So it seems that no one is agreeing with my last post...Well thats okay...Each person has his/her own philosophies of combat I must admit that CloudDragon and longarm25 have interesting arguments and very good points I can agree that Adrenneline is your ally, however I still say that fear is not...You can have Adrenneline without haveing fear!!! ...I still have to say that fear causes you to think to much in a fight! It's best to have as little thought as possible...Like I said in my last post, Flow with wehatever may happened...let nature make it's course...Empty your mind, be formless... like water The ultimate skill is to truly express yourself in combat...I think fear keeps you from achieving that...But I agree...Adrenneline is definately your ally.

Fear is your worst enemy...It holds you back from truly expressing yourself in a fight! The only thing I have ever been afraid of in a fight is hurting my opponet too much...You can't think like that in a fight though...You can't hold back, but at the same time you can't completely annihilate your opponet! The ultimate skill to achieve is to fight without thoughts ...Flow with wehatever may happened...let nature make it's course...Empty your mind, be formless... like water ...People who have fear have too much thought....Don't think just do Empty your mind of all unnecessary thought...and you shall feel no fear!

I think you hit the nail on the head ... "Only by learning do we discover how ignorant we are" -chinese proverb You will never know EVERYTHING there is to know... that is the most important thing you can ever understand ......even black belts are ignorant

Whoa Tom is here ...It's really great to have you here...Hopefully I won't feel quite so wierd now...you know...not knowing anybody...yeah I am thinking of creating some threads here that are on anipike...like some of the word games ...so yeah that should be fun! Oh! and Tom...I would love to help you with your chess game...feel free to pm me anytime about it..either here or at the pike... Thanks to everybody else who has welcomed me

Why don't you just...take both of the classes? ...That way you could take the muay thai and JKD, in one class....then you could go to the other class and do all of the sparring and stuff that you want... If you have to chose between the two then I would stick with the class that your already in...It sounds like it offers alot more ...Muay Thai and JKD...and then in 18 months, when you are allowed to spar you won't be regretting sticking to it...Patience is the greatest power one can posses^^...or one of the greatest anyway... Good luck

Wow! I am so jealous ...I have always wanted to go to a martial arts tournament...I would give anything to participate in one.....but we don't have things like that around here Well I really really hope that you have a great time ...I agree with the majority here...just relax and enjoy the ride...Don't be so concerned with winning I am sure you will do great .... It is very obvious to me that you are very passionate with martial arts...That is great because that passion gives you more power than anything else....Remember that one okay^^

Yeah I can't help but to smile while I am in a fight ...I just get so excited..and I think it gives me an advantage over my opponet...They are intimidated by me because I am smiling, laughing, bouncing around and having a good time, but at the same time I am serious, and extreamly focused ....People say that it feels as if they are fighting two different people at once when fighting me~_^...one being a crazy happy dude that is obviously enjoying the beating he is giving his opponet, and the other being a crazy, dark, cold, serios fighter...a fighter with a stare that sends cold shivers down your spine...So yeah...Whatever works for you...Personally I think smiling and laughing helps you, but maybe thats just me......

Well I actually prefer using my mind and body as weaopns...Ones mind, body, and spirit...everything that makes up ones being is truly the best weapon there is But I reall really like swords alot ...And I love the Bow, and staff, and I am a fan of the nunchaku

solar_kid: Thanks for welcoming me to the forum ...Ahh so there are threads dedicated to self training? I will have to check those out sometime^_^...Yeah I would love spending time in a dojo, but there aren't any around here About the whole chess thing...I have been playing for a few years...I am the top ranked player in the school ... And I have actually played the top rank player under the age of 18 in the state...I came so close to winning, but in the end he got me ...So if you ever want any tips on the game just send me a PM...I would love to help you foreveryoung001: Thanks for welcoming me to the forum^^...Yes Japanese animation is very unique and can be interesting to watch from time to time...Well for me it's interesting all of the time ...I love anime...Couldn't live without it About that whole searching for love thing...I am only 16...So it's true that I still have a long way to go before I should really worry about it....The thing is...I may only be 16, but I have experienced more things in this life related to love than the average person would in 200 years....so yeah...Thanks for wishing me luck gheinisch: Thanks for welcoming me to the forum^_^

Okay...To answer the first question on the thread...Yes Kung Fu is a form of martial arts ...It refers to the Chinese way of fighting...In other words Kung Fu is just a Chinese art...or rather THE Chinese art ....You see...Kung Fu isn't a single form of martial arts, rather it is an entire martial arts in itselfO.o...It is a genre of martial arts that consist of many different types... Now I have a question for you people out there ...Isn't Kung Fu actually...Gung Fu?...I believe that it was originally spelled and pronounced Gung Fu instead of Kung Fu ......But I could be wrong *sweatdrop*

Music is a passion of mine, and I can't stand to go a day without listening to some ...I love anykind of music except for Rap My favorite kinds of music are:...Classical/Newage, Techno, and J-pop(japanese music)...I also like old classic rock and roll...and Alternative rock, and I even listen to some heavy metal from time to time^_^

Well its true....I am a nebie*sweatdrop* My name is Wesley ...I am 16 years old and I have been training in martial arts since I was about 9...I haven't taken that many lessons I just mainly train myself ....Don't get me wrong I have taken some lessons, and I watch alot of training videos and stuff like that, but for the most part I just train myself.....One day I hope to invent my own form of martial arts I love watching anime...I am a member of an anime forum somewhat similar to this one.....Anybody out there enjoy Japanese animation as much as I do?...Some of my favorites include...Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Kenshin, DBZ, Yuyu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Hellsing, 3x3 Eyes, and Fushigi Yugi....I could go on...I love them all I guess... Umm......I am fascinated with philosophy, and Mythology...stuff like that.....I am a seeker of truth and love...forever searching for that one special person which it seems I can never find Lets see...what else can I say?...I play the guitar ...Thats the only thing I have stuck with longer than martial arts...I have been playing since I was 7...I am also an Artist!...Not a very good one though*sweatdrop* ....Oh!
