i agree with Jax_Evolution you only have two choices, quit MA or practice more and focus or you can wait for somebody to make a time machine for you practice harder and u'll get there, ur only practicing for a year man, patience!

u heard a lot of "it depends" already but i try to go 3 times a week, otherwise i feel like im wasting time and money

that's what he started off practicing in the first place.. JKD is more like being able to adapt in certain situations. my idea of JKD now is it's just an idea that you have to keep in mind, but its not a style or anything. Lee knew wing chun, now he's studen Dan Insonato knows escrima, kali and so forth so in his case it's not intercepting fist anymore, u know what i mean? it probably depends on ur foundation

im not too familiar with the chinese culture and this is why im asking, but what i understand is families take over and force everybody to be their way, and be loyal to them, and i was wondering if during those periods some martial arts developed either by rebels or by the royal family.

hahaha, learn humility man ur going around telling poeple "i already had good manners" haha go back to ur MA class and learn something im just playing by the way, no offense

I'd appreciate it if u put some info, or a link to an article about the style

yah this guy's crazy they said he used no strings in ong bak thanks for pointing this out

is Ong-Bak the muay thai movie that you can only watch if u have it "mute" or else u go deaf? i like the fighter there, i like people who barely talk

what's Sifu Martin Lawrence's style?

i would suggest you go to the schools and try them for a week each, or a day or just look at them training or something. also, i suggest when you go to school to bug and annoy the masters and teachers with questions and make sure you know who's going to teach you actually.. it all depends what you like, but if Wing Chun is one of ur options i wouldnt even look at the rest! that's just me tho.

the website looks nice but it cannot tell you if the school is good or bad go there and tell them you want to try them for a couple of weeks with no commitment first. then make sure you know every single detail about the style, the school, the tuition, the programs in detail. they tend to not tell you anything about the tuition sometimes, and when you ask they say "we're getting way ahead of ourselves" but if u dont want surprises make sure you know everything in details. i noticed that there's only 5 or 6 peeps in their classes (looking at the pictures) hmm? good luck

does anybody know which martial arts come from which chinese dynasty?

Jiujuitsu hapkido mantis kung fu running-away-if-possible hide-your-head-ostrich-style!

or google

the problem is i eat to survive, there's no way I can make my meals smaller and survive!! im as skinny as u can get, but with stupid fat around my stomach (just a little tho, but still!!) but i'll keep doing what im doing, keep training

have you guys heard of "eBay"?

sorry that was a double post just put it in the wrong place before

does anybody here live in CA? how do you have a punch bag in your house? if i put one the ceiling will collapse!!! what do you guys use for practicing kicks and punches? (your answer shouldnt have the word "hanging from the ceiling")

dont u have a little bro?

usually each retailer has their own size charts... you also might want to get a combo, for example pants size 5, and top size 4.. or something

congratulations im impressed

with all due respect i do not agree with that at all for me it's a question of whether ur trained or not trained maybe boxers train more tho hehe

hey, is there anyway we can put up pictures here? like those kitten's pix?

heh i heard about a guy who brought a mantis and fought with it.. speaking of animal abuse! who defends a mantis man, who?

what's the joy when you work out and feel nothing the day after? if u work out ur abs and dont get sore go back and do ur work out
