It took me 4 years to get to black belt in the kyokushin style. What kyu level is yellow belt in your style?

Ok.

Of course style matters! Thats like saying a random guy on the street could beat a 5th dan black belt, he "just needs to fight well enough".

Really? Where in vic?

I didnt know we were including stripes aswell, but i suppose it makes sense.

Here is a good page of information on Wado Ryu karate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wado_Ryu

Cetainly has come along way. KF 2001: http://web.archive.org/web/20010606133512/http://www.karateforums.com/

Im still working on getting that section up.

Welcome. How long have you been doing TKD?

Im not sure how sparring works in kung fu, but just one way that may help: say you want to get a high kick in, do heaps of low kicks and middle punches and lower the opponents focus.

Thanks for that

Hahaha

Auchtung Erin! (sorry its all i know...)

I chose 1-2, but i usually only do about 20-30min. Thats gonna increase aswell for me in the near future.

I dont know if it was any particular style. The only technique you see him teaching is those blocks. And the punch of course.

Good idea.

All good posts.

I also vote NO for music during training.

And in the ring.

Ive read the word "grapple" so many times now its lost meaning

So is it true what i said??

Thanks for the post ravenzoom. I think maybe i will look into doing a bit of bjj or judo later on. ATM im training hard for my nidan but definetly a thing for the future.

I wish. Thank god that isnt true.

Mas Oyama...if he was still alive.
