Your best bet is to attend a Benny Hinn concert, they back flip all the time. By the way, how does a back flip work in a real fight?

Mind over matter ... hmmmm ... What the mindsays (enduring the difficulty of brutal pain) doesn't matter

You would need to read his manuals indepth. I cannot explain all the scientific justification for his methods here. Emanait goes into great lengths to explain his systems and its all based on up to date research. Just as every form of sport training has advanced in the last 30 years so too has fighting system training methods.

Our school is 60/40 However I dont like the stance at all and feel its impractical as a fighting stance.

Would that kick be a front kick?? What about for a round house? I have ankle weihts. But i heard those could injure you. I think they are 2.5lbs ot 3lbs. You can use the same processes for any kick. I found ankle weights and kicking puts un-necessary stress on my knee joints.

My philosophy is that seeing it is illegal for me to carry weapons on the street its a waste of my time studying them .... for me. I realise some derive benefits from them but personally I would rather spend my time practising Karate

Many fighters suffer from a lack of stamina in fights and this is because they have not developed their anaerobic system. All too often in MA and boxing they train mainly in aerobic conditioning when the art/sport actually has anaerobic needs. They need to study how to develop anaerobic threshold. There are many exercises you can do to develop this area. For example: Sprinting Squat jumps Burpees Medicine ball exercises Plyometric exercises in general. The eminent boxing coach and athlete Ross Enamait has written on this extensively and has several training manuals one can buy.

It will take some time to organise. I have to do this inbetween everything else I am doing. I will get it done, so I would appreciate your patience... thanks

It will be at least 2 hours

"keep and gain interest in my school" Hmmmmm

yes I know, but thats not the issue

Its not about bigger muscles, its about stronger muscles

That is mp3 friend

I chose my school, which is a derivative of Shotokan, because: The head teacher is the highest skilled and highest ranking Karate-Ka in our country Its brutally hard training - army boot camp style. Wimps need not apply Its hard style and prepares you well for the street and life At the time, the top student was our countries undefeated champ 5 years in a row so I was suitably impressed They are fanatical about neatness of technique and having proper form The way they train, they put a lot of emphasis on power and focus with no flowery techniques They put even emphasis of basics, kata and kumite They students I looked at, at the time were, all well skilled for their grades. There motto in advertising was "no gimmicks, only hard training". They promote high discipline, respect for other people, and persistance Its no non-sense training that is very practical Its taught exactly how it is in Japan, to the "letter" Your grades are registered in Japan It was close to my home also It has a tremendous reputation And my parents were paying the bill

Hmmmm no one likes busting heads? LOL

Its interesting to note that of all the Karate masters in history, Egami is the only one that I know of, that made those claims about using a makiwara. I am extremely skeptical of his claim that people who use a makiwara have ineffective punches. "I many times found people with calloused fists due to makiwara training, where the first knuckles were covered with a black thick hard covering as a heel. They were terrible hands to look at but when I asked them to hit me, their blows were not effective. These experiences made me distrust the makiwara". - Egami Boxers dont use a makiwara and yet knock people to the ground with gloves on.

Hmmm probably about 150 megs. Audio is not small

Me tinks the thread is about the kata Chinte

Did anyone see that program on the National Geographic channel recently called: "Myth and Logic of Kung Fu" It was about the Shaolin Temple training in mainland China I saw it and wasnt impressed at all. They kept going on about how many hours per day they do certain techniques etc and I lost count at 19 hours. No one trains that much. In watching the techniques and forms I have to question the effectiveness and practicality of it in real combat. I can see what Bruce Lee meant when he referred to some traditional martial arts as "a classical mess". My "question" comes about from the use of certain flips, jumps, stances, and striking techniques that werent employed "in that documentary". Certainly to someone that has never done any form of MA or boxing etc, it looks very impressive. I also object to the statement made it it "You cannot become a master of the martial arts, unless you also master buddism". It seemed to me that the documentary, scripted by a Chinese person, endeavoured to promote a shroud of mystery over the art and that there was some big internal secret that could only be revealed by practising this art and the philosophy of buddism.

In our school to be an instructor you must: 1. Be minimum of 3rd Dan 2. Have a first aid and CPR certificate 3. Have undertaken 6 months as an assistant instructor 4. Attended instructors training and meetings for 6 months

Bruce Lee started training at age 14 and dazzled the martial arts world at age 23 - 9 years training Ankichi Aragaki was considered at master at age 28. Training years not know off hand Mike Tyson started boxing at age 14 and was world heavy weight champ at age 20 - 6 years training Mohumed Ali became heavy weight champ after 10 years of training. Its seems with the right training, you can become outstanding between 6 and 20 years

Its long been proved that proper weight training combined with plyometric training (complex training) will boost the power output of punchs and kicks. To get slightly scientific about this, one needs to develop the fast twitch muscle fibres used in a specific technique. One needs functional strength to move a muscle at speed and power. I am talking about functional strength and not the type of strength in slowly lifting a heavy weight. To master a kick takes many things. Assuming you are correctly performing the technique there are several things you can do. First you need to develop explosive power in all of the muscles involved in the kick. Doing exercises like squats, burpess, star jumps and squat jumps will help build the muscles in an explosive way to train those fast twitch muscle fibres. You can perform a sequence like this: 10 squats with weights 20 body weight squats followed by the kick 20 star jumps 20 squat jumps As one set, then repeat for as many sets as you are physically able to do. Rest 1-2 minutes between sets. You can adjust the reps to suit your physical condition. In addition to this practise half the kick.. the first half... the knee lift. Also known as Hiza Geri.. knee kick. When doing this, do it in intervals. Go for one minute as fast as you possibly can, lifting the knee as high as you can. Then rest 1 minute then repeat. Then emphasis here is on speed not endurance. Do as many sets as you can per leg. Getting the knee up as fast as possible is critical to an effective kick. Then perform the same formula doing the second half of the kick from the knee lift to full extention. In other words what you are doing here is breaking the kick down into components and building each component separately. Again work in intervals as fast as you can and then rest. Quality of speed and power here is more important than quantity. Many people do hundreds of kicks at a slow (slower) pace and thats fine for endurance, but you need to teach your muscles, namely the fast twitch muscle fibres, to do what you want then to do. Bag work. Bag work is very important to building power. Perform the same exercises decribed above but this time hitting the bag. Remember with kicks that the power comes from thrusting the hips forward whilst the kick is reaching its pinnacle. Often a lack of power in kicks comes from not using the hips properly. When you kick the bag make sure you are thrusting your hips into the kick correctly. Boots. Get some heavy boots and practise your kicks in the methods described above. If you need some scientific data to understand why you need to work your muscles this way buy the book: "Science of Sports Training" http://www.stadion.com/science.html

You are asking if that is too much? You haven't detailed exactly what you do on those days, however there are 3 issues: 1. Under training - never any pain or soreness 2. Correct training - tolerable levels of pain and soreness 3. Over training - intolerable levels of pain and soreness Where is your current training putting you in those three categories?
