Havent seen it, but have you tried search engines like google or something key word shaolin schools?

Well, in some cases you do need follow through or the move will be sloppy. I think it all depends on the move. You really dont want extensive follow through on a jab, but a thrust kick....its in the name.

Aikido is great for older people...not saying your old...cuz im 20, but its an art that requires little energy and mainly technique. So if you keep with it, by the time your 30....you'll be great!!!! Stick with it! I know people that dont start until their 50's and I wouldnt mess with them . And besides, I started karate when I was 18, and have been out of it for about 8 months and cant wait to start again, I dont really care about age.

I really dont think its that big a deal. At my school I would spar and I am known for my high kicks, so every time I sparred a shorter person and I tried to kick them in the head....*BAM* *NUTS*...and then they all would laugh at me. The one time I forgot my cup though I told them and they respected that and didnt kick me in the.....*cough* cahones

Yea, there was this guy who smelled like feet, sweat, and alao vera....kinda dirty. Also, my instructor used to talk about this lady in a class a few years back and how one of the higher belts always paired up with her cuz he thought she was hot.

Why is oklahoma so limited in its MA schools. All we mainly have that I know of is Karate-normal, TKD, and BBJ. There are a few Kung fu and aikido/judo schools. I want to learn like Gojo-ryu or shotokan or something like that....not kick the pad do TKD forms out of a book!

Cool, thanks!

I think the black tape stripe is still on the belt too!!

I really wish I would have been able to start at like 10 or something. Starting at 18 wasnt to bad but I still would love the extra 8 years experince!!

I feel sorry for the women though. I've seen many a guys who dont wash there gi's!!!

You do have a point about the bruce thing......wahhhooohh!!!!! My old instructor jim butin was great in his day and still is.

I am really wanting to learn the escrimas but I dont know were to find someone that teaches them. Are there any good books or web-sites I could check into?

Baseball bats!

Yea, I work with a guy who used to take Jujitsu, and now hes married and wanting to take a class again and his wife is interested too!! So thats good, if we had the money i'd love to get my g/f into a MA!

Thanks again all......

I cant go wrong with Bruce

I guess my GI and white belt

good job!!! Now what exaclty is kuk sool won?

Goldberg is a BJJ?

Well, the guy that did it was in juijitsu

I think thatsa good thing

I didnt know he was making a solo. Isnt Y2J in a band or something too?

Me....no, not me, not even close. Now, who is mirko cou cop? Cant say Ive heard of him. Im leaning towards, ken, ryu, and M. Bison. Haha. No, its really hard to say. I gar-on-tee that there are many a fighters out there with skills unmatched that we have never heard of, so unless you know these folk personally, I would have to say that question is unanswerable.

Yea, I work security for target and not everyone is compliant about comming into our office with us so we are supposed to use "non-violent crisis intervention tactics"-the least force possible to apprehend these fools. Now, me being a skinny not to strong of a guy, 6ft 155lbs and only have taken karate, I cant kick a shoplifter in the gut, or punch their trought, so were supposed to wrestle them to the ground and use locks or presure points to put them in handcuffs. and if im trying to grab them and there squrmin and running away, I would like to know a throw or joint lock to put them in there place.

At my old school I was told about 3 years, but I've seen people reach brown in about a year so it may be faster. I was attending classes at an aikido school wear it would have takin a little more that a year! I feel expersince is a big part of the belt
