Yes, because TKD is Korean, which is Asian and Judo is Japanese which is Asian. Fencing is not Asian unless it is Kendo, which is Japanese fencing. Yes, I have. Then by this definition, using guns is a martial art.

Could someone please tell me about Jeet Kune Do? I really know nothing about it, and I would like to learn its origin, strong points, weak points, goals, and what they train most. Thanks in advance

Well, I know of people using crowbars and baseball bats and street knives, but I don't think I know of anyone whipping out their sai and beating people down with it.

Good job. Makiwaraman- he said it's 8th

I thought a martial art has to be eastern.

I expected there were more dog owners on KF

light to moderately hard contact rules are to keep going until yame is called

Answer the poll question and tell me about your dog... breed, gender, etc. I like large dogs... I own a rough collie (yes, she looks like Lassie)

Or it could be a total McDojo

Hello, Joel, enjoy the forums.

do you know if its a classical guitar?

Woo-hoo! Congratulations!!!!! Good work

Welcome to KF, enjoy the forums.

Monkeygirl is right. I started with a 3/4 size nylon. I then got a Fender elec, then another classical (full size) and then my Gibson steel string.

Are judo gi and karate gi sized the same way? I need a judo gi, (starting, hopefully in September) and I would like to know if they are sized the same way? Can you give me a link for a sizing chart, or are they exactly the same?

I agree. 5 years is ideal, 3 is the bare minimum.

I don't know oz, but I know I drink about 3 cups of milk a day (approx.) and I don't feel like caluculating, lol

Oh, and did I mention that he's been doing this to adults too?

That will happen.

Well, my dad's been talking about it for a while. It is expensive, but we've been talking about it for probably years. He got it so I can play at his band'a jam session. Plus, I do perform often, and all I had were nylon and an electric. Maybe I am a bit spoiled, lol

Push down hard on the strings. It takes a few weeks or more to get the muscles developed, but once you get it, I promise you, it will be easy and you will have to try hard to do it wrong.
