I will listen to my sensei. He advises that I sit in zanshin and concentrate my ki three inches below the hara. In time the pain and swelling shall pass. If only I didn't have to urinate so frequently. I shall keep you up to date on my progress......

White Shark, why can't everyone just knee their own bag? Why run to another bag after ten kneeings?

BJJ constantly test their techniques against fully resisting opponents through realistic sparring. A lot of JJJ schools do not and include techniques that just won't work in a real fight. Rickson ain't beat no 400 people neither.. 300 maybe, 400? no way.

5 mins Stretching 50 mins Full Contact Sparring 15 mins wiping up sweat and blood stains

If those are you're only two choices I'd suggest you go to the pawn shop, invest in a firearm and then learn how to use it. Otherwise, train at both schools and buy some tapes on ground grapplin' or learn some high school wrestling. Then when you have mastered both, open your own school. Good luck to you! I know you can do it!!

Krav Maga has incorporated Muay Thai into their "art". I love Krav Maga. I love Muay Thai. I love all martial artists too.

Akima, Fragbot, and TJS you are all brilliant. I feel a certain kinship with you. HANDS it is! But remember the situation rules!! Kiai!! I guess the lesson is never let Tradition dictate how you should act in a reel fight.

Yes, Judo reigns. Just add Boxing, Muay Thai and a little BJJ...you will be Ultimate Fighter.

I like Kickboxin, Muay Thai, Judo, and BJJ

TJS, you are hilarious. Chi glue indeed.

What's the registration fee at the Battle these days?

Is it true that it is a facade for real Chinese Kung Fu, that the style does not exist in the Orient?

Try firearms.

Isn't actually sparring an opponent more valuable than breaking boards?

I had no other choice. There were ten TKD schools in town and one Okinawan school with no child students.

Jhoon Rhee was one of the stars of "When Taekwando Strikes". How can you argue with that? So what if he is the Master of McDojos? He is a living legend. At his age, he has a better body than mine. Leave Grandmaster Jhoon GOO Rhee alone.

typically fighters try to kick too high hence the need for strecthing. High kicks are not very practical in a reel fight. Stick to lower kicking, do general yoga type stretching for total body and you should be fine. High kicking is not practical.

Not everything is working properly. There is a greenish hue on the first couple of inches and blackness on my scrotum. If this continues, perhaps I should seek medical attention. My sensei says it will clear up in a few days with Advil and ice as the above has recommended. What should I do?

Akima, I like the way you think.

kempocos = the anti-mcdojo

Fragbot, you are a Martial Arts god.

You must learn to cover all ranges of fighting. At any given moment one style or technique can reign supreme. Open you mind and cross train. Good luck.

Good post Fragbot. You are very knowledgeable.

JJJ sometimes works. BJJ actually works all the time.
