Best way to build power is kick or hit a heavy bag.

Its all about reaction. Good martil arts is that you do when you don't think. Anyone can come up with a game plan is slow motion but real karate just happens.

The body can only move certin ways and although our ideas behind it may differ we all do the same moves like it or not.

I like the palm strike to the groin and the smashing of the (well you know) at the end.

We do a kicking and shifting drill the kids like. We take some of those big balls you use to do set ups on put a person in the middle and roll the balls at them. They must shift out of the way and side kick or round kick over the ball. They are constantly changing postions because they must dodge the ball if your hit your out and you must get the kick over the ball.

My guess is * Hate to step on toes but it can't be done. I understand respect honorary degrees but if you claim to know that style its *. Gives MA a bad name and rep.

Places I have taught or trained 1. Dojo 2. Several HS gyms 3. Several HS classrooms 4. Outside on both Grass and blacktop 5. Hallways at differant public buildings suchs as YMCA because the room was taken for an event. 6. Swimming Pool 7. The Woods 8. On a football field (off season) Right now setting in frot of this cpu is training to me.

Does that still happen in places? Sort of figured that type of deal went out of fashion with the 20th century.

Its about defense not offense.

Kendo, Fencing, etc IMO are a bit differant from MA. Why is not sharo shooting a MA then? Just my take.

unarmed combat practice

Ive been in for 10 and dont plan on stopping anytime soon.

There is a base set of of applications that are just simple block and punch. Then you dig into it and find others like throws, sweeps, takedowns, breaks, weapon def., grappeling. etc. Teachers sometimes have problems with being taught.

Usually its not the rank you wear that allows you teach but your ability to explain it to others. Ive saw blue belts do better teaching than 2nd Dans.
