Rising Soldier

I Have the same type of person in my class how great is that!!! My key is to just box them close-in fighting.. they won't be able to kick since they need reach .. if you don't kniw how to box.. i consider you hall *.. j/k just try to sweep but if there higher belt and your lower that ight not help.. just try to keep it close so that he is forced to eliminate his kicks

I think i feel something similar.. in the back of my leg i feel a lite pull.. doesn't hurt unless i bend down and come up quick.. yet when i strctch out and am all ihyped up.. i dont feel it weired

Why isn't it good 4 you when less pain is being accomidated.. doesn't it make your body stronger.. and able to take more hits?

I take shotokan classes but we mix them with boxing, kickboxing, go-ryu, and shotokan of course. TOday i had to sparr using only my fist ( Boxing) which was fun but harder than it seems... Take note i ben doing this for a while.. yet things dont come easy... takes much practice

"El Gran Campeon Puerto Riqueno" FELIX " TITOOOOOOO" TRINIDAD... Felix is the man.. no matter what any body here says about him .... He makes us Proud to be Puerto RIcan..

Maybe he'll move up to PG-13?

I have a question about sparring... I get extreamly agravated when my freind who's a yellow belt like me get's his hits off pretty well.... No he's not big or even flexible for that matter.. it just felt like he was getting in more than i was.. Im not a sore loser... I gave him the props.... Yet i got mad at myself for not beign able to do what i was supposed to.. i felt like i was nailed to the floor and couldn't get anything in... i sparred hm like 3 times and it was the same all the way.. i kept saying to myself.. "This time im gonna do it" it didn't work.... he is much older than me.. so I guess he got more fighting expreience.. yet the final time up I did a spinning hook kick which was nicely set but by mistake striked his jaw.... Sensei thought it was a nice move and awarded me w/ the point, ( even though it was only to the body that we were going for) yet i knew if I wouldve passed my target.. i couldve knocked him out, which wasnt my intention.. yet after the fight he was like oh i don't feel that kick to the jaw... while rubbing his jaw.. it's nothing I hate the fact that Ive been there longer than him..... and am more experienced but for some reason... when it comes to sparring... he got a little edge on me...i just don't get it.. what am i doing wrong? This gets me very mad.... I got a tournament coming up... and I just want to get my sparring straight.. although i wont be fighting people his age.. maybe better than him.. Please give me some tips on how to come in strong That is all I think lol

Im looking at your wife now Haha Don't take it seriously.. i mean you would look at an attractive women wouldn't you... Guys are guys.. that's what we do, it our instincts... ENough of that.. just be happpy that your getting it all.. if you know what I mean Just be happy that it's all you... and they will never get any from her lol :pony:

Well i used to hold my breathe alot... It's not good.. until i started to take quick breaths when working out..... Helps alot... gets rid of hesitation and tiredness, lol but i get a tendency to make this hissssssssing sound.... lol Dont matter... it works when sparring

LoL i don't wanna get dirty here.... But it's funny if you think about it

If she's h0t, with a body like Jlo I say... Kick it to her ... i mean who wouldn't want a girl like her... If your a 15 yr old shy kid who's scared of gurls .. Run away and go play with your dog... If your like me.. (Im 15 too) she looks goods, and has a tendency to flurt with you... hehe she could show me her moves after i sparred w/ her Then again .. don't get into trouble ... use protection LOL Anyways... if she ugly... just leave her alone... no bad remakrs.. just don't pay attention to her.. You seem to be giving her attention maybe she's coming to you?

My school is multicultural.. so no racism wouldn't play it's part... My sensei wouldn't allow it... and would halt it immediaetly

You should confront them and see what really going on

Think aobut anoher type of martial arts?

THere's No one art that's easy, everthing comes w /practice... so don't favor one over the other because once you master it, the training you learned will count the most.. Shouldn't they have beggners classes anyways in many dojo's?
