Welcome

interesting that energising thing ui recently did some push ups and after my arms where really hurting but i had nothing to do so i thought id meditate after doing so for about 10min the pain in my arms was gone. Natural recovery or energising?

how much and where?? im in the UK

thanks

go ahead you got yourself into this mess so you can get yourself out of it. To be fair i know what schools like and your gonna have to fight him. Dont let it go to the ground because thats where he is strong and where you are weak. But by the comparison you are strong at long distance because of your tae kwon do. Just dont let him get near you by firing strong and quick kicks at him. Dance dont stay still. I belive that he might try to get you on the ground by using some sort of spear american football takedown then get ontop of you and lock up till you tap out. When he trys to take you to the floor use his energy against him if he pushes you in a direction le thim go that way pulling him where he is going. Protect your face lats probably his long range target and if it goes to ground never get on your back i have learnt as soon as you get on your back you are finnished. Try landing on your side and even worse never land on your front your a sitting duck and could be in for the punding of your life. In a fight strength is only useful to him iif you allow him to use it. Sly of thought and cunning can help the weakest guys beat up the strongest guys. He is probably cocky as well use this against him

I do biology so i get what you mean reflex stimulus in other words the more you do something the better you get at it.

a bullet ttravels at roughly 200 to 300 mph depending on what gun it is shot from sound travels at roughly 700mph by the time you hear the shot you have about 2.5sec to move including the time it takes to make a decision it cant be done

i like them but i use push up bars it does a better job they seem to improve speed slightly but not a lot

im the same age as you and i only lift light weights what im doing is that when i got to the gym im progressivly making everything heavier as i get better. I prefer lots of light weight repitions as these give you better muscle memory which improves your speed which is my aim heavier weights will give more strength type results

there is one thing that i have learnt in anything the perosn with the better technical ability always wins im about 5'7 and about 60kg but i maintain the fact that most of me is muscle. in anything if your technique is good you are good.

Yeah i heard that a guy called Hayward Nishioka ran a study to which was more powerful a JKD punch or a karate punch im wondering if anyone can give any scientific information on why the JKD punch was more poerful anyone that has any info or opinions on this id like to hear them. If i get some good stuff then i may be able to use this information for my physics cw

great post white warlock

How can you achive lightning fast punchs is it to do with my techniques? Vertical fist Vs Horizontal fise my timing, my positioning or my footwork? How do i achive 'Bruce Lee type punches'?

Just looking for some downloadable wing chun sticky hand techniques as we do a bit in karate as wing chun is the best for hand techniques and trapping i decided to ask you guys!

yeh it depends on the stance i try for parallel to the ground

cheers guys i do karate but we do self defence application which includes locks Any other ones?

mabe your relaxed when you hit it if your relaxed it doesnt hurt like if you get punched when your drunk

thats a good point i recon theres more males i remember at the start my club only had a few girls but now the percentage of boys and girls are about the same how times change!!

i remember i have quit for one and a half years and then i found out one of my mates who carried on (there where three of us from age 7 now theres only me ) was now the same belt as me (i got 2 ahead somewhere) that gave me the motivation to come back and i have been going since. I find that i get bored the monotonous moves really get boring but theen i realise if i quite i will miss the hell out of it i have done martial arts all my life. I am determined to get to black belt one day(hopefull beyond) and theres not anything that is gonna stop me. So i just practice,practice and eventually i can do it better even though i find it boring and that gives me satisfaction The way i cope is that i live for competition i want to be the best at everything that i do and i wont stop till i am to me life is a competetition one which i will win (survival of the fitest)
