I would see a Doctor or an Exercise Physiologist about this. They may have better advise for you.

That was a good backfist! What were the stoppages about, anyways?

Well, that doesn't always go for any tournament. At the TKD tournaments that I compete at, we are expected to do the form for our rank. We don't get to choose which form we get to do. That way, everyone is judged on the same form, or the one below the rank we do.

Question for any form/kata/patterns etc. judges
bushido_man96 replied to DWx's topic in Instructors and School Owners
To be honest, I've only ever seen it in mixed tournaments, particular any XMA style stuff. Its just a way of making you stand out I guess... I have never done it this way, either. I bow when they give the command to bow, and then begin my form when they give the command to begin. In the tourneys I have attended, the judges pretty much new what forms we would be performing, and therefore it wasn't necessary to address the form to the judges. -
Um.. thanks You are very welcome!

It won't..it only gets worse! Hey, it has passed for me....

I agree with your explanation here. That is how I prefer to set it up. When we practice it, it is usually with a side step or some other footwork involved. We try to make the footwork controlled, so that we can stay within distance to deliver a follow-up attack.

Aikido vs. Kickboxing?
bushido_man96 replied to ps1's topic in Choosing a Martial Art, Comparing Styles, and Cross-Training
I don't buy into that one at all. The pace would be a LOT faster, and a lot less scripted, probably with a lot more weapons. -

It seems very choreographed to me. Some of the moves do look very elaborate. They look nice, and would be fun to learn. What bothers me, though, is that the defensive movements are done only against one technique; there are no combination movements by the attacker. I don't know how well that low kick defense would work against a more committed kick. -
In the ATA, they follow a story much like that, using the Pine Tree as the symbol. Very good point, NightOwl.

Yes, basically the went from a newspaper format to a magazine format. They are also going to a glossy paper format for the whole magazine wivh ups the cost to 7.95 but still worth it. BTW Any one with an extra copy of issue 11 CFA? I moved and missed that issue in the process. Thanks. I picked up a copy of CFL this weekend, and I look forward to reading it. I saw in the back where you can get the back issues of Dragon Times, but was disappointed to find out that the issue with the Historical Appraisal of TKD was sold out.

Yeah, I know what you mean. A lot of rear-leg kickers will put more weight on their front leg, so they can fire off of the back faster. I like to use my hands as well, so I stay pretty balanced, I guess.

brown belt

Very well done! -
Thats for sure. Unfortunatly most schools that preach awareness rarely do anything to enhance it within the students. I think that it is something that I would mention more often, and spend time with, if I could, in the class setting. One thing is for sure; I keep it in mind a lot more now with my line of work.

Clothes...........
bushido_man96 replied to Rainbow_Warrior's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
That backpack may offer extra protection for attacks to your back as well. Something to think about. It is important to practice from time to time in scenarios where you are wearing clothes like you have listed. That way, you will know what you can and cannot do. Get together with some friends, and do some role-playing with it. See what you learn. -
I've never heard. I know a couple police officers and I'll try to remember to ask them. That's interesting. I personally don't see the difference, but I'm not the law.I think it's because you can cause significantly more damage with a kick than with a punch. I don't think that can actually stick. I have never heard of it before. It may just be somebody talking without really knowing the situation.

Best advise: Go see a doctor. Have them examine it, or get a physiologists to look at it. They will know a lot better than we can guess. For the time being, rotate ice and warm compresses.

Congratulations!
