  1. Roger Huerta Wins by Technical Knock Out at 0:19 in the 1st round awesome. what did he hit him with, hands, knees?
  2. my advice: practice infront of people, get used to an atmosphere, practice, if you can, infront of a mirrow. practice your kata in different directions. get someone to video you and watch it back, so u can see problem areas
  3. snake fist... i think its kung fu. but i could be wrong
  4. So, when training do you guys/girls listen to music? and if so what kind? i personally listen to varied types of music, if im going for speed 'shadow boxing' i listen to fast paced music, and tend to listen to metal. i.e machine head. when in class we have to listen to varied music... even ZZ Top at times i also would love to find some 'broken rythmed' music like what BL talks about, so i could train to move to its tempo etc. discuss and stuff
  5. in a street fight there are no rules. so, whats wrong with kicking? as a martial artist, i train kicks, so of course i'd use them
  6. we pay about... urm... 38£ a month. cant really remember, with us having 3 training lessons a week + whatever else we do at weekends
  7. it all depends on how hard you train in that time frame, i know people who got their 1st dan in 2 years, but took that doesnt make them any less skilled or make the grading easier
  8. yeah sounds as if your trying to punch further than you can and hyperextending your joints
  9. rampage looked totally bad against eastman... what was the results anyway?
  10. -Mirko Cro Cop vs. Eddie Sanchez -Anderson Silva vs. Travis Lutter -Quinton Jackson vs. Marvin Eastman -Ryoto Machida vs. Sam Hoger -Tyson Griffin vs. Frank Edgar -Melvin Guillard vs. Dustin Hazelett -Scott Smith vs. Patrick Cote -Jorge Rivera vs. Terry Martin -Roger Huerta vs. John Halverson my picks for winning in bold cant wait to see crocop in action
  11. dummy, in my opinion, gives a much better realistic feel to training
  12. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=kyryllo found this guys profile on youtube. has some really nice tutorials. mainly TKD influenced, but nice never the less hope it helps someone
  13. i had never heard of TSD was b4 reading it on here
  14. i voted cross trainer. i believe u can cycle and run out with a gym, so they arent the best there, and i dnt partyicularly like rowing machines
  15. Well on the 3rd of march I travel to dublin, ireland to my first 'big' karate competition. its an open event with light contact, points sparring, full contact, and team fighting etc. i will be hoping to compete in points and light continious, so wish me luck the event is 'sport karate' or 'freestyle karate' but quite alot of other forms of karate and tkd also compete to our modified rules. so yeah, wish me luck
  16. well both punches are on the WAKO kickboxing syllabis

    Kata

    im now being taught shotokan kata by a friend whos a black belt in spare time thanks for the help
  18. the martial art is only as good as the person training it imo
  19. to keep 'equal rights' punch them wherever you'd punch a male. if she is willing to spar a male, then she should know what to expect
  20. Okay, so I read earlier about punches I hadn't ever heard of before: Bolo punch and Wing punch. so i searched them, and couldnt really get any good descriptions of them or that, anyone care to help? thanks

    Kata

    thanks will have a look
  22. yeah i am enjoying it, and the instructors are great
  23. i was in the same position as you about 4 months ago. the first time will tire you out quickly, and you may not like it to start with but you will begin to get used to it. as for techniques, try and get the basics, front kicks, roundhouses, jabs and crosses down, then try moving more, and blocking. then slowly you'll progress from there
