I train in other- chidokan karate

At my dojo we also have junior black belts and I believe that that is good way of doing things as well. [ This Message was edited by: Roc on 2002-06-11 08:03 ]

I had quick look through a book thingy that I got when I joined my dojo and there is a head butt in there thats called Men Uchi Tsuki but it has a little star next to it, the only technique with one in the whole book, but I don't know what thats for. It's called a head butt so I guess that's what it is

I do chidokan karate and we practice take downs quite often, though I don't know if they are similar to BJJ or not.

I thought that your shins were the hardest bone in your body??

I do chidokan karate and my sensei teaches small circle principles and techniques when we do locks and stuff, it's very powerful stuff when done correctly.

I was born in a small country town called Renmark in South Australia, Australia. I am currently learn Chidokan karate.

I would really like to learn Muay Thai and BJJ, there used to be a guy at my dojo that taught Muay Thai but unfortunately he left a few years before I joined and it isn't taught anymore . Oh and perhaps some kung-fu if I ever came across a place that teaches it. [ This Message was edited by: Roc on 2002-04-22 09:45 ]

My strongest side is my right side and I feel most comfortable having that side lead, but it all depends on little things on the day for which side I have leading.

I scored myself 67.5% which means I'm Edgy. If your nice to me everythings peachy but if you piss me off watch out!! [ This Message was edited by: Roc on 2002-04-20 11:17 ]

Thanks everybody

Hey, I was wondering does anybody here have a good way to toughen up shins/top of feet?. Whenever I start to kick my boxing bag I can only do between 5-10 before I have to change legs because they start to hurt (abit like when you kick a football without any shoes on). Kicking a kickpad (or whatever they're called) is ok it is only when I kick something reasonably solid, like a boxing bag, that they start to hurt a little. So is there a way to toughen them up or do I have to just keep on kickin and they will toughen eventually?. Cheers in advance.

Thank God I'm not the only one who closes doors with a kick haha

My favourite stance is my free fighting stance which is basically the same as Kokutsu dachi, except my weight is more evenly distributed over both my legs. Or I suppose you could say it's just Kokutsu dachi .

Because where I train it's only a small country town so it costs $35 a month (this is in Australia don't forget so it's about 15-20 US).
