I injured my knee 6 years ago while training .. And I am still sufffering from it ...

How long have you been training in martial arts ?? What's ur primary style ?? What about your height & weight ?? You must tell us a little about urself first

So where did all those kicks came from in Jap. styles , & if Okinawan karate is smilar to Chinses systems then why don't they use all of the kung fu kicks , there is a wide range of kung fu kicks that you do not c in karate . & sinec korean TKD is originally based on shotokan , then it's impossible that Japanese karate has adopted korean kicks , beside karate kicks and TKD kicks are a little bit different !! Lots of questions

Thx for the reply guys , I should do the most obvious thing and check the local schools , and then when I settle down , I'll open my own dojo , It's just , I am not ready to be an instructor yet , I have the feeling that I am too young and I should have more tournaments experience . By the way Ivette , beeing a fighter dosen't mean that I don't know katas , beeing a fighter means that I stress tournament fighting more .

Well thats weird , according to the lineage tree on that website , Hwarang warriors moved to China and Japan and taught their style there . They claim that Jujitsu was developed from Hwarang system while it's almost undisputable that Jujitsu was influenced by Chinese styles , not Korean

LOL Eric_ , awsome man ....... marshmallow nunchakus ??? HAHAHAHAHA

You hvae a "things not to say to your instructor " thread in the humor & jokes section , right ?

Funny , when we compete in tournaments w don't feel the pain until next day , I mean , you step out of the ring bruised all over but you feel like nothing happened (knowing that your opponent was beating the hell out of you ) until you wake up the next day and you cant walk because of a leg injury

About my rank , I am nidan , but also I am 22 years old , I consider my self the fighter type of nidan , I am still a little bit young for being a head instructor , beside , I am not that good with politics , I think I should start a training group first to see how things would go before starting my own dojo . Also I am going to check the MT school

The special thing I had whenI got my BB is some a^^ kicking by my instructor and the senior black belts ,.. After that we had a little party but i have never NEVER slept with my BB

Hello I am moving to Sierra Leone soon , the company that I work with wants me to move to Sierra Leone branch , I will stay there for 3 or 4 years , I have no problem with that except for my martial arts training , you c , I have searched all over the web for karate ( any ) , judo , and MT schools there , all I could find is the address of two shotokan karate schools , one MT school and the email of a judo instructor , I feel that they have nothing much to offer (they have no website , no training schedule and the quality of the schools seems to be poor ) . I have no problem with that , my major problem is that I will have to drop my beloved kyokushin since they have none there , of course I can train alone but it would be nothing like dojo training , the good news is one of my coworkers used to be a kyokushin nidan & can train with him once in a while , the question is should I train alone and go to the local dojos just to spare ? is it worth starting a new style knowing that this new style has nothing much for me to offer ?? BTW : I don't really like shotokan - No offence - , and I prefer judo over Muay Thai but the quality of the school is my major concern

Welcome back

Strength is an undeniable factor .

Maybe because they ARE idiots ??

Tae Bo is cardio kickboxing

Lol . That ain't true for me since I have internet access at work

Completely freaky , they still are better than Base Organization , that's for sure .

I think what he meant by "player" is "practitioner" . Nonetheless , Karate is NOT a sport , it's a martial ART and a WAY OF LIFE , God.... I hate it when people start talking about karate as a sport , and what's next ? Cardio karate ?

Welcome Lasz . Nice to have another kyokushin member here

FIght more often

That is really between you and your sensei , but show him the certificate anyway .

not in point sparring , that is true for styles such as MT or KK .

Kodokan judo , simply because they don't tend to keep the fight on the ground

Without applying the application of kata with a partner , kata is useless

I never had a problem with MA , guess I am lucky
