Yeah, Being quarter hawaiian, I don't really know about Lua but I know something about Kajukenbo which was a creation in Hawaii but I don't think it was a "native martial art" Ka=Karate Ju=Ju-Jitsu Ken=Kenpo Bo=Boxing.

In A.I.M.A.A. Tae Kwon Do the ranks are as goes by followed: white yellow orange green blue purple brown 1st brown 2nd brown brown-black red 1st red 2nd red red-black 1st rec. black 1st dec. black then all of the dans...

So you have to hook it on to any pole or does it just come with a metal pole?

Speaking of Grandmaster Hee IL Cho, I'm in the A.I.M.A.A organization and I didn't know that Daniel Berndhart was a TKD practitioner also.

Yeah, There is more to the game or jogo then just what like you see also in movies.

They do have ranking cordao(cords/belts) but they usually play in the roda or batizado to rank up and yeah there are no forms/patterns or gradings but just learning Capoeira techniques and sometimes learn to play the berimbau and sing...

You'll need to know how to bob and weave and when that punch comes towards and it hits your forearms don't I repeat don't and try not to make it a habit to close your eyes all you have to do is just keep your eyes on the opponent.

Yeah, It's risky in a real street fight unless you're really good and you can pull that off but it does have a lot of power because the momentum of the spin then when the kick lands it's all in one motion.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is your best choice but on the topic about BJJ being better than Judo, I've heard that some of the Gracie's like Helio went to a Judo instrcutor in Brazil but all I know is that Maeda taught the Gracie's some Judo.

True, Hey has anyone heard that Genki Sudo beat Royler?

Gangsta rap like also DMX.

Hey, ain't that his name Tong Po.

Yeah, I check kicks with my leg or shin part and yeah it's really hard because it's a sidewards stance instead of a Muay Thai traditional stance.

Hey, I saw on your sig that you train at Pacific Taekwon-do and is that the place where your master is Daniel Kim?. Back to the subject now, You probably are in WTF Taekwon-do where they focus more on the sport aspect of TKD and if you want you can switch, It's really up to you but I would suggest going to a ITF Tae Kwon Do school which ITF focuses more on self-defense.

I've got one technique where you can dodge a roundhouse with people with long legs and this is how you do it: When that person throws a roundhouse you just 90 degree avoid if you know what this is and side step also...

There's the movie "Best of the Best" where the American olympic karate team faces the Korean Taekwon-do team.

Here's a gymnast Joe Eigo's site, he does those fancy kicking techniques also. http://www.multilevelmoves.com

there are no ranks or levels in MT..certain schoold might break up the classes in levels or whatever though to seperate advanced and beginer students. Yeah, But some Thai Boxers say this quote, "The belt is in the ring".

Yeah, In Tae Kwon Do I got the student handbook and it shows all of the basics and etiqutees and all of the belt techniques to advance in testing.

The complete Karate art in my opinion would be I'd say either Kempo or Shotokan I guess and Kyokushin is like a stand up art.

Yeah, Like as I mentioned it's risky and a high roundhouse could be caught by even a person that doesn't know how to fight unless your kick is really fast and snaps back into the chamber.

Jet Li does Wushu and I've heard he was China's Wushu Champion so I would be it is for real fighting.

Bruce Lee did have some heavily ground defense training so IMO he's the greatest and he would kick a** in the UFC.

I know what's Korean BBQ but no Shabu Shabu.

In my Tae Kwon Do we have a weird kihap almost like saying arrossoo, something like that but I think that kihap could be my personal battle cry.
