Welcome to KF

Welcome to KF Are you kids still in MA? I hope so... Glad to have you here.

Yeah I have had problems the last few weeks. Patrick said there was nothing wrong with the site it may be the flux of people on over Thanksgiving break....

We usually do 3 2 hour classes a week

Hands/Punching 7 Kicking 3 Footwork 7

Respect is hard to win and eaisy to loose.

Talking is the key to any relationship reguardless if it is family, romance or dojo. Too ofter we mistreat those we care for because we think we are doing the best for them. In all cases I stress you must talk to the other person and let them know whats going on with you. Sometimes things just don't work and other times they can be fixed. The biggest problem is always the one no one wants to talk about.

Thats pretty good Have a good one....

KK75 Anytime you have power its a plus LOL... You are talking about a point tourny so its may not be as useful as it would be in a say a full contact event. However try this. There are 2 ways to defeant an enemy in war. One you can take out the control center (this case the body) Or 2 you can take out the weapns they use (their arms and legs). Now back to power. when you get a shot to block a punchers punch block it HARD. Preferably to the elbow joint. Don't try and break it but make it hypperextend. Also strike the tricep and biceps they are big mucles that are not used to getting hit and will cause his or her punching speed to slow down. Along the same lines. Use your front snap kick as a decoy. Throw it and foce him or her to block it. Make them block it over and over. You leg is stronger than their arm and after they are foced to block you leg their arms will again tire out. Bruce Lee taught about using your longest weapon the side kick. Weill Im not really quick with my side kick so I use the next longes the front kick. Both kicks are quick, and powerful and hard to block.With a puncher you need to stay away from things like the roundhouse IMO because its just to slow. (espically in a pt tourney) So here is what I would do. 1. Froce the front snap - if you score great but you goal is to kick his or her arm. 2. Use you counters off the front kick - Power blocks to his or her counter punches or counter punches of your own. 3. Find a good POWER finsher off the front kick set up - such as a jump front (some call it a double kick) or spinning back thrust kick. This is stuff that is fun to work on and talk about but hard to type lol. Good luck

Do the crime do the time I say. BTW Justice is also my hometwon its next to Gilbert which I list on my info. LOL. One way or another we will make sure the job is done. LOL...

Welcome to KF no one here is an outcast because of your style or art. I personally don't know much about it except for what I have saw in the UFC's. Anyway welcome to KF....

Use your front snap kick to keep them off you. Im a puncher to lol.

Can't judge a book by its cover....Can't judge a book by its cover....

First of all its Christmas. That kills me. Im not a big religous nut but I mean we get off work for it and all you could at least show dec. the 25th that much respect reguardless your faith. I mean heck you list hanukah and kwanzaa. LOL Ok how is this for wish list 1. A new goverment in Iraq 2. Bin Ladden brought to Justice 3. All the Chirldren of the world to join hands and SING (We are the World) Merry Christmas.... O yeah its Thanksgiving. o man o man o man good food.....

I would not say all good fighters are good at kata but you can pretty much say a person good at kata is a pretty good fighter.

Well I made my second Dan in Oct. of 97 and I have not or wanted to test since. LOL. As far as Kuy ranks go I spent almost a year at 5th Kuy.

I see said the blind man to the man who could not hear.....

Well you never start a fight. I mean you can't say that guys is looking at me funny and walk up and smack him. He may be looking at you funny because he is going to attack or he just might always look funny. LOL. We can always look back and say I should have done this or that but as MA we have to know their is no First Attack. No the situation changes if they make statements that they are comming or whatever but you can't act without reason.

We have a system that it takes at least 30 classes before we even consider a test. At the same time 3 months have to pass at least. I tend to side with your teacher. Rank is somehting too many peoiple give away. Im not saying you don't deserve it because I don't know but look at it from his view. If he starts allowing people to test whenever then what does that say about him as a teacher? You can't get something for nothing. You can say what if and well this or that all you want but in the long run when faced with a problem look in the miror first and ask what could I have done to fix this situation. Good luck and don't get down on the situation but understand it and grow from it.

I think I train everyday reguardless if I put a gi on or not. Reading this board and interacting with other MA is some of the best training you can get. But to answer your question 2-4 classes a week for 2 hrs a session.

Welcome to KF.

Kensai and KK75 thanks That is the first thing I teach my class. You can never let words and name calling get to you. 90% of all fights start because someone was talking about someone else. Like I said Sticks and Stones. Or as they say in Science. Mind over matter. If I don't mind it don't matter. Because I know the truth and that is all that should matter. If my friends want to think something else then they are not my friends. Again my mind has never missed a block I wish I could say the same for my hands and feet. Bowing back....

yeah I will agree with that but I do that Thai thing just to fool arround. However I use my front kick a lot to make distance and I find that it works well by doing that. I do agree that you must change stances as much and as often as possible to throw people off.

I raise mine sort of like a thai fighter. Although I do Shotokan.

Words can be blocked with a strong mind. If the mind is not strong the body don't stand a chance. If you let words get to your soul then MA has taught you nothing....
