unknownstyle

i heard he was a great instructor too, and his school is supposed to ahve some great continuous contact fighters.

has anyone evr been to one?

i wear a century gi and turtle masterline gloves, we dont wear all the rest of the equitment. we do heavy conditioning

make everything blend in to gether, you will process their movements twice as fast. think of it like when a sniper is looking for a target, he doesnt look in a specific area but in a wide view that way he notices the movemnet

the forms ive seen done with them remind me of bo techniques

i saw the same show, i would think out of a martial arts store would probably be your best bet

we dont paya dime for test and stuff at my school either, our teacher takes a offering once a month and that keeps stuff rolling

i also agree that it is probably not all that effective on the street, it could be if they paid more attention to self defense instead of being all about tournament

it is a podcast show on martial arts if you want to check it out go to KarateKast.com

your teacher is just spicing up things with other knowledge hes aquired, i dont think there is one systems that is taught exactly the same as the master of old times taught it. theres no use for it to be exactly the same, times change so your self defense must change at the same time

belt doesn't matter, your not goin around telling people your a black belt, its just a color. i know plenty of people who aren't black belts but have more skill than one. as long as your not trying to be something your not its all good

has anyone heard an episode

17 forms before black, and not sure after that

green belt? 6th kyu shorin ryu

which is the dominant for both self-defense and sparring techniques

my friend is seventeen, not sure about the other guy

i wouldn't see a problem, unless this tournament was for a specific style

i know he was a spiritual person, and he prayed i think. and he probably meditated

thats a something that you learn at probably like third kyu in my school

woo hoo shorin ryu is awesome, make a mocie and tell me about it

you could come and be my student if you wanted to do all that stuff for your master

not sure which one have to ask sensei

if you go to karatekast.com and listen to episode 7, gm pat burleson talks about when he was training with bruce lee and they went to chinatown and some gangbangers came up and started talking about how bruce was a fake and gm b punched him out and bruce was very upset that he did that, so you may have loyalty to your sensei, but is he going to be happy that you are fighting

i say it isnt working if theres no pain

yeah, our sensei doesnt look at him self as higher than us, just knows a few more things
