Arent you worried about ink stains?

How about the ones that have huge yellow-page ads?

Yes, I heard he had a ego as well. But he could back it up.....I guess........

Is it on referral, or walk-in? Does it advertise?

Your a "new daddy"?

Did you find him? If so, where is his status in comparison to your instructor's? Not to compare ability, but as a lineage study.

So you don't completely know about the art you are in? You have no such curiousity? How do you know if your instructor is legit? Do you know that there is a different way to spell it? There is the Pinyin and the Wade-Giles spelling.

Depends on what that hand is trying to do. A skilled martial artists will respond with the right amount of force per the situation.

Thanks, I am a "link junkie"

But the origin of a Kiah is to expell the Ki?

In that case it is not an art, but simply an outlined movement, a plot of organized despair. Yes, I was speaking metaphorically, per sarcasim, to those that randomly "pick-up" things here and there and misconstrue the things that were.

Again, Wasn't he in many Ma Mags in the 70's? He had good demos with nunchakus. I mean, very good demos of striking. Not those fancy twirling demos. Are you talking about this guy? Great pioneer. Is he the samw guy?

I did say senior, I had said superior. There is always one that will come along that is superior (not stye/system-but ability)

Yes, but given the nature of things, and the Japanese migration. Many whom had traveled back into mainland China. Also, wasn't that a particular "family" of AikiJuJitsu. Didn't those family records state that the long time founder traveled to China? Not that I am saying this is true. And word of mouth, as well as some documented (by the author's design) cannot completely, hold true. Such is the case with Shaolin. And TKD not being composed from ancient concepts (their katas look like Japanese). I have controversal issues with those as well.

Funny. I have to use that. But it is also a money scheme.

Here are a couple of questions, though I may know the answer: What is the difference between Kenpo and Kempo? And what are their detailed origins?

Yeah, but I bet it won't happen that way in a Ghetto.

You don't. You make the style 'part' of you. What you learn, at the beginning, is just a bunch of actions and ideas. However, if you practice diligently, they become ingrained... a part of you. It is then that when you act, it is not you attempting to implement a technique, or choosing which style to apply. It is you, and your morphed interpretation of all that you have learned. Examine, for instance, the way you eat. Do you control whether you use a fork or a spoon to eat your soup, or does it come naturally, through repeated action and an ingrained understanding of what works, and what doesn't? When you consider that dedicated practitioners study diligently for extended periods of their life, sometimes extending to decades, it is not unreasonable to assume that what they learn becomes a part of who they are. I agree. Methods and techniques are to improve/stimulate reflexive responses. So in the time of need, these reflexive responses are stimulated. In other words, a technique is to enhance a reflex, therefore a good reflex, is a good technique (when applied). In a analogy, it is like your back is turned, you know a freind has a ball, he throws it at you and yells "Look Out". Instead of the reflexive response to cover your head and crunch, a different method (technique) is practiced, say, turning and catching or side stepping. But, there is a catch, it depends ON the methods/techniques, and whom is doing the coaching/instruction.

There you have it. Certain moves cannot be practiced full. Injury is a concern.

I didnt know you can get black belts in freestyle kickboxing?

One thing is for sure, he popularized Kung Fu and Wing Chung. And got respect for Asians

Demura Sensei is a local? I sure didn't know that. I had his sai book eons ago! wow! Our bus yard is in Santa Ana, so that's local to me but I don't go there often. Hmmm.... Wasn't he in many Ma Mags in the 70's? He had good demos with nunchakus. I mean, very good demos of striking. Not those fancy twirling demos. Are you talking about this guy? Great pioneer.

P-You turn on a no left turn Y-Yes, I am right-handed P-Didnt you see that red light? Y-Why, is this the hooker section?

"For this Demo, Any volunteers" Is anyone crazy enough to get a lesson in pain 101?
