i just use a heavy bag for strength increase and speed bag for speed increase and i do push ups weights etc.

ive got no exercises to improve it but in a fight be light on your feet and keep switching which way you dodge otherwise your opponent will remember your teqnique and know which way you are going to duck

i like the old rock groups such as iron maiden guns n roses whitesnake black sabbath ect.

hmm i suppose i will have the time then yay

right. how much are they?

just try your best you cant do any more than that can you

i have a friend (red triangle student) who goes there and he asked me to come along and see what it is like and now im training and i think it is boss

yes thats exactly what i think^

i think that the most easiest and simplist stance is gadambari (cant spell it) it is also a block but our sensi always has us in it whilst helping people he says it strengtens your legs

yes i have to do that exercise alot and it makes me really sore the next day

were can you get these books or dvds?

the first kata in my club is khion kata which in my opinion is really boring especially when you know it and the sensi keeps showing you over and over again ..but i suppose you really need to perfect your moves

i wish i knew those katas hmm do any of you know how long it takes to become a black belt approximatly if you are good enough i mean

my sensi controls his hits unless it his on his own trainer andy sherry then he will probably try to hit and i am referring to the word TRY because they move like bullets

hmm that sounds good and entertaining but i was thinking more of indoor like my living room kind of training ..any thoughts

congrats on doing well in your first tournament i havent been to a karate tournament yuet only a kickboxing one anyway i think that the yellow belt deserves to get beat so next time i hope you knock her silly and see how she takes it hehehe

i heard he was so healthy that his blood was really thin aND HE TOOK AN ASPIRINE AND THAT MADE HIS BLOOD GO THINNER AND HE DIED..sorry about the caps

thats weird because i do about 15 and i dont feel any pain really apart from the usual muscle tightness afterwards maybe im light so its easy for me because i am doing the pull ups right anyway what kind of pull ups do u do i mean hands facing forwards or towards you

well they are english words but i was typing fast and didnt realise that it doesent make sense

thanx for the advice but i probably wont be able to do alot of time each day because i have exams coming up in 2 weeks so i will be revising aswell

i need to know how can i improve my reflexs because i9 can work on my attack speed but i need help on my reflexes

CONGRATS on finding a good dojo and hope you do well there.

when i used to do kickboxing and i was in the ring i had so much adrenaline that the hits were hardly felt and i was fighting some huge fat lad and his hits were really powerful and i was like why isant he hitting me hard and i kept looking at the audience and they were looking at me as if someone had died then i just went beserk and started pummeling him using my speed and his slowness to my advantage and sure enough he went down to his knees letting me finish him off ahhh the blissful roar of the crowd

im only 14 so should i be doing pushups or should i wait till im er..fully developed in my er..muscles

im from LIVERPOOL home of the true reds and a scouser but dont think about me as a er..scally were not all like that here...
