thats good. I just wanted to ask. because I know as in shaolin kenpo least villari's linage when talks about creating the style he talks about four ranges. so I was curious about people on here and detailed or technical each school is on diffrent ranges. I found some of the schools I was at they weren't detailed much on the grappling range. when I visited my family when I was on leave from the military. I was stopped by to talk to my friend and old instructor for shaolin kempo and I noticed only a few people take the grappling class actually just a handful of people take it. which are the ones that just take that class and thats what they are there for. where the peopole in the regular programs learning shaolin kempo didn't take it. It was very noticiable on the tests as well when they had to go to grappling they couldn't even get out of basic mount or guard postions very well. when I teach that is part of the belt requirements I show them least the basics of getting out of those postions. to at least stand back up and keep the fight standing.

only thing I find comes up is adjusting the techniques for certain indiviudals because of size diffrences and other factors when teaching.

true it all depends on the individual.

not really necessity but more of an added plus. I don't need a girl who does martial arts but I do need that she understands my passion for it though.

very true. I love seeing one of the king of the cages highlights were bus ruttans protige duane ludwig was facing shad smith. He was putting on a striking clinic on that guy.

thanks for posting every one.

Yes it does. If she is hot and doing brazilian jiu-Jitsu. we can have fun at home because I won't be passing that guard at all.

oh okay cool. Hey question at your school you attend. How much in the grappling emphasized.

Tufrahanu, thats the type of training I missioned on several other threads. to slowly bring up the resistance or in your case the punching power and speed so they learn to develop and deal with or adjust and over come it. Like running a long distance race in a certain amount of time. You can't just go all out for it the body won't handle it very well but if you build up to it then its alot easier on the body to deal with the race when time comes to do it. same with training. got to increase resistance of the training and build up to higher contact and speed levels. very nice training. I have had similuar experiences when dealing with women.

Men: do you like working with women partners or are you to afraid to you end up hurting them? or working with new women they end up to prissy to work out with. Women: you like working out with women training partners? I think this is a good discussion. I have talked to women in diffrent arts from karate to bjj and from response I get as far as the ones that have been in the respective art for awhile. The prefer to work out with men. find women either phyically weaker and they them selves are afraid to hurt the training partner. Or the weather work with men because thats who they feel they will face on the street so they weather get used to it in training. My self I don't care if I work with women or men as training partners. I was at a karate school owned by one of my friends and I was at the grappling class and this girl did it for the first time or second I don't remember what she told me but I was showing her the postions like guard and mount and she is giggling her head off. It was annoying I didnt' want to work with her. she was 19 or 20 at the time I think she would be mature enough not do that crap like some adolescent teen but boy was I wrong. Other women I worked out with in bjj one was a blue belt skilled and had a sick open guard. I enjoyed working out with her alot it was a fun, enjoyable technical training. I guess it depends on the personality there is some men I worked with that acted like sissy's when it came to any contact at all. I am not even talking full, medium contact, very light contact but if it even resembled any hurt or pressure at all they would complain and act like sissy's. but the women wouldn't care they would take the hit with out complaint and give you some good contact also. I don't care who i work out with as long as they want to train seriously. I like all diffrent partners. for Jiu-JItsu I like bigger people because I want to get used to dealing with bigger weight and trying to apply the moves with that. as smaller people I like that to because then I have to deal with the speed they usually bring to the game and learn to adjust for that. whats every one else thoughts on who they weather work out with or who they prefer to work out with or is gender a factor at all in who you want to train with?

accept I like to point out a flaw in the article as saying kata is the heart of a martial art when some arts don't even have kata with in them.

is the right hand thats grabbing the wrist doing the lock in the same postion as the one in the picture sounds like you would have to reach akewardly to put the hand on top before you turn it over in that positon as opposed to parrying it more away and down with the left are and them grabbing it with the palm down with the right hand. bending the hand down and into the wrist or turning it over to the elbow joint of the attackers is facking up and your palm of your wrist that you turned the attackers wrist or arm is facing up. you know what Mean or did I am not describe it to clearnly.

true but you see fights like cro cop, marice smith vs. mark coleman, or giblert yvel against gary goodridge in old fights where they ko'd the opponent with the high kicks so they have proven to be effective in mma events. granted i agree for my self I prefer to kick below the waist especially in a street self defense situation.

okay but you step out with the left foot and parry them so your on the houside of there arm. makes it kind of wierd to tap that way. since you got to play fetch for the arm.

If she's hot then doing martial arts is just an added +.

cool how you perform the wrist lock?

white crane karate

same good post. your right stance is only strong in two planes but there points where you can feel out the base and moment of your oppoent and so you keep movign and adjusting the foot work to keep your balance to where they take you if say they are ussing more upper body clinch type take down. but if some one dosn't have the grappling experience in those scerio's they will get taken down.

bioelectricity does exist in the body. I think people over fantasize about it.

lol fat chance of that unless you got some one in your area. I am in america and have no plans of going to england any time soon.

my friend who is a 7th dan doesn't consider him self a master and I have seened him theory, knowledge, and applicaiton of tehcniques clown many "masters" in other styles. but he still considers him self a student not a master. Its a mental thing master means mastry of technique when some one thinks they are master level it has a phycological effect. Even helio gracie because of certain politics in bjj but also about humility war a bjj blue belt brazilian jiu-jitsu's first belt after white.

it can defiently be effective or dangerous to yoru appendidge depending on how its employed and how aware that your opponent is of that your about to do it.
