lol yes, but ive seen people develop it and the older people also.

i agree, but just watch out if you have bad knees, running can be damaging to them.

A side kick to the weapon-hand? Thats probably the last of the kicks I would consider to use for disarming an opponent. I'd say that roundhouse kick is better suited for that. It worked for me when i was attacked with a knife....

very interesting

i ended up choosing because of conveince, however i think that was the best decision in other aspects also.

i didnt know they had more than one weapon, what are the weapons that are used commonly?

with so many people giving blood, i wonder how much blood does the hospital need? what do they use it for, other than the classic reasons.Im not agaisnt it but it just seems blood is like a new nessesity that people could do without before(donating).

Well good luck

ive kicked a guy in the air when he tried to do flying side kick do so i know im not gunna try it myself, i dont care what people tell me. Also if i was to use side kick, id kick to the knee or stomach...or their hand if it had a weapon...

Yea i think lidel and couture or however you spell their names were better coaches, or maybe just for tv i dunno.

i think alot of words and numbers have different ways of saying it, i dunno which is more common but its like every other language in that sense.

yea same, id use it if the opportunity really presented itself enough for minimal risk.

yea i find alot stlyes get into the same situation.

i think it can actually, building your awareness and building your reaction time of the object moving at you.

i think using the right techniques you already know will stop the attack.

also the way you have been taught can change your or influence your view on these types of topics.

I liked the first one the most.

yea, however i think the really TMA along time ago knew the "right" balance between both.

i agree, there are different definitions of a warrior overall..

Id give the upper hand to the samurai, but i dont think they were all about grace as alot of people think, i think they also liked to use strength but strentgh in the technique.

I couldnt find any how ever how did you start shotokan at 5th kyu?

How does your ranking system go?
