The point of the comment was to prove that, its not what style you train in, but how you train in it. Now show a little more respect BK, I'd like some for all my help I've offered you.

5-6 Meals a day, 3 hours apart. Should help keep the metabolism working.

Sorry, guess that was a little vague, what i ment to say is, someone who's been training in an art for all his life, will most likely beat someone who has never trained at all.

It does come down to the martial artist. A 10th Dan in Goju Ryu will beat a 10th kyu in kyokushin. However, there are some styles that are more realistic, or focus on certain aspects of "deadly martial arts" more then others (kyokushin) but most styles focus on the one punch one kill theory behind karate. (As in okinawa they needed to punch through Samurai armor)

Farewell

Yea, SARs is causing quite a scare right now. Personally I'm gonna go put myself in an isolation tank cause I'm afraid O.O

IF you ask me, if your WHOLE body was SOOOO sore that you couldn't breathe, talk to a doctor. Because either your a master of the hyperboles, or have some sort of medical problem :\

Not really, unless you wanna show off.. Did you know: It is said that Master Chojun Miyagi(Founder Goju Ryu) could rip the bark right off trees with his bare hands, and rip meat apart with his bare hands.

Hmm, I got a flu, and I can feel how stiff I am, kinda a weird feeling!

I know there's already a thread, but its on a different topic then this one. Heres what I'm Wondering: I really like Ninjitsu, i love the style, the spiritual and the philisophical basis behind it. But i also like my karate. I'm 16, and I live in a small town, therefor I can't really get up and drive to the nearest ninjitsu dojo. There isn't one in my town, there is my karate dojo however. Anyways heres the question : Later when I get older, will ANY of my karate help me to develop ninjitsu quicker if I am to join it? Thank you.

Well, I'm seeing progress, not HUGE, but I think with a continued routine I'll Get there. I feel I might be doing my leg raises wrong, is there anything I should be making sure I'm NOT doing? Heres what I usually do for my "Stretching routine" (morning and night): -Start with some jumping jacks, or running on the spot -Do side leg raises, front leg raises, and back leg raises -Do V stretch (sit in legs in V shape, go to middle, left, right, middle) -Do some arm circles -And various other stretches. I wanna do splits!!

http://www.shotokankata.com/images/logos/animat.gif Is that shiko dachi ? Cause I got the impression you were supposed to sit fairly low. http://www.agkk.com.au/enhanced/AGKK%20Stances.htm Just found this site, its helpful

Umm, I read somewhere kyokushin (sp?) focuses on high speed kicks and deadly blows. Meh..

Heh, just found this while I was researching : http://www.seizaseat.com/ Might not be what your looking for, but worth a try

As is Goju :\

Just started Don't know any of those stances except for shiko dachi, oh and stencil, you mean perpendicular with my legs ? Also anywhere I can go to learn those stances? or should I just wait for my sensei to teach them to me.

Well, then States should adopt Canada's ways, basically you don't get thrown in jail unless you have a whole shitload of it, otherwise you just get a fine.

What I ment is more of a book to take notes on history that your teacher talks about maybe, or a lecture class. he calls it the "karate book". Can also keep track of technique.

Didnt say that i didn't believe him, more or less that i was lost as to what i was doing wrong stencil

A mouth guard and if you wanna be even more safe get a sparring helmet. On a side note, something you might want to do is buy a note book and designate it your "karate book". Last night my sensei told us about these, he said that you don't start karate till you become a 2nd Degree Blackbelt (2nd DAN i think? dont wanna mix em up though ). And when you go to test for your Blackbelts, there is many essays to write about karate, you need to know the philosiphical ideas behind the movements, the history, etc. So, get a book, and take notes !

Dealers don't go after each other because of Marijuana, they go after each other cause of crack and heroine

In reading an article id just like you to know : Aproximatly 800 people in CANADA have the right to smoke marijuana. In my home town of Calgary, Alberta, there is a man who has been fighting the law for years saying he should be allowed to smoke marijuana for a disease he has... don't know what it was.. (bronchitis?(sp?)). Anyways, another man in Manitoba who is legal to smoke it because he is eplileptic, cannot buy it from the governement, they wont sell it to him. He needs to smoke 5 joints a day(not everday), aprox 800$ a month or so to buy it from a dealer(not governement). Yet the canadian governement is burning LARGE amounts of marijuana. Now is this a waste of a valuable medical drug? or is it them being afraid, couldn't tell you. But this man has to buy it from a dealer named pierre, and has to drive for 5 hours to get it. As soon as the drugs go from Pierres hands to his its Legal. Now is this fair to have to risk this ? Being cought in a drug deal even though your legal ? Alchool is a much worse "drug" for society, althought Marijuana can be the gateway to many other drugs such as heroine, cocaine, and others. My opinion ? If your gonna keep tobacco and alchool legal, then why not make weed legal? If your gonna make tobacco and alchool ILLEGAL, then no dont.

If you ask me that is retarded, proving your a monster to get help from other countries? Oh, okay! I also heard about Iraqis surrendering, and shooting the americans as they came to capture them.

Maybe just THAT goju dojo though

My Sensei told me my feet wern't wide enough when I was doing shiko dachi, and they were shoulder width apart. I believe him entirely cause it's supposed to be uncomfortable, but it wasn't for me. But Im lost to how wide the stance should be ?
