Very true, I actually found one way back and it was very biased and rated the martial art on its punches and kicks ect...I couldn't have disagreed anymore with that site.

Would you actually chose gatorade or powerade over water in a situation where normaly water would be needed for survival? I would chose water, I just wanna here some says on this...

My fav would have to be Bassai.

The worst part about my hands is that my fingers and bend back as they do forward so I wouln't be able to use a spearhand very well anyway, let alone develop conditioned fingers.

Iam not comfortable enough with spearhand to use it at all in a life threatining situation. However I might use a open-handed strike to the neck of a not to out of control or beginnning of a fight.

Thats true but at least legit dojos can try to lesson the gap.

Thats odd, maybe she does it to find out others who feel the way she does...she youre reaction and all

well i dont think when some schools arnt taught traditionaly that its not COMPLETELY true that they dont get egos. I think it depends on the instructor and of what i have seen untraditional schools tend to have larger egos. Also the part where the man who took out 300 men and felled 50 bulls, I actually beleive it. I think its a big deal to kill a bull, even though i dont think he should. He must have good technique and strentgh to pull of that.(shows disapline). The bulls may have been sick, i cant argue that and its completely plusable.

Possibly but i doubt it, I know I would do alot worse blind folded and ill admit it. If someone got a hold of the other person and it turned into a grappling match then the chances would raise alot.

Alot of very exellent points, well done

Whichever your best at, but thats not a very original answer lol

Metallica-ride the lightning and other metalica songs are good.

i dont have a strong point about the face mask,(no offence) but I do know your instructor should know how to control even through instinc. Maybe a face mask should be worn,

I wouldn't say so, youll probably end up hurting yourself or putting yourself into a very bad poistion or they might just hit you in the air lol

I never find i have much time to train anymore, but good job for the people who do.

that really doesnt make any sense, as stated many times above.

I plan to buy new equipment for training and I just wanted to hear a few opinions on how much do you think I should spend(max) on some kicking and thai pads?

lol nice, wish i could be happy of my cat. 3-4 years and wieghs 23 pounds and is naturaly giant, people confuse him for a small dog sometimes. Also hes mean, picks fights and stuff.

Ummm when I want to build muscle I know everyones heard this a million times but thought Id get my say in is for muscle mass is to do more wieght for less reps and for toning more reps for less weight.

Never got that through kata, but i have had it in different scenerios. its great

I learned a couple years ago, it was really wierd for me too.

Do submission fighters ever try to grap your kick?(i will be fighting a grappler for a small tournament soon so i need all the advice i can get.)

Oh I mean with the original post not anyone else, sorry

I strongly disagree witht that statement
