amp Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I'm getting tired of everyone just calling everything karate. It gets old fast. Karate can be... o Self-defense for women o Classes for kids trying to kick Ritalin o A more physical form of babysitting o Physical fitness routine o Wreckless fighting o Sloppy get-rich-quick schemes o Misguided teachings o Respectable defense systems o Traditional systems o Frightenly effective fighting styles If you're on this BB and you enjoy your style of karate/kempo/kenpo, tell us what it is and why you're sticking with it. I'm training in Ryukyu Kempo Karate right now. It's very traditional and horrifically effective. It's effective to the point that I now fully understand why people who train in Kempo are considered weapons more so than many styles. Know thyself.

BKJ1216 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I thought that thing about registereing yourself as a weapon was all a rumor. I really don't have an idea of what it's like in a dojo yet, i still haven't been in any of my local ones. White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I thought that thing about registereing yourself as a weapon was all a rumor. But wasn't Mel Gibson's charater (Martin Riggs) a Leathal Weapon? Why would hollywood make this up?

jmy77 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I thought that thing about registereing yourself as a weapon was all a rumor. More of a pick-up line...

Iron Fist 05 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 how can you register yourself as a weapon? "By the time I was fifteen, I became a white belt." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKJ1216 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I'm not sure, but I know that a lot of people make rumors like that. I heard a while ago that as soon as your 1st Kyu you have to register yourself as a deadly weapon, so if you ever assulted anywon it would be assult with a deadly wepon. Oh yeah amp what about american kenpo? There is a dojo near by that says american kenpo. White Belt- Shudokan Karate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandanPJ Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 When you reach dan rank you don't register your hands as weapons. It is funny how some people actually believe this. I hope no one in here does. Kenpo Karate is a good mix of Shotokan, Kajakenbo, Juijitsu, and Boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
