hi

Welocme to the forums.

A little late from me but welcome to the forum.

Archery training sounds very interesting. Is this Zen archery or just regular archery. Also can anyone explain that whole exposed nipple thing with the archery uniforms???

sturdy blowguns can also double as escrima or kali sticks. So it's like one weapon with more then on use.

Kobudo, my goju ryu school, kung fu, and many many more.

Clothing as weapons or in conunction with weapons are very good. You can use capes to impair vision and stab through the cape. There are verious moves that can be done.

Butterfly knives? Are these actually a martial arts weapon?

This maritial art sounds very interesting. I like the sound of it. Could you explain more?

I teach myself self-control with self punishment. If I break a rule that I set for myself I punish myself by denying myself things.

He was a great man!!! He definitely desrves this honor.

Respect Determination Will Toughness (can be developed) If you have these traits you will be good for life.

It's definitely not dirty if it's in the rules.

True rolling around on the ground does get boring. There are so many more techniques that can be used. It is a waste of good training if they've actually received it.

all of your input is very interesting. As a Goju Ryu practitioner I have not learned these katas.

This is true. If you've got a gun pointed at you and you start a fight who do you think's gonna win? You should not use magazines as a learning source but for for enjoyment reading.

I rented a game the other day called Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. That game is the bomb. It's really good.

The chat room is ok. Usually when I go in there none are there.

True. I would not train at any dojo unless I knew that the instructor was qualified. My sensei is a 7th dan in Goju Ryu karate. He has earned the rank of Master (shihan) He is in the hall of fame with the instructor of the year award. Yeah he's qualified. But he still trains under his original master. That way he is always getting better.

You must really be advanced. Three sai's!!! I don't use sai's so to me ne is a challenge.

I'm am so sorry to everyone that reads this thread and thinks that I am cruel but I gotta say what I gotta say. The taliban doesn't deserve religious, lawful, or even human rights. Some people are now gonna point fingers at me and tell me that I'm horrible and that everyone deserve human rights. Killing thousands of people?!?!? How's that for denying human rights?!?!?! They shouldn't even be considered humans. Why do people kill each other!!!!!!!

At my school all of the katas that we learn are based on rank. Even adults must first learn basic katas to improve blocking and basic punching. When we actually learn real Goju Ryu kata you must try to do them even if they are hard. If you do not try you are no longer making yourself a better person.

I don't think that switchblade knives are used very often in the martial arts but who knows? As for buying one. Be very careful about it. Cops are still on the look out. I know someone that got busted last week for having one.
