isshinryu kid

I'M a sandan in isshinryu karate,& proud to have been a student of the late,Granmaster Harold Long. PS Nomatter what syle we all have chosen its all good.

I'm A Isshin ryu stylist,Which is a combo of kobayashi shorinryu,& Gojuryu.If there's a weakness in isshinryu?i cant find it. PS The purpose of MA, IS defending oneself from an agressor,Or Agressors. I Like kumite,But it will not help you in any altercation. That being said, If you wld make you stances shorter & more natural.You wld be able to shift,Or go in & OUt faster,Or maybe parry/sidestep much easier,Get out of the danger zone & strike.

Its always good to get a raelity check.

Alright you kids respect your edlers,You gonna get old one of these days. PS Its to bad I'll be long gone before that happens.

I Voted no, COz They'er better thing to do than to cloud your brain.

IM 40 yrs old,& will be 41 on october 29. PS I Can't wait til I get older.

Noway That stance could never work, The legs look like they'er stiff as a board,Its a far cry from a seiuchin stance.

JiuJiutsu fighter is right,& If ignorani,& Arrogant clash together,Pretty soon the dojo just might become empty.

Isshintyu, Gojuryu,Shorintyu,Uechiryu,& Ed Prakers Kempo.

I'm Not a very big fan fo bush,& I'm also against going to war with Iraq.But If it ever comes to war,I Will certainly be praying for the troops that are over there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF A 1st degree black belt,Were to get his/her own school,It WLd become a mcdojo. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS After 1St dan, You Must have atleast 8 to 10 more yrs experiance before starting a school. ____________________________________________________________

Warm Up ,& Afterwards stretch,Or WOrk on the punching bag. PS SPar slow if you'er able to, THen go faster a little bit at a time,

1 IN The ring ten minutes each with 5 senior black belts. 2You Must know all empty hands,& Weapons kata. 3 You Must do the bunkai/applications of one of the emtpy hand kata/forms. 4After That you'll get your promotion,& Afterwrads We all go out for some pizza.

YAWN.

I'd Stay with one,ALthough You need to pick the one martial art you want most & stay with it. PS Good Luck,Your gonna need it.

There's nothing wrong with training in reality fighting,But You'll become one deminsional. You can do all the drills,&Or WOrk on the bag,&Thats fine,But There's more to it than that.Coz in the real world there are no rules,REality fighting have rules,There is no resting between each round,& they dont whare gloves on the street. & WHen a reality fighting,Tries to reach for the opponet he/she over extends the arm,Foot,Head,Or All three.& WHen that happens,He does'nt have a good center,Or IS not in a good position to finish/execute the technique.While in some situations,It WOu depend on distance,As Well as body posture.But In the case of a reality fighter,WHile overextending his body,It wld be easy enough to parry him & then execute a technique.In Other wors,You can be a fighter,But that doe'nt necessary mean you can defend yourself.There Was a girl that won granchampion 5 yrs in a row,& One day she got mugged,Her Sensei had to change the way he was teaching,It Was less kumite & more slfdefense.& To become succesful in in defending oneself,He/SHe & To do that you must Remember that the street is a not a boxing ring,Its no time for sport,Its time to do wht you can to survive.The Things to remember,1 Keep It simple 2 Use combinations 3 Use Low snapping kicks,AS they have alot of power,& ARe very hard to see. 4 Use short natural stances,They can help you become more elusive. 5Be Aware of your soroundings. There of course alot more Than this,But to learning & Training in all fo these different situations,CAn only be learned in The kung fu arts,Bjj,OR japanes jujutsu,JApanese & okiniawa karate as well as others,BUt not in reality fighting. PS I hope I did'nt insult anyone,These are just my opinions,I wld like nothing better than to be proved wrong.

I'll Go far as to say that reality fighting is a MA,But Not selfdefense.Maybe I'm wrong,But reality fighters do not train in slfdefnce,I Think its mostly tournement fighting.

Hey BKJ1216,JUst do the kihon/basics,& Some of yhe kata/forms that you've learned. You CAn also do some kata moves on the punching bag. & dont any fancy moves,Just keep it simple, Or Out work yourself while training. PS I Hope you find a dojo soon.

Learning from a book is 'nt a good idea,you'll need proper instuction,& That wld only come from a cerified instructor.

Like I said I'm not here to step on anyones toes,& I Surely respect those opinions that differ from mine. BUt My questions ARE, Those of reality fighting,Really just a bunch of ufc wannabeez? & Does reality fighting have any techs, If SO wht are they?

Usually When a person becomes sandan,He/SHe will go out own there on & start a school.BUt If 1st dan is not qaulified to teach.When becoming a shodan you've just begun to learn. I've been in the MA for 14 yrs & I'm a sandan. PS The Journey is long,BUt its worth the trip. PS I COme to you with empty hands,I Have no weapons,But Should I be forced to defend myself,My Prinipals or my honor,Should it be a matter of life or death,Right or wrong,Then here are my weapons my empty hands.

First Of all you need to get used to sparring,With your right & left side. & Fight in a kibe dachi/horse stance,ALso known as a ready stance,The feet should be shoulder width. Or In a seisanstance/Sho zenkutsu dachi,The feet should be IN a 45 degree angle.But Never keep your front ft pointing toward your opponett,& make sure your KNees are bent. PS I AM A Sandan in ISSHINRYU KARATE.

I've Seen the way these guys fight,& As the combatant Punch would, He wld put all of he's whate on his ft,& Lead with his head.Submission Fighter I Relise not every MA does kata,& That's fine with me.BUt evidently,The reality fighter does. PS Submission Fighter I'll try to clarify myself from now on.

I've never heard of it.
