superleeds

yes, but point sparring/slap fighting dosent count. ok' i'll ask you a THIRD TIME, DO YOU SPAR WITH LEG KICKS? LEGBLOCKS? yup. we do in our club. (and it hurts!!!) especially when it is yellow belt against yellow belt. Boxing rules though.

I watched the pictures of the recently captured US troops. (4 alive 5 dead) The 5 dead had bullet holes in the back/front of their heads. which suggests that the helmets had been removed before they were shoot. Makes me sick.

Are u saying that u live in the only democracy in the world????U must be joking. .....btw: It costs a lot of money to be elected president in the US. That's not freedom (from my point of view) take care ps: what does IMO mean

I'm not quite sure how to explain this without being to clumsy. Its like a closed fist, only that your middle finger is a cm more forward then the others. I realise that this is not a good description. I dont think I have the vocabulary to explain it properly. Take care

Kung fu and karate utlises many of the same hand techniques. I dont think that there is a definite answer to that one. I think a question like what is the most effective hand strike technique in a given context? For pressure points, the phoenix strike is probably the best option. and so on.

quite a combination of styles u got jhonnyS. Can u describe your shootfighting? What does it emphasise?

There is always a first though

In fac there were actually some tribes which had a written language and their own legal system.

Uniting against "evil" is what the UN is about. With the U.S as a "loose cannon" who gets to decide who is evil and who's not? PLEASE DO NOT PUT YOUR WORDS IN MY MOUTH! I did not post THAT!!! Edit** Very sneaky superleeds..... if you are going to quote, use the poster's direct quote! Don't modify it to suit your opinion!! Who decides??? The U.N. ..... France, Germany, China and Russia opposed removing Saddam Hussein by force because all of those countries are doing profitable business with Saddam and all of them would like to see US power diminished. Sorry . I was trying to argument in the middle of your quote. I use a public computer so I didnt have time to apology before now. Once again Sorry

Uniting against "evil" is what the UN is about. With the U.S as a "loose cannon" who gets to decide who is evil and who's not? In the Middle East Ariel Sharon is considered an evil man. Shouldn't the opinion of the people in the Middle East be just as important as the general opinion in the USA? Whats next? Cuba? Venezuela? Where should we draw the line? Should the whole world, live at the US president's whim? U talk about democracy. its not democracy when the biggest bullie in the schoolyard decides that hes not going to listen to anyone else, and do what he sees fit.

Your son should try Chito-Ryu karate. a well rounded and aggressive style.

ohoh....their on to me......

The problem is not about the US invading Iraq for personal gain, and the problem is not about democracy. The real problem is that the US government and their pet dogs from no 10 Downing Street has made the UN redundant. As a result, 50 years of diplomatic craftmanship has gone to waste. Worldwide political stability is just a pipe dream. Unless the Hawks decide to mold any other country they dont approve of in their image. I fear that we will not only see bombs exploding in Bagdad. The war can soon enough be closer than any of us had expected.

My favourite technique is probably a combo with a sidekick and a reverse punch.

Knife hand block.

Empi kihon doza, or kihon Kata San

Aikido...

agrees...

ageeds, and bows to Leaf

Make sure that u feel comfortable with the instructors and the general environment Good luck:)

Chito-Ruy.Karate: well rounded and aggressive Tai Chi Chen and Kwan: beatiful and quite challenging. Capoeira:groovy Hanky Panky

Chito-Ryu Pretty much the same for us. we practice elbow work quite a bit. But keep that part at a restrained level.

Our style Chito-Ryu is very similar to some Kung-Fu styles. O'Sensei Chitose was thaught the fighting style Ti, which apperantly is a Kung Fu style. (I'm not a 100% certain that Ti is a Kung-Fu style) we also use the White Crane kata.

I agree with the first 3. But it wont help to get angry. Stay focused.

Just say that the wall was in your way.....
