Teaching children to tie belts
Symphony-x replied to fkflores's topic in Instructors and School Owners
Children? I still find it hard to get my belt tied However, it could be useful to spend 20mins of a class showing students and parents how to tie their belts? -
Big Tim Sylvia leaves the UFC
Symphony-x replied to pittbullJudoka's topic in Pro Fighting Matches and Leagues
thank god, he was a sloppy gfighter, only good due to his size -
So in september I'm going off to Aberdeen [scotland] to university, so I'm having to change my training camp. Instead of my Kickboxing i'll finally get to pick up T. woot. However I have always wanted to learn grappling and ground skills, and in Aberdeen there are several places I could learn. I have the choice of either Wrestling, Judo or BJJ, but to be honest, I havnt a clue what to choose. I've always liked slams, but also love takedowns and throws as well as submission. I'm pretty strong, so can anyone give me help on what to choose, or help me figure out what would be best for me? thanks

Critique my punching video
Symphony-x replied to gzk's topic in MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Competitive Fighting
all that for 2 small punches? move your hips foreward more, and don't push your guard so close together -
hey guys and girls, wanted to share a few images from my karate class last night, some are blurry, and it wasn't the best class we've ever had, but, I'll show anyway the style we do is called 'Freestyle Karate'. This is a mix of traditional karate styles and kickboxing, along with some TKD... sounds weird, I know, but I love it, anyway... enjoy http://file021a.bebo.com/3/large/2007/07/14/11/2232743521a4969737080l.jpg http://file021a.bebo.com/3/large/2007/07/14/11/2232743521a4969737147l.jpg http://file021a.bebo.com/3/large/2007/07/14/11/2232743521a4969737227l.jpg http://file021a.bebo.com/3/large/2007/07/14/11/2232743521a4969752998l.jpg http://file021a.bebo.com/3/large/2007/07/14/11/2232743521a4969753118l.jpg http://file020a.bebo.com/13/large/2007/07/14/11/2232743521a4969771405l.jpg http://file020a.bebo.com/13/large/2007/07/14/11/2232743521a4969771480l.jpg http://file024a.bebo.com/8/large/2007/07/14/11/2232743521a4969778307l.jpg The class is full of varied skill levels, some have been doing it for years, some only a few weeks or months.

Dan Severn is most deservant in my opion

...But, In Boxing, KBoxing, MT, whatever... why do many people only learn to fight in one stance, IE Right or Left [or south paw... whatever]? I personally believe in learning/training in both stance, not only does it get my skill level; up, but switching around in fights can confuse oppenents etc... Anyway, What are peoples opinions on this, and what do you train as left, right or both? Thanks

if you wanna do MMA, or competitions, you should be keeping your guard up more. if i was fighting you, you'd be asking me to hit u 1 like that Also, for kicking, don't 'step in' then kick, slide your back foot. keep practicing

If it doesn't feel right, do more reps...
Symphony-x replied to gzk's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
theres no point in practicing the wrong thing a million times: if you've did it wrong so many times you'll never manage to change habits -

Good Idea
Symphony-x replied to Symphony-x's topic in Choosing a Martial Art, Comparing Styles, and Cross-Training
well currently I train 2 days a week boxing and 3 karate. but i also have college and alot of time off. in this free time I know there is WTF TKD classes where my boxing is with a 5th Dan instructor, so I thought it was a good idea. -
club: Wright Fitness and Freestyle Centre City: Buckie, Elgin and Forres: Scotland Sensei: 3rd Dan Graeme Wright, 2nd Dan Helen Wishart, 1st Dan Andrew Middleton and 1st Dan Danield Balsdon tho, Graeme should be about 8th Dan by now, he just doesnt really do gradings
-
Well currently I do karate, and i'm best using my hands rather than kicking. I also do boxing, which is probably why im better/more confident with my hands. Anyway, I was considering doing some either WTF or ITF TKD [again] every so often between trainings to help improve my kicking. Good idea?
