Riiiiiiiiiiiiight....

What the hell is SCARS? Angus

There's a way of combining jump-spinning and spinning kicks with advanced locks and throws. I saw a good one once but alas i ahave not been able to train in these advanced techniques... Angus

So what's this Ram Muay? I don't have a clue cos i've never done Muay Thai before. Angus

As i have said previously: Someone needs to TURN HIS CAPS LOCK OFF and chill out! Angus

Getting hurt is part and parcel of the martial arts... Make pain your friend! Angus

Okay, so how old are you again jackspratt? Angus _________________ Reason with an assailant first, THEN break their face! - Angus Argyle This Message was edited by: Patrick on Jul 21, 2001 9:08am

Yeah, i'd forgotten that u don't do any martial arts Pat... Angus

Since when did this become dungeons and dragons? Angus

True true.... As a freestyle martial artist in my 'earlier' days i did not properly learn the respect that comes with being a 'proper' martial artist. I was arrogant and fought a lot - but i was not like the Cobra Kai, i was not a bully. I was just easily angered and quick to the fist. Violence IS and always should be a last resort - but unfortunately many fighters such as my self do not have the same sociological background as many of the true martial artists who never use their skills for the purposes of egotistical behaviour. Angus

Heh, yeah... I don't give a hoot what belt i'm on except for the fact that a black belt certificate would look good in a resume when going for a security job. I sparred against one of the more experienced black belts last night and intimidated him out of attack... BAH! Angus

TKD is good, but i would prefer to do and have done HapKiDo which is also a Korean art... It's just more street wise and realistic to me. Angus

Ahh, such a pool of knowledge ken! Angus

It basically comes down to the way you carry yourself and the way you use your features to intimidate doesn't it fellas!? Angus

True about the kick to the thigh - but i love to block with my leg.. Angus

I probably could if i really tried, but he is like twice as strong as me with a longer reach. Plus he's a naturally good fighter. Angus

You could always check your footwork and use your feet to get outta the way instead of just twisting your torso.. Lighten up people, Angus

That's it! I've been listening to this nutcase bull on and on... There's no way an instructor would ever go on like that! Who the hell are you man? Like a 10 year old who thinks he's Jackie fricken Chan? If you really are the real deal then i apologise but you have to do a bit of growing up i think..

I don't thik i could agree more with you on that Ken! Angus

Very true, very very true... Angus

Hells yeah! If you've read a few of my messages you'd probably pick up that i've been in a few street fights. I don't have just one style now but i've used my martial arts for sure - and it's saved my life. Read my VIOLENT CONFLICT thread. Angus

I don't care if i get into trouble in sparring if a guy leaves his leg out i'm gonna grab it... That's just the most stupid thing you can ever do! Angus

Yeah, a lot of people are afraid to go out and do stuff because they don't want to be seen as inferior to anyone or something. If i had thought that way a year ago then i'd still be a blob! Angus

Ahh cool, now i understand. I just didn't know what was the go with doing it fast and hard and then slow and soft, and then soft and hard and fast and soft etc etc.. Angus

So i was at Karate last night and some o might know that i study the GoJu or hard/soft system of karate. Last night we were doing these drills of like stances and punches and stuff and the sensei would make us do them in both dynamic tension (like sanchin kata) and like really soft (but not so soft that our form is bad). I was wondering if anyone could explain this form of teaching to me. Like does it teach you contro over you muscles or what? Angus
