you like promoting that site dont u! do u work for them or something????

I HATE training in a lightweight gi, they're awful!!!!! I have a really heavy gi and when i first wore it, compared to my lightweight gi i felt more confident. God knows why but it works!!!

at the end of the day, no-one knows what life holds for them where death is concerned if u know what i mean. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow!

What does every1 think the best route is to take after GCSEs (compulsery education?) At the moment im doing A levels and im eventually applying for a civillian modern apprentiship, then into the actual police force. What route has everyone else taken. Main reason im asking is i've just found out that my mate in my year at school (lower 6) is dropping out of school to go into full time work and has an interview tomorrow .All her mates have gone mad , its not even work based training, its just full time waitressing. Shes half way through her AS levels and is daffed to drop it now but shes adement that shes leaving cuz she is bored of school. Shes really brainy and is making a huge mistake if u ask me but i dont know how to get through to her, its driving us mad! HELP!!!!!! WHAT DO WE DO!!!!! (or am i just being daft?)

GTA 3 is ace!

I always wear my white gi!! and just be extremely careful!!

women would be able to tell if it was a misjudgement or not, i mean i reckon i could. if it was clearly a misjudgement then obviously id let it go, but if i reckoned it wasn't, knowing what i'm like id probably go mad. I'm very short tempered as it is , it doesnt get in the way but if someone tried it on, i believe they would die!! (dedicated to my lovely boyfriend!!)

not meaning to be rude but shouldnt all these myths and legends stuff be in the philosophy section?

we used these rules for the first time on tuesday and they are gonna take some serious getting used to. its so much harder to score and from the reffs/arbitrators side of things, its confusing as to when to yamay, as you get points for combos.

does anyone that knows me going on the TKA summer camp in Great Yarmouth this year???? as far as i know everyones invited and its gonna be big!

we all learn the same katas , no matter what our age

im sorry but i have to disagree! who cares if some foods are bad 4u, as long as they taste nice and i do the exercise to burn it off , i dont care what i eat! Bring on the chocolate!!!

if ever i am stressed out, worried about anything etc i will meditate anytime! I wont do it while other people are around as they dont understand what i am doing. About the last question i use incence sticks also. I have meditation balls but i do not use them, they dont work for me.

I am afraid of death, i mean no-one knows the truth about what happens, i mean is there an afterlife or what.I think you just have to rely on your beliefs to stop yourself from being afraid. Unfortunately i havent got a clue what i believe so tkd ur right! i agree with the 2nd last post also, i mean at the end of the day if you lose a family member or someone close to you, you lose a big part of your life which cannot be replaced, which is scarier than anything.

i no it sounds sad but i watch eastenders religiously!!!!! and the simpsons is brill!

what has everyones new year been like so far? mine has been the worst ever and im starting to think ive been cursed or something! for instance boyfriend was held up at knifepoint by 5 blokes and mugged a bit back and on the 2nd and 3rd of january weve been in crown court giving evidence against one of them. My hours have been cut from work and ive ended up in serious debt from xmas.Then this tuesday i had to have my 14 year old dog put to sleep. and i thought new years were supposed to be HAPPY!

Do u mean hangetsu? if you do , i like that kata , its a nice one to perform. I dont think id ever use it in competition but its just a good kata to know

MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK!

Its better to rant than to keep stuff bottled up, trust me i know! and just 4 ur interest im like no1 cat lover so i was sorry to hear of your loss, its been nearly a year since mine died, although it was in an accident. Now we have adopted 4! I still miss her but trust me it will get better in time. And as for that poor girl well what can i say, she didnt deserve it. I am very lucky , i have never lost anyone close due to an accident, but send your girlfriend my condolences.

I think that learning to use firearms would be fun but would completely defeat the object of martial arts. I mean whats the point of learning how to use your tecniques to defend yourself when you could just pull out a gun. Martial arts isnt about that (not in my opinion anyway). Although you do have a point about learning how to prevent it from happening but to be honest i cant see it being possible, i mean if someone has a gun pointing at you head , if you try and defend it then your prebably gonna get shot anyway! If I was in that situation i think that rather than defending it i'd just run like hell instead!!! :eek: :eek:

I think maybe the BBC should read this forum and take note from it!!

I tried to be a little subtle about who i meant , but it does really tick me off! And also, dont know if you know this but she swore at Jordan while he was reffing one of her fights and was very lucky she didnt get shikaku. I quote "I never even ****ing touched him , ***k off." Karatekas need a lot more respect than that!! Although if she didnt just run in and used more tactics she really would be a good fighter, but i just dont think she realises. And for anyone else who is interested , she lost this semi final fight against me.

when you are semi contact sparring you can make contact with the face, as long as it isnt excessive or you draw blood.Best way to get around that is just simply if you are going for the face, not to aim for the nose...aim for the forehead, cheek or chim instead, then theres less chance of blood being drawn. As for your second query the only things that i could suggest really is that you make your you keep moving around your opponent, stay light on your feet and try not to stay in one spot for too long. Once you've sussed your opponent, blitz him/her! simple really!!

no, not all of them. my shotokan club doesnt anyway
