mean fighter

never underestimate nayone there no mater what style. But just to let you know I do ITF TKD, and we like to come from odd angles, also what divesion are you in.

Sorry my mistake

you are so evil

Yes please

What do you mean withuot any real training?

I know that there is alot of male martial artist out there would not resort to dirty tactics to win a fight. The reason of this is because I talk to my other friends that are and that arent martial artist that say they would never scrach or bite against an opponent in a street fight that was choking or squeezing them. The question I would like to know is,: Are male martial artist so different from females in a street fight.

welll I.M.O bieng hard on yourself can be a good and bad thing like sometimes bieng hard on yourself can push you to be better in your art. But you should never be so hard onyourself to the point like you cant do anything right or drop iut of your art.

I went to a martial arts tournament and I was getting ready to spar. since Im seventeen I got to spar the older adults and there was an old man with thick glasses (like bug eyes) that was going up against a guy who was probably half his age and laughing at his opponent, his felow students were laughing at the old man. when the fight began the younger fighter came at the old man with a front kick, the old man doged to the side and delivered a strong jumpig revers sidekick to the side of the other guy s head and knocked him down and out for two minutes . Another question I would like to know is that, has anyone ever used this sort of thing to there advantage in a tournament or in a street fight.

Yes that is an excellent explanation also in ITF there is the draw back of the hips, that also ads power and speed. in the ITF we use simple physics to our art that gives us a dramatic difference in speed and power.

I have seen a black belt be taken away in my school, three weeks ago during BB class my instructor kept shouting at a fellow student that was in colledge. he was a 2nd degree bb and he wasnt doing a techneque right finally my instructor walked over and took his belt and told him to go home hes still working to get it back

I think this is a great idea

Call me paranoid or somethin but doesent any one else have personal space that no one is allowed to enter. (like total complete strangers) If I am walking down the street and if the other person is walking towords me I walk around, him with a friendly smile of coarse

Also IM not sure if this is just a myth but have you guys heard that this one martial art is mostly preffered around police officers

Like where does it draw its power from? like wave motion, or hips drawing back.

sorry to make tou mad buddy its just that there was post earlier that said something about being sewed if cought doing a form in without bieng regestered.

why is the ATA so very private it seems to me as some kinda country martial arts club (Not to be rude of course)

I personelly train 2 hours with my off days from work and MA class. but I find for me that training under music gets me into a rythem especially when Im training with the bag.

well I had a class last thurs and my instructor says that the basics are mostly what will save your life on the street. what do you guys think

but what is WTFs bases though

Yeah well this tournament is pretty big and people are romuered to be noticed in this MA event

I was wondering, does Aikido relly never make the first move And what are there principles

Its says what he does right at styles. under his user name

Yeah we do but the tournament that I went to said TKD tournament, even thought other styles participated in it. the reson I didnt do any kneeing was because in the rules it said no knees or elbose. Even though He kneed me he got the point because he convinced the judges that he was doing a front kick and his knee reached me instead

sorry missed typed what I ment was that mixing TE in your own style is ok. I wasnt talking about crossbreeding other styles.

Is there really a TKD magazine out thier?! If so what doese relly feature mostly ads like BB magazine or is it really about training tips and Tournaments listings.
