I recently purchased a Golu Ryu Tape to practice with from panther martial arts and at the end of the tape there was a forty five minute section teaching self defense techniques for jan bo jutsu (short staff ) The staff is about 12" long and very useful. I was just wondering if anybody else here has heard of or even trained in this art.

I myself have found that expensive gym equipment is just no excuse for killing yourself doing crunches. There are many crunch variations. You can raise your legs to get more resistance. You can tuck and peddle every time that you complete a crunch.

YODA, Once again your knowledge amazes me. Thank you very much for your help. IT was a useful link.

Hey Beaker.

Hey Moo! I study Goju Ryu so it's good to see another practitioner.

I just wanted to know if anyone is going on an upcoming vacation. I am going to Africa and I'm leaving this morning.

oh yeah and Appolo is gonna kill in speedskating!

You'll advanced quickly. Ma is like riding a bike. You never really forget.

O.k. when I'm at hotels in the pool alone I act like I can do those crazy Matrix and Crouching Tiger moves in slow mo. Does that count?

Go for it! Kick that guy's arse. Just don't get yourself into trouble again.

Black belt. Everything before black belt is basics. When you get to black belt you have masteres the basics and are ready for your true training.

That was a good read.

That was a good article was great insight. All of our lives are busy right now. It is good that someone addressed this topic.

To keep a really persistent fast person away work into a rythym of blocks and then throw it off with a quick barrage of punches. It always throws them off.

alright I know that you have all heard that boys and girls are equal. But I don't think that girls are always as willing to go all out as guys. I personally have never lost to a girl but I have to my fair share of guys.

Why did everyone choose the names that they did for this site? I chose mine because James Bond rules!

Go America!!! We're #1 in women's halpipe snowboard!!!

This thread was a long long read but I enjoyed it.

Well said KickChick but couldn't you do that without the headgear. When I first saw the topic of this thread I thought "A thread on orthodontics?"

O.K. Since Feb. 14 Is valentines day. Let's make feb. 15 National Smack Day and your goal for the day is to find a picture or maybe even the real thing and smack it.

It's cool that you are coming in here with this bad ass attitude but this is a MA website. So cut it with the attacking imperialist america and drugwar crap. We want to talk Martial arts. Welcome to the forums.

allright the neck grab. Rest both of your forearms perpendicular to theirs. Squeeze to bring their arms to your chest. This will break the hold but now you have to do something with them. With the arms still clamped step backwards and turn sharply. This will bring them to the ground.

How about chin na? If someone is behind you with their right hand on your right shoulder you clamp their hand to shoulder with your left hand across the chest and then with your elbow you turn and apply pressure to their grabbing arm. Try it.

Quite the only thing that seperates the two is the grip.

I finally found out what a klingon weapon was and they're pretty cool.
