okinawan styles

yeah i believe traditional jap weapons are used

bo all the way

bo all the way

i believe in pairs

just do your forms and stuff slow and get muscle memory down so you wont hit yourself

i say a wooden because if you mess up with a blade you can hurt your self real bad

me and a friend made one for a competition and made sure it was a practical form so that it would fit our style

learn bo first it is a very good way to learn fundimentals

no point i hurting someone that bad if they are unarmed

i say whip chain cause its longer

i think kali and escrima are the same, i know that they are brazilian arts

my sensei said to do it everyday

ive sween people do it in competitions

when your sparring it helps condition you, and in our school we have a class about every three months devoted to conditioning, we strike each other with different strikes all over the body and over time it start to not really hurt at all and its pretty cool. when you remember how much it hurt at first and now it doesnt hurta t all really

you cant really condition the face to take the impact of a punch, you can train yourself to be able to deal with the pain of it though

thats a toughy, i will ask my teacher when i go to class if he knows a good one

ok a elder gives advice and helps with leadership, so he should understand what your problem is if you just explain it to him

at your local martial arts shop they would probably let you put up a flier

i know a 2nd dgree in tkd thats in the same boat, hes being promoted to 4th degree because hes been a 2nd degree for like ten years

ja is right i think there probably is more that we dont know about

"if you want to get a black belt that bad than you can go to a martial arts store and spend ten dollar and then maybe you can beat off an attacker with it" thats what ive heard my instructor tell us about people that just want to fly through it. in my school it should take you about four to five years to achieve a black belt, but people in my school that are only half way to black belt have already fought in tournys against black belts and held their own. if you train hard enough, the color of your belt aint gonna matter much

oh so your a 6th kyu, you should probably start to work on lateral movements and making wiser decisions when sparring. dont be the aggressor, draw them into you and make them do what you want them to do and when you see your shot take it. controling them is the key to fighting, if you cant control your attacker you will never have a sure chance of winning the fight

but i wouldnt do this unless your life was in serious trouble, and its a last resort
