Shotokan_Fighter

yeah it get very annoying

good point fire ka i didnt think of it like that

id love to fight a wrestler beacuse the wrestler wouldnt even know whats coming, i prolly wouldnt even fight one beacuse it would be a waste of time. i could almost garuntee i could beat and average school wrestler anyday.

welcome to KF

oh i love elk hunting, iv gone 2 times, theres nothing like hearing a bull elk bugle when its quiet and it roard throughout the whole entire woods, man i love it.

man i dont know, your pretty much screwed. but all id try to do is beat that mans face in with my right hand, but i dont know, thats a hard one to anser, you have really good question, it makes me think alot, like about what would i do if this really did happen.

i hope there are karate kas out there that think the same way about there style as i do, as fire ka does. but thats what seperates us from other karate kas.

i eat sleep and breath my style, it isnt isshinryu, but i have alot of respect for you fire ka, beacuse your like i am when it comes to your style. you know how we are, there are few karate kas like us. I study shotokan he studys isshinryu. we both have the same goals, we both want to proove that our style are that dang good. if you have read my posts you know how i am about my style.

yeah i know im one sided, and im gonna be one sided. theres nothin anyones gonna do to change that. man i love my style, its everything to me, beacuse iv become really good at it, iv beaten a TKDist, i got in a street fight and it helped me out, i broke the kids floating rib with a reverse punch, i herd it snap. so i know it works in the street, and im gonna proove that shotokan karate can fight against other styles, like iv sadi when i get to 3rd dan thats when im going to go to the big MA compitions and proove myself and show how fast, how powerfull, how effective shotokan karate really is. im not saying im the best, i know im not, but i will try to be.

good question john G, kinda a weird scene i dont think much ppl would do that, would they? but to anser your question, I think my art would help me in this situation, dependes on the attack he comes at me with, id avoid it by moving out of his way and run away out were i came in and never stop running until i know its safe lol, but that is one of the best things you can do, id much rather run than take a chance of getting killed.

hunting with a bow is something else, i hunt with a recurve so i fell even more traditional. bowhunting you get really close to the animal, iv had a deer walk right by me 4 yards away!, i was ground hunting and it was a doe, i killed that doe at 8 yards away. I have never shot anything outside of 10 yards away from me, its awsome.

man once you see the arrow fly right into a bucks vital area, then it will float your boat.

iv been in one street fight, 2 but one nothing really happened. anyways this kid seen that i was in karate and he came up to me in school, and started talkind smack to me about karate, and i hate it when ppl do that. and hes like so you mr. karate man, why dont you show me karate after school, and i wasnt gonna act like a wuss and decline it, so i was like ok, you dont know what your getting yourself into, then he pushed me into my locker, man do you know how hard it was not to drop him right then and there with a reverse punch. i met him after school at a local park and he started talking more smack and i was like are we gonna do this or what, i knew i could beat this kid anyways, so hes like yeah and ran at me with a wild haymaker punch and i just steped back rising blocked his punch, and bam reverse punch into his floater rib, i herd it crack. he fell straight to the ground, he had a buddy with, his eyes about bulged out of his head, i said what do you want some to, he just yelled no! and i left and he picked up his freind who was gasping for air. fight ended as quick as it started.

thank you sansoouser, and finally i see some pro shotokan people

im a traditional bowhunter i shoot a recurve bow, 60 lbs at 28 inches. i got my 1st buck this year. so are there any bowhunters in KF?

what i do is look the guy over before the match comes up, and say im not going to loose, that helps out alot, at least to me it does. i just keep saying in my head over and over, it takes the nervousness out of you so you can prefore to you best.

i disagreed with the author beacuse he said power dosent come from the hips. i disagree with him when he said that.

yeah i agree with you telsun, power is generated from your hips and the driving leg in a front stance.

i am one sided and proud of it, funakosh may have trained in different styles but im not, im dedicating my life to shotokan, iv been doing it for 2 years exactly, and im not stoping ever. i know alot about shotokan i have determination mentally and physically. you guys all may have trained in shotokan but did you stay with it no you QUIT. thats the difference between me any you im not going to QUIT.

i dont think that guy knows what he is talking about, beacuse in shotokan we get our power from our hip and it works, speed comes from your hips to, viabration also does, but i dont think he really knows what he is talkingabout beacuse power can be generated from your hips.

you ppl that say shotokan is slow and dosen work on combinations... LOL we work on speed alot, we work on combos alot, speed equals power. i have alot of power how by being fast. either some of you who trained in shotokan karate didnt have agood school or you just didnt have the desire to learn the art. im not saying im the best fighter in the world, i know im not, but i will try to be. i know i could get beat by alot of ool in other styles, but i havnt faced them and they havnt faced me so know one will know. i will face may other pl from different styles when i become a 3rd dan black belt, thats when im going to go to other big worl MA tournements and show what i got. i cant wait to do that beacuse i want to test my skill of shotokan karate against ather styles, i have tested it against a TKD stylist and he was nothing to me.

progital son your saying shotokan is to slow, try fighting me and then say its to slow. and about me saying its the "ultimate art" im not saying that, did i ever say shotokan is the best art, and is better than all the others. I know its not, but i dont think like that, i have that attitude that it is the best, so i can train with confidence,intesnsity, ect. i dont belive in cross training, and i will become one of the best shotokan fighters.

welcome to KF, what style of karate?

i didnt mean it like that. i know shotokan dosent train you to fight against grappling techniques, but i know some from my own knowlage, i used to be a wrestler for 3 years, so i know plenty grappling techniques, and how to escape and counter them.

im not showing it off, id much rather show them whats up, than having them breathing down your neck about " what would you do if i did this". it does get very annoying.
