we grade about once every 3-4 months. we have 15 grades from white to black. thats about 4 half years to get black. and whats gonna slow me down even more is that when i go into the seniors class 16+ i go right back to white or yellow. that will add acouple of years. so i will truely earn my black belt. *patience mike only 6 years left*
im reading a very cool/sad/scary book called Sleepers. you may have seen the film? it a very good book. what are you lot reading and what are you favourite books?
thats very intersting and very true. "Someone who bites, scratches, and kicks with every ounce of his strength like a mad man can be the best sparring partner one can have."
spinning back fists are good in a combo say after round kick but you gotta be damn fast or you'll be punches in the back of the head. same with spinning kicks. just my oppinion.
i dont see why you had to make cheap stabs at what she was saying Taikudo-ka. she did nothin to hurt or anoy you. so please keep this post friendly. ps thanks for the email monkeyninja

wow thats kinda scary now. im not to sure about ninjas now. but thanks for all the info. my sempei said something about ninjas never really exsisting and being made up by the shogan to scar the peasants ****less. i dont believe him.
how do i get explosive leg muscles. i know with the arms you do like clapping pushups but i want really fast kicks. and one more thing sorry it doesnt really have much to do with health and fitness but when we were sparring at kickboxing i got lots of kicks in but none of them seemed to hurt him. should i follow through with the kicks? and with side kicks you cant follow through so do i have to get kinda closer? any help i would be thankful for.
i wash my gi quite often usually when it has blood on it. but round the neck it gets quite dirty. i think its good to wash it because its respect to your gi and your martial art. it shows your love for the art.
