Hi, unless you tried already try to see how much situps/pushups you can do in one minute without stopping. then try to see how many situps/pushups in a row without a set time. this is great for your motivation. anyway i was wondering how much of each everyone here can do. Me: situps in one minute: 59 situps: 110 Pushups in one minute:39 (yes its very sad...) push ups: 45 (sad....) whats urs?

About what time do you usually train(not when you go to your dojo but when you train by yourself). i usually do it at 7:00 p.m. usually after homework.

hi congradulations im sure there are other ways but the only way i can think of is continuely practice jabbing with your left hand and everyday increase it by 5-10.

hi kensai can you explain that is if there is anything to explain? i always thought good and evil was just a concept humans have. in the big picture there isn't such a thing. thanks..

its nothing to worry about. it should develop over time i think.

it means nothing. there is no such thing as good or evil if you think about it.

i meant more of a wing chun looking fight but i guess that doesnt matter much either...

welcome to karateforums.

emin is so much younger then willian cheung.. looks more like a brawl then an actual fight.

Yes kyokushin has katas but I heard they were different from traditional ones. Like no low stances. And they are called fighting kata.. or something and will help you in fighting a lot compared to traditional katas(from what ive read).

Yes there is a spiritual side to hapkido. I don't take kyokushin personally, but it's known as one of the toughest karate styles.

Oh so from the examples you gave me it sounds like combat arts are the kind that focuses a lot on sparring and not really on spiritual stuff. Then yeah I agree with Thai_Kick I wouldn't consider hapkido a combative art.

Um exactly what is the definition of a combative art..?

hiya

i read judo gis are made in much better quality then karate gis.

Hiya sayz welcome

ooh cool. im gonna get one the list one day.

most little kids are annoying... I don't feel comfortable in the same class as them. I doubt they do either. Think about training with someone that is 5 ft taller then you.

i hear karate focuses more on kata and not much fighting or conditioning. i suppose it really depends on the dojo though. if your goal is to be able to fight and beat other styles, may i suggest muay thai or BJJ?

it was a-ok. some parts were funny.

you wont like to hear this.. but go watch each class. once you're done watching the classes and you still can't pick you should probably ask the forums about it. i think this would be the best idea.

hey i think thats great. have fun.

Well if he is studying COLLEGE math at 10 why not a 5th degree? It's almost freaky. College math? Jeez this kid is smarter then me. And his body doesn't seem "right" for a 10 year old. But yeah he is gifted.

Try doing those hacky sack things. You can buy them but what I do is cut a sock, put uncooked rice in it. Then tie it up and tape it with duct tape. Then toss it straight into the air, and as it comes down don't let it touch the floor. Instead hit it with the inside part of your foot. Keep doing that. It's harder then it sounds at first but you should get better.

yes that sounds like a good mix.
