I'll probably see it. Mostly because DMX is in it, he's one of my favorite rappers. I'm just wondering when the next good karate movie will come out.

Oh I see, but why did TLC rank it as number 1?

Technicly I took a class of shudokan karate, but it was kinder karate program they had from kids under seven. I shouldn't have joined at such a immature age because I was only intrested for the fighting, so when we did not fight I dropped out. So now to the practical part I won't be doing shudokan until May. 12 when their classes clear up. I have a question for you guys though. Every four months at the dojo I'm going to I guess they take a test to determine weather or not they can move on to the next test. What I want to know is what it's called, and how often does someone pass it in the first try.

Well what if they don't let me watch the classes? I mean these are the only two dojos in the area. I know for one that the shudokan has a free class, but the problem is that when i was young and immature I signed up, but thanks to my immaturity droppped out because there wasn't enough fighting. I don't know about the kenpo one though.

Well a lot of the moives I've seen like, jackie chan's flicks, mostly every kind of movie out now that has a martial artist/actor in it is kung fu. I mean I even watched the matrix today and they taught them kung fu. I was watching TLC's top ten martial arts karate was second and kunfu was first. Is it really a superior martial art?

^ yep that's the one alright

Well so which do you think I should take?

SO I take it a lot of peopole dont' pass the test to be prmoted the first time they take it?

Whoa how long does it take to get to 1st dan?

Well you really shoudl just remind them that they're not really that great. Somehow talk to them or something, just pop in an innocent blow when they're least expecting it, just to show them that they've still got a a logn way to go.

I can't wait until I start karate so I know what some of these mean.

Well the shotokan dojo in my town closed down and they're now a kenpo one. So if anyone even knows of these styles please recomend one. I hear that shudokan isn't too diffferent from shotokan just less back stances.

She got it from a site so listen to her directions. I just guess out of my head how to do it.

^haha I live those emoticons.

So can someone else comment on this?

Can someone who has studied shudokan karate tell me what it is like compared to shotokan?

Well I don't know if your talking karate here but I've alwasy thought humility was one of the pirnciples of it. I don't think you should be so arrogant about it. Instead of just complaining about it, next time your sparring give them something they don't expect. Just remind them that they're not great and there is people better than them. Hey btw how great is shotokan compared to shudokan, I'm still trying to get a style comparison.

^ I really wish I could, no one here seems to have even heard of shudokan karate. Is shotokan karate very good? Then againt I probably should stick with shudokan it has a great history. One of the students was the first forener to get pas 6th dan or something, i can't rember too well right now. I'm going to do the free classes at both of them ask a lot fo questions from the instructors so i choose the right one.

^no

Well I already own a sword, but I think the bo would be a lot safer to train with, I mean like if I hit someone with it i woudln't cut them. If I hit me with it I woudln'tcut myself, those sort of thigns.

Alright thank you

Stomach: take the dumbells in your hands and set them on your chest then when it's comfortable start doing normal sit ups Lower Back: put the dumbells onthe floor grab them keep lifting them bending at your back not at the elgs Upper Back: find a bench rest one hand on the bench and take a dumbell in the other lean over and with your arm(not your back like in the lower back) try and lift the dumble to your side, at the end of the motion your arm should be curved, not straight as it would if you were working the tricepts like this

There will never be a cure for intimidation. The best thing you can do if you get intimidated is to evaluate the situation. Your able to handle yourself, you have to be confident. You can take any obstical thrown at you. Keep that attitude and you most likley won't be intimidated easily.

I don't know man. Frankly that ki stuff sounds too much like that DBZ cartoon, the thing I read sounded like it was written by an obseesed fan. Does it really work, does anyone know?

You shoud be able to find one easily. I'd start off by deciding what you want to take. Then go on the internet bring up google and type it in. You should be able to find diffren't dojos, look for the national and international ones.
