Do you Practice breaking ? I break little woods at home wall, anything really Do you agree that it is apart of martial arts? I do agree What type of objects are used to break in your style? Am a 7th kyu so i don't know much What style do you do? I don't want to tell ya Do you like or dislike this part of Martial arts? I do love it Is it Benificial? Well, speaking yes!

karatekid am your fan, also a wind blow past it was'nt me though.

Hi welcome to board, am not japanese but my cousin is.

I'd trained at home imagine its like A Class bow etc then do warm ups strecth moves etc.

Bubble axe kicks seems you been to Muay thai classes have you? that is banned, so nowadays they chose to do a death kick or an axe kick instead because an bubble kick is bad enough but a summer sult bubble axe kicks kills an oponent so ginchen funakoshi banned that kick for a long time.

Not really,..........strike in ju-jit-su is a karate strike throws in ju-jit-su is Judo, locks, is judo and jujitsu , judo was born from jujitsu if a jujitsuka grabs a karateka and about to toss him, the karateka just grab the suits and knee him in the face for 5 times and he'll be bledding, If i were you i'll watch the true fight and you'll see that jujitsu does not always have the upper hand. Thai boxer is not only capable in a ring they fight ground fight in northen thailand near lous.

If i were you i'll make my student worth the belts and if they want to grade to black i'll make them do 20 day cousre trainning snow marathon fight etc so as good as jakie chan.

Hi, I reallly like martial arts, I first started Karate since 7 months ago am 15 years of age now, and went there to the dojo to study some self defence, I was nor powerful or flexible 1 week months later I was so excited about karate and very dertimed so I study at home as well, I seen my instrutor doing splits so I practice alot but don't get far 5 months past i can do bassai-dai, empi, saifa and other two, Now i can easily kick 7'2' with my hands in my pocket can do splits, top student and looking forward to win a medal for my club and want to be an Instrutor about 2 years time. My goal in 5 years time when am 20 is to improve my techniques and balance reciving medals kata/kumite full contact, get a black belt, i was not expecting I weere going to be this good now am a karate assistance, and said am going to bring a medal to my friends to check it out, I use to do 20 proper press ups but now I can do around 34 press ups, I use to be a hard kicker on my right foot but now am JACK of all trades. Am going back to my country to get my ID done so the spare time is taking up Muay thai then come back and get my rythem and grade to my green belt...I always want to compete with other students but now am trying to get more flexible and get better techniques, my muscles biceps and abs get bigger and can take good moves to hurt me, I've traind up my nuckels that I can punch a metal wall full hard on for 15 times till it bleeds, so I've become better martial artist, and gained better confidence and better attitude...Am going back to mmy country to fight with some grate thai boxers to trained me up then back to england to do some good karate. I have been giving good advice to my fellow students and sempais in a sparring match techniques etc I use to be 51 kg 7 months ago but now am 57kg which is what Iwant putting weight so I can go to mid weigh match in tounaments. Am looking forward to fight shotokan students and goju ryu in the UK national tounament.

I'd do agree to Kf sensei, whats the point of MA without attitude. Good point.

I once fought an 38 years old women shes about 300Ibs 139kg, around 5'6' and am 5'7' she knows that am good at my techniques and kicks but she done a full on attack on me spinning kick punchs, very fast rate, i just done a few attacks and blocks but keep relax and going circle, 2 minutes later she ran out of breath then I done an axe kick on her head then spinning tornado kick felt down on her big butt shes underestimate me, I thought she going to beat me bad so I had no regreta knock her out in an ordinary fashion I grab my leg high about 6'7' then swing right down she done 3 punche and kick during i down my death axe kick but its worth it.

Tornado kick, Machine gun kick, scossor kick, death axe kick, jumping knee strike, dpuble fist to hip, finally its bubble kick such an easy move but extrem powerful.

Hi, are dojo are not allowed to skip, minimum grade is around 3 month, red - brown minimum is 6 month brown to black is 1 years minimum.

Easy, that is a holding axe kick but forgot the proper name or death kick, don't bother hitting his groin etc just side step then counter.

Go to thailand, live there a class won't cost you more than a 50 cent.

Am not a muay Thai just joking, every arts have differrent potential and all arts are not perfect, if wc fight mt goodluck to both.

The arts itself is from korean, judo is grapping locks throws, taekwondo is a fast kicking breaking hard materials and fast action, karate is from east china then study by a master then show to ginchen then master ginchen show it to japan and study to today it is know as never lacks power its a wise art.

I'd do agree to KarateForums sempai, once you earend your rank you are permanately earnded the belts.

katas, rythem, speed, concertration, momentum, area, position, kime, proper techniques, attitude. Things not to do in a kata; Think katas as a disco dance. Go through it like nothing do technique without kime etc.

Karatekid 1975, I got a makiwara from my instructor as a christmas gift for trainning such so hard and got a aplause from all student on my grading. I think its up to you but, if I were you I just get some wood from my garden centre Hehhee, they sells all kind of materials speciatly desning I got four for £1.50 each ones and wrap it around my christmas tree outside my back yard. I bleed sometimes but now I wera protective gears.

I don't lkie styles that change the old katas its just not right, I herd in holland they change alot.

Why you want to know, are you trying to find peples name and create poems, Name: Akiko Rank: Student Style: All am not black belt

I read, the article years ago and I mean years, its just a karateka do a perfect techniques that's so fassst that you can't see the shadow. Pretty simple.

A wheel kick, I have'nt try those yet my plan is stick your guard up, stay relax concertraed be prepare of any of his attacks, and get ready to prepare your own attack too. Goodluck.

Thanks champ, I'll teach what I know not beyond.
