masterintraining

im prayin for yall tonight, i seriously meen that.

we use alot of trapping in mantis kung-fu,especially my sifu, iv noticed alot of r traps cum from the same 2 motions, but can be go further into many other techniques.

i did.....thats all u need to no.

maybe for most mainstream actors but Jason already is in the blackbelt halll of fame, has his own chain of martial arts dojos 1 of which him and his wife teach themselves, still competes in tournments ( but i guess that might be hard when the people he's fighting are so star strucked that there fighting someone they probably idolized as a child they do even care about the match anymore ) and is the CEO & president of ISKA kickboxing, which im sure u have heard of.( and also can kickbox to) he is more 1 of those people who has acted in the past and still loves it, but is not consumed by it and still mantains other jobs.Just like Bruce Lee did with his acting career and teaching his junFan kungfu institute and he tao of jeet kune do seminars.

hey i jus heard that jason david frank,( who many of u no beter as tommy from the power rangers) is going to be starting MMA soon and i wanted to no if any1 new who he was fighting and what MMA company will he be fighting for UFC, Pride, etc.

yes mantis is very good for self-defence provided u have a good teacher my teacher splits r forms into drill sets so we can practic each little by little, then sparrs with us and makes us them. we also do alot of mantis grappling work and throwing moves witch many schools that teach kungfu dont do. (sigh) i love my school

Okay in my next upcomin tourny i hav to for the very first time fight in the black belt division. my history is this- my first tournament i was blue sash with crane patch 5th level out of 15 total levels before black sash so i was at the intermidiate level.) and got gold in sparring for beeting to people. and silver in self-defence, second time going i got silver in form, and silver in sparring i again fought to people in the intermidiate level( same people actualy) and lost to one this time. this is my 3rd tournament and because of my most recent test i am now in advanced level witch meens i am goin to be in the black belt divison of the tournament. this will be my first time sparring with anyone other then my sifu and assitant instructor, and i have seen some black belts fight and i think some of the people in my age i can beet, but as for the adults who i might fight incase there are not enough people in my weight class since they dont go by age. and the adults are REALLY GOOD i have seen some people i think could be in the UFC if they felt like it. so though im excited that if i when this i will be very very proud of myself, i am still a little nervouse about fighting black belts for the first time. does anyone have any advice for black sash point fighting ?

if u have not seen out shame own u, if u have i just want to know a few questions. wasnt there like a different series where baki had trained himself using books, but was still a good fighter? 2. when dose actually BEAT his dad. i saw them fight and every attack baki threw, made contact but was not doing any damage at all, as his dad just stood there and let him waste his energy. 3. who trained baki and what is his actualy fighting style, i know grpplers are just martial arts fighters so i know its not a judo/juijutsu based style

Thankyou my Dear justin for restoring honor to are great art. like u said u have to actually have a good teacher and practice the applicatiions for fighting in order to be able to fight, u cant just up and start and be able to take out 20 guys, it takes hard work, heck thats what Kungfu meens ( hard work). I have a good teacher, and he breaks are techniques down into drill sets, so that we can learn and master each part of are forms, before advancing. i love kung-fu and plan to give it bake its great name one day.

hey dose any1 no of any organizations that specialize in martial arts peformances/fighting, I really was considering going into MA sytle performing as a career. An example of a organization like what i am talking bout would be EMC, or XMA teams that go place to place giving demos, and participating in tournys, any insite at all will do.

hey doose any1 no wen this new jet li and jachie chan movie is suppose to come to theaters, i heard a rumor a couple months ago bout there being a new jet li and jachie chan movie coming out. like i said that was months ago so i was wondering if they are still even making this supposed movie, or was this all just a myth.

thanks but was it still flashy acrobatic like todays wushu, or actual kungfu forms and effective for fighting, like other schools of Kungfu ( wing-chun, mantis, etc.)

Okay for those of u who watch a anime called bleach own Adult swim own saturday nights, i have just got me a zompocto sword. I recieved Ichigo's second sword ( the big black meat clever looking one, with some rap around the handle for grip) Plus it is a real sword and just as big as the one from the T.V. show to. ( 5,0 ft exactly, the handles four feet by itself.) i absolutly love it, not to mention it is made from stainless combat steel and is sharp as heck!!! which is why when it came through fedex today and my mom saw how sharp it was she orignaly wanted me to give it away, ( and for those of u who are fans of the series and know what i am talkin bout thats like a fate worse then death) but after sever compromise, i can keep it aslong as i keep it at my Kungfu academy with my Sifu , own account of we have little space for something so big, and if one of my cousins gets ahold of they might kill eachother , if not for those to reasons she would not care. so i was just wandering dose anyone else have any bleach zampoctos aswell?

quick question: i was just finshing watching jet Li's fearless and i was wandering why wasnt the original huo yuanja sports fedration( wushu school) effected by these laws of the government? It staits that the school continued to flourish even after his death to today, was it haulted temporarly while all of these events where happening. P.S. around 1905-1910 was wushu still more forms and traditional kungfu like today, or was it already more about flashy acrobatics instead of martial and self-defence abillity.

well my story is not as funny as those but its still pretty good. okay as a future black sash one of my tests is to be able to pass own my knowledge to other younger students( teach class) so i am giving class and the little kids want to sparr so i decide to let them once we are done with there lesson. So since there much smaller they like to attack me all at once, and have a tendancy to have to grab my legs while the others attack my body.( smart to be so young) i have told them countless times to NOT PULL MY PANTS !!! but they seem to think i am playing because i am still a child myself(16yrs) so one day i where my larger pants do to my others needing to be washed, and we once again sparr. except this time because my pants are bigger when they pull them, they pull them down ( not completly but down enough) . I pulled them up fast as i can while my Sifu and assistant instructor are luaghing there brains out. AND if thats not all they decide to do it again, because they think i am playing. it was a very, very, embarrsing day.

there are tournaments that i can get paid for goin to. y didnt anyone tell me? dose any1 no any websites i can go to that will give me some information of these tournements. I was going to open up my own martial arts school eventually but if there is way i can get money for my tournements i would love doin that, are they like normal tournaments or just sparring, atleast until i decide to settle down any open my school franchise. But anyway hat are the name/webs of some.

Okay i was watching Old UFC footage and thats where i found out about jason Delucia and how he was a original UFC fighter who unlike many of the currrent UFC fighter fought a traditional style of martial arts five animals kung-fu to be exact, and could actually use it for fighting. so my question is what happened to him. dose he still fight or what? i personally think of him as a inspiration even though he lost Royce gracie twice, many people did the same, dose he still do anything UFC or pro fighting related. actually as a matter of fact why did alot of Traditonal UFC fighters leave, there styles can be just as effective if applied differently i meen many of u have gotten into fights and Used tradtional MA 2 defend urslef, actually some r specifcally made for fighting ( Kyokushin Karate) and many of u compete in full contact tournaments using TMA and do great so why did TMAtist stop fighting in UFC and let every1 believe that the only effective styles are muay thai, Jiu jutsu, Judo, and kickboxing. PLease do not get me wrong i am not trying to say anythin is wrong with these styles i am just asking y people only use certain styles.

well i was suppose to train at this dumn 4 week program that was suppose to be 1 one class per week, and it also was only 1 hour classes, plus the price was so high that with the same amount of money for the 4 week program i could train at my current school for about 8 months!! plus my mom whould have to be my transportation and at the time she had to work own the day i had practice, so when my mom told me i could not train there i was depressed but then i decided to go to a school that had just opened up a couple blocks away from us so i joined there the next day, and had my first class the fallowing.

well as for a clinch situation, i wrote down the wrong move, that technique is for defending against a choke with both hands. what i ment to write was if in a clinch i would use many knees to the ribs and stomach, or like i said earlier the groin if i can get to it, or a low toe kick to the groin, fallowed by a elbow to the temple after he is stunned.

Whats your existing gameplan from your mantis kung-fu training? Personally, any sort of kick that didnt involve me driving my knee into the other persons leg, would be a last resort in any situation. Sure, if you connect with a strong high kick you might win. But thats a huge IF, and a risk i wouldnt be willing to take. Miss the kick, or hit him with little force and you make him angrier or end up on your back in a worse position than you started. I completely agree. Back to the original question, how to deal with a kimbo like character? Firstly, these are organised events and the fights are usually for money. So obviously do get involved in organised fights. From there you have to ask when and why you would likely be attacked by such a person. Usually they will want something (money, your possessions, your body), or they will feel that you have offended them in some way (looking at there girlfriend, staring at them, bumping into them). Now you begin to realise there are a whole load of things you can do before the fight even starts to avoid it happening. Having a well practiced gameplan is half the battle. Being able to execute it, is the rest. Just a FYI, Kimbo has been defeated before, under interesting circumstances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LOIDj9TTfU&mode=related&search= i have seen kimbo beaten before because the guy he faught was actually a pro, not a streetfighter, i think his name was sean gannonmy gameplan for a fight is to step 1.) TRY AND ALWAYS AVOID, to many crazy people out there who will kill for know reason, or fight dirty like trying to jump u. but if i cant avoid i will defend myself, 2.) in a fight i try to use many feints, and parry ( mantis side stepping), and fakeout moves like fake backfist to head,and come down with a backfist, cross double punch move, to the stomach or groin( groin if i was forced to fight someone kimbo sized.) or a mantis side step to the side of them and hit them three times with a mantis backfist, cross,and come over with a elbow to temple with cross arm after it has made contact, or fake backfist( as u can see i LOVE the mantis backfist, i use it like boxers use the jab. ) snapkick, knee to the ribs/groin/stomach( again most likely groin if i can gat to it). If i am in a clinch i will try and use to double jump snapkicks, as i try and use my thumbs to press into the two pressure points located where ur arms bend. i could list some more but i dont want to list all of my combos own the internet. But like i said this is assuming i am fighting someone like kimbo who fights like him, i do not think kimbo would ever choose to fight a 16 year old lol. just laugh at me and walk away, but chances are someone will only attack u if they think they have a 100% chance of winning, or own drugs, so i just choose to prepare for the worst by picking a fighter like kimbo he is almost as big as they come when it comes to fighter. i also would not sit ther and keep fighting after i got him down to look coo.l After i knock him down or even stun him i am out of there! before he gits up gits angrier, or calls some friends and i end up like this. i also would use a weapon as a equelizer ( anything from a rock to a shoe to a branch i break of when the fight starts.) like i said i always try to avoid as best as i can, but hey some people will fight over anything even for something like they were board, or angry at someone else and u were around them.

Im sure many people here own Karateforums know about what happend own monday 4/16. i would just like to say to everyone here that my prayers go out to anyone here own Karateforums who may have had friends or family that they might have lost own this horrible day at virginia tech university. My prayers go out to everyone here who might be still hurting from this horrible incident. It makes me so enraged that there are people out there that will kill for little to know reason, and that i as a normal person who is not even 18 yet can do to stop them. I cant even look at that mans face after all the pain he caused to all these people that he did not even know.All I can do is and Pray to God that nothing like this happens to so many inicent people ever again. If u have any comments, experiences, or know someone who has had any experineces with this nightmarish day. I also once again want to say that i hope all of you are safe. If its to hard or painful for some of you to talk about, I completly understand. I just wanted to express my feeling about this terrifying day, and to express my sorrows.

can some of my karateforums friends please tell where in the world can i find a nintendo wii, if anyone knows any links to websites that sell them and are not over priced. ebay has them overpriced, and so dose gamestop because they only sell the bundle. please its suppose to be my birth day present and my birthday was last weak so we are having alot of trouble with finding this thing. so If someone can help me find this i would really appreciate it and would be attournaly greatful.

evade to the opposite direction of the kick and step forward in one motion, this is simple if ur evading a front snap kick, or high to kick but if it is a sidekick or a roundhouse kick evade to the direction the toes are pointing because chances are they will not be able move fast enough to o come back with another kick or technique, but if u evade to the side of the heal there is a chance that the opponent can come back with a hook kick. It is almost impossible for someone to attack after just missing a big kick.

for those of you that do not know who i am talking about, go to https://www.youtube.com and search "kimbo fight" there is a street boxer known as kimbo who from what i have heard has only been defeated once by a UFC fighter, i was wondering how someone like me who practices mantis kung-fu and am only 5-9 1/2 whould beat a streatboxer like kimbo, especially since many people try to use boxing in a streat fight because it is effective and easy to imitate if u dont actually practice it. thanks
