if you try different variety of pushups they effect different things but eventually you will have do strength training with weights if you are looking for strenght but they r good for endurance cause wat good about a strong punch if its slow and you can only do it once

In this area people talk alot about Chi, Ki, ande things like that, but i feel one of the most important i guess spiritual practices that people dont talk about is the killers intent's which basically what you use almost everyday when you have a bad day for example and can stop a fight before it happens i basically want to know what everyone's opinion or experience with sakki

Yoga focus' alot on Mantras so does buddhsim and toaism i was reading in a book talked about Mantras

Ive recently heard that they found Ancient Egyptian martial Arts too

Well the notion that most fight go to the ground dependes on where you live and also that if a person does take you to the ground who's to say they will have the skill to put you in a arm bar or sumthing cause most of those so called ground fights is just the guy either standing over or siting on top of a guy punching them.

Hard work does pay off Congrats and i think you have the right reason to be happy to be promoted

Actually stealth came later in the art of ninjutsu and just because something is in a movie doesnt make it tru sai is a Karate weapon look it up and in the REAL documentation they never used sai or high side kicks or roundhouses kicks remeber there are fruads out there *cough* frank dux's, asida Kim* end cough* i think you have seen books from guys like that unless the document is done by Hatsumi soke or Shoto Tanemura then they are fake and all movies especially american made movies about ninjas are no tru interpetations and you have yet to give any proper argument cause you just admited to saying you saw thins from books and movies anyone cause write a book about ninja's doesnt mean ts all true

man if I dont train i get really ANGERY AND U WOULDNT LIKE ME ANGERY. espcially after school i need something to focus on a letoff agression

Take Jeet Kune Do etc. Thats about fighting in the most effective way possible. Ninjitsu is not. In Ninjitsu, you learn to be stealthy, to kill stealthy and quickly, and a bit mumbojumbo. Yes Ninjas train to be effective fighters in hand-to-hand combat, but it's not their purpose. Acrobatics are very difficult to use effective in a hand-to-hand fight, but it is a very good thing for moving quickly and stealthy. Therefore it doesn't matter if acrobatics aren't useful in a fight for a ninja. Why would I mean gun when I write katana? No I don't mean gun, because guns weren't used by Ninjas in that era. And Ninjas do use sai. It might first have been a Karate weapon, but it's been a ninja weapon too for quite some time now. I really don't think that was TKD. And even if it was (however unlikely), they did do a hell lot more than fighting hand-to-hand. And since TKD is Korean, I doubt there are katanas in that MA. The guys in the clips used katanas. They also used some hand techniques that looked very much like the "Ninja-magic" ninjas learn. And they did know how to use the inviroments very well. To me it looks like it's very unlikely that they weren't trained in the Ninja arts. ok you never have taken ninjutsu and i do so how can you tell me if its effective or if wat they r doing is real i mean with all due respect if you have correct me i have been in many fights cause i live in a bad Neighborhood second of all it doesnt matter if they do hand weaving that was in every ninja book in the 80's go to barnes and noble and look for a Steven Hayes book that doesnt make them a ninja there were never high kicks in ninjutsu i know i sound harsh but ppl have been given the wrong impression of Ninjutsu and i dont want you to have one other ppl on this forum seem to have an uderstanding and coments are for the most part right TRUST ME IM TRYING TO HELP

Actually this is true most ninja were farmers who were attacked periodcally so they developed stealth skills to protect them selves ppl dont know this but alot of ninja were actually samurai there was even a ninja school developed from Musashi's style yea in some dojo they do teach fire arm use not in all like my Sensei says if you enter a gun fight with no gun you deserve to get shot

Whats not effective about swiftly and stealthly taking down an opponent and also i know in bujinkan is ment for street fighting there are alot of cops and army ppl in this style also all that flipping stuff is from the movies and most of the time you are being fooled cause they r showing you a nnja doing Karate

CQC its a military style used by anti Terrorist, US Marine Corps, Seals Etc. alot of self Defense against and with a gun

i dunno about in NJ but in NYC there are nothing but weapons on the floor broom sticks (staffs hanbo, etc) bottles, trash cans, coat hangers etc.

Well my sensei and the soke in our art says there are two braches in Martial Arts Sport and Budo (combat) i honestly think you can even use sport martial arts in a fight ive seen many tkd ppl win street fights

Well most ppl i tell dont really fear me thay r like "wow thats kool man i wish i could take up martial arts" I thnk some ppl are scared because of thinking i love beating ppl up for no reason (ufc syn drome) and yes fear does = respect because that person acknolowges your capabilities

i honestly dont care how cocky ppl are when they come in to the dojo with cockyness im just worried about my training parthners being hurt by that person one example is a few weeks ago some guy who you know lift weights and have jail house "get off me muscles" try to throw ppl with brute strenght and almost made a new guy land on his head. So it was my turn to train with him and i am by no means insanely big i have small compact but powerful muscles so hes like trying to throw me on my head at that point i had to kill his ego by stopping the throw without him knowning and of course this piss him off so he tries to use more strenght and by this time he hasnt figured out hes out of his leauge in every area of fighting so i had to do a counter throw and wouldnt you know it because his ego was killed he never tried that again sometimes you have to fight back to save others

People for some reason fear me thus giving me respect when ii say i study martial arts dont get me wrong i do act like a jerk and be like yea i can destroy you if someone ask i just tell them there are some that r like oh so you do that ufc stuff i just say no "im from Brooklyn i fight dirty when my life is in danger"

Lu Kang love the Bicycle kick

Ninja Turtles, The almighty Bruce Lee, .......................and Power Rangers

Nice one

hit them in the temples with the middle knucles of the fingers

Big guys usally have bad endurace take advatage of that

Yea i love the old reliable backfist never see it coming i also like the good old sucker punch to knock the wind out of a guy (i know i fight dirty)

Kenjutsu and Iado are basically war arts of the Samurai swords and in Kenjutsu theyll usally teach how to use swords other than the Katana such as the Tachi Iado is basically teahing a person how to draw a sword either quick or from different positions Kendo was created later on after theMenji period because swords were becoming outlawed so they turned it to a sport Kendo is more hitting Kenjutsu is more cutting

Try shadow boxing when you are alone or performing techs in front of a mirror
