But I have no place to learn it where I live...... any suggestions?

I basically know all kicks,and hand strikes, some pins, and throws and thats it...... I will need someone to teach me anything else...but until then I will stick with what I know.

One thing I would like to recommend is that if you have just been learning techniques and not the concepts behind them, then you should re-evaluate your training. Yes, techniques are important, it is how you apply a concept to a combat situation. However, the principle behind it is more important. If you know the principle behind it, then you can improvise your techniques to an almost infinite number of combinations, all you have to do is keep your contact and energy with the opponent. Experiment with a willing partner (do techniques correctly but don't hurt him or her) and ask your teacher for advice.

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but are you a shodan or higher? This isn't questioning your skill, but it is rather suggesting that maybe your teacher recognizes that you have learned these techniques well, and now your teacher wants you to "take the extra step" and start LEARNING rather than COPYING.

 

If I am totally off the mark, please let me know. If you are simply interested in learning different techniques from other styles because you want a different perspective of common martial arts principles, then email me from my profile (I'd prefer my real one, not a forum message) and I'd love to talk more in detail...but keep in mind, it is much harder to explain techniques in print than in person...

The only teacher I ever had was before I moved to SC. When my father was in the Air Force we moved around a lot so I could never stay in one place. Anyways I learned the MA from a friend named David. He tought me for two years before I moved from North Dakota down to SC. I have been on my own in training ever since. So in reality I have no real instructor. Soon however I hope to be joining a TKD Dojang and then I will have an instructor. I hope that clears up a lot. I cannot really tell what belt I hold. I had the skill of a blue belt when I left ND and its been two years since then so.....you guys be the judge on my skill level.

I am from Okinawa but I currently live in South Carolina.

I am training myself which has taken lots of time.....I have learned all tecniques up to black belt but nno matter where I look I cannot find any combos at all nor have I found any tecniques that are past black belt status. You know moves and combos that are taught after first dan and up? if any of you know please show me in some form whether by here, PM or e-mail. My email address is savage_crow2004@yahoo.com. I know its a wierd name but I had to make one up cause all my other ideas were taken..... all help is appreciated and excepted.
