man thing

Hello. I might be moving to Myrtle Beach soon. Are there any good schools around? I'm looking for bjj, catch wrestling, greco, or I would look into trying kajukenbo, or kenpo, or kyokushin, or something. Thanks.

thanks, found a bunch of stuff

where can I compete at around SC within the next few months? is there a good online directory for upcoming events?

What's cauliflower ear? Should everybody in grappling wear head gear?

Spirit At Choice: Ever heard of the Bao Way? I believe thats what its called. Sensei Bao introduced it to us at a Cuong Nhu meeting in Chatanooga: its a series of videos that deals with such subjects. They seemed to be very well-made, with maybe some influence from ju-jitsu.

I've never been insured before. I don't really know where to start.

I appreciate the responses. Well, the pain lasted about a week. I didn't miss much of my training, just a little, and now I feel back to normal almost. Thank God. I would have went to a doctor, but I don't have any insurance. That might be something to look into.

What would a typical class consist of? A lot of sparring or more forms? What kind of conditioning would be required?

Well dang, that decides that for me, haha. Thanks for the info.

Anybody know about chinese boxing? What is their training like compared to western boxing, their techniques, etc? What should I expect to gain from that if I join? I want to become better with my hands, but realistically, I don't think I have time to train in a regular boxing school.

What's your body type first. BJJ=very competitive. And others I'm sure.

Past failures and a desire to better myself in every aspect of my life; I want to be well-rounded.

Hehe, that thought has crossed my mind before: only because I think I know what I personally need to work on(what I consider to be the most important MA aspects). But: I can't teach those things because I haven't studied them. Maybe one day if I train diligently in say, BJJ, boxing, Muay Thai, and wrestling I'll create my own style. But I know that's not going to happen.

Its mostly constant, seems to occur when I breathe in. More sharp than dull.

Haha, the language thing. An X-block is by crossing your arms, so they form an X. A lower X-block is kinda like 2 lower blocks at the same time. An upper X-block is kinda like 2 upper blocks at the same time. Not completely, but kinda. A thrust kick pushes. You load, then thrust with follow-through. A snap kick is different, like a roundhouse. A thrust kick makes all the force of contact go along your leg. And a sucker punch is just a term to describe a cheap-shot. Like a late hit.
