lol yeh i love them so much! judoinfo is a diamond of a site

Do you like to spar? do you love to hear the words "pads on!" or do you dred them with a pasion? i remember when i first joined TKD that i hated hearing the instructor shout those words. but now im getting better and getting less beaten im starting to enjoy it alot more. ive been trying out twisting kicks resently, they work like a charm. and also jumping from punch, you go in for a fake then jump to side of them and get a nice clear shot to there temple. what is everyones favourite sparring moves also? anything youve been trying out resently?

in theory you can get your BB in ITF TKD in 3 years, but this is only if you grade at every possible chance and have the minium time at each belt grade.

yeh thats understandable, but dont u think there is soemthing to be said for no EQ sparring? you learn how it feels to be hit and punched, and beleive me when i say you have to be good with those blocks! in some ways i do agree with, u can learn alot from sparring with EQ. one day you will need to expirience being punched without gloves. i can see this thread may cause some mixed opinions so lets keep it friendly thanks

do u ever meet up with a friend from your dojo/dojang and spar? no pads? i did this today with my friend alex from TKD (he is the junior great britian light weight champion) i just bumped into him in the park and we decided to spar and i got my butt wooped. i now have several impressive cuts and bruices including a cut lip and a bump on my outer forarm. but twas all in good fun! anyone ever done this kinda thing? (man i havnt posted in a while!)

well u could not wear your box, but as every man knows there are somethings that embarresing yourself a little a very worth for.

go for it!

a black belt is just as black no matter who it is for, everyone should have to pass the same test no matter who they are.

good day! its also a certain members birthday to not naming any names ........*cough*ZeRo*cough*

well done ken!

if we couldnt go to the ground then id go for the throw leaving me on my feet and him on the floor in pain. (but thats only using my ju jitsu skill and not my striking)

sounds good, i wouldnt get to wrapped up in the whole belt thing. after all it is just a way of seeing progress. go have a look and decide on the teaching not on things like the ranking system. hope that made sence.

theres time for everything. ive seem people knocked to the ground in muay thai from a good kick to the neck.

wow i leave u all for like 2 weeks and i pop back and the thread i started has turned from the original topic and into something about canabolism! look forward to seeing what more of u have to say.

good luck guys, i look forward to reading the finished products. happy birthday monkey!
