welcome to karate forums SAIFIGHTSMS.....we look forward to your views and insights...........happy posting..

yes; the boards made of pine are about the same strength as bones. but rather than go into it again ...please review this thread........it is quite interesting!.......... ....and it can be difficult if your mind set is not right.

i participated in a demo yesterday....... it had been a while, but after the first board it seemed like it was yesterday. the breaks i did were with boards in front and back of me: 1) 360 axe kick followed by a reverse side kick. 2) front kick with a step spinning heel kick. just thought i would reintroduce this subject after such a rush of energy from the demo.

you are such promising young men...good luck in your quest to achieve greatness.............

CONGRATULATIONS KARATEKA.....next time i'm sure you'll do much better...........

sure; no problem and have a happy birthday grandmaster patrick.........

one of my favorites when trying to show off kicking skills is the windmill kick using the roundhouse..........because of terminology problems i will try to descibe it....... something like this: roundhouse break with a backward 360 degree jumping roundhouse break....try that, it is always impressive..... .the crecent kicks is the one used on TV all the time. oh yea; wear a witches outfit for this one. _________________ rushman (taekwondo moderator) 3rd dan wtf/kukkiwon [ This Message was edited by: iamrushman on 2001-10-25 20:38 ]

HAPKIDO is the way of coordinated power stressing non-resistance, circular motion, and strong kicking and striking techniques. i was taught with the water principle.......with the properties of water being that of flowing, subtle power with a seeming intuition for any opening or weakness.......total penetration of an enemy's defenses.........water represents patience. this was my teachings of hapkido.......

time off is a good thing as long as it doesn't turn into years off..............
