cool thanks

i prefer the front kick

if this guy is teaching, i'd ask him some technical questoins about your art, try and put him on the spot in front of the class. if he got his honourary belt for sponcering the dojo, its basicly the same as buying your belt.

sounds like your sensei is a bit full of himself. next time you get hit in the face stop and say something like "what area's of the face are you allowed to hit" this will bring up the fact that your not actully alowed to hit the face.

Anyone in australia know how hard it is to get a wepons liceince? i want a pair of foam nunchuku.

i cant see anything wrong with go-kan ryu. some people say its the money theye take. i only pay $7 a week. the grading cost a bit but its affordable and there not very often.

i train one a week and at home

I've only sparred twice at gkr and both times i've been hit and injured. i also think that when it comes to street fights most people can take a punch or two from some punk. sparring also teaches blocking, not just how to take a punch

Is it possible to loose alot of weight in a really short time?

You can buy a bag stand for about $100 i think mabey there are ones that can disasemble easliy if you cant have it up all the time

how the hell do you twist your nut?

I think i may have worded my origanal post wrong. i wasnt looking "beat him up" i just felt that a little smack would make him realize i'm not to mess with, and he's not a friend he's friends with my other friends and he hangs around in the same group that i do. i dont want to nor will i ever beat someone up without being hit first

I got a person in my group of friends who never leaves me alone, espacialy about my weight. i'm 16 years old 167 cm tall and i weigh 91 kilo's, i'm tryed diets heaps of them, i'm tryed gyms too, nothing sems to work., but anyway my main concern is putting a stop to this kid, and i feel the only way is to smack him one. But i recon if i do it wont hurt him and he'll beat me (this kids not big and strong its a confidents thing with me) my dad always tell me i hit hard, i always seem to hurt him when we spar ( he was a boxer when he was my age) i've been doing karate for 7 months and i feel that my punches are extremly weak, anything i can do to improve these problems?

You could try ebay

is that the art that was made by brasilian slaves and disguised as a dance routine?

Self defence, keep fit

cant say i've ever had to do that

i think muay thai

i know of one in mebourne australia, but thats it

I think that if you really wanted to you could teach yourself some basics but i think that part of martial arts is the fun that you have while in the dojo, which you cant have if you train yourself. Also a sensie would have many years of experice and he would pass that on to his students, so i think that its better to train in a dojo, most clubs are reasonbly priced anyway

Wow, never in my life have i stumbled into a group of people like yourself, i left a post last night i come back to check the night after and you've all answered my questions!, thank you very much you have all been most helpfull!!!!! PS: Valithor, i train in the eastern suburbs of melbourne, and i am fortunate to be going to see and train with shihan stacy soon!

I think something that a guy said in "the warroir within" dvd explained it best, "You can curse me, you can say what you want to about me, but if you lay a hand on me, i'm gonna hurt you"

I'm 16

Thank you very much for your help, it has been good advice, the only thing that worries me is that the yellow belts in my class do all the same as the green belts, is a normal thing in a dojo?
