Medium contact is good , but if "your not worried aobut getting your head knocked off " you may develop a bad habit of not defending

Cool !!!

I never failed in a grading test , but some guys i know did , there is nothing wrong with , it was just bad luck , and as for shotochem , i think you must retest , i know that BB as not the ultimate goal , but why not wearing it while people who don't deserve it are allready BB?? plus , black belt means that you are an "advanced beginner"

I have never payed attention to that point , you're right !!!!!!! A guy died last month in a soccer match , so I guess accidents happen

I don't kids must play games while training .

there is a describation of karate , taekwondo , muay thai , and kyokushin roundhouses in that page , you must scroll down a li'l bit to find the image describing those roundhouses http://www.kyokushinmail.com/koya/KickInstruction.htm [/img]

Welcome , what kyokushin group do you belong to ?

We have three @ our school

We have one at our school , and I am planing to convice sensei to install two other makiwaras

Being dead is cooler , they put you in a freezer for at least a week

Unfortunatl , we had nothing but judo @ my university , not that judo isn't great , but I wanted to train in karate (with judo ) And it wasn't free

Just keep your distance and don't target the face , low kick him insted

I agree with Zaine. 1st comes control, then comes speed, then power. Its better off learning correct technique then working on the power. In my opinion that is, im no expert. Power as in power while performing techniques , not power as in brute force !! If you are fighting to knock down your opponent , then power comes in the first place , if ur techniques lack power then you won't be able to knock down no matter how much control you have I guess elbows_and_knees explained my point of view correctly , thx pal

less than 1% of the world population train (or have trained ) in martial arts and 90% of them never make it to black belt So we - black belt holders - are the best of the best

Yes , but it's just IKO1 that is promoting and participating in k-1 kickboxing events , the other IKOs have not changed their ways yet ( & I hope they never do ) , some of the kyokushin offshoots have become pure kickboxing or MMA while other offshoots are still pure karate , I guess it's all up to "the kancho"

lol, at least it might improve your grip somehow Lol .. dosen't seem like he needs to , White Warlock =perfect poster

Someone told me once that a black belt is considered equal to a weapon by law , and if you beat someone up and the police knew that you have a black belt , they consider it equal to beating him with a stick or a baseball bat I doubt it though

Lol , sounds wierd , right ??

If the very competant okinawan karateka has a weapon of any kind , then their chances are somehow equal , if that same karateka is facing a very competant samurai , I would give it to the samurai , don't forget that samurai also trained in jujutsu so the karate factor is not that important

Actually , I blocked hi mawashi geri by a front kick , I was targetting his shin but I missed and hit his knee insted

Yes , I agree , I am not willing to risk my life just to prove weither the "counter gun" technique is usefull

Look @ the body and strike , strike . strike .. Never stop

Or to fight us inside

Hello DarkDragon , nice user name

My sensei put me in charge of the junior class ( as a matter of fact , he forced me ) , and thats how i started to learn how to instruct , I am still a student at my style , I am not willing to be a full time instructor untill I stop fighting in tournaments , & i wouldn't recommand that someone starts instructing b4 he gets the tournaments fighting knowledge
