Prodigy-Child

im gonna have to agree with karateka on this one but in my opinion the best and strongest martial arts for me is my kickboxing for striking and my jiu jitsu and judo for throwing locking and grappling!

when doing a spinning kick you gotta look at your target and then kick so when you spin and your back is facing your target you should be looking at your target by then and then kick

shouldnt the navy be training you in unarmed combat themselves?

music is ok while warming up as long as it isnt dance/techno music........they have music playing in the cardio kickboxing class......i dont really like it that much but its good for a warm up but i dont really need a certain type of music to keep myself going during a workout i just put on music while im working cuz i dont like silence

no

the disrespect for the arts is usually just outta ignorance or the plain and simple fact that the person cant do it themselves and deby i dont think all GUYS equate the martial arts with who can beat the crap outta the other person............it is a way of life for me in particular and it is way more then learning out to break bones and kicking and punching

if ya wanna start your kid at 3 years old thats good.......but good luck with trying to make them stick with it by the time they hit the age of about 12 or 13.......alot of kids phase it out and ive seen it happen many a time personally if i ever have kids im gonna start them off at around the age of 10 i started when i was about 12

listen im a great fan of micheal jordan but i dont know why he retires from the court then comes back and then retires and now thinking of coming back.......if he loves the game that much why did he leave in the first place?

i do martial arts because of the challenges it offers me and my life is better cuz of the arts.............i didnt have much of a life before training in the martial arts before the age of 13 so for me its just life

this has kinda been a contreversial issue.........many people think this shouldnt happen........but i think it should if pilots have weapons then there probobly would never be hostage situations and hijackings cuz i think that the hijackers would surrender before they cause a fire fight in the air and other people say that guns arent a good idea because the possiblity of a bullet puncturing the passenger cabin and loosing air pressurisation but it isnt like the movies they say that the cabin could probobly take the impact of a bullet if we arent gonna give the pilots guns then why dont we have some armed air marshalls on the planes....people complain about the cost but ill tell ya this much if i have to pay an extra $100 or $200 then ya know what ill shell out that much cash if it means my safety and the safety of my friends and family! think about it!

no offence you you rushman but please do not talk to me about dictatorships and living under them...........i was born in canada but my parents are of east indian decent and i have lived in india for about 6 months and in the kashmiri region in which pakistan and india are still fighting over.........i have had a taste of the oppression that my people have faced and i have been beaten up by local thugs in that region because some smart ass decided to go and tell them i am sikh (most people cannot tell because i do not wear a turban) .......i know what it is like to live in countries like that and i am thankful for living in the free world and since i do live in the free world i will say how i feel........

ive been an addict before.......its none of your business what i was addicted to but anyway i have been there and human will and perseverance is stronger then any substance so i dont buy that!

kickboxing can be useful in a self defense situation but only to a certain extent. maybe you'll get in a few shots but what if they tackle you to the ground and they are on top of you! no roundhouse is gonna help ya there......if you really wanna learn how to defend yourself effectivly take up arts that teach you how to defend from being grabbed tackled and pushed some examples are: jiu jitsu (my art along side with kickboxing) judo (i do a bit of that as well) hapkido brazillian jiu jitsu ( a bit of experiance there for me)

not really a great idea

just give it time it'll come along dont push it just let it flow trust me!

i wanted Trinidad to win.......he is my fav. boxer but it is unfortunant that he lost but he still is my fav! im a loyal guy i gotta stick with him!

i have an equal respect and love for stand up and ground.......but in a street fight id really like to keep on my feet because im only 5'8 and 135lbs and i get crushed alot but i can still take care of myself on the ground

ditto

also i might add that canadians are just friendly un-armed americans!

ok now people be really really really honest with me........for all the competitive people in the martial arts how much does your training cut into your social life for me between working, school and training i have NO time for dating or hanging out with my buddies......its kinda put a cramp in dating for me but that is a very small price to pay just as long i am healthy enough to fight nothing else really matters... what about you?

i hope i dont offend anybody here but i personally think that bush is a complete moron! he is a bafoon! the only reason why he got that job is cuz his old man was president! thats just my opinion

ya know what man........just ease yourself into kickboxing dont hit it that hard cuz you are just gonna get hurt and u are gonna get discouraged......so just take it easy

my senseis are great my jiu jitsu sensei is also my kickboxing coach and we have another sensei who teaches us judo and he also has a black belt in jiu jitsu, hapkido, taekwondo, kendo and the list goes on and on...........he is a very experianced grappler and in judo and i guarentee he can take anybody off their feet and flat on to their ass.......

pure solid aggressiveness is the key! enter with kicks..............blitz with punches........and exit with a kick

.........word!
