your opinion? thoughts? I think most agree there is a pretty limited amount you can learn from any source without a school/teacher but i would just like opinions. Grappling is faster easier.

Yeah what really attracts you to trainning in japan anywhere?

Your toatal Idea is so wrong, you cannot study from book website etc. trust me you are soooooooo far from the real world.

'Empty hand' doesn't always mean literally empty - it is supposed to signify the clearing of the mind and body in preperation for training. It also signifies 'empty of any evil intent'. There are many karate clubs that incorporate weapons training, especially traditional Okinawan style clubs. However, a lot of clubs do borrow weapons and aspects from other styles too. For example, there are Shotokan clubs that train with kobudo weaponary, even though Shotokan is not a traditional weapons-based system. As for the grapplig, there is a lot of that in karate. It just depends on your instructor as to how much you do. Karate isn't just about kicking and punching, but sometimes the other aspects of it have to be 'looked for'. Your right every art is not complete.

Very scared... of the fact that some poor kid is gonna grow up thinking they're a competent martial artist just because someone decided they could have a black belt at age 5 or 6. I think that a child should be AT LEAST 10 before they're even considered for a black belt. You said it all yeah actually 5 years old black belt does not understand alot, a child should atleast be about 9-10 to get a black belt. I'd agree.

Wow really so it is famouse then?

I don't really shave my leg because it grows 1 cm a year.

"I am told in our style of Kumite competitions that blind kicks are not allowed. On the surface this seems pretty clear what you can and can't do. If you don't see the kick landing it is blind, but: I want to add some spinning kicks to my moves just as a surprise I can use on occasion. I have consulted some of my Sensai's about the spinning hook back kick. They say it is ok as long as I see it landing, but I am wondering if I use it in a competition if they may think I cannot see it land and get disqualified?" Well like me am not allowed to use any spinning kick machine gun punch axe kicked my sensei said when you grade to brown belt you are allow so am waiting about 1 and a half years time. Is anyone here bound by this rule and do you have any experience with ruling on using these kicks? _________________

Hi! I am a 1st degree black belt (Cho Dan) in Tang Soo Do (WTSDA), who will be testing in the next few months for my 2nd degree. I really enjoy Tang Soo Do. I never thought that I'd enjoy martial arts so much - I was always the last kid picked in gym class. I also enjoy the KF - I think that it's wonderful! I also love the movie Kung Pow - so funny! Can't wait until there's a sequel. ________________"Welcome make youself comfy ^_^.
