  1. No one is to hurt his feelings, because he will get you back for it 10 times worse. Just odd I must say.. His story also seems HIGHLY unlikely. There are a few traditional schools where I live as well, and they tend to tell stories like this, and things like their hands are certified weapons etc. this is all hokus pokus, you can train as long as you want, but you will never be Superman. Those type of stories got by in 80s during the Karate Kid times, but not today. But I will say that you have been respectful and responded to everyone here in a respectful manner, so that on the other hand has impressed me.
  2. That's the most crazy thing I have heard. I do karate but in a non-traditional school. I didn't even know that it was disrespectful to drop your belt on the floor. I would be pretty angry at my sensei if he injured me because i dropped my belt. Everybody is talking about how martial arts today are losing their sense of an art compared to what they used to be. But if that's what being a TMA means, then I am glad that martial arts are moving in the direction that we are moving in today. We are supposed to show each other the same amount of respect regardless of belt status in my opinion. At the end of the day we are all people, and if I got my shoulder dislocated for makeing a human "error" such as dropping my belt, then that's highly disrespectful on the senseis part from my point of view.
  3. Teakwondo belts tend to be easy, and BJJ belts hard.
  4. Nobody ever wanted me to get to one because it would always be followed with one hundred side kicks for the whole room. Those people must have developed some solid side-kicks, I wish I got to do that aswell hehe.
  5. Wow, I pay 70 dollars for 4 months, but training is very cheap here in sweden compared to the united states.
  6. Rodney King says that you can use any guard from a distance, but when getting showered with punches, that's a good guard to turn to.
  7. its would be good to start doing martial arts weak, so you get flawless technique, and then build on muscles, and just stick to the good technique you already have
  8. Very effective, but it can be deadly. A knee to the groin still might be the better option.
  9. Does this tend to tip off people that you spar frequently? Does it become predictable at times, or are you able to work around it?It actually does make me a bit more predictable for the people I constantly sparr with, but I still have a very unorthodoxed style in general, so it's hard to figure out what I am about to do next.
  10. Well, when I got into a fight the andrenaline dump was huge, my legs felt so heavy. But the basic techniques that I had practiced alot still worked just fine. My roundhouse to the midsection was still pretty technical, and I followed with a straight right that I felt I had good controle over aswell. But yes the flashy technqiques are pretty useless.

  12. Crazy monkey defense, look it up on youtube if you don't know what it is. It's the best guard if you don't have gloves.
  13. 3 days a week, but man do I wish I had my own key so that I could work on some things by myself.
  14. I tend to do different attacks depending on which side is my lead. For example, the side-kick, I only do that if my right leg is the lead leg.
