where i am from 9 out of 10 people own and shoot guns on a regular basis either for hunting, competition, of just fun. guns are a part of everyday life in a small town. i own five myself. teaching defense against guns is a must. although crime rate is very low here the gun rate is alot.

praying to the good Lord works everytime.

bass karate center Henderson, TN Bob Bass

just stripes.

i do know some of these moves. i train with the best of the best including cops, marine recon, army rangers etc. this is in their ciriculum. i would do anything to protect myself, my fiance, family, friends, land, and country.

it is like a temp battle scar. it shows that you are a man

it is good to a certain degree. one of our dojo precepts is to conquer one's self and not others.

everyone should know their lower ranked kata. we had to do everyone before recieving a blackbelt. i am now a sandan (3rd degree) and still know all kata i have learned.

I do Shotokan also. Ours is mainly geared toward self-defense. My instructor is a cop and so are alot of people there at the dojo. We also have various military personel there also. it all depends on how the instructor gears the classes.

KarateEd: I have also trained in a church. we used to teach a class in a church in Jackson,Tn to get more people into the church itself. We are associated with the Christian Martial Arts Association.

"Do your duty in all things, you can not do more, you should not wish to do less." -General Robert E. Lee (C.S.A.)

In sparring i kick above the belt as required, in a street fight i am only going to kick below the belt. As far as kicking being cheap, who cares. If I'm in a fight I want to win. i train to use both hands and feet therefore i will and I will do anything to win a fight.

I would have beat the living crap out of them. i don't have any sisters but i do have a cousin who is as close to me as a sister and she knows i would fight for her. i do have a little brother, he's small but he is mean as he!!. the boyfriend must be pretty sorry if he can't fight for his girlfriend. my fiance knows i would fight for her because i have already proved it.

i do. it is very effective. the throws and other techniques work in about any real world situations. i would highly suggest it if someone is interested in studying it.
