That's the way it is at my dojo.

I think he means to use karate to open up a can o' woop @$$!

Interesting topic. Ithink a good combo is traditional Karate and traditional jj.

pretty cool.

Yes my sig is my style, and Okinawan Karate uses mostly hand , kicks and sweeps are for a really good technique. As my instructor tells us,:punch behind your block, punch behind your jab, and punch behind your kick.

What is the diff between Shorei Ryu, Shorin ryu, and Shorinji ryu? How about Kempo and Kenpo? Chi gung and Chi kung? Gung fu and Kung fu?

If you burn more calories than you take in, you lose weight, period. People with slow matabolisms need to eat less. And excercise more,

Sai fights, I am curios as to how yo train. I mean weight lifting, arobics, katas, sparring? What is MS? I know that is probably a stupid question. Does it hinder you much?

Searcher is correct.

I am 14, 5'10", 135 lbs. I can bench 170-175.

If you want to fight, here is my rule. A powerful person should do striking, especially if they have a long reach. A person that is not very powerfull, but has alot of raw strength, should do grappling. For strikers, hard or soft, like Karate or Kung fu, just go with what is more comfortable.

I don't know alot about shotokan. Is it Okinawan or Japanese? I much prefer Okinawan.

I agree with Martial_Artist. If you do it to compete, you are an athlete. If you do it to exersize, you are excersizing. But if you do it to learn to fight, you are a true martial artist.

I agree with AnonymousOne , some exciting goals are needed for motivation.

I like Jin because he is the one who kills the god of fighting (Ogre), he is in both the Kazama and Mashima bloodlines, and he has the devil gene.

If your looking for a good straight anser takke Wing Chun. Sorry bout the spelling, Im trying to listen to Outkast and Sublime while typing.

Now that I have your attention, If someone was to choose between Wing Chun or Jeet Kune Do for reasonable street defence, what would be the better choice? How visual or exiting they are makes no difference, just the street defence. What do think?

Mine is Jin with Bryan as a close 2'nd.

My fav is arena style games.(tekkan, mortal combat.)

Who is everyones fav charactor?

possibly but no way could you ever be as good as Jin! But really, if you got really great balance, I think you could do alot of that stuff.

sorry, I thought chi kung was Japanese,(ki) rather than Chinese(chi).

Tyson dind't stand a chance against Lewis either, but he's still my fav boxer.

If you were going to make a hybrid martial art, which styles would you use and why? I would use: Okinawan Karate-striking Brazillian jui-jitsu-ground fighting Judo-grappling Ki Kung-energy manipulation. I just thought this was an interesting topic.

The hardest bone and the strongest bone could be 2 different things. Glass is very hard but not strong.
