That's pretty cool how are they going to do it? Where did you find out about this?

Very cool!

I'm not in any competitions but could you pease e-mail about how to get into them? Thanks.

Brute force does not always count. Smaller people are more swift and nimble. A larger person takes longer to throw a punch and a smaller person can block it quicker. Bruce Lee was an amazing martial artists and that guy was Mini! Maartial arts are also a battle of wits. Learn to anticipate what is coming.

Sorry I don't kickbox.

I've got the perfect thing for you! It's called chin na and it's a complimentary martial art. It is all about ground fighting holds and pressure points. It is swift and lethal, look into it.

Karate is all about close quarters. Fighting in places where you may not have the option of sending out amazing kicks. That is why in karate you learn to make your hands very lethal weapons. :karate:I take karate!

This is generally not a good sign. You may want to start with your spinning kick on the ground and doing them more slowly. You may also want to rest for one minute in between kicks.

The word uniform come from the word uni or one. A gi's color should be that of the dojo. You may want to change color only to seperate high ranking students from low ranking ones.

Yes adrenaline will take care of pain but only momentarily. If you had a knife wound to the shin adrenaline would not ease the pain for long.

I'm sorry that I cannot think of any newsgroups off the top of my head but if I remember any I'll e-mail you.

I'm very disapointed in your lack of trust.

If I were in a street fight it could be a life death situation. If my assailant had a weapon and attacked me, I would consider killing him flat out. If the attacker was unarmed I would break his arm and call the cops. It's their job, not mine.

Your routine looks tough. You must be strong. If you feel that you can take on that kind of PT I would definately go for it. You will only get stronger.

Yeah!!! I know exactly what you mean. I practice karate every morning after waking up and every evening before bed. And I take lessons twice a week. I am definately getting stronger and karate is a self- esteem booster for me. I could stand at home and beat up my makiwara board all day.

You can never be to old or overweight to start taking martial arts. I would take karate because It is moderately aggressive but without to much exertion or jumping. I hope my advice helps.

If you do not know if you want to sign the contract or not you may not be ready to take martial arts. When you sign up you should have it dead set in your mind that you take karate for the following year. That is the only advice that I can give you. I hope that it helps.

Hi, My name is Joe and I'm pretty new to karate. I have advanced enough to get to the point of when I advance one more belt I will have the privilege and option of sparring. I am very happy about this but I want some good sparring tips so that I can be ready when I get there.

When the movie is saying be like water and adapt it means that water will take the form of its' enviornment. You should also try to do this.
