winterkarate

im only a 7th kyu but i find myself messing up on a regular basis but i dont mind coz i know ill improve and darkmonkey, you said you train twice a week and get stuff wrong. well i train 5/6 days a week in dojo plus in my own time too and i mess alot up. but like i said ill get better. so will you. just work on what you get wrong more often.

now i could break it down into lots of different topics but what it all comes down to is one thing. TO BETTER MYSELF IN LIFE.

first of all, thankyou to anyone who gave me good advice on sparring techniques, please keep them coming. and to tobias. sorry about this comment that angela has put on the forum. ignore it completely, she dont know what shes talking about and shes completely out of order.

well i know absolutely nothin about TKD, but karate is a more rounded art that concentrates on every aspect of the martial arts rather than just the kicks. it a combination of punches kicks holds and throws, and shotokan is a strong form where one of the main aspects is "one hit, one kill!". by saying that karate is more rounded, i dont mean to be offensive to you. hope this helps. ste.

close hand push ups!!!!!!!

too easy. RUGBY LEAGUE!!!!!!! it rules.

thanx now this is use ful stuff. ill be able to use this.

im 17 years old.

15 december 1983.. another xmas baby!!

no but when i become famous ill let you know. ha.

another form of developing your pectoral muscles is to run... yes if you run with small lead weights on your wrists and rotate your arms properly, (watch professional runners for technique) you not only improve your stamina but your chest will get bigger, across aswell as out. hope thats useful.

now i dont know anything about k'boxin but is line work like basics in karate? if so i'd rather be fighting too.

it'll have to be 2moz but it dont really compare to you! WOW! you fine girl!

thanx moo! and to tobias my last comment was harsh but i wont apologise because we're a shotokan club and part of shotokan is the fighting side. so to say we are not a fighting club is a lie. as you'll know from your grading. and youll find that more students at the clubs like fighting than those that dont. and some of the ones that dont were influenced by certain senseis giving fighting a bad name coz they dont like it. and i really hope that you telling me to go to andt kusack was just friendly advice tobias.

thanx buddy comment much appreciated.

nat, saw your pic on other thread. gonna have to put mine on there too.

correction you dont like sparring that dont mean we aint a sparring club. FOOL!

tobias i want you 2 teach me tekki sandan please.

just remember: everybody's equal.... it's just that some people are more equal than others!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :lol:

Bbuce lee did NOT make a style. he adapted a few to make it easier and free flowing for himself. he never said he'd made one in fact his words were more along the line of there are no set styles just free flowing movements. jeet kune do was not a specific martial art. and in a straight fight JACKIE CHAN would kick his ass. easy! :nod:

hi nat.

now i know people can put their pictures on this site but 1 i dont know how and 2 how do i look at them. send me the answer direct in a private message coz 1 ive not got one yet and 2 i dont come on this thread very often i mainly stick to shotokan.

one thing i just wanna say is..... your all sad strange little people, but wat the hell. :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: i love you all.

dont use your kicks if your too slow only joking. well im not really experienced and im not a very good kicker, im more into punching coz im pretty fast and powerful due to the boxing training i did before karate which is why full contact appeals to me more. but if you practice your kicks and pratice in a way that makes you bring it back like kick against someone that is purposely trying to catch your foot then you should improve.

right ive got a competition coming up and im a little bothered because i dont get a lot of sparring training, which is what im really interested in. but my sensei is starting to help with this now. so my question is, what techniues can you offer that will work in competition fighting? now i dont want to be told body evasion or kizame zuki, gyaka zuki because i know these work. i want people who know how to fight to give me ideas and moves that are gonna score me points! thanks to anyone that could be bothered to read this and help me.
