hello

I find advantages in being left-handed myself, its funny because the less experianced in karate tend to get confused which side to attack from. The experianced i attack with my side however they usually know what to do.

I wish i did

What I love about summer break is how it gives me prettty much unlimited training time. So summer i go crazy training and resting and physical fitness.

Iam 15

just water(for shotokan and muay thai), sometimes an apple before a muay thai fight for energy boost.

Only 1-2 . Dartmouth just doesnt have enough people to have more tournaments, I would have to travel the country so I only end up doing the local ones.

Just a quick question, do people in jiu-jitsu train endurance and pain? How do they like to get in close without getting a leg to the head?

Training is tough, I find myself exausted and then having to run another 2 miles and another drill after drill. Iam already dead before the sesssion is over.

Like what pretty much everyone else said most of karate is put into kata. So Kata is more important to me, however kumite is also important just a little less.(too me)

In Canada it happens here and then but its never said.

Usually the taller guy, ive faught some short guys made of iron but i was still able to win my using my kicks and reach to get the jabs in, if he tried to get in..and so on.

nope, hope it wouldn't cause it to grow weird after awhile

I agree, if nothing works out i would train him for free if he was a good person.

All good points but really i think it would take A VERY LONG TIME and well i dont think those places will ever go out of buiseness anytime soon.

wow 3 is really young, i wonder at all if they know what their doing.

lol enough kicks and knees to the head changed my way of thinking a little bit anyway. Still a point that i missed is that kendo and kung-fu give a very different view on things and a different kind of discipline to youre life than muay thai.

Yea I said it in a bad way...poor wording

But yes a serious injury shouldn't have any stress on it, and lots of rest and therapy.

I thought that also, but aparently compared to running which puts 3-4 times your own weight on your knees, bicycling has pretty much no impact so it just helps the muscle around the knee instead of hurting the bone. Just something I heard so good chance its wrong but just thought id bring it up.(it doesnt work if the knee is worn out or cartliage damage only if certain parts of the knee need recovery).

yea one guy got so mad because of what i did he started hiting my arms with his blocks, then i shouldn't have but started to bring my punches closer and closer to his body, but luckly it ended when we both apologized.

Thanks for all the sites, im terrible when it comes to flexability.

It is pretty agravating how alot of schools are so strict with this(I can see why though) however I find the best is too throw them down or if you think you really need to front thrust them. If you can tell someone is going to attack you may want to think about who they are and how they attack. For getting suspended most likely they will take your word over the attacker(usually the attacker has a history) if they dont its up to you to say the story otherwise theres nothing you can do which is really stupid.

Riding a bike is a reall great way to build muscle around the knees I know this myself because i had to strenghten the muscles around my knees to keep up with shotokan(low deep stances) and muay thai.

I live in a relativly small house and backyard is all pants and garden and stuff so theres nowhere really to practice other than in my mind and more mental and stationary training other than the dojo i go to. It is only open 3 times a week and I would like to work on my kata with some open space......what would be a good solution?
