Wow. That's terrible. Was she ok?

I agree with you here. I think it is important to cross-train in other methods, even if they are not relevant to your practice. The reason being is that sometimes, you just have to shake things up so your body doesn't get too used to doing the same old routine. It also makes it more fun for you.

I'm not sure. There are some big tournaments, but I don't know if there are seminars quite this big, though.

That's a good question as well. Maybe he is really good, but its just his methods are bad?

I may get in touch...! If I ever get to go, I'll hold up a big sign that says "bushido_man96".

This guy is so far over the line he can't even see the line no more. The line is a dot to him! (joey from Friends). This isn't normal no more. He could get arrested for it I think..? Tom In the U.S., he probably would be arrested. In other countries, I am not sure if a school like this would fall under normal laws, or be self-regulated. What country does he teach in, I wonder?

That is great stuff, Doug. It's cool to see that kind of cross training going on.

I have yet to try it out. Wednesday is conditioning day, so we shall see.

That is not a problem I would have. The ground is not my friend.

That's cool. I have heard of many football lineman also using wrestling skills in the pits, there. Good reasons for both.

Wow. I would come to class with a stick myself, I think.

Well you never know... it might be the next be thing in tournaments I do it at times...then I look to see the expression of the face of my opponent to change.

Welcome to KF! What style are you getting into?

Hmm, were they referring to the person wearing his helm, though? I can't remember exactly. I may have to start reading, after all.

The Eagles come out on top. Can they beat the Saints next week? And how about the Pats, returning to their old form. Remember at the beginning of the year, when everyone thought they had lost too many starters, and weren't going to be the same? The system there works, that is for sure.

Just think of it as being "lower maintenence!" Getting to the point of no maintenance too It seems kind of funny....there are those with hair, who shave it, and those without, who want it.

We can't get much here, either. One hundred miles west of here, though, my folks have 30". I am jealous.

I was born in Norton, Kansas, USA.

Good luck to you!

You are right, they are no substitue for a teacher, however, depending on your skill level, you can still garner some learning from them, and they are great for visual reference.

This is very solid advice, not only for this topic but for self defence in general. This is good advise, when it comes to combat. I think the initial thread is about a testing scenario, but that doesn't make this advise any less good. Actually, this is how you would want to do it, I think. Great advise, MizuRyu. With this advise in mind, it is important that one does not get into the trap of assuming that one technique will take out one person in a multiples situation such as this. Most likely, it won't. Many people can take more than one shot, so you have to be prepared to blast at one, and watch for the others. Getting one off of his feet would be helpful, so you could turn for a second to concentrate on another.

It doesn't really matter where you hit them. If you aren't in school, and the police is contacted, both will most likely go to jail for fighting. If you send them to the hospital, however, that is when it gets worse for you.

Yep. I still have mine back home! Maybe some day I'll get it here. I remember the game Final Fight as well. I loved it too. They had it on the old Sega CD. Great game.

Quite true, Kerry!

That's a nice idea, but if you decide to always wait to get hit, one day, you will get hit.
