Well, I've enjoyed it! Some painful muscles but i'm feeling lighter. I have been attending training for 2 saturdays now. I love it and I hope that i will learn lots of things from this. I would like to share with you guys why i started practicing karate. Two years ago (December 24th) I was held up and unfortunately, stabbed on my left chest! I was in the hospital for ten days with a hose inside my lungs to remove the blood inside it. The question is it okay? Thanks, OSU

According to some story: "Trovador Ramos actually defeated Bruce Lee, well the story was...Bruce wanted to have a duel with Trovador, and he agreed.In one condition.., Bruce Lee has to defeat Trovador's senior deciple. But then Bruce Lee failed to defeat Trovador's deciple so the duel between the Trovador and Bruce Lee didn't happen.There were pictures and newsclips of the two masters, when Bruce Lee was having few lessons from Trovador."

Well, perhaps it's good i need to trim some fatty bellies here, lol. Atleast, if I got beaten up I'll learn my lesson in running . I like the 40man Kumite. Imagine if you can beat them all you're really cool, but must always be kind and generous with anyone.

I've seen some schools here but never tried to get into it. I will be going to check out Kyokushin this coming saturday. Never been to any martial arts school. But here in my country the most popular native martial arts is Arnis/Eskrima I trained for it but never continued the training but I think it's a good self defense system with or with weapon.

What can you say about this style of karate? I am planning to start attending training this coming saturday here.

Yaw Yan or saYAW ng kamataYAN in english means Dance of Death. Is a Filipino martial arts like Arnis/Eskrima. It sounds chinese, the movements slightly resemble that of Thai-Boxing and Korea's Tae-kwon-do but the origin is strictly Filipino. Yaw-Yan is billed as the Philippine's most lethal martial art. The acknowledged originator of Yaw-Yan is Grandmaster Napoleon A. Fernandez, a native of Quezon province, himself an undefeated All-asian and Far-East Kickboxing champion. The word Yaw-Yan was derived from the two last syllables of "Sayaw ng Kamatayan" meaning "Dance of Death". Contrary to most popular belief, Yaw-Yan is not purely a full-contact no-holds barred sport martial arts. It is a complete martial training with body-mind coordination and test of enduring indomitable spirit. More than just physical training, it also involves the mental disciplines of focus, concentration, alertness, flexibility, stamina, speed and continuity. Students train for real confrontation and actual fights -- on or off the ring. Advanced Disciples have to go through a rigorous ritual of practice and discipline consisting of actual full-contact sparring, bag hitting, and flexibility exercises. The Elbows (siko), knees (tuhod), and shin (lulod) are utilized in much the same way as in Muay Thai. Yaw-Yan practitioners have to learn 40 basic kicks, advanced disciples have to be able to execute and apply complexed advanced kicks requiring great dexterity, flexibility, and mastery. Most of these advanced kicks are trick kicks which always caught unsuspecting opponents by surprise. http://members.aol.com/yawyan/

That was too expensive!! I've inquired in a karate school here in manila, Philippines and they only charge 25Php (=.50USD) and a membership fee of 150.00Php (=1.50USD). I haven't asked about the grading fees yet...
