practice, practice, practice.

when you punch someone in the nose, they get stunned- their eyes water up and it really hurts. do that twice. also, if you punch someone in the throat (a harder target, start with the nose) they wont be able to breath well for like a day- so that will end the fight right there. other targets may be the knees, ribs, kidneys, groin, weak areas like that... but those first ones i mentioned are really good. *, though, if hes that fat you can out WALK his *, right?

change your clothes, pack heat, get a ride, walk in greater numbers, get good at running, call the police (lie about threats if you have to, but dont let the gangsters know you called at all costs.) and luckys right- a groin hit does not mean someone is out of a fight, despite the myths. it hurts like hell, but if i get hit there im giong to be so mad ill push through the pain, and on adrenalyn, chase you down and kill you. just so you know. (unless its lucky, with his credentials he can kick my *.)

yea- but only if youre reeeeally good.

i really like the sais and the nunchucks... although i bet if id trained with a katana id like it the most. like delta1 said though, assuming i dont have a compensated gloc 9 or 45 option. nunchucks are still useful today, though (you can conceal them, and easily use them on someone, you know.)

karatedepot.com sells some kinds with chains you might be interested in.

he does them wrong!!!!! at least the first upward strike i just watched. you ALWAYS swing it so that your palm leads the movement, not the top of your hand. if you hit like he does, you have a chance of dropping the nunchucks when they actually connect with something because your fingers can lose them, but with your palms leading the movement, when you make contact it just gets pushed into your palm. no big deal. (same thing for the first sideways strike.) anyway, no offense or anything, but i dont like this site.

the 1 and 2% milk, skim and all that stuff has little fat. even whole milk, though, is great for oyu. i have a loooot more than 2 cups a day, and you should too! and you, and you, and you....

i hate that spiritual *... i want to learn to fight, you know?

hmmm, i suppose- but its still dangerous, and that * still hurts like a bitch.

any little thai guy i see in a bareknuckle fight i like. (assuming he holds his own.)

well, being a big fan, id say quit karate and do mt and bjj. since im sure you dont wanna just do that- id stay with your karate for now, and then also try the mt and see how you like it. if you end up lovin it more, drop the karate and do it instead. after that, do the same with bjj, only dont drop anything for it, do them both. as for being 14- i dunno. talk to the instructor, watch a class or two, and dont just go with what he says, but listen to and watch how the classes are going to be taught. depending on how he wants to do things, you might be just fine, or you might want to wait until youre body is more mature. if youre going to be holding pads that adults are going to be kicking full contact, you might not yet be big enough to handle it, i dunno. use common sense is what im saying.

really? just shows how anything can happen in a fight. do you mean standup kicks or kicks once one guy is down? and yea, i agree that to be a truly good streetfighter you need to alter your sport-boxing training a little, but not much. me, all the boxing/kickboxing ive done was with the mindset of streetfighting, so maybe thats why i dont see it as a problem.

everything you say about other people, do it as a question. also, if you need to correct someone, just dont. try to smile to yourself because you know more than them- thats a fun thought isnt it?

really lucky? do let us know when that comes around. too bad too, i hate that tank bastard- id love to see you kick his *.

....... you know, i used to know that. i think i need to hang out with more intelligent people. maybe that explains why theres age limits for certain politicians (the president has to be so old and all that). if a politician cant betray you, what has the world come to?

while i have no real way to know, it could be niether... but im guessing both.

only cardio burns fat. if you need more on the legs, do frog leaps maybe. (you squat like a frog, on your feet and your butt is almost touching the ground.) then you leap as high as you can, and at the top of the jump you pull your feet up to your * again, then you land with your legs almost extended and slow your fall all the way down until youre in the original position. did that make sense?

MT uses hands too. and elbows and knees (woo!). you should get boxing skills out of it too.

sounds pretty stupid to me.

you know, that is one awesome post. just a tiny little post- i think a lot of bjj guys are content to stay on the ground because they can end the fight there. i have no experience with sambo though, and id love to hear more about it.

good points delta1, but i disagree for street applications. much as i love kicks, you rarely get a good chance to use them on the street, and much more rarely will you run into someone who throws them. besides, a streetfight is a brawl, which more often than not (when it doesnt result in a grapple) is flying fists. for the typical street fight, its everything youll need to know. also, defense is good enough- but on the street the best defense is a good offense. take him out before he takes you out. while id tend to agree with you on the gloves issue, for a lot of people its a non issue- me, i know how to punch and while i use bag gloves and all that stuff, without them i always do it right.

forget impractical, it would be impossible for more reasons than i feel like typing out.

what lucky? i live in reno half the year, and i dont see any mullets. just curious, why were you in reno?

hahahahahahahahaha! this is the biggest load of crap ive ever heard. will some administrator move this to the humor/jokes section? everyone looking for a laugh could benifit from smokeys "idea" i think. hey guys, look into space. how far does it go? we use 20% of our brains or something like that. wow! you philosophical people are too much sometimes.
