Me and a group of friends annualy Setup a like underground tournament just to test our sklls out on each other its fun

Good i thought i was going crazy cause after traning when i fall asleep on the ride home i Dream about myself trying to aply what i learn on the street

I heard alot of good things about Hammersmith Dojo

Wow that is not wat real ninjutsu is you are so far off you been reading too many Ashsida Kim books. there is way more to it then learning a few locks and escapes and they werent assasins they we spies like in james bond or the Bourne Identity the Shogun had his own assasins. there are alot of schools in england try looking it up in http://www.winjutsu.com/winlinks.html You should just visit each dojo and see which teacher is better for wat you are lookng for

Google Peter King he is one of the best in the Bujinkan i he had a Seminar in New York a few months ago and it was awsome try looking here http://www.winjutsu.com/winlinks.html

i can but not far may friend from gymastics always told me to lock my shoulders out in order to get balance and bend/curve your legs a little to get foward momentum

Chinese Connection is what fist of Legend is a remake of like i sad before Fist of Fury was the real name of Chinese connecton

two werds Tiger and Balm

but tai chi and taiji gives one of the best internal exercises

Fist of Fury = Chinese Connection in countries other than Asia

i honestly think taiji can be an effective fighting system ive sparred with a guy who uses it. And before looking for the so called ultimate self defense martial art you should remeber that its not the art that makes you a good fighter but if you can actually apply it. if you go into a fight thinking you have the ultimate art youll lose and never progress in the martial arts also i read an article that in fact 30% of streets fight go to the ground cause most end with the first punch i know in New York thats true cause when you fight one person here you are actually fighting 5 and its hard to fight 5 people on the ground esspecially when you have weapons, dont get mw wrong think ground fighting is important be prepared for anything

My mitts and a adaptable weapon called a duc (i think thats how its spelled)

Yea there is on in cuba or South America thats is a stick weapons style i forgot the name it i have to look for the info on it sorry i didnt have much

TKD does get a bad rap and ill admit it I mayself added to it from my previous experiences. Like ant other martial art TkD can work or cannot it dependes on if its the right art for this person or not and it can be used in a real fight you dont HAVE TO kick high you can apply that with lower faster kicks to the mid section or legs its dependes really if the erson who takes the art can translate it in a real life situation.

The Japanese guy at the end of fist of Legend

Kunai and second weapon is the spear cause if it breaks then its a bo the bo breakes its a jo the jo breaks its a hanbo ect

I tend to like keeping the two worlds apart makes it easier to concentrate

I think its also the media that plays a factor in the Lack of information of western martial arts. Cause the media generalizes martial arts as an Asian invention but forgot got the west has its own cause the asian martial arts are more marketable, Ill will admit i was ignorant of western Martial arts untill i watch the history channel where they showed Midivel weapons and unarmed combat and also in a near by park i saw some guys practicing with the european broadsword

Ive only been in Bujinkan Taijutsu for 7months so im not the end all of be to ask about this subject but basically alot of the traditions in the art that are originally from from china and were made and improved in japan for the years of civil wars, some of which modern japanese martial arts are based on from my experience it is a complete system but its not for everyone i think its an awasome art but there is no such thing as an unstoppable art but it gives you a different approch to combat

It may also be the fact that its just an advance move that really needs to be trained alot more so it becomes a reflex to use cause in fast paced real life situations the basics are wat you are mostly going to use cause they are effective also a good way to develop speed is to go to a hand ball court stand faily close to a wall and hit the ball and try not to let it drop this will help develop eye speed and reflex

because i know in kung fu iron Palm one method of training is that the make a stew sort if of herbs and they are made to do Chi Kung exercses while placeing their hands in it

Well im lucky cause in New York City there are alot of Martial Arts stores and they usally have everythng except throwing weapons cause they r illegal Military stores usally have weapons too you culd try there or order online

Iorn body isnt just for condtioning the body but helpng the practicioner develop chi focus

Yea thats why these days one of the many reasons some Sensei's stress lot on giving off the presence of not being a martial artist or dont use obviouse stance or of course ppl r gona be like hey he's knows kung fu or sumthing

Go for soft easy to grab stuff like the ears ribs there an area on the inside of the thigh that hurt no matter how big you are you can grab that and use his size to your advantage keep distance and make him waste energy trying to catch you with his mass
