yes help put karate in the olympics then you join. i'll watch.

never surrender. better to die fighting.

good for u

i'm curious. what is the style of Pa qua chang are you practicing or that dojo is practicing?

i train for free but we charge the junior students on monthly basis. the money usually goes to the fuel of our sensei and food if we have somkind of gathering or party etc. we all used to train for free all you have to do is show up with a minimal fee for registration but younger students seemed not to take the training seriously since its for free. sensei and i also used to teach private lessons but students tend to control our time. students should wait for the teacher not teacher waiting for the student.

what makes him good? he has SPEED, POWER, ACCURACY.

is it valid for me to say that his on the right track of thinking? visualize your opponent. shadow box. make the movements 2nd in nature. spar if you will.

yes very difficult to teach children. even if i remove "children" from my statement it wud still be a very valid statement. who says teaching martial arts is easy? that's why i don't teach nor allow children to join in training. exactly

nope, no knuckle push ups for me nor will i allow it in my juniors. but we do finger push-ups (diving push up and regular) our reason, we just want to toughen the first two knuckles, plenty of way to do that without knuckle push ups.

square i guess. other foot all toes facing forward.

i prefer striking but i practice grappling. locks and pinning techniques even ripping techniques are still grappling right? my art isn't just a striking art.

pay me? i don't need money. i have plenty.

ad, you feel the same until now? any updates?

why? is tae kwon do merely a sport? no. a tool to attract women? maybe tae kwon do saved my niece from being rape. my niece's savior was a girl also. a brown belt. the attempted rapist was unconcious, long enough for the police to arrive. tae kwon do have gained my respect.

if you take the time to throw, why throw? why? all you practice is throw? certainly kodokan is not just merely throwing and aikido not merely pinning and immobilization.

shoes should and must never hinder you in martial arts. any shoes i wear don't bother when i do my karate. be it combat boots, leather boots, formal shoes or any shoes for that matter how much more if i don't wear one.

i own a dojo

judo isn't just slamming someone to the ground. judo does not only focus on one vs one. its has application on multiple opponents so is aikido. judo emphasizes practice with a partner (tori or nage and uke) so is aikido. judo has submission techniques so is aikido. however both has different principles of training. judo focuses first on body then the mind while aikido mind first then the body follows. judo is a competitive art while aikido is an art without compitition (well, some styles develop a system to compete in aikido) what else?

i bow to you white warlock. what is the title of the book? thank you very for the information

he has written a book? you have read it? wow i too am interested. i don't practice his art but i'll ask my sensei again.

actually there is an I-S-H-I-N ryu

i also hope to hear from shihan kubota's disciples. i thought it resembles kyukoshin but that just what i thought.

really thankful about this discussion we totally take this subject for granted

bare knuckles.
