Welcome and enjoy !

I would suggest low kicks, take out his knees, he cant stand and fight,other than that try to out maneuver and out last him ,from what ive seen he doesnt have very good conditioning

All the core muscles should be focused on, as that is where all power is generated from,helps protect internal organs from strikes, and makes you harder to unbalance.

Welcome,and enjoy

Dumbbells are an excellent way to work the entire body since they make you work each side of your body individually really hitting the stabalizing muscles. They are a great choice especially if you are limited on space.

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy them.

That is an excellent policy. I used to know it but it has been some time since I was certified. I honestly dont know if anyone else in the dojo knows or not.

It has definitely made me look at katas in different ways,very informative even though they reference Goju katas which Im not familiar with. I would recomend it to anyone who does katas regardless of style.

Has anybody else read this book? Im about halfway through it.

I agree I think that most people see shodan as the goal when it is just the firs step in a long journey.

welcome humble monk

Its pop here in Pa, but when I was in North Carolina it was soda.(the first time I asked for a pop they were like "did you just ask me to hit you")

I really dont think there is such a thing as a fair fight. On the street there are no rules its all about survival you do whatever you have to to win.

Hi Karatejock first off Idont thinm its ever too late to start training. Just remember your probably not going to be able to keep up with the younger students, so takeit slow and listen to your body,it will tell you when your overdoing it. Good luck!

Good luck. Let us know how you do

Im pretty new here but welcome back

Welcome

Sorry I dont really follow football but Im a huge Pens fan

He did say no ranged weapons........so sword and shield would be your bet, I think. Oops I didnt see that, so the sword and shield it is

Against multiple opponents I wouldnt advise going to the ground,because while you may have one opponent down there with you it leaves you open for attacks from the others.

Wow thats a good question, just off the top of my head lets see everlast heavy bag 3 boken 1shinai 2 pair of sai numerous pair of chuks assorted sparring gear focus mitts kitana I think that might be all Im sure im forgetting some
