Just relax and do your best Good luck on your test!

ouch no, I dont know if that would be very funny, but still would be neat to see, does anyone have a link to the scissor one?

Ah yes, I remember when that happend, I used to be an avid watcher of those knife shows, and that was reason enough for me to never purchase anything from them

well I dont practice shotokan but we stress kata very much in my school, almost as much if not more than kumite

yeah, most people dont make the connection between the two and thats cool, but if you can than thats cool too

how come?

its derived from kyokushin, our website is https://www.abkakarate.com lots of info there

my favorite is the hook kick roundhouse combo... works great in point sparring, and yeah timing is everything

It will get better, unfortunately there isnt much that can be done about the ribs, I have had mine cracked before, and I even have some bruised right now. I also have a tournament this saturday and its gonna be rough with bruised ribs, cracked ones would be pretty hardcore. You might want to not fight and hopefully you'll feel well enough to do at least your kata, if not then I wouldnt try to push it, you might cause further injury

hmm, we just get our gi's embroidered ourselves at an embroidery shop, we have one that has the kanji on file... costs about 8 bucks,

Try holding onto a chair at first, then when you feel more comfortable take the chair away

I study Bushido-Kai, its basically Kyokushin but with a Christian twist, and that is part of why it turns me on, I think it builds a stronger Christian as well as martial artist. http://abkakarate.org/ (our website) dunno makes sense to me
