younwhadoug Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 we have classes with nothing but hand work and i really enjoy it. blocking a kick you see coming feels good but being able to block fast hard punches feels better. i'm glad your enjoying it and found what youve been looking for. be polite, be patient, be alert, be brave, do your best, respect yourself and others.

cross Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 what prompted that?A number of reasons. I really enjoy my karate training, but recently i was looking for some "answers" and i didnt think my karate training was providing me with these. But after doing boxing for a short while it didnt really have the answers either, so i did alot of searching and started looking deeper into my karate and realise it will be better for me in the long term.

pocketcoffee Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 My first ever ring fight gave me way more reference material for my more traditional art than I ever had before. You can simulate how other styles fight as much as you like in your normal class but there's nothing like being punched and kicked by a kick-boxer to show you how they really do things. what do i know, i'm an idiot.

bushido_man96 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 It sounds like a good time. I have always had great admiration of the coditioning that both boxers and wrestlers have. I know that I am no where close to being in that kind of shape.Incidentally, Cross, why not train both? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baronbvp Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I find that there is something of value on every style I've tried. Over my life, I have done some judo, wrestling, boxing, Shotokan, kung fu, combat arts, and Shorin Ryu. Most of it was one on one or in small classes. I am about to start a KB class that goes three months. After that, I expect to take a BJJ class that goes three months. It's all good. Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.Martial arts are like kinetic chess. Your move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 At that class the coach really wanted nothing to do with anyone who wasnt interested in competing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
