Molson style Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 this is what i could think of, or not so bad but just not so good. 1.u'll be injurred all the time if u practice full contact and/or go real hard core 2.u won't be able to enjoy a good action movie without realizing how fake the fight scenes are.
Kensai Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 Very true, especially number 2. Apart from Bruce Lee, Jet Li and Steven Seagal films. Also, I think when you tell people that you do MA's, they will do there upmost to make sure the technique you are trying to show them does'nt work. take Care.
Kenpo123 Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 Sorry, can't participate on this one. I live in the "Positive" and want to stay in the "Positive". Just keep saying to yourself: "Positive Self Talk" , "Positive Self Talk" , "Positive Self Talk" , "Positive Self Talk" It's like a self fulfilling prophecy, stay focused on the positive and positive things will happen. Focus on the bad things and ......... Lead, Follow or Get Out of the WayKenpo - BrownTKD - Advanced Green
ramymensa Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 1.u'll be injurred all the time if u practice full contact and/or go real hard core 2.u won't be able to enjoy a good action movie without realizing how fake the fight scenes are. Right on both things You always get injured and if you're a girl they would stare at you as if you would have come from Mars About those awful fight scenes... you should hear me comment on them ... My folks sait they would throw the TV set if I continued being obnoxious. What do they mean? World Shotokan Karate
karatekid1975 Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 So true, Molson. Specially #2. I watch a MA film and scream at the TV, don't do that, or that was fake, or that's not possible (like flying), ect LOL. Laurie F
BlueDragon1981 Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 Yep I do the same on number two. However I look at every fight scene and see if there is something that will work. Then I try it in the dojo. I also respect some of the people for their athletic ability because some of that I could never do. Basically I analyze everything. (Thats just my nature I guess). As for getting injured. I got more injuries from football than from MA. Well bad injuries anyway. I get a lot of bumps and bruises and even some minor breaks for MA. Hurt my shoulder and knee probably for life with football. So MA in some respects allows you to train your body to either recieve a strike or not even take a strike without much pain. I do hate wire stunts....crouching tiger hidden dragon comes to mind.
KickChick Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 First and foremost people seem to forget that you are only human ..... and sometimes we do too! Aside from that, ... injuries are the sucky part!
ZeRo Posted December 2, 2002 Posted December 2, 2002 injuries and the fact that people want to test me and see how "hard" i am. which is quite anoying. and i think the worst thing is people seem to want to take the piss outa me for it?? its stupid and shallow.
Molson style Posted December 2, 2002 Author Posted December 2, 2002 i actually kinda enjoy showing off a lil. I wouldn't just start real fights and beat the **** out of ppl for no reason though, i only do that in the ring.
Karateka_latino Posted December 3, 2002 Posted December 3, 2002 Go to a party with your friends and if any of them get into trouble they all wait you act like Batman and save them... they even feel they can make problems because they have there own personal Black belt bodyguard. " I warn you to not mess with me because my friend overthere ( you are on a corner talking with a girl, not knowing what's happening in the other side of the room) Is a karate black belt and he'll kick your butt " lol
