try looking up some really talented martial artists, and use them as your motivation. try feeling like that they are what you have to achieve, watch clips and movies with them, and try and learn some of their skills. or you could try some gymnastics, and learn handsprings and backflips, and try some extreme martial arts, its usually more fun to learn and do.

jake strickland will be making his debut in the next jackie chan movie. (thanks to regis and kelly)

I saw on regis and kelly live a little while ago, this 12 or 13 year old kid Jake Strickland was doing a weapons demonstration with the bo staff, he was amazing, check out his website... https://www.jakestrickland.com ...i wonder what he studys.

whats the difference between okinawan and shokotan anyone?

what is Shorin-Ji Kobudo??

MY master is a 2nd degree blackbelt.. and he trains us a few times a week.. ive been in it a while and we havent been doing anything to do with weapons.. do all 2nd degree blackbelts have to have training with weapons?? i want to learn bo staff techniques.

im doing shotokan karate.

white belt shokotan karate. im new to this stuff.. though im only 15.. i want to learn to do flips and things. i doubt it will happen. i doubt my master knows how.

My master is a 2nd degree black belt andknows alot about karate... i want to know does every blackbelt know how to do handsprings and flips and things?? because i really want to learn them but im not sure he knows how to teach me.. and i would feel stupid if i asked andhe didnt know.

i just started a while ago.. im still a white belt.

My master is 2nd degree blackbelt, im just wondering does everyone know how to do flips and everything when they are a black belt? or do only certain people learn. i really want to learn thing like back handsprings.. but im not sure if my master can teach me. does anyone here have any information?

MY master makes us do pushups before we can begin.. he usually instructs us to do alot but i cant even do 2.. can anyone help on how i could build up my muscles really fast to be able to do alot of them ??

thanks! these are great!!! .. but how do you say "yes" because my master makes us say it when we bow and i forget.. and does anyone know what "skeet" means?? my master says it after we meditate.. and i dont know what it means.. thanks!!!

I just joined karate here at a little dojo a little while ago, im al white belt and my Master is always asking us questions.. and i almost always know the answers but i pronounce them wrong and feel stupid.. so how do you pronounce karate words.. anything can help! :D
