lol guys need to stop being sexists. When I was in 5th grade I was able to beat 8th grade boys in arm wrestling... I can beat most boys in my class in arm wrestling too, but I'm not muscular, I just do a lot of arm strengthning stuff with my brother since I was young. That proves that with proper training females are not weaker then males, males just have the advantage in the begining. Plus, girls are naturally more flexible, but again, this doesn't go for everyone. And I think girls are as mentally strong as men, it's just that males are embarrased of showing their emotions, because if they do they are considered gay by a lot of people. That's one of the reasons why men die early, because they hide their emotions so much(or at least that's what heard on TV). Another thing I think is really stupid is when people say, "males are better then females at this" or vice versa... When someone says that I lose respect for them, that's like saying Americans are dumber then asians(It's been proven that asian kids are smarter, but that doesn't go for everyone, and the only reason they are smarter is because they need to be or else they will have a really bad future.. BTW, I don't mean they have the higher IQ or anything, they just know more math, science, etc). And Eye of the Tiger, you really are a sexist...

I think weapons that were used in farms a long time ago, but are now considered martial art weapons. I always thought sais were used for cooking meat a long time ago, is this true?

Eh, what job do you do? I'd say you are in danger from this is you continue losing 10 pounds every week haha. But I doubt it, wouldn't you also gain muscle?

LOL

but Blade, what if the murderer killed someone by slicing a part of the victim off little by little? Then someone would have to do the exact same thing to the murderer, and i doubt anyone would wanna do that... ewww. [ This Message was edited by: Deirou Kuzan on 2002-06-27 14:10 ]

thnx for that site Bitseach. and i wash mine everytime i use it, as for blood... umm.. i never bled on it, is it normal to?

Xpoison go to http://www.winjutsu.com then go to yellow pages, which is at the top, and look fer a dojo that might be around yur area.

lol guyz. yesh.. take ninjitsu, but if you wanna be a ninja all you really have to do is be able to fight like the ninjas did and learn the stuff they could do(stealth, weapons, kuji in, elements, nature etc). most ninja places probably dun't teach you how to be a ninja anywho, 'coz they only know the fighting aspect of ninjitsu.

Hiya and welcome, Yeah introduce yourself a bit.

It's possible to learn some techniques from a book, because I've done it(fortunately I did the technique correctly), but if you do it wrong there is no one to correct you. I doubt you can learn the whole art from a book or video though, and who would sparr with you and give you advice? But like G95champ said, if that's all you got then, well I'd say go for it.

okay first of all, i'm not american, I'm Korean and I don't give a horse **** whether or not they won, I could care less about a STUPID soccer GAME. secondly, i don't give F*ck about any sport.. you can say baseball or football(one with hands) suck and I could care less. and it IS a game. I don't know why so many people make big deals out of it, get over it. and i'm surprised that you say that americans don't have good attention span, I'm sure you do... Usually people don't get pissed if someone says they think soccer or whatever sport is stupid. another thing.. it's bad that you're ASSUMING every american has the attention of a monkey span, you shouldn't judge a whole nation.. I'm sure there are plenty of people here that have twice a longer attention span then you, van damme. and I hope you don't get offended and pissed off like that again, control yourself and please relax..

oh by then way i do TKD but the place i go to focuses a lot on self defense. it really depends on the school, but seeing that most TKD schools are sport, i think it all comes down to what you want out of martial arts, and what your prefer(such as kicking, or punching, or grappling, etc). if you want to become spiritual and stuff take aikido, if you wanna get fit do something like cardio kickboxing, if you want self defense do something like wing chun or muay thai (actually any art will help you with self defense). anyway i kno this isn't much info, but hope this helped a bit cya.

geesh that's really nasty. i don't get why ppl would do such a thing, yeah i would wish him dead.

go to kickboxing.com and read through the different arts. no one here can tell you what art you'll like or what aspect of the art is good or bad, cuz it'll always be an opinion.

I think you can strengthn it simply by kick bags and stuff with your shins a lot.

Eh, I'm confused. Soccer football. You know, I live in the US and they call football, "soccer" but they should really call it "football" because it makes much more sense, since you really use your feet unless you're the goalie.

There is no excuses for murdering people that aren't innocent either... It really makes me mad, I never knew people were actually killed for doing something bad. I thought they just went to jail.

Hey, welcome to the forums. And there really isn't a single art that's "more" effective then the other, it's how you train and how much luck you have that's most important. but goodluck finding the right art.

who cares... it's just a stupid soccer game.. it's best not assume that refrees cheated though, and I watched the game and I have to agree that Korea's team was really into it, though it doesn't mean they were better or anything, lol they were really short compared to spain. soccer is stupid soccer is stupid soccer is stupid soccer is stupid soccer is stupid soccer is stupid soccer is stupid soccer is stupid soccer is stupid soccer is stupid did you guys know a few people died watching the soccer games? i guess they got their heart beating a bit too much, poor ppl.

i wouldn't suggest getting into an art without knowing a lot about it first, but if you're sure, goferit!(go for it) lol cya.

Go to http://www.google.com and type it, "silat Maryland" or "wing chun Maryland" If there are schools with websites(very likely) it should show up. or you can look in the yellow pages. http://search.worldpages.com/bin/cgidir.dll?FUNC=DSTSRCH&MEM=288 just type in "martial art instructions" and your city and state, but don't type in "silat" or "wing chun" because those are not one of the categories. well goodluck finding a school, cya.

everyone thought it was good? i thought it sucked. the beggining seemed okay, but later it was too superhero-ish. I don't like superhero stuff, nor do i like people in ugly red clothes and red boots (santa clause.. lol) and i thought the ending was great! kind of sad.. poor girl you know, but still great in a movie way.

lol guys i dont think rodan even comes here anymore.

The style doesn't matter that much, it's the instructors that will be teaching you that matters most. Make sure they are good and experienced. But Muay Thai and Hapkido are both good from what I've seen(which isn't very much by the way lol).

Thanks for your replies, I'm gonna use that schedule now. and i plan to eat 5 small healthy meals a day and drink lots of water. that should be good.
