it looks good, but what's the point to it?

well besides kalarippayat theres some type of Indian wrestling being practiced there. Theres more than this, its just that theyre not as popoular as asian arts.

"its all in the Katas." good quote

I know he did wing-chun, but a lot of the stuff he did in his movies doesn't look like wing chun.

so the two are starting to merge?

lol, anytime

I think u mean "return of the dragon" I saw it yesterday

think about what?

yes, but anystyle can hurt u aswell.

exactly! I think you just get this from watching way too many movies homeboy

that's right, weed out all the useless stuff like jkd

I've seen 40 somethings act childish before too

So Do I. At school when In dont want some of my friends to hear I talk to my other friend in Espanol(Spanish)lol. it's spelled español not espanol homeboy

yep , it goes into my top ten gung fu lists

I wouldn'tsay he doesn't have anything to work with yet, but he should of gone with someone with less experience tha a black belt

then i guess i have to cut down on drinking soda and froot loops

sounds like something I would like to train in, but I guess it's too much for a lot of Americans since don't have much karate schools like that.

San Soo is straight up combat, not sport (even in roughest forms as MMA, etc.), and not even self-defense. Kempo (I'm using the 'm' on purpose so it can be taken as either American Kenpo, Hawaiian Kempo, or Shaolin Kempo), is more self-defense. Drawback to San Soo for the street is you don't always want to maim or kill an opponent, but advantage is you'll probably live though the attack. A lesser drawback of San Soo as I learned it is the number of preset techniques (combinations) is few-to-none, so you're relying on 'lower' brain (or instinct) to come up with the right thing at the right time. so what makes san soo so tough? Isn't "straight up combat" and self defense the same thing?

thanks for clearing it up

harmoniouswarrior This is not traditional HKD....no high kicks in traditional HKD, we have four kicks, front snap, roundhouse (turning kick in TKD), side and back, all aimed at the lower body and groin. I ask what is a cresent kick.....but am afraid of the answer!! a cresent kick is when u swing your leg in a circular motion from either the inside outside towards the head of your opponent.It looks nice, but it's hard to pull it off without it being noticed.

sounds kind of like the history of korean martial arts.It said that Korea was going through a period that arts and crafts were important so they took care of their hands and fought with mostly feet.

sorry i didn't know that, but it sounds good . Is it just your dojo or all kyokushinkai dojos?

"But certainly there's nothing wrong with starting your own style - people have been doing it in Asia since martial arts began!" yeah, but nowadays it's mostly wannabes making their own systems.

hmm, gotcha

is daikojuku all that hardcore as it seems or wut?
