so have I ,but not in a real life situation

creatine also helps you in your cardiovascular conditioning,not just muscle/strength.With that said you can last a longer time without getting exhausted and get a leaner body.

you guys have been saying that adrenaline saps your energy,right?Well when you have an adrenaline rush don't you get more energy and strength?

a lot of karate styles are based off kung fu,is shorin ryu based of northern shaolin or some other kung fu style?Also I thought that shorinji kempo was the art based off shaolin?

woa that guy sure knows his karate,I bet he's a black belt

I guess youre a big star wars fan,theres nothing wrong with that

aren't there some styles that emphasize stand up grappling?

yeah that's safer than trying to disarm a person with your hands

gotcha

well when I'm really warmed up and stretched,I come somewhat close to doing a splits kick when I do a side kick.

that was what I asked in the beggining.

that was deep,except when you started talking about star wars.

just curious,do you guys use arial kicks when sparring?

well first you need to make sure the school that you study tai chi at , teaches the combat aspect also

I din't know bouncers were allowed t carry weapons on them

"you aren't allowed to take bottles into the street (beale street) and they clean the street daily, so there's really nothing on it at most given times" well you do have keys and possibly a pen

brazilian or japanese?

I didn't know my hometown had any shorin ryu dojos?

so muay thai is the stuff that is being used in mma and kickboxing fights?

well I have mortal kombat on ps2 but I feel that tekken is a more fun game to play.

I think a front kick is better than either of those kicks,because it's quick and painfull

that was a good post,but why would you want to go to a school with no sparring?

Type of the uniform. Try tournament cut (shorter sleeves and pantlegs) next. You can also take your do-gi to a local seamstress and get it fixed to your prefered length. hmm good advice,thanks.I might just do the seamstress thing because it's still good for a while.

that's pretty much what I've heard,except that some have more emphasis on sticks,others on blades,and some on empty hand techniques.
