Any sparring advice for a small woman?
Gilbert replied to taekwondomom's topic in TKD, TSD, Hapkido, and Korean Martial Arts
dont look at the height, the builtness, or whatever that might bring you to say that you wont be able to beat or even be match againts your opponent. get in your fighting stance. relax, for he is just another opponent. let him kick you and just wait for an oppening and counter. if he kicks to high move in and unbalance him quickly and counter with punches quickly. i know in tkd they are teaching you alot of good kicks but only use the ones neccessary when sparring. remember stay relaxed and see those openings. its easy..... remember you are sparring to learn about yourself and to get a feel of fighting. -
a while back i went to buy a sword. i realized the dealer had a tai chi sword in his backpack..or whatever that bag is called. so i just asked him are you familiar with the martial arts? he said very slowly to me he practiced tai chi. he said he'd been practicing since he was very young and that an old man had taught him. he had a bad leg. he was about 50 yrs old (in my thinking, as i saw him). after the talking he said to throw a punch at him. no people were around that time. but i kept thinking what if i hit him. i mean i know he serious but nobody is perfect and maybe he'll miss the technique and get hit. so got my guard up to let him know i was gonna punch. as i threw the punch straight forward i noticed he moved all his balanced to one leg while grabbing my arm and hitting me in my shoulder and stop there. he said he could've easily broken my arm. i noticed he was very flexible and well maintained in his balanced. what stunned me that at that moment when he got my shoulder he gave out a deep breath and i noticed him sweating and very concentrated. i knew this guy was full of chi/ki and knew how to develop it in an instant. never underestimate your opponent even in one on one...

Aikido help
Gilbert replied to 3hitKO's topic in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, and Grappling Martial Arts
Try out aikido and find out yourself. to be honest i went to a karate class the other day to check it out. i tried it out and when it came to sparring im so used to aikido. so one on one sparring was easy so when the other two came in. being three on one i have to say i was taking them down easily. i directed one guys sidekick to the guy behind me who was coming at me. aikido is useful and not understandible until one tries it. it does take a while but even with the basics you can defend yourself. -

Aikido Videos
Gilbert replied to jedimc's topic in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, and Grappling Martial Arts
seagal is very trained and skilled. did you see those kicks being countered like nothing. good videos man. that is what aikido really is about. if your in aikido stay in it and you will be that good even better. well good luck. -
thats exactly what i said. not to concetrate to much on one thing.

there was once upon a time three prisoners. they had been locked up for life in prison. they planned an escape plan. that they were gonna dig theirselves out. while they were digging they found a lamp. they were astonish and rubbed the lamp. a jinney came out and said he would grant three wishes. they said to themselves well we are three let us each get one wish. the first one said..i wish i could go back to san fransisco with my 4 daughters and wife and be a millionaire. pummm he disapeared and his wish was granted the second one said i want to go to my home in new york and be rich also and own many possessions. he disapeared with his wish granted and wento to new york. the third one started crying and said. you know ive been alone all my life. i dont have no one. no family no sons. i want my friends back and boom his friends were back in the cell with him. the others were all angry.

i one time too defended my girlfriend. there was this guy behind my girlfriend. i ignored until i couldnt hold myself. i was barely starting to study aikido at the time. but i was a good boxer. i saw him from far away and went to him to calm things down until he push me. i reacted with a kick to the groin and 4 quick punches to the face. he went down. when he got up he grabed a rock and wanted to throw it at me. he did throw it and hit me on my arm. i got real mad and went up to him and kicked him in the legs (i had studied another art before and it helped me on my kicking)and i kept throwing combonations. i couldnt control myself. but aikido has helped me a great deal on feelings now.

The mind.....
Gilbert replied to Gilbert's topic in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, and Grappling Martial Arts
Whats a No-Mind? well a no-mind person means having the ability to react to anything without nervousness or readiness. One is always relax and can counter almost anything. is always free of stress or many things on the mind it is quite simple to get accostom to this. try not concentrating your mind on many things. when shaking hands with a friend shake it lightly not hard and have no concentration. do things as you normally do but be free and let your mind be free. you'll feel it in your head that it seems to be a feeling different of somewhat. hard to explain here but try it to see what im talking about. -
The mind.....
Gilbert replied to Gilbert's topic in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, and Grappling Martial Arts
the mind is real easy to distract. it can only concentrate on one thing. for instance. lets say you get assaulted by a criminal with a knife at your throat to handle your money. raise your hands up to make him believe your scared and surrendering. after that talk to him by saying stuff like "please man dont do this or say please i have my children over there or whatever." it will make him turn to the side and then do a technique. By talking to him you are making him soften up his grip on the knife. may sound kinda odd but it is very true. -
Kicks above the waist in a real fight?
Gilbert replied to longarm25's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
mad men? thats all they will be. I really dont know how many aikido practioners are in aikido but one has to be in aikido to understand. But either way anyone chooses what one wants and what one is good at. the absorbing thing i mentioned. is based on energy being used for the kick. If the kick is going at me at full speed on my left for instance...ill move with it and grab it and take it down and break the leg. (i dont know if i explained it well typing it) but anyways i didnt have to do much. not even a little force was used by me. -

a true ninja pracitioner who is really into it is a great figting person. There style uses mainly ripping tissues apart and focusing on organs and breaking. There is one technique they used I forgot the name of it. I think it is called taking the peach. where and opponent throws a jab and the ninja ducks on one knee while blocking and grabs the opponents sacks(if you know what i mean) and pulls em down. ouch. True Ninjas are skilled. -
Is Jackie Chan 5 thugs at a time possibble?
Gilbert replied to Taku-Shimazu's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Very possible indeed. Usually when your sorrounded there's always one who enters first even if they all rush at you at the same time...there's always one closer. In Aikido we practice defending ourselves with 3 or more attackers to get a feel and to know what to do. It's quite simple. Never find yourself trap in all of them always stay outside and make em bump each other and you'll start knocking out one by one or end up tying them up all together. i agree with wing chun being effective. it is. -
alright in this post you have to ask a question and another person will answer with a reasonable answer. Example: What did one house say to another House what's up homes

This forum is based on jokes...so why not post some jokes(stories with funny endings.) One time there was a very geeky guy. He always liked a girl until one time he went out with her. he took her to the prom and later went out to a hill for couples. He owned a real good looking car by the way. when they were there a bunch of bad kids(gangster, renegades,) went to him. they got him out of the car and with a rock drew a round circle on the dirt. they put him in the middle and said to him. you better not get out of this circle. they started beating up the car and his girl, then they turned to him and they saw him laughing. They got mad and said look at this guy laughing. so they took his car and threw it down the hill. Then looked at him and he was still laughing. So now they took his girl and threw her down the hill as well. And he was still laughing. so they go up to him and say hey we just crashed you car, threw your girl and your Laughing? then he said, nah its because i got out of the circle three times and you didnt see me.
