martial arts team in school(public schools)
bushido_man96 replied to jj19902003's topic in Instructors and School Owners
It will be quite a challenge. It is always difficult to convince people to pay more money for more things. But in the end, it will all be worth while. -
Good luck. See you soon!

There are a multitude of hand techniques available to the TKD practitioner, and there are many shown in General Choi's encyclopedia. The forms have mostly hand techniques and blocking techniques in them.

Deflecting is great against thrusts, but when it comes to cuts, you have to block or evade them.

Being attacked with a katana, what would you do?
bushido_man96 replied to Myth's topic in Martial Arts Weapons
Stay out of range until he over commits. I would look for a shield of some kind to defend and attack with. When he over commits, I would attempt to control the weapon arm, and procede to smash the face or anything else to slow them down. -

Excellent. I haven't gotten a new book in a while, let me know if it is any good. Thanks. Will do. -
The Martial Athlete vs. the Martial Artist
bushido_man96 replied to Hanzou's topic in Health and Fitness
this assumes that the martial athlete has inferior skill to the martial artist. quite possibly a wrong assumption. where in indiana are you? I've got family in hammond, gary and nap, so I am there on a pretty regular basis. Well, I don't think anyone is untouchable. That is a pretty bold statement to make. Even the best fighters in the world get hit. And the athlete can adapt just as well as an artist can. They both train in strategy, and are probably pretty close in that regard. -
It sounds like you went a little overboard there. You should definitely apologize, and be thankful that a brawl didn't break out. Things could have gotten nasty. We all make mistakes. It is how we learn.

I think I like the sound of 1 and 1/2 hour classes the more I hear about them. -
Fighting Bob Sapp
bushido_man96 replied to bushido_man96's topic in Pro Fighting Matches and Leagues
As you can see, that is all easier said than done, though. -
I had a goof on my post above. I meant Jean Jaques Machado, and not Gracie. My bad.

I think Tekken 5 just came out for the 360, but I don't know about the past games. -
No problem, Kez. Good luck with that. If you have technical questions, just drop me a line; I might be able to help.

I fought against a bully today
bushido_man96 replied to GhostFighter's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Well, sure, you never have to strike. But you may get your butt handed back to you if you don't. Personally, I am a big fan of the pre-emptive strike, and feel that it is very valid to use in defending yourself. Maybe its just me, but I don't like getting socked in the face, so I won't wait for it. Anyone can say "just block it." But that is easier said than done. -
martial arts team in school(public schools)
bushido_man96 replied to jj19902003's topic in Instructors and School Owners
Well, you have a good start. You need to talk to other schools in your area, and make sure that they have an instructor/coach around that can get the other schools started. As far as equipment goes, you may try to start with what you have, and try to borrow from your school. The less the start-up costs, the more enticing it will seem. Also, keep Title 9 in mind, and make sure you offer it as a women's sport as well. -
Sorry for venting!!!!
bushido_man96 replied to frightmaster's topic in TKD, TSD, Hapkido, and Korean Martial Arts
OK, that makes sense. Is everything not consistent from school to school? If not, then there needs to be some meetings going on. -
Big uniforms

Have you tried the Century of Adidas web sites? They may have some ordering information you can use. -
Speaking of MLB, look at what they have done to Pete Rose. That is about the only star punishment that I have seen followed through.

I am pretty sure it was karate, just a different idiogram.

We had a female in the other night on disorderly conduct, who claimed she was just defending herself. Her idea of defending herself was evident to the officer, who saw her bent over the other girl, reigning blows down on her. She could have gotten a battery charge, but the officer took it easy on her. So, about the only way that I have seen so far to avoid getting brought in on charges in a fight is to just take it. If you swing back, and officers see it, they will charge you as well. Then most likely you will have to sort it out at court.
