whichever one you enjoy the most... like people have said that seems relatively evident from your posts

actually good point if its good and free i might have to move house over there

So long as your letting it out in a controlled way and not directed at anyone in particular i dont see the problem, martial arts is a great de-stressor for a lot of its practitioners.

yeah, like i always say a lot of powerful striking techniques need to be broken down into the speed section and a power section.... as with a lot of them practicing both can cause some nasty damage.

wow thanks hehe multicoloured belt.

i think thats a bit of a leap of logic there..... depends on your reasons for walking away...

if you have correct conditioning - its shouldnt be a HUGE problem.... will probably hurt.... but then again the conditioning for fingertips can take AGEs

depends on why you train - to fight? or for personal development?!! so long asyou're getting what u want outfo the training then thats all that matters

im actually off to london - but thanks for the post ill checkthem out!

the idea was to assume all other things are equal.... but yes i agree generallya fight / sd situation is to chaotic to predict accurately who would win

yes but teh training methods can be applied to any style....

i dont think there's any sparring or anything like that is there?

it wont make a big difference - think about it..... when ur 50 youll have been training 32 years compared to 45 years - proportionately there not a huge difference.

yeah good luck with your training. glad to hear you found something good!

although you have to admit as with all MAs there are those that give it a bad name.....

welcome to KF

yeah fair points - i was just jokin about having a life.... i was mainly wondering if everyone else sometimes goes on little posting sprees.

just realised this month i made 824 posts..... question is : is that a bit obsessive? do i have a life? sorry didnt even realise i was making that many.... just interested if any of you guys go on blitzes?

funny:D

then get up adn get pounded back down... still smiling hehe

no we dont say stellar. lol not unless referring to interstellar... we're all too proper over here lol! its not in common use though.

good luck with it!

the requirement to have it depends on where you train, state / coutnry laws and if you're renting a place then they might insist as well.

i have to agree -b ut it apples to all students as well.

muay thai is good as you mention you think your tough..... MT may change your perspecitve on what "tough" is ....
