Listen Up. The taller the guy the easier to sweep. Why do you have to kick him in the head? Just hit the stomach and sweep his legs.

Personally, I think the more techniques you know the better. And boxing is VERY good on the street.

You have to have fast reflexies. When they go for the kick, quickley sweep their leg.

Learn how to use every kind of weapon first, then decide which one is your favorite and master it! I would suggest Nanchauka, Bo(Staff), and Sword.

Hmmm, I agree with Tombstone. Try both and see which is better for you.

Yo guys while we're on the subject of rednecks, here are some additional jokes: 1) You might be a redneck if your baby's first words were, "Attention, K-mart shoppers." 2) What's the last thing a redneck says before he dies? Hey! Watch this... 3) You might be a redneck if you have ever vacationed in a highway rest area.

HAHA! LOL! Star Wars Rap! That's a first!

Nah, I don't really socialize outside of karate with my dojo buddies.

Yes I definetly think that it is unfair. I think that your Sensei is just trying to get money.

Wow, training with weapons first?! Never heard of it. And I wouldn't trust this style. Also, on the street you will not have any weapons, therefore you should learn how to use your bare hands first.

Wow! I have never heard of training in water, but I would sure like to try it!

Well, My brother use to take Shotokan and my step dad use to take Karate. But now, only me and my brother take Karate. We go to Tiger Schulmann's Karate.

LOL! What a moron!

Guys, my friend says that going to the gym and weight lifting is much better than going to karate. Personally, I think that going to karate and learning how to defend yourself on the street is way better than going to a gym. Even though you will be stronger physically and have muscles and an attractive body when going to the gym, what will you do against a mugger on street? You wouldn't know how to use your strength. With karate, you will be stronger mentally and hopefully have a non-quiting spirit, you can also defend yourself. But, the best thing is doing karate AND going to the gym. What do you think on this subject matter?
