 5 years. Do I think you lose your title of black belt after 5 years...maybe not but I think you would need to train hard to show that you still deserve to wear it. If not...It would be unfair for the others. In a way...the belt is showing what level (rank) you are. If you're not able to do the things well..... It doesn't look super good.

Yes great kick... Bruce Lee learn that kick from ji han jae (hapkido). Bruce Lee took and learned from many great masters to become such a great human weapon.

Well I think that we all can decide for ourselves... Most of female mma fighters know what they're doing... male vs female ...not sure.. Unless special fight and very good female fighter with same weight etc... Like Gina Carano could take on many guys lol.... Anyway, it's a complicated subject

like many said...it's a very similar martial arts...I don't see the point and you will probably get confused... I did many style myself but I've switch from japanese style to korean style. You don't get confused at all.... Well sometime you go ichi ni san instead of hana dul set but that's mostly all lol Anyway, It's my opinion
