Ok last month i was promoted while in japan to shodan but when i got back there were people who resented me because i got to BB before themi mean i dont rub it in ppls faces at all i wanna know what ppl suggestions are to deal with this problem

Congrats but to tell you thr truth im not surprise you have the meatality of a Martial Artist

You dont have to down grade your abilities but also remeber if the style you are going is different from the one you studied before remeber that you have to have a white belt mentality and liseten to the instructor cause you wont go anywhere without it trust me there are alot of ppl i know who dont go with the white belt mentality and then their ego gets killed afterwards

"use the sword to protect one's nation" - Togakure ryu ninjutsu and the one on my sig "Destroy the enemy's power but leave his life"

i was reading somewhere that Leopard was done with Phenoix

i luv being underestimated like in my current dojo i was sparring with this one guy 100x my size (i mean he was big) but i just had better tech than him an brutillized him cause he thiught he was stronger he doesnt like training with me now after that embarassment

Well dont throw yourself into a senseless fight if it can be advoided without conflict then advoid it cause juding from what you r saying some can end up in jail or seriously hurt

well steel toed foot wear is perfect for beating the snot out of ppl and ending fights so i approve of them

I know that this question has been answered by Meguro & saishu (thx guys) but I'll add something : being in the ring with them in many occasions , the only thing I could say is that they are not conditioned as kyokushin fighters are ,for instance it took me ONE punch to knock down a TKD black belt while I wasn't able to take a 1rst kyu kyokushin off balance till the third round (that was in the same tournament) , shotokan guys where vulnerable to knee kicks and gedan mawashi geri , & I have noticed that in every fight when they take a hard hit , they expected me to stop or to back off , in the 4 open style tournaments that I have been in , kyokushin ,muay thai and sometimes kickboxing practitioners where always placed in the first three places , makes me wonder why . I know that people are going to say , this is only ur own experience or the guys you have been in the ring with are not true TKD-shotokan-KF , or they where trained in a mcdojo etc..... If this is the case then no one is training in a real dojo anymore yea i have to dissagree you cant jump to the assumption that other styles dont condition themselves as much as Kyokushin i know alot of kung fu schools that are imensly condition i say instead of worring about the style just train and worried if the persons skill is amazing

well should it matter you should be ready to defend yourself wearing anything even naked but seriously take that into consideration

Its mental but not as Mental as trditional its mental as in if your in the street and always looking around prepared fpr a fight where as traditional you look weak or unskilled but give off the vibe that ppl dont want to bother with you on the awareness part of it is more focused on I trained and competed but i did it more for street fighting cause i live in a very bad neighborhood so i applied my stuff more for street fighting then competition now im not saying every mma has this problem but traditional fixes your technique and seems less on a constant dependency on buiding Muscle strength to try and get stronger striking and grappling power dont get me wrong if it works it works Different paths leading hopefully too the same goal

Ima ruin this disscusion i think it depends on wat the individual themselves wants everyone is different i mean for awhile i did mma it was fun but i felt it was lacking things that traditional martial arts have i am in no way saying traditional is the way to go but i feel the traditional art im in now is really helping fixed the problems i had also i feel mma is 70% phydical 30% mental where as Traditional applys the mental in different possibilities

lol that was wat i was thinking i havent seen it but i think there is another k1 called K-1 MMA

most ppl start their own franchises in Martial Arts because they did something amazing like won lots of tournaments or was in a movie

has anyone seen that clip with the kung fu fighting this spanish guy in the street (i lost the link) and just using the form he destroyed the guy it was funni but that goes to prove there are so many variables i agree that i would lean a tad bit more toward the seasoned street fighter

always walk in with a white belt mentality when going into a new dojo or style i say

well now a days ppl have no respect for the martial arts so little chance that it will work cause a person who watches ufc will try to copy that stuff (which is one of the problems i have with ufc and stuff like that) or will take out a weapon

Well witout people there you wont know if your techs actually work or even how to apply them its also good to try them out on different body types so you know what works on a big or small person ect...

yea thats likke just basically giving up the fight before it started then there is no point in fighting if you think that either way you r going to lose

yea there are to many variables in a fight to say there would be a definte outcome to the situation

yea it is said that Morihei Ueshiba studied one of the nine schools Kukishiden ryu and derived akido from that school which is a samurai Armor fighting school

Yeah I have already done this, neglected to mention this so apologies. General format was warm up/stretching etc to begin. There were two areas covered in a hour long class, the first was pressure point techniques from standing, kneeling and prone positions. The second was sparring techniques involving correct ways to punch and kick. One such punching technique was to 'feint' a punch at an opponent then spin round and backfist. Another was to use what the instructor called a "power jab" which was (assuming you were right handed) to jab off the right hand as that's the one with the power. Overall I'd say it was a good class and only cost me £12. Do you mind if i ask the name of this club

Me being a psycho again lol weighted wrist bands wear them and punch with them on or slowly so not to mess up your joints with weights puch SLOOOOOWLY i found that that uped my punching speed

i think u r right to a certin point cause Hatsumi soke writes in a way to make things more complicated then they really are he wrote one time that if a person who does really study Bujinkan reads his books they will not see between the lines. At first i thought that that was a lie but now when i read his books im like duh ts that simple

in my school we did
