Interested in your opinions on Naha-Te, which was brought back to Okinawa from China in the late 1800's. Today, this would usually be called Goju-Ryu and refered to as karate, yet all of the kata are essentially Chinese (the 'S' ones) The differences between Japanese karate are obvious, but what would you consider the main differences between that karate and the Chinese style it derived from? I have heard this before and it has intrigued me. I studied Saifa when doing Karate and often wondered which Chinese style this is from.

This thread represents the posting equivalent of picking a scab.

No I can't imagine why anyone would want one. But they are sold so some must, prehaps some styles train in them.

so does Playwell.co.uk

If there is not probable cause or anything like that, is he allowed to take the cane to search it? An able-bodied person carrying a cane is always going to look somewhat suspicious.

I get the impression you don't have too much trouble scarring people.

Yes it based on how many posts youve made.

400 pounds must be pushing 3 * his body weight though. If its true thats alot of weight.

That is of course from his own site for the other side of the story try: http://www.teemax.com/busmanartical.html

There are numerous articles on the internet which suggest that the only person who can verify Frank Dux stories are himself.

Sigh

Have you ever heard of Kata? What about combo drills? Isn't this form of training just doing moves in prearranged fashion? You are right and I probably did not make my point very clearly however I did say "not just do them in a prearranged fashion". Of course Kata are prearranged so are choreographed fight scenes, and I am sure you will agree if thats all you are shown then it's not much good for self defense. (unless you attacked by a die hard movie fan who wants to recreate the final scene from his favourite movie" )

Did you throw it at him

Isn't this true of the majority of Associations that grow up around the more popular martial arts?

I think the difference is that a martial artist is taught to use the moves not just do them in a prearranged fashion. Just because someone knows martial arts doesn't mean they know how to make it look on screen, which is something else entirely.

I would have to agree Akima, couln't think of any way that it could possibly be correct. Although of course it depends on the test.

I think i'd have to agree

I often wonder what Bruce Lee what have made of the various claims of his "super humanl" abilities

"If people say Jeet Kune Do is different from "this" or from "that" then let the name of Jeet Kune Do be wiped out, for that is what it is, just a name. Please don't fuss over it." -Tao of Jeet Kune Do Prehaps the intention in creating JKD was simply to communicate Bruce Lees ideas and not to try and create a new art - Just a thought.

No sarcasim intended I just missed it.

Dont forget the yelling of every word they speak

Not so much step outside as jump in the lake

WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!
