don't know, but wearing all that weight can't be good on the knees !!!

face front and three chudan uke's walking

i agree,but what i'm saying in the latter part is i feel more confident in myself in my opinion... it comes down to the indervidiual i suppose.Please take note i'm not putting boxing down i used to enjoy doing it,and i still love watching it..it is a tough sport.

a big friendly welcome

Do you guys know of any karate camps in england or europe happeng ?

a good book i read was "Roaring silence" by michael clark

At our class there are a few adults in there late 50's. Our head sensei is in his sixties ,and i agree they are very fit for there age.better than some in there twentys..

this debate is getting quite intresting.You have to remember karate has suprise,sneeky moves,for example apponant sees you going high but your really going low.false moves like faking a punch so you can sweep apponant.i'm not excusing boxing as a tough sport, i myself boxed for a number of years,but i think i'm more confident on the street knowing the defence and counter i know from what i study now.

surely if fighting a boxer.any karate-ka could sweep his legs,smash his knee/groin/ankle etc etc the boxer would be knackerd as he is only trained in stance fighting,not grappling ground work etc...

turn left mai geri snap right foot

Hi, try watching fist of fury the bruce lee film.there is a good nunchacku scene in it,but you have to watch iy in slow motion.You then could copy the basic moves.you have to get the uncut version of the film though. hope it helps. regards

you say "why are you breathing heavy" you mean "why isnt he getting tierd" you say" i'm alright" you mean" i'm knackerd"

Hi guys. any-body wanting to give up their books on shukokai please inform me as i am intrested.I'll pay postage etc. cheers

I got into an arguement the other day where my friend likes watching boxing,and his comment was if the two karate & boxing met , boxing would win.I begger to disagree with him,as boxing has to many rules . Am i right or wrong,am i biased because i study i]karate[/i] . what's your view ?

it is the first two knuckles in my style to condition them we do press-ups on the two knuckles during warm up.

in my opinion tkd looses hands down to karate , as tkd is a lot of areial work which is no good on the streets but looks good on camera. As for karate which focus a lot of power / full contact / etc. ( 1 strike 1 kill )
