Great info, thanks guys

Wow, that's very interesting. What do you call a straight punch?

If I were going to do the McDojo thing, I'd use "Rock em Sock em Karate"

Great explanation

Man oh man we could keep running with this indefinitely.

Did that help?

So...many.....bunnies!

I don't think Kalaripayattu uses pads, and it is an Indian MA.

I agree, and of course that makes it official. LOL.

Every day I learn about a new style! This place is amazing.

Be careful of course, you don't want to do anything which will aggrivate the knee.

Maybe there should be a meets category.

We've used it as a black and an attack. In one application the top fist is blocking, and the bottom one is an attack. In the second application, the bottom one is blocking a kick, and the top is blocking.

Yes good luck!

I don't really use the instructional video. I prefer the student/teacher face to face approach.

IMHO the circulating life energy that in Chinese/Japanese philosophy is thought to be inherent in all things; in traditional medicine the balance of negative and positive forms in the body is believed to be essential for good health.

Focus Health Personal exploration ...oh, and to hunt the unbelievers!

Sounds more like a joke. But I'd be interested in learning what is is anyhow.

Its an interesting study, I would be interested to see the results of some logitudinal studies on this.

Hello all, Just wondering how long your instructor training was, and what you needed to do in order to qualify. I'm interested in seeing what each of you have to say about your particular style...and what you think of the pros/cons of this process. Thanks

In Canada over the past few years gun control has become much more strict. It didn't help, much like the UK. The national headquarters for gun control is in the province of New Brunswick, and even they decided to repeal the gun legislation, because it wasn't working. Kind of ironic.

I don't know, we reported it of course, but I doubt it. We didn't know who it was so I don't think he was arrested. I don't know if the loser said much about the identity of the big guy.

Funny you should mention it.. I came second in a tournament using those 2 kata a couple of days ago! LOL nice

I'm glad! Some folks can't take any opinion other than "you're the best"
