thats what trinaing and practice is for so you know what works and what doesnt

oh sorry i didnt understand what he was asking

cool another one from england and that does shotokan welcome

do it somewhere soft it does hurt if you mess it up

tekken any day but i still havent found one that is both realistic aan dmind blowing

loose arm till impact tight fist all of the time

2nd kyu white/brown in shotokan

How do i develop it?? is their any exercises that i can do?? i know meditation is one. I want to improve the power of my techniques by being able to use ki/chi when i need to. any help would be grateful i have been looking on the net but cant find anything good on it. Is their any books that you can buy,websites information etc Thanks in advance Jay

i know how you feel you feel hard done by because you had to work for your belt yet some people are given it on a plate just becuase of their age this is not right i love the article and nice to see that you can relate to something that it can too shotokan it is really good practice hard and good luck ill give you a tip train alot out of class i have taught myself katas that i dont need till 2nd dan but when i get their ill know where i need to go and learning it will take less time becuase ill know where i am going

nice post thats true flashy applications of moves arnt practicle im always taught if i cant think of how to counter someone just hit them with punches simple but effective

i belive that a martial art is diferent to a weapons art but i guess if yoga can count fencing definatly should be in their i love fencing alwyas wanted to take it up but dont know if it is a martial art

best not get involved another girlie squabble

walk awya sounds like you started it dont be scared of getting hit just accept that you probably gonna get hit

its better to die with honour than none

tekken 5 or mortal kombat tekken all the way like it takes skillz

ill look for ward to hearing you opinions and ideas welcome

probably becuasd ethey arnt practicle in a rwal fight but then again i dont think tha capoaira is practicle in a real fight so its your own opinion

i think the best way to stretch is to just practice kicking higher and higher eventually you will be able to kick very high just make sure you warm up it can be painful if you dont as one day i found that out but it was ok in about 5 min after so no harm done i think

amen to that

the same as street fighter everything is about practice and the way that you are taught it.

a muai thai kick to the side of the knee cap is extreamly effective aim a bit lower and you may even take them out

try dynamic karate by matetoshi nakayma or the best karate series by the same author(something like that) also tao of jeet kun do is very good

while you are talking bout it could you tell me what Kyokushin is and explain a bit and where exactly are you in the UK

TKD tutor is actually a very good site i do shotokan and it can either be sport orientated or traditional depending on what dojo you are at we do quite a lot of kicking but nothing like the flying and flashy kicks in tkd (in a fight they arnt going to be practicl but in sparing they are i belive karate is more self defence than sport oriantated

unfortunatly im limited to kata as well
