While I am only 22 I gotta agree and I believe in the old saying "There is a time and place for everything" but you don't make goo goo eyes at the Dojo.

I hate getting sick and stuff but when I do I find that going outside and breathing some fresh air, I feel better. My head will be clearer, my nose will stop running and such, maybe getting some fresh air will help you.

Was there anyone to back up his claim of beating up these black belts and a instructor? I could see beating up a black belt if you fight dirty or with whatever you can get your hands on but a instructor? I seriously doubt that a instructor would cave in to a teens antics and fight him and since a lot of instructors have years and years of training I don't think that fight really happened. Maybe it did and I'm wrong but anyone can "create" their own style so I think this friend is a fake.

Welcome to KF!

I know I already answered but the real reason I love Martial Arts is because I was 7 when Power Rangers came out that something got me, I think of the fluid movements and their flips and stuff. I know it's stupid.

Welcome to KF!

I like the looks of the Martial Armor but I don't think the chest guard would be very good but I want to buy the forearm guards and maybe shin guards.

Wow you are just as tall as my 12 year old brother but I guess you just have to make whatever you have work for you. The Ninja turtles are supposed to be around 5'2 and they can kick major butt so I don't feel so bad.

I've never been a fan of UFC, I found it to be somewhat pointless and it looks like wrestling to me which is cool but kind of boring. I know the fighters train in different martial arts but they spend most of their time grappling and punching and not much kicking.

been punched by my lil bro a lot, 4'10 little monster has a mean right hook, of course it doesn't hurt that much but I do feel it.

Wow that is some good craftsmanship. I like it, shows originality.

LOL! Wow these are so good it's hard to describe how much pain i'm in from laughing. "Can you do backflips?" That was asked of a TKD instructor by a little kid where I took TKD for a month.

I love to meditate, I try to do it daily. It relaxes me and keeps me from growing to anger.

I am afraid to die but if it's my time then it's my time.

People like Jason Bourne have years upon years of training and Bushido_man is right, it's just a movie so of course he's going to win against multiple opponents. I would follow Bushido_man's advice, try to find someone who has training and will teach you or you could just start doing push ups, sit ups, run and that will make you more flexible.

That's true so being short does have it's disadvantages but a disadvantage means more training to go over that one problem.

Yeah you're right, guess I got worked up over nothing but it'll suck being the short guy in the class but oh well.

Well I guess i'm still not used to my height but can't really do anything about it so guess you gotta live with it.

Well martial arts is going to be hard for me since I have small hands and feet (thanks gramps).

Hi everyone, Most people in the martial arts world are normal height but I am not. I stand 5'2 1/2 inches tall without shoes. Is there anyone else close to my height here?

Thanks for the advice guys (or gals) I don't wanna sound paranoid but look before you leap and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Well I just found out that the man now has three locations and small bell going off in my head that this might be a McDojo since I don't know how this guy can run three seperate places.

I do Martial arts because it's fun, keeps me in shape and I can defend myself if need be.

Wow that really sucks since he won't be able to fight during his probation period. Also I kinda had a feeling this was going to happen sooner or later since MMA is mostly boxing from what I've watched.

Well I think this guy has basically given us something to point and laugh at I mean instead of getting angry at McDojos and their students, do this: Point, snicker, walk a ways away then fall down laughing till you can't breath.
