The basic rule for short people is to get inside your opponents reach. You have to stay close to him, where you can kick, yet your opponents kicks are jammed by your body. You have to watch out for him to do retreating attacks though, as well as hop back kicks and such. Fake to get inside...do your stuff, and then back out to a non effective range again....non effective meaning non effective for both fighters. Make sure you do some retreating attacks to back out, so that you dont get caught with a technique moving back through your opponents effective range.

do three reps of the splits three times a day...and hold them for a minute each time. Flexibility is about teaching your muscles to relax...try not to fight the stretch, just let your weight do the work. If you can stand up, and put your foot sideways on the top of a chair-back, then your hips are able to do the splits...and its just a matter of teaching your muscles to relax.

When doing a roundhouse your toes/ankle should be flexed downward to strike with the large bone on top of your foot/instep....using the ball of your foot on the roundhouse is asking to break toes, though it is good for the front kick because the simple direction of the front kick.

Give herb perez some video of wallace fighting...he'd have him beat the first time they stepped into the ring.

Baseball players don't guess. You don't have to see the kick to guard from it. In order for them to kick, their shoulders have to move...and his shoulders don't got 60 mph.

The people that "outgrew" it, most likely werent into real hip hop. Pop rap doesn't count.

yup.

Ummm...u just dont understand hip hop, and dont have a good ear for music. Nas is the second best rapper alive. And thats not even up for discussion...every real hip hop head will tell you that. D12 is garbage, and there are no complex country songs...all country lyrics are simple as hell. "nas isnt that good" - sheesh.

beastie boys are garbage...period.

baseballs come at 90...they are tiny, and they are hit with a bat thats about 3 inches wide. are you sayin it cant be done, or that it would just be difficult? I understand it would be hard, thats why hes a champion. But what if herb perez can kick at 40 or 50 mph...wouldn't his greater arsenal, and ability to throw faster COMBINATIONS of kicks be superior?

^^^ Yes sir. Here is a good example of exactly what we are talking about... Common: Somedays I take the L to gel with the real world Got on at 87th, stopped by this little girl She recited raps, I forgot where they was from In 'em, she was saying how she made brothers cum I start thinking, how many souls hip-hop has affected How many dead folks this art resurrected How many nations this culture connected Who am I to judge one's perspective? Though some of that * y'all pop true it, I ain't relating If I don't like it, I don't like it, that don't mean that I'm hating I just want to innovate and stimulate minds Travel the world and penetrate the times Escape through rhythms in search of peace and wisdom Raps are smoke signals letting the streets know I'm with 'em For now I appreciate this moment in time Ball players and actors be knowing my rhymes, it's like

Then try real hip hop...not mtv hip hop. Talib Kweli, Common, Kanye West, Nas, etc. MtV doesn't know hip hop from pop....I hate how they promote garbage rap so the generation of adults have more to attack rap for. Rest assured, what they play on mtv and bet half the time is not real hip hop. People say to listen to rock and the political songs, or punk, or whatever. I'll tell you for a fact, intelligent hip hop is by far the hardest art to write, lyrically. You have to write two to three times more for each verse, and it has to have a more meaningful flow. However, the upside to this is that the verse can be much more creative, and much more powerful. Put up some punk lyrics that you think are good, or some rock lyrics...and I will blow you away with some amazing hip hop lyrics.

This is rather ignorant. If a guy wants to spar me, and I know he takes BJJ...I'm not going to hop into the ring with him and hope that my TKD works, if I've had no prior training or understanding of BJJ. You're asking to get beat. If the guy is a boxer, I'm going to research some boxing (which is fairly simple sport) - I'm going to get into the ring knowing to expect all punches, and I'm going to go from there. I'm not going to look at him as just another fighter. If a guy says he does TKD, I'm not going to step in there hoping to perform wrist locks on him from karate. I'm going to know to watch out for fast and powerful kicks.

He has a far inferior aresenal of kicks though as a kickboxer. It doesnt take a 60 mph kick to knock someone out...and if he only has one kick that is clocked at 60 mph, people kinda know what to look out for dont they?

No, I'm just sayin that in terms of...WTF tkd people dont train in the use of hands at all to the head...so obviously they would be at a high disadvantage. The point I was making is that they have superior kicking techniques.
