Yikes!! thats kinda scary knifehand!!!...You should go as hard as the lower rank goes.. if they come at you full force, watch out!!

WWF SMACK-DOWN BABY!! :0

Thank you... everyone for your info! Sorry about my spelling, at least you knew what i meant...

HAPPY THANKSGIVIN EVERYONE!!!

I love MK!! nO MATTER IF they martial arts are bad or not... i still enjoy playing the game guys!!

Hey MFGQ im in the same boat you are... trying to decide to go train in another martial art.. however i have been doing goju ryu for almost a year now so i definitly have the basics down. Though wonder if i should start a new MA before or after i get my black belt 3 yrs from now..

My instructor has a tokaido gi... he told me it was expensive but he has had his gi for a long time. So i would think they have good gi's if not great.

Just wondering... where can i go to get a REAL not that expensive, preferbally in the USA Kitana? Or at least a real one from okinawa??

I sprained my ankle awhile back... like 8 weeks ago...However it still hurts. I tried sparring the other nite at my dojo and it hurt a little to stand or keep my balance on it. I still cant move it like i used to be able to... its not so flexable. If anyone has any suggestions on how i can fix my ankle or help the healing process to go faster would be helpful!! Thanks!

I think every aspect of karate is important. From the physical to the emotional to the mental, you become stronger... Both defense and your offense attack is at the same importantace..

just what I was wondering... when i become a black belt, im not sure if i want to start studying a different style of MA or not. I would like to become a higher rank and maybe a teacher someday... but i am not sure if by then i will want to put in all the man hours studying the same things. However, i would like to make my shihan pleased with what i have accomplished by becoming a teacher.

Good question June1... i was wondering the same thing. However, i have always been wanting to take another martial art besides the one im currently in... Knowing that it might confuse me and all. I just feel i need more MA than what i am getting now.

Wow!! That takes some respect, dislipline, and honesty to do that Beka!! Good for you... BJJShotoshe im sorry to hear about the couple in your class... but as sevenstar said, you shouldn't let them get in the way of your trainning. They are the ones who arent paying attention.. just make sure you know you are the better person who has the respect not to do something like that...

Yeah especially when he dodges every attack black mamba threw at him... and when afterwards he always threw beard back over his shoulder.

If you could make up your own mortal kombat characters what whould they be?? and better yet, what style(s) would they have?

Hey what happend to Goju-Ryu Karate-do??

I go to college... aways from my dojo. I do goju-ryu and am not sure what kind of martial arts i could do next. I would like to do judo only because you throw people around and i love the sound of it... but any suggestion would help.

i know that my grand chief master is a 9th degree... not sure when he becomes a 10th degree, though. He's got high ranks in other martial arts however... My instructor just became a shihan im happy for my instructor!!

My kind of karate is Goju-Ryu Karate-do and it means the way and style of the empty hand technique. Really interesting... i love it.

I know i dont have the slipping problem with the floor in my dojo... since it is rug. However, i do have a problem with rug burn. I hate it.. it hurts a lot!

CONGRATS!!! I know i was excited when i got my yellow belt too... keep up the good work!

Keep practicing.. eventually you will become good

I know that ive been made fun at and people like to joke around when i talk about or they see me practicing my moves... i just dont pay attention to them. Because i know im better than they are, if someone does karate or any other type of martial art, its their thing... heck let them do it! Without the joking around thing. To some people this is a VERY serious thing.. i mean come on!

I was thinking the same thing... however i really want to do more than one type of martial art. However, my problem is that i dont know which one(s) to do...

Yeah, defintily agree with gojuchad on that one. My instructor told me it was going to take about four years, twice a week to become a black belt. Right know i am an orange belt and i still have to go through my blue, 3 green, 3 brown belt stage(s) to become a black belt. But i cant wait... i ve been excited about this since the day i started karate and by the time i reach my bb im sure i will feel acomplishment.
