i got into MAs because i went and watched my mate at jujitsu and it looked good so i started goin then my love for them grew.......

madness

a harder bag will condition your hands/feet better but they will hurt more when you first start out with it.

yes, foam 'chucks are a must when you bigin. ive had some nasty things happen with wooden once and then hitting my head really hard.

no but id love to

oh no. things dont look good for us guys

i can imagine forward ukemi for 20 minutes could get pretty bad. oow what about backward ukemi for 20 minutes! that would suck rather badly

thats a good idea KSN its good to see something to work for.

well done it sounds like a really cool celebration! but as people have said smelly accidents are most definitly not the way to go.

yeah i hate when you drink before/during class and you can feel and hear it slooshing around inside your stomach.

yeah i agree with Niel

seems kinda weird but hay, im sure theres a reason.

im in a position i feel comfortable in. i used the spider guard for the first time today, put some dude into an bicep lock.

i wouldnt mind getting one, but that aint gonna happen. i just use my bro to push my legs apart into a box splits.

we are with the ITF under the UKTA which is run by GM Rhee, one of Gen. Chois' best students.

i keep them up all the time. unless im just working on a bag or something where i go for maximum power and speed.

kicks to the inner thigh are really painful! you can give someone a bad dead leg with that. one of the reasons i am glad we cant kick below the belt in sparring.

ive heard of that, but i have no idea what it does. anyone care to enlighten me?

im not sure but have you thought about asking your instructor or fellow student?

yeah when you first start you get bashed about abit, but you will get used to it. keep on trying and good luck.

resently ive started to "improvise" abit more when grappling. ive been working with the position im in rather then trying to get into a different one. (if you get me)

good point there G95

what kinda music are they?

im a crestnut tree

one of the signs of a Mcdojo.....is the teaching any good there? if you got 6 months id sit back and enjoy the ride, you never know you might get into it.
