Samurai Shotokan

Does anyone know how to find out how much psi you hit with? the reason I ask this is because i feel my techniques wont hurt anybody if i have to even though they are pretty good Sorry if this Post may be misleading

Well they SAY she Does but I cant find out if Shes well Legit. Isnt strange that if she is brown or black she never went to a tournament. I mean I can Say I read the Torah and that makes Me a Hasdic Jew but do you have any proof that I did. Lets no forget Dan Rather incident with false documents presented as truth......and i sayed she could of been to McDojo i did mean to offend anyone but TKD was pointed out as the most abused because of this. So I just want to apoligise about that

Anyway im an orange belt in Shotokan when i was at a club BBQ i was talking with the instuctors. I was saying how I learned alot yet i felt i know nothing andmy instuctors were saying the same thing like when you get to black its really just the start of learning karate. So anyone else feel like this before? sorry this could of been posted before but i didnt see anything resembling it

Well I guess She is Not an in MA'ist. I think she had a bit of MC Dojo experince i guess So can Someone lock this topic?? its kinda dead anyway

Umm strenghening your lower ribs wouldnt do much. Just feel your ribs just a little push makes them go into you. Trust me it HURTS when you get punched there I got nailed last week and I couldnt breathe for a good 2 minutes and I had some slight pain the rest of the week thereand as for the solar plexus you can do the basic sit ups and leg raises but its a pressure point area so you cant really condition it

So what should I put in it?? small stones, rice or what is good and what am i supposed to do ? what strikes do I do into it ?? Please help

that Ya . Thanx for the info but no one can really know for sure i guess. But now Im confused than why did the Okinawins learn this martial art then and how did it survive hundreds of years? There has to be some TRUTH to the myth

I kinda confused because I heard they fought the Samurai and how can this be proven cus we all heard stories and such. Can anyone give be a link to the history about this since I cant find it. And does anyone one know about Tak Kubotu(sp) hand conditioning tape,DVD because i saw it in MA magazines?? and is it reilable

Does anyone know how realistically Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution is. It is the most realistic fighting game ever!!! THERE ARE NO FIRE BALLS OR THINGS LIKE that in Virtua Fighter!!!!!!! But I cant really tell you how realistic the Martial Arts are

Ok how do i find out about instuctor creditbility(sp) and so forth ?

Female: Sarah Michelle Gellar OHH YAAAAA Male: What you think I like guys come one??

I WANT TO SEE IT

I was born under Ox-Wood I think thats strange Oh Well Peace out

Hey I have a chance to learn some Tai Chi because my mom wants to take it. She said she would teach me some of the basics when she learns it to help with my breathing . I would take the class but it conflicts with Karate because it starts at the same time. So should I learn some from her and I get to learn some new forms too so should I cross train??

Im trying to improve my takedowns with some of the training I would take a class if there was one in my area but thats not an option yet dont you guys have any basic drills that will help??

I dont have any musical talents so and the computer is really not that big of a deal so the conditioning is still good and I dont have to worry about that

I totally Agree with you Devil Aside!!!!!!!!!!! Man she gets into your mind though

Hey thanx guys I was afraid it was Dangerous thats all for some reason I never feel like I can hurt someone if I need to defend my self Why is that??

I just want to know if it will help strenghthen my hand at all or if its bad I have a red Everlast bag that is about 80 pounds

the reason I ask this is because it says she studied Tae Kwon Do for 5 years and kickboxing and gymnastics but when i see that she has a stunt double and I want to know if that she actually took MA that can be verifed Btw I swear I see that there is another person doing all her fight scenes and stunts

well does anybody know what happened this happens every once in a while after class my calf just tighted up when i was putting on my shoes it suddenly tensed up and hurt. does anyone know how to prevent this?? please help!!!

I need some advice of how you practise takedowns and armbars ect without a partner cus some of our self defenses deal with takedowns and i kinda enjoy throwing somebody bigger than me to the ground and some general throwing grappling strenghting execise would be very welcome

Hey what about that other topic about there are more 10th Dan black belts in a large city(LA ect) than in the orient. Does that mean the same thing are they GIVEN the rank or did they earn it. My point is that it seems the west likes to get ranks fast and learns little on a side note a teacher is defined by his/her students

I need some advice for solo training cus I dont know how to practise self defenses and kata on my own( i know I make a mistake but I dont know what it is) and some heavy bag advice as well if anyone could help. I ask this because Im the only one in my family that practises MA so my family cant really help anyway. So how do you practise self defenses without a partner?? How do I get better at kata when i dont know what im doing wrong? Any heavy bag advice for strong powerful kicks and punches?

Um how bout "I like Big Butts" or "Cant Touch This" by MC Hammer
