Treebranch Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 What is it going to take 10 years to see any results? Screw that dude learn something more practical if you're already doubting it.

battousai16 Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 and, i may have read you wrong, but quite frankly, i don't see how a punching bag could NOT help in the martial arts. if you can't apply your techniques to striking someone, much less a bag of sand, you're probably not in the right place.

Drunken Monkey Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 what happened to the 'grasshopper'? and as far as i'm aware, there is a hell of a lot of hard training in mantis, specifically for the 'tik bo sam' and 'heut sar cheung'. then again, i might've got my mantis's mixed up. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
John G Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Kung Fu teaches defence techniques by avoiding fighting force with force wherever possible through positioning and deflection. At first Karate/TKD etc seem to be about tense strength, but after a while you learn that technique, speed and agility cater for most circumstances. Someone said to me many years ago that TKD wont make you fit, but you have to be fit to do it. I guess the same goes for Kung Fu and Karate. Respectfully, John G Jarrett III Dan, ITF Taekwon-Do
aznkarateboi Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 dont you learn grasshopper kung fu? don't you? your a bit inconsistent i daresay. in a recent post you were telling us of the merits of the double jump kick and suddenly your a woeful mantis practitioner? what is this?
Drunken Monkey Posted December 3, 2003 Posted December 3, 2003 shh, don't blow his cover.... post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
