O.k. combat arts. If you were in a street fight which art would you really want to know at that time? That's probably a combat art.

Welcome Spooky Dog

Taurus! and a Serpent! Both deadly in their own seperate ways.

My favorite stance in sanchin dachi (half moon stance) in karate. It is very strong. All of your muscles must be tense. The instructor in traditional school test this stance by hitting you with a stick.

Well everybody here has covered what I was gonna say.

Aikido does have strikes through. The whole art is based on fluidity and the balance of nature. All of the moves that you see will be very fluid. None of this jerking about.

I forget how much per class but to get there it's about 4 min. I live in the world's smallest town!

AnOne, that was very insightful of you. Do you yourself follow this goal setting program? How is it working out? How many of your goals have you accomplished?

Smaller is not always better yoda. I train in a o.k. never mind. I train in a small dojo. Smaller is better.

welcome

Welcome

Hola amigo nuevo. Tienes una ahora buena en un citio de los artes maciales.

Every class three times each I practice them 5 tmes each on non-class days.

They should always be white until you get bb. Then you can wear black.

I don't want to sound obnoxious but I'm of Japanese heritage and please don't call us japs. To give you an example it's like calling a black person nigg** it's a coarse and rude remark and since us japanese are big on the whole respect issue it would help if you'd not say that. Thank you.

Sounds great! Welcome back.

Now I'm just confused!!! I'm gonna say that it is the art that relies on the person sometimes and other time a person will be better suited to different arts.

Great links!

I started for many reason. I have always wanted to be like these guys on a show called Masters! They were taking like 30 guys at a time. It was all fake but I didn't have to know that. It amazed me. My great grandfather was a black belt in Iado, Kendo, and in Judo. My whole family looks up to him as like a god or something so, naturally I wanted to be like him. I have been practicing Goju Ryu since the start and I intend to follow through while I cross train with other arts. Karate has shown me a knew way of life.

Well thanks for making things easier for us!

Guess what??? I have a video game that's not 2d and nobody goes wutah!!!!

I'm with Bon until the tucking your head into your shoulder part. Wouldn't you rather not be hit at all?

Let's just hope that special effects don't replace good old martial arts and bad acting.

What Goju ryu katas do you know? In my school I have learned: Gek sai ichi Gek sai ni 2 Tai chi katas 4 namphakten katas (nothing to brag about all of the nampahkten are too easy) Sanchin
