I dont have aproblem with Hackers in general, but little script kiddies annoy the hell otu of me, but im not going to get into a discussion about that,. Back on topic, is anyone already looking forward to seeing MK 3?

Yeah exactly - would be good not to - so u can see real MA, but then again , most people would look at it and be like "What the .....?! - where are all the flips, etc."

Lol, still she might just be like that - dont take it personally, i know plenty of people that make little comments like that...

But that's also about surprise - if they dont know you do MA, you have the advantage of surprise.

Like shooting beams from their eyes Seriously, that sort of attitude can be slowly turned ronud to a real love of the martial arts.

I wouldnt say good patterns practitioners are good at sparring as a rule, just that good students are good at both...... if u see what i mean.

I was just debating the point - it was largely irrelevant to ur problems sorry What you can do is multiple short sprints that cna help improve endurance.... just have a look at "sprint training" on google - its a bit of a fad at the moment... but its worth a look.

You can test for BB at any age with us, however ur grading time between 1st and 2nd dan [normally 2 years] is doubled... so unless u get ur BB REALLY young, u generally dont make it to 2nd dan that early on.

She has multiple belts remember - might that count for something?

Lol - im probably onthis forum a bit more than most other than Menjo at least.... but i know what u mean about training all the time, Always thinking about MAs, i mean in honesty i thnik most of us would agree we're slightly obsessed with MA, so i guess its on our minds alot.... practicing in our heads

I just remeber one guy in the corner taking a kick to teh side of the head [while standing] and just goign down.

I think like most people have said - there are many forums for JJ practitioners to compete in, therefore would taking it to the Olympics add anything to it?

Well a bit of a simplistic explanation. but i guess accurate in some degrees. I'd agree taht for SD i'd personally go for JuJitsu

damn - dragonball Z was lying . hehe. So what's the general consensus? Muscle building can restrict Ki?

Ok - can somone clarify the TECHNICAL difference between bio-electricity and electricity itself? As a physicist I'm at a loss to understand the difference between these two thigns, and why I keep reading about bio-electricity and how it relates to Chi / Ki. Anything you can do to explain this is greatly appreciated.

Fair enough i pay £25 a month for my TKD.... and do loads of hours.... Go round and visit a couple of other places taht do it , if they're available... otherwise i guess its just about whether you cna justify the spend or not.

Tae Kwon Do Traditional: Similar to many striking arts, uses kicks to a greater extent, large separation between practice of Poomse [patterns] and sparring. Some schools train more for self-defense and so will engage in full-contact trainign, with some grappling brought in - but rarely to any advanced degree. Majority of schools neglect grappling and ground work.

Ah right..... try and draw him into a pattern..... if you're not that much of an advanced sparer compared to him, he may not recognize its on purpose..... then use the pattern to an advantage. Or - practice sparring in a mirror and / or video tape it, and look for thigns that might be telegraphing your moves [shoulder movements, maybe pulling a certain face] then work on takign these out.

And also - the right training methods are used..... so long as you train in the right way and approach the training with a goal of competing in mind, then many arts can be effective.

Splinter Do - the art of being a rat.... and teaching people who do Ninja Turtle Do

about girl MAists in the Uk.... dont know whether there are more here than in US.... but we're about 50:50 in our classes girl and guys

I DO I DO!!!!! HEHE I used to have a pet rabbit Back on topic.... i bird fell out of the sky well i was praciticing in my garden

or something else Wasnt paying attention when i was sparring my instructor ... .caught a side kick inteh chest and got propelled acroso the room and knocked someone over.

Man walks into a bar with his pet gator.... "hey do u serve lawyers?"... barman: "sure": bloke : "alright, ill have apint, and a lawyer for my gator".... This may have come up before

You should have karated him to death hehe.....
