Hi and wellcome to the forums. Have fun.

I have been in Street fights before i started in the MA. Im a kinda short guy so l had to deal with Bullies all that time and naturally i needed to defend myself somehow. I kicked butt and got my butt kicked too. Is something you shouldn't be pround of doing.

Do your Best, Focus, Keep your mind there, eat well before, Relax, make sure to make a quick review of your techniques at home, you'll do it just fine.

The Late Okinawan Karate master Choki Motubo who was a great Karate fighter who always proved his skills in Real Fights said that the only Kata you ever need to be a good Fighter is Naihanchi.

Now, THAT was cool. lol

I'm Agree that maybe its better if you start as a white belt. Then after you catch up, you can wear again your Blue Belt. BUT, if your Instructor says NO problem you wear you Blue Belt while you catch up. Then there's No problem. He's the Instructor and if he feels there's no problem you wear you Blue Belt, then maybe is because he trust you'll learn all you need to learn soon. Maybe you'll spend a little more time as a Blue Belt before moving to the next rank. That's all.

I have Lower Back pain... Never thought in quitting but i've wonder about moving towards other Art if the pain continues. Maybe i should start taking Internal Arts instead. Im a darn Old man. lol

Did you left?? lol

I don't understand... Just because a minority of people come and talk things you aren't agree with, you leave all together.. If you don't like it, don't read it. The Comparative Forums could be very informative if its used right. we still need to work on people's attitude. But as It was said before.. How can you make a diference if you aren't here. Anyway, good Luck and Doors Will be open for you anytime you want to return. See you!

I'll Never understand the people who won't tap in a training. It's a spar on the School not a "live or die" kind of match.

wellcome to the Forums!

Yes, its interesting.

We have a Dance Teacher who studied in Brazil. She's trained in Capoeira. She told me that right now, Capoeira is been teach in most of the places as a Dance and part of the culture of Brazil. She also said that there are some groups who know how to teach it as a combat method but those are few compared to the one's who teach it as a Dance.

I don't know... maybe they are unconfortable to wear. But, I better feel unconfortable than having cauliflower ears anyday.

Kyokushin karate, muay thai, Shootfighting, WTF Taekwondo,... lol I'm Just kidding.lol Aikido, Tai Chi, Xing Yi, Baguazhang, Some Karate and TKD schools have programs for seniors,

A Traditional Jujitsu school may improve your wrist lock, throwing and locking techniques. That's what most of TJJ schools teach. I share the above opinion that If you want to improve your ground grappling, look for Judo or wrestling schools. Sambo helps too.

I read in an Interview that besides his Submission fighting training he also train in Traditional Japanese styles Aikido and Ninjutsu.

Hey, KoreanTiger30 Trains in that style. You can PM him for info or post the info in the public forums so we can All learn about it.

Hello, Wellcome to the Forums. Great you train with your daughter. I tried to have my bro training with me, but he wasn't too much interest in the martial arts. I think he had the potential to be a good martial artist. Anyway, Have Fun in the forums.

A Combo of both sounds good. If you have the time and the money of course.

From what i have read. They teach a combo of kyokushin karate, muay thai and submission Wrestling. that's all i know about them.
