Rotten Head Fok

I like sparring very much and it has been several years since I've had the oppertunity, but the coolest move, best move, or combination I love is in the sparring itself when creativity, spontaneity, and real time awareness reveals it pearls!

I don't think it is, I've heard of people wanting to become personal body guards going to this type of training. But why not call them, write them and do some really good research, are you thinking about going ?

Ha ha ha

Hello, Welcome to Karate Forums!

Hello, Welcome to Karate Forums !

Hello, Welcome to Karate Forums ! This is a great place to help you with your questions about martial arts.

markusan, I agree with what you've said. Meditation is a tool and can be used by anyone for anything. As for people thinking that what I've chosen to do with my time here on earth is a waste of time, I can if I wanted say the same about others. Instead I choose to respect the right of others to do what they want to do; without my judgement as long as they are not violating anyone else in their life.

From my studies and practice being in a quiet and thinking nothing is the goal, but this comes from people that believe in that method. I think that any attemp at different ways are good in the respect that it beats not doing anything at all. I have heard a few meditation CD's at local malls, but I've yet to purchase one. However I'm am interested in the results as every ma should keep an open mind to all that is. So anyone here with there experiences, please feel free to share with us. I have thought about just playing these sounds in my home for the calming effects.

This is a curious question, does Canada have phone books with business listings ?

Welcome to KF red star !, I'm sorry but I don't know of any information that can be of help, but there are others here that might. Good luck in your quest.

"Be natural, lift within your capacity, eat right, and stretch well." I agree, very good point!

Hello, Welcome to Karate Forums!

I have no clue, So I'll keep checking back Tang SooGuy, from what you've said I understand.

Congradulations Kakarotto !

Welome to KF x-woman, yeah protection is a good thing!

battousai16, I humbly thank you for the compliment, but all arts are great and those that choose to dedicate the time to learn them. Also thanks for the heads-up on the articles, I live in a very small town and the only publications available here is Black Belt, so now I'm going "In Search Of", Thanks!

Spin, I say keep on with your flashy practice and learn more about practical applications. Have fun and work hard, you'll be happier when you understand even more about Nunchaku.

After many years of sparring, the Instuctor ask you to spar with the new student that lands a good strike on you with their first try. Staying late to get in more practice in the back room, you goto leave and find yourself locked-in. During an annual training seminar with 300 students the grandmaster has everyone's attention while he demonstrates techniques on you; you break-wind.

Thanks aefibird, funny stuff! I was laughing to myself, soon I'll be moving and I was thinking;"you look for a place to live based on the amount of practice space it provides. " It's true.

Thanks GrrrArg!

Good luck Kakarotto, but if you have practiced and studied you won't need it.

hey battousai16, The topic is headlined "best american film" then mostsolid asks" what is your favorite martial arts films of all time" So since you have noticed, you tell me, What's a guy to do ?

I do not now, sorry.

Good point Hudson, I have used wieghts in my training, but I use them to target specific goals that will enhance my skills.
