Well I know I used to watch a lot of boxing. A lot was tapes of Ali. I remember he use to always do thei rope a dope thing. He just blocked everything he hit throught whole fight tiring him out. Then finally finished him off. You think that would work in karate?

And it is also a karate dojo?

You know what thaks for you help everyone. But I got about three months to lose weight before I start karate in the first place. I'll aks my instroctore when I sign up to help me get the right size.

Well if I got with a 6 then the height will be like 6' and up. I don't know how to shorten the pants on it either.

So if I'm 5'8" is shoudl definatley get size 5 and shoudln't worry about it being only up to 190 pounds?

lol it didn't find any schools near me at all lol

Alright thanks kickchick

Well so far size 4 and 5 are the best matches. How important is the weight factor? I mean what does it control on the gi? Is it about tearing it or how tight it will be or what?

Well I think size 4 would fit best only problem is that I'm about 100 pounds too much for it it's waist is 31-45 or something like that and the heigh is 5'5"-5'8" the only problem is that the wieght is only to 170.

Alright I'm 5'8" 280 my jeans are 44x32 so I guess I have a 44 inch waist. Is there any size that fits that?

If there isn't a big and tall store for karate then it looks like I'm gonna have to make a custom fitted one. I shoudl probably ask my instructor because he is a pretty big guy.

Too much lol I'm 5'8" 280

Well I'm a rather large person. I was wondering if the dojo I select is going to have weight restrictions. And even more important if I can find a gi that fits my fat ass. Is there a big and tall store that sels gis? lol

My favorite is whover answers my post about kobojutsu first.

Yeah I want to find a couple of dojos near me. I mainly want to find a shito-ryu and a kobojutsu one.

I put this in here because I thought that it is some way related to karate. Does anyone's dojo teach kobojutsu and karate? Or do you think any dojo will have weapons traning intergrated in the training?

Well see I'm sitting here thinking that they are the actually moves of karate. I've heard people say like shotokan has 26 katas or something, I thought that meant that's how many moves there are and you need 26 to be 1st dan or something like that.

I think it has something to do with the mentality. I know that I started karate when I was 7. I was only intrested in fighting, and when we didn't fight, I dropped out. That's why I don't think anything uner 12 shoudl be able to do it. Because honestly your just not mature enough until then.

Well I've been hearing this term being tosed around for a littl ebit now without really knowing what it meant. Can someone please explain to me what it is. Is it like the moves or techniques?

Uhhh you know there is a school in new york that has a actually sao-lin monk teaching the style. SO I guess anyone in newyord can lean it now.

Well I've already looked all over the net. I'll just call the dojos and ask.

Feezing a birck works because water gets into the cracks of the bricks. Then when you freeze it it expands forcing the birck apart a little and making it weaker.

Why even ask this question? You know everyone is going to say it's me. lol j/k I still don't know too many members so far so I really can' say.

^I was reading a book that I checked out of the library. It said that okinawan goju-ryu has 14 kata. What type of goju do you do? Oh and can someone find out how many kata shudokan has?

Okay I can do most of that, except the students who need correction, will it be hard to spot them out?
