MY SHUFFLE WOULD NE THE SAME AS YOUR SLIDE UP, JUST TERMS BUT ITS ALL THE SAME

and the reason he understands them so well is his father is a karate master and he has trained in the traditional concepts for many years, mma is just one mans collection of many styles techniques. so my system of mma would not be the same as yours.

from what i read, he trained goju as well with a korean master and that too could be a good reason. but most jui jitsu styles of Japan have similar stretching

well i was explaining a standing side kick, but we also do a shuffle sidekick, where you quickly shuffle your feet to close a small amount of distance, and a step behind side kick for longer distances.

you should scale back contact no matter what gender it should be based on rank and what you know the certain individual can handle.

if you looked up kyokushin karate history rather then kuk sool won you would see that the founder of kyokushin Mas Oyama was born in korea, this id where he began his study of the martial arts thus that is probably why it is so similar

who do you study under ShawnJ?

i would say the same, the blocking methods and stances are very much alike in shotokan and tkd, niether of which really look like that of a shorinryu stylist. but the kata of shotokan is the same as the kata of shorinryu just with different names and slight variations to meet the stances and concept portrayed in shotokan

i think if you see them in a different light it is kind of the same as disrespecting them completely because they are a woman. in my school i will hit whomever with the amount of force i know that they can handle, (i come from a very hard okinawan style) and have never had a hesitancy to do so. they should be treated as equals and i think when we hesitate it displays that we think they are weaker and cannoy handle it. i dont mean any disrespect just passing on the wisdom that was given to me

are yall talkin about a tkd style side kick where you pivot so that your back leg is your kicking leg? because i am refering to a lead leg side kick. i think the spin makes it too telegraphed, and it isnt taught in my style, i usually see it taught in korean styles never okinawan

well if you say that it has ties to shotokan thrn you also must acknowledge shorinryu which was funakoshis based style, then you must acknowlegde kempo cung fu because it played alot into the devolopment of shorin ryu. all systems i believe cxame from the same place, they are all just inturpratations of what fighting is

we practice alot of foot sweeps once you reach rokkyu in my school. and we are introduced to the balance breaking techniques prior to learning the sweeps. once your rokkyu you should try to end alot of your attacks with sweeps so by the time you make sankyu you are ready to continue on the ground

I don't think that learning every technique is a great idea, either. However, learning combative concepts is important. Not every place will teach the same concepts, either. Learning the concepts standing up and on the ground take a different perspective. very valid point, and furthermore once you understand the concepts of both you should be able to apply ground concepts to the stand up side of fighting as well as stand up to the ground.

In doing the kick this way, is the body presented to the front? Or do you turn the body, but keep the kicking leg in the perpindicular fashion to the ground for both kicks? Or, do you keep your body facing forward for the chamber for both kicks, and then pivot your body to the side if you wish to side kick? I can see the merit in both. I would just like to know which way you go. as you extend your kicking leg your base leg, hips, and shoulders should turn and your body is completely sideways. i would never turn the front of my body towards an opponent during a side kick because it would take the majority of the power away and make it much harder for the heel to be exposed during the entire kick.

jumping ahead alittle is just fine, like reading a book or asking a upper rank for help. but i would not approve of my students learning a kata that is way beyond their appropriate level, because it will make it hard to fix the mistakes they learned incorrectly

i believe its not the style that you must master but the concepts of combat. the rest is just thinking in motion, you must be able to strategize. that is the key to mastery, not learning ever technique ever created

really all you need is a basic front kick, punch and straight block to be an effective fighter. less is more, my syatem only has maybe 30 techniques, learning a tornado kick really has no value for combat. its not how many techniques you know its how you employ them against an opponent.

the way i have always been taught is that a front kick and a side kick have the exact same chamber, that being the knee raised in front of the body. the reason we do this is because at any point during the execution of the kick the heel is exposed and will damage the target. if it is chambered in the way you describe the heel is only exposed during the last quarter of extension. the problem being if you are rushed during extension your knee will either be trapped against your body or you risk breaking your toes. having the leg in front will make the heel make contact at any point during the extension of the technique.

my teacher founded his own art based on the training he has had. as of now i am the highest ranking student and would like to inherit the system(it is not a made up system, it has proven itself against many traditional arts and passed with flyimg colors) not everyone has the chance to carry on a art as the headmaster and thats what i strive for, realistic or not.

for most shodan is it, yes. but you can usually tell who will stay based on their want to teach. because when you get down to it martial arts is mostly about passing the traditions of your art on to others, keeping the art alive. so those that strive to pass on the art will be the ones who will progress as high as they can, not just for themselves but so they can pass on as much as possible to their students.

i think if mma is what you want to do you need to practice something a little harder than point sparring, kyokushin karate is hardcore and if you can make it through a tournament alive then you may be able to do mma, i am lucky to teach in a gym that doubles as a mma gym so i get alot of training on the side from the fighters and was fortunate to get to exoerience there fighting abilities during my shodan test. also if thats what you want go to a mma gym and watch the fighters, see the dedication it takes to make it. ask questions! mma fighters are some of the most humble and helpful people i have met and will have no problems with this

pinan shodan, pinan nidan, matsumura bo shodan, seisan, wansu, naihanchi shodan, bo nidan, naihanchi nidan, ananku, nunchaku shodan, ananku sai, passai sho, pinan sandan, naihanchi sandan, chinto shodan, kama shodan, passai dai, chinto nidan, and tonfa shodan. plus all the drills and such, and you have certain basics that come with green, brown and black belt

one steps should have some pain involved for conditioning, but it shouldnt be real severe. and if you are a petite female and he is a big guy you may just be real close when he affects his counter and you havent figred out your distancing, typical at your level but at his level he should have a grasp of proper distance

Okinawan? Wouldn't that make it Naihanchi??? Ah, its semantics, isn't it?? For my TKD style, I think Choong Moo. exactly only japanese styles use the name Tekki, Naihanchi is the okinawan name and the okinawan kata are much different from the mainland styles

well in that case i see nothing wrong with hard contact to the arms, if my students approach me with that i would tell them to suck it up or make him feel what you feel. if i ever told my instructor that i felt the contact was to hard to my arms he would personaly beat my arms until i couldnt use them anymore
