The Shotokan Cup is on the 29th september in Chesterfield, are you thinking of coming along? I don't have much time so i'll reply to Iron Arahats kumite rules l8er, Got 2 go!

WOW, you must of being bored!!! only joking P.S yes Tobias, you are correct. Oss

how long have you being training Kickbuttnat? I being training since i was 10 and i'm now 16. p.s what can we call you? ( whats your name? )

I'd like to do the GNR but i never get round to entering, how do i enter for next year?

I am entering the Shotokan Cup in Chesterfield (in the UK for you non-british members ) along with lots of members of my club, I was wondering if anyone else is going to the shotokan cup, or is in the KUGB (Karate Union of Great Britain)???

My favourite move has to be a front leg mawashi-geri, it's versy fast and catches opponents of guard.

oooops, sorry kickbuttnat

not at all.... i'm only 16 I do shotokan karate in yorkshire and i'm a 1st Dan. I,ve won a few comps in England and karate is my life. Where abouts in the mids do you live? is that mids as in the UK?

Same 'ere, my life is one big karate comp Welcome, hope you can contibute to our forum Why don't you tell us a little about yourself?? (ie, what styles you do, grades, comps etc.)

this isn't really to do with general martial arts so i moved it here I don't really have a fave film but it would be; The Shawshanck Redemption, The Matrix Rocky IV or Romeo Must Die

KUGB_Daz1987 is with me. KUGB_Chris1985 & KUGB_Daz1987, get it, we both go to the same club.

welcome mate, most of the bruises were from me weren't they??? (only joking!! ) C ya l8er

I really liked both of the origionals, but the sequals aren't out in the UK yet. but i'm deffinatly going to see them

This is true Tobias, all the Heians were taken from Kanku-dai and expanded, this is why in some forms of karate Kanku-Dai is the 1st kata to be taught!

lol How did a dentist become a brain surgeon??? His Drill slipped!!!

in the my Shotokan club and the KUGB, the only protection is a Box (groin guard) and a gum shield. and chest guard for women. but all members have to use good control

I argree BlueDragon, always control the tempo and rhythm! just like the quote in my Signature.

Thanks Tobias, C ya on Wesnesday. Oss

i have heard about this magazine but haven't seen it anywhere. Could you get me a copy Tobias? could you bring it to 6th form on Wed? if your coming? oh, how much is it?

Don't go into a fight with a plan of what your going to hit your opponent with 'cause you'll be too busy thinking of how to do the combination and forget about other techniques and whats been thrown at your head! always keep an open mind in training and use what ever move will hit your opponent and try and sus out you opponent during the fight ie. what is his/her stance, how does he/she move, where are his/her arms, etc. hope this helps

I agree with karateronin. Sensei Brennan can throw a deadly mawasi-gei jodan (round-house kick to the head.) I know from experiance, they hurt quite a bit to.

I think Ts757's remark about a cricketer meant a knee to the groin won't work 'cause cricketers wear a box (cup) when playing, hence making a knee to the groin useless!!!

I find the mia-geri (front kick) very usefull in kumite when your opponent is charging in at you and the mawashi-geri (round-house kick) good for long distance fighters. I like fainting with a mia-geri and using my flexability to turn it into a mawashi-geri. always catches your opponent off guard!!! Oss

I moved this topic into the health & Fitness forum as it has more to do with this!! Oss

I've only had my nose broken 3 times. and I usually have brused ribs when i come to school, just ask TS757!!!
