Jeet Kune Do

long time i been here...hey I find that many of my friends who are ineterested in mA, are also interested in Samurai Jack... any of you here?

Oh yeah, target practice does require skill, but for close range murder it doesn't, also I am guessing that a sword fight in real life would only last a few seconds, unlike a movie

I have a keen interest in Medieval Fantasy and Medieval real life, and so naturally I am interested in swords and daggers... I don't like guns because it doesn't require skill to point a gun and shoot, but it requires skill to sword fight...Wars today are fought with guns, not skill. I like watching movies with old sword wars (e.g. Braveheart, The Last Samurai) to know how it was in the old day.

I saw in a martial art science documentary that the sword is the ultimate weapon because unlike a nunchaku for example, it can become 'one' with the swordsman (give some comments about this) but I don't know where to go to learn sword fighting (Not a samurai sword, a regular sword that is straight and was used by English Knights)... Can sword techniques be self taught? (the first person must have learned sword techniques by trial and error and developed them to teach it to others) A sword can Slice, Stab and slit a man, and can block off other weapons like a staff. Should I use Youtube to learn sword techniques? I am particularly interested in the trick where the swordsman flips the sword around his hand or fingers in a full 360 degree turn, how do they do that?

I would only hit a woman if I was in a helpless situation, e.g if a woman backed me up against the wall with a knife, otherwise I dont know how I would hit a woman...mabye throw her to the ground

I don't ever want to be beaten ever, I know what it feels like, Its so humiliating and it hurts more mentally than physically to be beaten. I train to fight a real fight, I am normally more than happy to fight someone who asks for it, it gives me a chance to test my skills and show where I need to improve or learn new moves... I know among all of you that this seems undisciplined and childish or not the wise way. But thats the way life made me, and now I seek to be the ultimate fighting machine using knowledge as well as power.

hmm, yes, I think it did. My punches were strong and in the right form, and the result left a fist shaped bruise on my opponents face... Mabye its just the fancy moves like a backflip kick that wouldnt work, especially if you are grabbed.

Would martial arts really help in a fight? a one on one? I feel that street fighting is its own martial art where its only form is the right way to punch and kick... I have recently been in a Street Fight, but I did not use martial arts. I fought the way to fight, I have learned that fancy moves are a waste of time and that Martial arts is only good for strengthening your body... Seriously, if you have never been in a fight, you rally will not know how it feels until you actually fight...Martial arts is very different and does not feel the same Been a long time since I have been here

its supposed to make you ab muscles hard, i think when the teacher is about to step on you, you begin to tense hard so thatpractice tensing it at the right moment... i would disagree on the female thing, if you have a heavy man step on you then mabye it will make it harder, although im not sure if itsthe same as body building, but your ab muscles do contract...

I would have to see it to believe it

Instead of just Throwing my fist by extending my arm, I throw my whole body behind the fist, ..so I am no punching with my fist, I am puching with my body...my body is the weapon...

(not relevant but) I just bought the Rocky Collection, 1 - 6, Awesome stuff

THats alot of music, I dont listen to too much, only the ones I said an anything else that I like you know...

Survivor song, Burning heart, eye of the tiger, No easy way out, an also other songs, ant pick one, it would be unfair to the others

Well, i would never stand idly by, I would teah the foolish one manners, but i would keep in control so as not to hurt the fool., It would hurt me alot on the inside If I walked away thinking that its no problem, I have done this before and I felt hurt and I stayed up at night thinking about it. So now I Deal with it....Face to Face...

Happy birthday, although its a little late, happy belated B-day then..

I wonder how strong he would be if he had been living longer, because he was amazing strong, stronger than strongmen even

I have got hit bare fisted, so I chew gum to build the muscles in my Jaw and it actually does take alot of the pain away, doesnt hurt so much when I get punched in the face, but it still does hurt

People that are amazed bythis just usually have un-experienced eyes or mind, I think mabye you should have fun with MA and mabye just show off a little, I show off a little myself

I have gained some wisdom..

Like I said, mabye they were not strong enough to cut through a gun Barrel

Punch a punch bag, it should help good

There is a way it can help you in the street, if you train your neck in kung FU, you can get out of armlocks on your neck, If you train all your body parts to be as hard as steel, then your punches could be playing with death...

I looked out of my Window and saw a pigeon, I threw bread at it but all it did was walk away, so I went to go see it and I noticed a broken wing, probably a cat attack... I looked after it for 6 weeks and it comes to my house every day at 4pm to get food, Just felt like telling this story,

I watched a Samurai Jack episode and I learned that although his sword could cut anything (Fictionl unbreakable sword forged by the human spirit), he couldnt cut titanium....why??? Because He wasn't strong enough to cut it, but his sword could, so he wore a robotic strength amplifier and Cut through the titanium robots like butter
