We did'nt have a saying or anything like that. But my sensei had a saying that he would say alot to us about street fights,"dont start them just finish them" he would tell me not to start or get into fights but if I did make sure that I finish off my opponent.
I do a little bit of shadow boxing but with kicks and i tell myself that I am better , I have worked harder and trained harder and that I want it more than anybody..........and than I just drink alot of sprite it helps to calm me down. Than I just get in there and do what I gotta do to win.
I do it cause I love it and it is honestly the only thing I am really good at. I cant see myself not doing martial arts cause when Im not training Im thinking about it.and sometimes I would wake up late at night and just go outside and do kata or work with my weapons. I dont know, I guess its a addiction.
Trinidad got tossed up, Im glad he did.......I thought he was too ****y going into the fight. He underestimated Hopkins fighting ability and he got spanked.
We have punching techniques and than we also have techniques that are numbered. Sometimes when we train my sensei will tell me to do a technique against a opponent throwing a certain kind of punch and he'll just say" show me waza" no specific technique just whatever technique comes out of us. And than there are times when he'll say " show me techniques 1 or 2 etc" But I dont know if that is from kajukenbo or not. Because my kajukenbo instructor also teaches us Limalama. And when we go train at my senseis old Limalama school they also have numbered techniques.But those numbered techniques are different from the ones my sensei taught us.The ones my sensei taught us are Kajukenbo I could tell because Limalama looks very different from kajukenbo. So I dont know if my sensei just adopted the numbering techniques from his Limalama training or if he learned it during his kajukenbo training. Now that I think about it I wish I knew exactly where that came from. I have'nt had the oppurtunity to train at another kajukenbo school but my own. My sensei's instructor moved to Washington so I dont know if they do that or not. I have a freind who trained Kajukenbo-Chuan Fa so I'll ask him if they have numbered techniques.
I dont really know the difference in the two styles. But you dont have to worry about anything. The machados are one of the best in the world in Brazilian Jujitsu. Many well known martial artists train in machado jujitsu. People like Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal,Kathy long. even Dan Insanto recieved his black belt in BJJ from the Machados. The Gracie style is a great style and the machado style is just as good. So dont sweat it bra.
balance is very important. You be balanced so when you throw a kick and hit the opponent you wanna be balanced so that you dont fall when delivering kicks.
hey wasssup Chris. Finally, i was beginnig to think that i was the only kempo/kenpo practitioner in this whole forum. Anyways whats up bra. That was my post you probaly saw , I study kajukenbo which is a offshoot style from Professor James Mitoses kosho ryu or kenpo jujitsu style. which ever one you want to call it. And I also study Limalama which is also considered a Kenpo art.
