Strength+Technique+Endurance=Power If you are facing an opponet that's a lot stronger than you, but much slower and you get 5 hits for everyon 1 he gets, You'll most likelye beat him. It's rare cases when someone makes a mistake where the more powerful guy catches him off guard. I'd definatley work on speed versus power, just for the advantage of suprise.

Can someone post some, just so i can get a look at them. I mainly want them for shotokan karate, sense the style I'm studying is very similar.

^ where did you learn all this stuff?

Wheres a good place to buy training equipment. Like some gloves, foot stuff, head gear that kind of thing.

Well should the feeling change from the stomach(tan tien, I think that's where the ki is) to the hand. When I'm focuing on the tan tien I feel a slight bit of preasure. But when I focus on it moving to my hand my hand just gets cold.

Whoa I might just want to do that. And remain anomonys so I don't get picked on either.

I can't wait till may to start sparring. I know i'm gonna get beat up a lot, but I think sparring with higher ranking people will help me.

^ You'll definatley see me in june, schools out then.

I'll just ask my instructor when I start.

Belts are suposed to be washed.

So you mean I might have felt the energY?

Theres around thirty that pic on him. And jerry are you saying that I can report it to the police? They would probably just say it's the school's responiibility.

The reason I really care is beacuase when it happens this kid has fits of rage. He's compleylety without reason when he does it. The other day he hit one of the bullies, and he wound up getting beat up. I just don't want it to get way out of hand. I mean like two things will happen if it keeps going on. He hurts himself, or he hurts other people. I don't want either to happen. I don't know how to make it so it doesn't. There isn't a lot of people that have the courage to stand up what they feel is right, I don't even know if I do at this point. Basicly I want to know from people that are capable, would you defend him if you were in my shoes?

It's both verbal and psyichal, unfortunatley I don't really have anyone that would stand behind me on this. Only me.

Okay theres this kid at school. Everyday he is brought to tears by bullies. He's incapable of defending himself. Would it be right or wrong to stand up for him? I know it's wrong what the people do to him, but I'm not really capable of defending myself so well, and I'm the only one who seems to relize it's wrong. I don't know if this post should go here or not, but ti's very important that I get an answer.

Not now. Maybe after I've been in karate for a couple months and have lost weight. I"m just plain ugly now. I mean I don't want to be responible for any of you going blind.

I'm gonna be on the internet a lot less. Practicly never, except maybe weekends. The reason why is that today my dad told me in order to take karate I have to have atleast a 3.8 gpa. So I'm going to be working my back end off trying to get my good grades. After school work I'll probably be running or biking somehting trying to get ready for karate. So I'll most likley not be around a lot. I just wanted to tell you guys in case someone cared or anything.

I'm really afrair there will be no one there that I can spar. I mean how long will it take to learn techniques to sparr. Can I also learn techniques while sparring?

^ Yeah tell me, my punches are pretty weak I want to get them stronger.

This is a weired thread. See I read somethign online that a lot of the dojos in america like to try and make up japanese cutstoms. They said that this is one of them. The man that was writing the page even went to japan to a dojo and when he was there no one would sparr with him because he smelled so bad. The smell was coming from his belt. So yeah I'm pretty sure your suposed to washyour belt. If not then it's gonna be one sinky dojo.

They sell these kinds of belts. They even have hats and jeans and stuff like this.

Well I planned to start sparring as a beginner. But I mean like how long should I wait. How long will it take for me to have even learned enough techniques to sparr? All I know how to do right now is a punch(learned it from one of my mom's friends whos a 6 dan ).

I mean like at the point of where they say it's suposed to be tingling. I don't feel tingling I feel preasure, and then the thing I'm reading tells me to visulize it moving up into my hand I do and my hand literally becomes dead cold.

Yeah well I'm going to be taking shudokan karate in may and I want to know when I should begin sparring. Shoudl I start immediatley, or wait until I have a little higher rank.

I like Soldier Of Fortune 2: Double Helix. I don't play it much though.
