The BB of C

Chalk that up on my list of things I learned today.

I think that Mixed Martial Arts is a type of style but it can also be a rule set when it comes to competitions. Things like Ultimate Fighting Championship and K-1.

I think it's a little bit of both. I know if I could kick like that, I would definately make use of it in a fight. I also know I'd show off a whole lot.

I like faking a hook and then using my free hand to push the arms down. Then, unless they're quicker than me, I can almost do whatever I want.

I'd like to get in on that fun. Just out of curiosity, may I ask how well your students adjust to suddenly having more than one opponent. How often do they win even with the adjustment?

I would definately do that. My ideal instructor would be Steven Segal or Panom Yeerum.

A lot of martial arts teach multi-directional combos for multiple attackers or they teach that against multiple attackers you should keep all of them in front of you and then train you how to do that. I believe it's difficult but entirely possible for anyone to come out of any bad scinario such as against weapons or several people or heck several people with weapons. Many styles have been designed for it and battle tested and proven to work. Otherwise they wouldn't be along. Even Aikido. If you look it up, people say that "Aikido was forged in sword culture, and in sword culture, it was very rarely a one-on-one situation." Before I started training I was in a situation against five people and I almost won. I held my own for quite some time and then fended them off enough so I could escape because at the time I had no training (and was wearing heavy boots that prevented kicking) so I didn't know how to knock anyone out. If I went back to that situation now, I would have dispatched all five of them. Even in present day, I get messed with a lot at work for being "the karate kid" and I've had to fight off two or three co-workers at a time. Given, they are "joking around", but anyone can tell they're still trying a good amount to hit me. At the end of the day, it's possible, but really hard. Still train for it as much as possible. In the higher advanced stages of some styles, they teach you how to sense people with intention to attack even if they're behind you or your mind is preoccupied.

I would help out. I'd jump right in. I don't even need to think about that.

I've always looked up to Jackie Chan. Especially when I see him do things like this.

I used to do it for self defense because of problems at school. Then I found out that I loved it so I pursued. Then I found https://www.zgmain.com and figured out that I love performing and that there was a way to mix the two together. So now I do it to try to build a career in myself for that. I've also been going for self defense again more recently. Where I work there's a lot of inner city "tough guy" kind of deals that like to challenge the karate kid

I would flip out I'm not sure I'd be able to quietly watch that happen. My Kuk Sool Won instructor had a daughter who has a black belt in the style. But for that particular school, black belt doesn't say much. Plus I've never once seen his daughter in a class in the three years since I was there so I don't know how she gets treated. I think she either went to a different school or was learning before I joined, or both.

I live in New York, USA. Most weapons are illegal here, especially if they have a blade on them (sharp or not). Go to the weapons section of https://www.centurymartialarts.com and see just how bad it is and how little they're able to send to New York because of state laws. I still own a lot of weapons and I still practice with them. I even did a nunchuck demonstration for my high school's talent show last year. My parents and I were both ready and waiting for the resource officer to say something (or most likely confiscate them). It would have been a legal counter right where the sun don't shine and we were all ready to fight that battle too. Fortunately we didn't have to Nobody said anything. And even though, on the base, I don't want to get in any legal trouble because of my training, I'm more than ready and willing to. Martial arts have been degraded by laws so much that it's no wonder a lot of people think they're not worth learning anymore. And if I have the power to change that (and I do as much as anyone else), I am going to when the opportunity presents itself. And talk about difficult to do research on the laws too (I thought I'd educate myself for the near-at-hand battle with state laws ). I tried to find something that would describe the state's weapons laws. All I could find were opinion articles about gun law changes and most of them were from 2002-2005.

I've been there. Ever since I switched schools a while ago, I've gone from the top of the class to the bottom of the class. It's a weird feeling isn't it?

I didn't know my girlfriend was in a television commercial Just kidding. That was funny. I enjoyed watching it.

I practice my sweep kicks a lot. They've proved a useful weapon to me. As for my other takedown techniques, I don't practice them as much on account of a lack of willing partner.

I think we should remember that opponents are just people and their sports or martial arts background contributes little to their overall physical ability. But a rule of thumb is that if they haven't trained to fight, they won't be able to fight well. It rarely matters what physical attributes you have if one doesn't know how to use them. Although naturally I would think a football player would make the hardest opponent because typically they are big, though I've known some small ones, and typically they are used to taking hits, though I've met a lot of whimpy ones when it comes to fighting.

My Kuk Sool Won instructor was Gary Evarts, a five-time world champion in the style.

I always ask the organizer as many questions as possible, jot down some notes, and train according to what I'm expecting to be involved in at the tournament while keeping up endurance, flexibility, power, the whole nine yards of basics.

Amen brother.

You're about my dimensions, only three inches taller, and I do fine in martial arts. You'd be great. Try them all out for a few weeks and go with the one that teaches the best.

I like my Kuk Sool Won forms the best.

My older brother used to walk on my stomach. The last stomach conditioning I had was repetetive straight punches to the stomach.

People from other schools come into our Isshin-Ryu school all of the time. I don't sense any rivalry or real challenges. It's open sparring as far as I can see. And it's been good. I think I would do a dojo challenge if ever given the choice. But to prove myself to myself more than anyone else. I think they can be good and degrading to martial arts. It all depends on the situation.

I think philosophy plays a big part in most martial arts. I know I follow mine when I fight.
