Shotokan_Fighter

TJS wrote yeah i do fight, i love to, i dont go picking fights or bullying ppl around but im not just talking abot street fighting i was also talking about ring fighting. me and fire ka are alot alike we both have something to prove and we will prove it.

i gotta say that when you reach black belt it is just the begining

there wasnt really a reason for it but i like the username alot better for some reason lol

i cant get that video to work do i need that winzip in order for that vidoe to work??

id like to spar against a BJJ and see how good they really are this is shotokan_karate0 but i changed my username to shotokan_figher. i wish we had some more MA schools around here than TKD

im just telling all of you that i chaged my name form shotokan_karate0 to shotokan_fighter

TJS wrote no i havnt where can i see it?? and why do ppl think that BJJ is so good what id the fight dosent go to the ground, the BJJ is worthless if a fight dosent go to the ground. but i know most fights do. but where is that shotokan vs BJJ?

i couldnt relly understand all the posts on this but all ill say id i know karate was ment for fighting against an untrained fighter, which is a drunk a punck kid not a muay thai fighter or a trained fighter. go to 24fightingchickens.com that is where i read my info on karate wasnt ment for fighting trained martial artist. but i dont see why karate isnt good against a trained martial artist i have beaten a person at our local tae kwon do club, i know for a fact that a really good, hardcore shotokan karate ka could hold there own against most martial artist.

this is my favorit creed do any of you have any that are your favorits? i come to you with only karate, empty hands, but should i be forced to defend myself, my principles, or my honor, should it be a matter of life or death, then here are my weapons, karate, my empty hands.

i dont think kata is a waste of time. kata isnt a waste of time if you really know what kata is. i know what kata is and i like it there may be ppl who dont but those ppl might not understand what kata really is.

fire ka i agree with you what black belt means to me is well its just the begining

TJS wrote yes we do but we dont hit each other we do kinda tap each other though. but hitting hard to the head isnt allowed ( we dont wanna hurt anyone)

in my shotokan class when we spar we do not spar full contact i dont think any school of shotokan karate does. the reason for that is if we sparred full contact we would hurt each other, we dont use pads it is bare fists and feet. i was sparring in my last class against my sensei and we started light contact and we got to almost full contact but it wasnt even close it full power techniques, and he got me with a reverse punch right into my ribs and bruised my ribs if me and him were sparring full contact he could have boken one of my ribs. that is the reason why most shotokan schools dont spar full contact right???

i train for 2 times a week and for 1 1/2 hrs. but i also train at home for 3 more times a week for almost 2 hrs.

sorry krives my bad

krives said you said karate will never beable to beat bjj that is wrong, there maybe a bjj person that can beat a karate ka but i know there are karate kas that can beat or easly match a bbj in UFC or not in UFC.

niko said i do think you get payed more if you sign up for the special forces then if you wouldnt sign up for them. but im not completly sure

fire ka man me andyou we think the same way. we love our style. me and you eat sleep and breath karate. I agree with you all the way

are you talking about the marine corps special force the marines is recon marines you have a choice to go into recon when you are going through boot camp army has green berets and 2 other one i cant think of them, navy has navy seals, and i dont really knoww the rest of the armes forces special forces

i went through my post and edited it so it should be easyer to read and understand sorry that i didnt do that in the first place

ill try that

TJS i tryed but they didnt work

sorry about the post if it was hard to understand but do you all understand it know??

i said it wasnt made for fighting OTHER ARTS what do you ppl think im stupid or somethin why would i say karate wasnt made for fighting??

i do shotokan karate as you all know and i love my style. I eat sleep and breath shotokan karate. There has been nothing better to me than karate. It may sound weird, but id do anything just so i can train, and ppl bash karate all over, saying it dosent work saying, that a karate block dosent work, id like to know where some of you are geting you info at cause thats bs. any one who is a hardcore karate ka knows that respecting your art is a big thing. you just dont goto your karate class and kick and punch its more than that, at least to me it is. As you herd, karate isnt a sport its a way of life, it has to become more than just a hobby. i know there are ppl who respect there style, and it may not be karate, but dont say that karate dosent work. karate wasnt made for fighting other arts, a muay thai fighter may beable to beat a karate ka in and out of the ring, but how many muay thai fighters walk the street looking for fights?? karate was ment for self defense (fighting), self defense and fighting is the same thing. if you get in a fight you are fighting you have to defend your self, self defense all the same thing. im just saying have more respect for your art and dont bash other arts.
