use things around you to fight against weapons, in okinawa, farmers used stuff around the farm, hence the creation of the bo, comma, nunchaku, tonfa, and sais, and they used these things to defend themselves against samurais, im sure that you know something about a bo, so just look around, also, if you know how to use thhem, escrima stick work really well against them

blocking drills really can improve them, when i started karate i had to think through each block and movement i did, and now i dont think about it at all, it just happens, so try some blocking drills

lol that would be the obvious answer...to stop hitting things...but if you dont work out your hand and arm your punches could fail you...my suggestion is to get something that you could punch that doesnt hurt your hand and as you progress you can move to harder things

and no you couldnt...because some people at the same skill level could know different things...my friend and i are at the same fighting level and i know more than him, but that doesnt make me better than him at fighting

it really depends on the swordsmen, if they were truly master swordsmen then the fight could last a long time, think about it, if they were masters they would know how to parry every movement, but that also means it could take a short while, it depends on the swordsmen fighting

just practice blocking drills

all competitors have to sign a waver saying that if they get hurt its there fault, there is really no law on that just make sure you got everything set up, on the cash thing, i dont know, but i think that is free game

it was a point break fight, the score was 8-5, with me as the winner, but this guy i fought, fought like a true champion, he was so good and he hurt me a couple of times, hell the tournament wasnt really a place where you got hurt, no tournament ive been too have been, but this guy hurt me and i was so happy, i hope i get to fight this guy again but, if we were continuous sparring, it would be close...very close

katas are good because it helps you with movement, and if you train with a heavy bag that can work on your strength....

it all depends on the tournament, dome are looking for flashy forms, and some are looking for strong ones, but mostly nowadays there looking for flashy ones with large movements and yells and screams everywhere, but they got to be loud, and there are some tournaments that offer two divesions, one for hard forms (the ones that need to look strong,) and soft forms (the flashy one)

you got it right man, it all depends where your coming from ya know, like the okinawans have a different type of japanese called okinawan, it all depends

weell yeah but its smart to wait till you have a higher rank in something but still...if you start another system when your a higer rank, then it would be smart to start another one cause that would further your fighting abilitys, right?

lol yeah i like in it, and hell we should be intimidated, a lot of girls in karate will progress faster because of there lowered center of gravity, it allows em to master things faster cause of alll the stance anything uses...

yeah taai chi is pretty damn deadly at sometimes

well, for fighting...but it distracts the attacker and nowadays if you packed a couple of those, it would confuse them, if you know how to use em there pretty damn dangerous, and i think its called a steel fan

a long sword, but thats just me...

Tonfas all the way, and hooks sword, and the oar, is called ekku, i also love the bo, and strait sword, katana, and also broad swords

kubudo, but thats a system that learns all weapons, so, look into that

yeah, i forgot to tell ya...for one, back kicks are the strongest you can throw, and your adding a lot of force when you turn correctly, so turning back kick all the way!!!

turning back kick is the strongest in my book

escrima sticks get used a lot because you can convert a lot of things into them, also a bo could be used a lot

um i think its smart...i mean his book makes so much sense and look at him, he domanated with em, so yeah, that would be smart....

There are a lot of schools that just give people belts that dont deserve it, cause they havent earned it. I want to know what yall think about that cause, its stupid for them, it gives people false hope if they didnt earn it. What do yall think

ya feel better fighting him cause hes your friend and hes not gonna try to kill ya

lol nice, take out the guys knee, break it, but if someone pulls a knife on ya run, cause thhey can control it, but if someone pulls a gun... no use in running, charge him, cause nine times out of ten, the guy will get nervous, also...hit his throat, it will weakin the guy
