actually the grasshopper practitioner was "whitemanwithchineseaccent". so... basically trapping is grabbing the opponent's hand and pushing it out of the way

I've heard this term a lot. What exactly is "trapping"? Sounds rather silly.

She is correct on many points, but she is angry and bitter.

I never claimed that her arguments were faulty. I simply disapproved of the way through which she presented them. Is there a problem with that? Do you disagree that she is arrogant and disrespectful? If you posted an article written in such an extreme manner you can expect people to comment on it. Why You are defending a person that is almost the embodiment of your criticism. She uses personal attacks numerous times throughout her articles, especially her reviews of martial art schools. Again you conveniently fail to provide evidence as to why you disagree with our disapproval of her writing style. Your limited knowledge of the schools that the members of this forum attend give you no right to make that statement.

That girl is extremely arrogant. She refers to herself as "eloquently spoken". LOL. That is the last phrase I would use to describe her. She also spends her free time going to random schools and being rude to the instructors. She thinks that because she knows a bit about history and a few principles, she is instantly more knowledgeable than any sensei who goes against her belief. She says that she is disgusted by many of the schools, but it is probable that they are equally disgusted by her disrespectful attitude. Why are all of her school evaluations so negative anyway? Does she have anything positive to say about the martial arts?

If they can't even get the name straight, what does that say about the style?

people who think that their art is better than MMA because they can poke people's eyes and kick their balls and bite their ears

i really recommend you look for another style

Bruce Lee vs. Oyama, Ed Parker vs. Bruce Lee

it will make your deltoids stronger though

sorry but holding weights doesn't really provide the resistance for driving your hands forward

how come no one uses double punches, or simultaneos punches and kicks in tournaments?

I'd say 80% hands 20% feet in street situations, feet should be used for low kicks, groin kicks, and sweeps and hands should be doing most of the attacking otherwise

What's a fighting knife?

where can i purchase videos of shotokan tournaments/sparring? thanks

use lethalo

thats when you take out your grenade

when someone is performing a standing arm lock is it advantageous to resist bending down and stay in an upright position?

Does anyone know or have a link to the free sparring JKA tournament rules(shotokan karate)?

in one of funakoshi's books he says that in groundfighting if you pin your opponent's head face down on the ground you will win the fight. what do you think?

I am looking to purchase MMA style sparring gloves online but I am not sure what kind of glove size to get. They come in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. I am 14 years old but my hands are about the size of my father who is about 5 feet 8 inches. So is there any size that most of you would recommend for a normal sized person, I'm 5feet 7 inches but my hands are about the same size as most adults that i know.

anyone here have an example of one of those karate groundfighting techniques that can finish off an opponent? also are there any articles or clips on the topic?

what time is shotokan aired? i'd love to see karate fights

i notice kung fu is not on the list. by the way i think that beinga a health club owner and all you should be a bit more open minded.

god you sure are stupid
