  1. That is interesting. I know the names of DeLiberi, Marozzo, and DiGrassi. They were all Italian fencing masters. There is a rich, and effective, history in the Western martial arts, and I think exploring them in detail can be as beneficial as training in any other style.
  2. Thanks for that info, cross. That makes pretty good sense.
  3. This is true, the two kicks have different striking points. However, the way the two kicks are done is very similar.
  4. She is quite flexible, that is for sure. We have a whole thread on her: http://www.karateforums.com/chloe-bruce-vt29481.html
  5. Hey, you learn something everytime you compete. Thanks for sharing the vid!
  6. https://www.albionarmorers.com https://www.lutel.cz
  7. Keep your hands up to block. Use drawing motions to force him to kick, and then use anlges and footwork to get inside and strike. Watch his body movements as he tries to kick. You should be able to pick up some idea of what he is doing over time. This will help.
  8. That's a bummer, Baron. You can still train, though, so it's all good!
  9. Knees get hit by accident/on purpose all the time I'm sure, but have there been any major injuries that changed the course of a fight because of them?
  10. Bushido Man, there is a third option: open your own school. You teach TKD. Hire a BJJ guy to teach you and others grappling. I'll bet if you were the new MMA school in Hays, they will come. Maybe even hire some college wrestlers to work part time or this summer. Once you start, I'll bet you could grow it. Your own school, brother. Think about it. That is a nice idea, Baron, but I'm not sure how feasible it would be. Startup costs, etc. I have run a school in the past, and I think I could do it. But getting a BJJ guy to come here would be like pulling teeth, I think.
  11. Ahman Green signed with the Texans. I can't remember the contract amount, but that should be a good pick up for them. It now sounds like the Broncos are very interested in a trade with Buffaloe for Willis McGahee.
  12. I would say that you need to move on. Creating weapons forms on your own, with no weapons experience, is not really a good way to learn. I would find a different school. Even though the schools in your area don't offer everything you want, you may be able to find one that is good enough unitl you move. That is what I would do.
  13. Thanks for the information, ravenzoom. That helps to clear things up. It sounds like you are getting some good instruction there.
  14. I tend to agree. The two terms seem to have different connotations. Personally, I like the self-protection clause better.
  15. Heh, good point. Kind of takes the "passive" out of the stance, doesn't it? Another option along with the passive stance would be to back up, if you have room.
  16. I like that saying. It rings true, I think. No point in waiting for it.
  17. Well, I guess Randy and Matt have shown they still have it. Congrats to them.
  18. I agree. Do what you want to do. If these people become a problem, then report them to the authorities. Keep friends around you, and continue to avoid them, as you have been.
  19. Good advise, here. Diet and exercise both will help. If you split your routines, I think you can do both. Lift in the moring, and do cardio at night. Between 20 and 45 minutes of cardio a day will help.
  20. The formation of formless sensation... The aquiring of Deformation through formationlessness....... HAHA, beat that one!
  21. Also, with the Thai rules, wearing shorts makes the knees visible, hopefully helping to make sure the contact to the legs is above the knees. Has anyone ever heard of any Thai fights where a fighter 'missed,' and took out the opponent's knee?
  22. Ooh, I like this! I have very pointy elbows. I have sometimes grabbed the leg and punched the calf, but your way is better and more effective. I do this somewhat, but not to the side as forcefully as you mention. I haven't been very effective at preventing the contact. I will try this. Thanks for the tips, Bushido Man. You are more than welcome, Baron! Let me know how they work out for you.
