Practice is the key _

Politics is a good things to influnces.

I trained in the Mogunaga vrtical point karate club which shows how to kill an oponent easily.

Hmmmmmmm..........I would never data a girl in my school they will know my weakness.

Hmmmmmmm...fear and afrai?

But now in year 2005 they will make no mistake and they're toughtening up the grading system.

My sensei said "It would be very easy for me to sit here and say, don’t let it worry you, are grading are base on kata kumite kihon etc". He said his from different branch so the sensei did not see they pefroming or those people try hard thats why they've graded, are grading date are every 3 months which 550-750 student goes there or some are not been ask by sensei if they want to grade and went alone.

Thats what I do sometimes, after all that thinking and dircting my movie I tested out, what works best.

I have a rivalry too am 15 hes 15 just two weeks older my techniqu and his are equal when we spar is quite spetacular most student watch us when we fight, but I just just win it, 3 months later he has a new block which the other hands he use it to block his face and the other to block his lower body it is much harder to penatred through his defence, and when i give him a good weighted kick he grab my leg and unbalanced me and use a spinning back kick counter attacks and everything...but guess what my techniq is far better now and I beat him yesterday without jogging around like mad like I alwasy do.

Sparring is diffrent from real fight, so be relaxed gained more exprencie always count good footwork, never freeze if you do your oponent have the chance to strike, never tired youself out a good techniqes always win against strenth, use diffrent kinds of tenchqie during sparrings and time it diffrently. Hope it helps.

Thanks alot rich_2k3 I should include martial arts bushido.

Well, I heard alot of threads about how to get muscle 6 pack etc am a member here for a year now and i think I might suggest to do push ups etc like saifightms said am 15 and my muscle is perfect for my age I have a good 6 pack too. I do this at home 125 roundhouse kick, 100 axe kick, 80 spinning back kick 250 punchs, just do what you feel comfortable in ^__^.

You are right on, everytime my warm ups always start with skipping then strecthing then basics then katas then combinations and others little funs things. Keep up the good work.

They called me bendy boy, flexi boy etc.

Am so agree with you Rich_2k3 the guy that tell me that most of my lessons he gossip about everyone his about 17-20 stones and around 6'3'-6'6. He probabely is jeaulous. Also thanks for telling me to do more split so If I leave I can no longer do those things.

Depending on your sensei decicion semi contac etc as hard as you are instruted.

100 people 70 people do onec a week. 30 people do twice a week.

Am just curious I want to walk down the street parks etc feeling safe not hundreads of black belts walking around. Is there around 5 million? or 300 thousands? I've serch all search engines but non give the answer you guys might be lucky if you have the answers.

Am a 7th kyu but When I become a 2nd to 4th dan am deciding to make my own gym or club.

Have any one of u guys use karate in a real fight, situations street fight ambush etc. tell me about everything relavant to the question. Or using your moves on somone.

To rich 2k3 can you tell me the fees cost locaton flights to go and join sholin temple, do foreners allow to join?

I can do all sorts of kicks 7 feet axe kick spinning back kick etc. I once knock out a school friend with an accident axe kick.

Thanks for all your replies.

My club closed at Christmas so i practse so much of worrying am not getting into my shaped when i went back I was the fittest heyeye yeah!!!

Do you think people do the splits full splits in lessons when strecthing are show offs??? Some student told me that I was a show off I told them it is to increasds my flexibility and decresde injuries and others called me silly. My Sensei says its good for you and if you can do it do it. My Sensei always suppot me every sensei. But I cannot accept people saying that, so am not doing other type of spectacular kicks splits etc in lesson, so am strecthing at home than go to lesson.

I think starting at 9-40 years old is a very resoanble age to start I started when am in my mid 14.
