Yeah I've been there. That's a good site.

That's good stuff. A crazy englishman beating the crud out of seasoned veterans. It's such an unlikely situation. That was a good laugh.

oh yeah! I may get my bb within the half year ! That would be really cool!

Glad that you're enjoying yourself. Welcome to the forums.

Allright a Goju Ryu person. Welcome to the forums.

We always get lots of posts about people being happy about belt promotions whether it be in real life or online. this thread is for anyone that wants to brag about their new belts. this way we can still be proud without cluttering the forums.

It doesn't matter if Jackie just learned martial arts to be in movies. He's really good.

At our school we do the exact same thing.

I'm goju so we'll chat. yes there is strong emphasis on your muscle control and breathing. That way you can focus your energy when you go to strike. There is also a large emphasis on kata. there are real life situations that have moves that can be applied in a fight. there is also an emphasis on improv. remeber that move patterns are not etched in stone and you need to be able to make use of your surroundings and attacker.

I love my right side so I take a left foot stances to put emphasis on my right kicks but sometimes when I lead with a jab I'll do it with my left to divert attention from my right.

ah where muscles meet. There are many different kinds of pressure points. it's now been more focused. Just wanted to point that out.

cool. small circle sounds very cool. I want to look into that later on in my training.

A shot to the groin sounds sooooo painful. I wonder how you train for that because if you get it wrong the first time you probably won't be practicing that one anymore.

Angus, it is sad to see you go. I wish it didn't have to be this way. Bye.

Gladiators were mostly slaves that fought to buy their freedom. At the time nobody realized that they were decreasing animal populations so it wasn't a big deal.If you watch "pro" wrestling now I don't see why it should be so much different from the gladitorial games except that they were real and people died. It was all about sick people putting on a show.

Welcome to the forums.

Just the use of the word pee pee was enough to make me "flip out"

I would call it marguage and mixture between martial and language.

allright east coast represent! welcome to the forums.

wow, brown belt in three years! That's quite an accomplishment.

Well welcome to the forums regardless.

Welcome.

Hey! welcome to the forums.

great posting! You'd be surprised how quickly you advance if you just come on and post a reply to almost every thread there is like I did. It takes man hours though.

And from Joe as well. I don't have the time to go on on the week days but on weekends I post replies.
