the proper name for the oar would be ekku though

we're never really taught stances other than one that are used in katas, our stance for our sparring purely depends on you

i think the katas should have a clear definition in the hard aspects and the soft but it should also have a great deal of grace as well as proper technique

there all practical its just your reaction is off

in my school it is white blue 1 stripe 2 stripe green 1 stripe 2 stripe brown 1 stripe 2 stripe black 1 through 5 dan red and white 6 through 8 dan red 9 and 10 dan

awesome, in my style that is a blue with one stripe and you learn your first weapon

my favorite to do is seisan the shorin ryu way and favorite to watch is naihanchi sho and chinto

is anyone in shorin ryu

could have negitive and positive effects on him

i say you take some sort of okinawan style that it real close to the roots, so it has all the real techniques. a good one is matsamura seito shorin ryu or matsabayashi shorin ryu

a low side kick to the side of the knee is how my instructor showed us

i think you should ask your instructor what he/she thinks about this, then you should be able to figure out what is the right thing to do

go to https://www.karatekast.com and listen to episode one or two and my sensei has a lot to say about those types of techniques, and also in episode four he talks about forms that contain these technigues

thats awesome i love when somene take what someone already know and uses it to make whatever their teaching better

ive got up in church to pray and automatically went to ready position like i was going to bow out of class, and ive done it many times since

i love the fact that girls do martial arts its just cool that girls do it to. i think i would rather go out with a girl in the martial arts more than another because of the common understandings we would share

our teacher has taught us to have fear when we're fighting, and that fear is for the person that we're fighting is goin to get hurt. so ive never been in a situation where i had to use it, but if i did i would surely fear for my opponent

i dont think there is a age that is too young or too old, im 16 and been taken out by younger and older its just how determined you are really

you start to notice thing you normally wouldnt after awhile, i find myself constantly looking around and always observing my surroundings, is that what you mean?

i pay nothing for my training, and my school is one of the best in the area i live in, so the saying you get what you pay for doesn't really apply

what are your feelings on someone starting a system of their own, do you think it is abandoning their roots or enhancing them?

you just have to have harmonious balance with all the things in your life and you will truly know how dedicated you are to it

i would say that shorin ryu is a art that would be very good in mma

thats pretty much impossible, if there were there would be one system and one alone, all have a history for what they are used for. just some arent practical anymore

ufc is really a great way to see how some techniques can be applied in a practical way
