agreed

i Just found out that kenpo in term of unsrmed is pronouced from the chinese kanji not the japanese cause i maybe wrong but kenpo has chinese influences

yea the guy who sparred against my sensei already signed a waiver but my sensei went easy on him i have heard stories of it happening in the US but mostly on the west region

man that made me now accept responsibility as a bb and to train 300x harder nice article

i see losing a knife as a good reason to buy a new one

id have to agree especially since u have kendo and iado experience u should have really good reflexes and speed and from kendo be able to take a good shock and if a unexperience guy see someone coming at them with a sword they would panic

I want know it anyone have ever had someone walk in and challenge their dojo i remeber only one where my teacher was challenge in a (friendly manner) by a new student who had experience in MMA tournaments he was a kool guy and after class they went at it and my teacher easily won (he didnt eat in 2 days he was fasting).

Kendo is a sport not real swordsmanship Kenpo was the earliest name for Kenjutsu they changed the name later on much later on

i think thats more unadulterated rage but i think adreneline effects ppl differently

yea i agree but i think its mostly ppl arent doing the kiaa right not many can only one person kia intimidated me was my sensei i felt my spirit shatter i didnt want to fight or ppl who breathe loudly it just tells when u are going to attack

im 20 and i started with traditional kung fu and would go to aTKD club near where i lived afther family problems i stopped and got back into it with jkd and mma it was kool but ilike my current dojo alot better than MMA they didnt suit me i like doing forms now because my sensei puts a method behind its madness lol

omg i beat it last week the story was amazing and i like the reaction button feature i only wished the dive forms were better didnt feel like much damage was being done

Combat/CQC knives with the saw on the back of the blade to lock a person to the blade

i think alot of ppl see joint locks as the end all solution me personally i see joint locks as a way of disrupting a persons balance and rythem so then you can take advantage of that but like i said before i find them more effective if they are combined with something such as a strike or leting you get the throw but like mentioned before everyone is different so u cant rely on those locks i know alot of those wrist locks are hard to get on me cause my wrist are flexible from Breackdancing me i perfer joint locks that mess with body mechanics more so than pain compliance

at first i loved sparrining and thought forms were useless but for me if see forms as a way to work techniques into your body so you wont have to think about performong the techniques and it conditions your body to aactually do the techniques and teaches u to stay mentally fudo (immovable) so now i like forms a bit more than sparring especially when i proved my friend wrong in a hypothesis he had

I think you mean "kendo". Kempo/kenpo are more of a translation issue when it comes to the Hawaiin based arts. no it use to be called kenpo in japan thats wat it tranlates to in japanese ive asked a japanese teacher that wats they called it in japan

Joint locks mostly deal with the body's mechanical compliance and are also usally applyed steathly or after a strike/ with the strike

Yea i saw that show he seems really creditable yea my teacher is reallly lazy about pics of himself on our website lol he really doesnt even care

Was that the one with the guy who use to be in power rangers

Training alone its awsome but in the dojo its kinda hard when your sensei is trying to correct you and u cant hear him guess that teaches u to listen not hear

well from wat i understand from asking my sensei and japanese sensei is that Kenpo was actually in japan at least another name for swordsmanship Ken=Sword po=way it may just be a translation thing i dunno wasnt there when it was given its name but this translation i provided maybe an older form of japanese

Long Fist, and Praying Mantis

Ive been at it for 11 years and still dont understand anything lol like my sig says white belt for life

Ive spared with bokkens and shinai's and bos man if you do go slow at first man it hurts

well it also depends on the dojo cause some dojo's i hate to say arent really combat oriented thankfully mines is some teach is a more hitorical point other teach in a more budo stand point, how can i tell u may asked cause ive use budo taijutsu in a street combat situation and against trained figthers also i kinda see it as each person fits into their own art me its Bujinkan, other Karate, some Kung fu, some bjj; and in the bujinkan they tend to hide things with in the techniques themselves when new ppl are there they tend not to show alot
