GATES

ok so i want to be able to do these i cant quite do them i try but i lose form then fall so i want some advice on how to get that little bit stronger so i can do them. thanks for the help

ok so snapped my bone behind my little knuckle and it's all straped up, i only have 3 knuckles now. so any one got any advice how long before i can punch the bag full power i'm guessing about a year as i dont want it to keep re-breaking it sucks

just sounds like ego to me. i guess the black belt got a ego bash because the brown belt got 1 in so he knocked the brown belt flying which resulted in his ego getting bashed seen this thing before. let them get on with it but out side the class then know body else is involved

yeah i agree with that but some people say they make your knuckles big then some people say it gives you flat hands. i know the okinawans do them and walk on there knuckles. so i wanted to know what they really do just make the skin hard? big knuckles? flat knuckles?

what do knuckle push ups really do to your knuckles? there is so many contradicting veiws i just want to know the truth. cheers

this what i was thinking pluss you could counter with a hammer fist to the collar bone thanks for all the replys

What block would you use for a hook (that most people use when they dont know how to punch) punch? and what block would you use against a proper boxing hook a nice and tight one?

i have some random bit of cartilige in my knuckle which want there 2 months ago it dont really hurt but it's not nice i think i bust me knuckle but then again surly that would of given me pain which i dint get .

wado ryu it combines karate and jui jitsu

any one know of any BJJ or any other grappling arts that do alot of ground work in the east yorkshire area Bridlington/Hull/Scarborough???

give it longer it takes along time to get good at any thing,but i also think that you will be better than you think

helps prtoect your man hood

ok,we dont do any of the sport stuff just self defense our sensai dont belive in the sport side each to there owni guess.

competiton??? you doing a sport verson of Wado Ryu?

thanks for all your replies,i pretty much do every thing you all do but i also got a few idea's from the things i dont do. just wish i could go to the dojo more but the class is once a week then i travel 2hours to go to another class,so thats twice a week some of you are really lucky.

how long do you practise each day? and what sort of stuff do you do? today i done about 45mins did some light streching then mawashigeri,mae geri and side snap kicks on the heavy bag,and quite alot of oi zucki and gyakuzuki on the bag too. not done to much today but i think i built up alittle power. what about your selfs?

can always try this site http://www.wado-ryu-karate.com dont know if it's what your after.
