I'm reading a book right now and it decribes Shuto-uke is a diagonal strike to the solar plexus with the edge of the hand.

Someone needs to get a video camera and tape some of these kata, I'd like to know what they look like.

Well I don't know much about judo for self defense, it seems like it would be good. Just make sure that if you do sign him up that he is doing the actualy program, he will be abel to tell the difference and will most likley drop out.

hey kensai whats "Black Belt Clubs" ?

Dosen't look like it pal. Unfortunatley the whole world is only concerend about making money, so the chances of finding one free online is pretty slim. I'd like to see a video of suparpine, just to see it.

also why is this forum even here if people are just going to tell me to go to the dojos?

I thought that thing about registereing yourself as a weapon was all a rumor. I really don't have an idea of what it's like in a dojo yet, i still haven't been in any of my local ones.

Well I know mikelw practices that style, don't know if he does at that dojo though.

Hey there isn't anything wrong with being 14.

Because I haven't been able to. I've been tyring to get down there by my mom has been sick for the past couple of weeks.

I think you need to renew your idea of strengt. Is strength how much you weigh or how much you can bench. Or is strength how good and effectivly you can do the techniques. It's kind of like the scenario of a 150 pound woman knocking a 300 pound man on his back because she had better technique than his(yes this also means he coudl have had no technique). So I think muscle mass and brute force don't play an important roll, it's more how well the preson and perform what's needed to be done.

Alright well I've posted this many times before. The problem is that I don't think a lot of people know what shudokan is. So I am going to post a summary of it I got off of https://www.usadojo.com. Well so what would you guys choose?

I have been thinking last night bout how america is both a democracy and a dictatorship. It seems to me that any country that dosen't run itself like the US wants it to, get's screwed over by the US. We don't mind our own buisness. It's like whats going on over in Iraq right now. We don't like the way Saddam is running his country, so we're gonna go put our nose in his buisness and turn it into yet another country forced into a new type of goverment by the US. I mean some countries we don't start war with, but we'll cut off their foreign aid until they agree to do things our way. Are we really the free world or our we the just the dictatorship of the world.

push ups dips sit ups(for abs) diamond push ups(I think they work the triceps and delts) inclined and declined pushups on a wall or bench that's all i can think of get a hold of kickchick she probably has a lot.

Just watch the daily show on comedy central. He makes fun of a lot of current events, so If you want to make a humorous cartoon my advice watch that.

I'd do endurance. Beacuse if you can endure the training your getting it's essentially building strength in the background. So either way you'll get strong. I'd do endurance simply because the more training you can do the better you will be.

Well I just checked a book out of my library today and noticed that the publisher is Pro-Action sports. Well guess what the name of my goju-ryu dojo in town is named Pro-Action Family Martial Arts. So I thought maybe someone went to a dojo like this because it sounds like it may be national. If anyone does please tell me what you think about it.

Well yeah I know what you mean monkeygirl. I first started karate when I was 6. They put me in this thing called kinderkarate. I knew it wasn't actual karate because all we did was run around and play tag. So I quit and decided I'd join it when I was old enough to do the actual thing.

Well thanks for your advice but I was kind of wrong with my theroy of shudokan being a lot like shotokan. I'm just going to check out both the schools.

Alright yeah sorry, I'll have to work on better ways of getting my point across.

I think you would be better off postin this in the grappling arts section.

I thoguht about this for a couple minutes and I relized I'm doing karate for purley self defense. I mean yeah I'm also using it as a way to get fit, but aren't unfit people the target of much if not all of the torment? Not only that I agree with grunt about the people in this world that are evil, and unfortunatley I've already had to deal with them, and I didn't do a good job of it. Thats really the only reason I'm doing karate for self defense, and I think that fits because that is why they developed it hundreds of years ago.

Okay I'm pretty confused here. Didn't they make karate as a form of unarmed self defense? Not as a way to go invade some other country and take it over? I think that there would be a major difference there.

^ Yeah well your weird. What I mean was no one would make a movie like that. Honestly has anyone ever seen a movie where the bad guys win?

I just saw the one. It was a pretty cool movie.
