Hey Jeff... not to get political...but I agree. My sifu always said
that live sparring and all the "other" sports that have "move or
lose" built into their skills is GOOD for you... as you said,, it
will sooner or later teach you to move.

Osu!

an issolated incident and she had blame no one.  Sorry it seems that
the schools are taking alot of things away from the kids now a days,
not just only in sports.

Well the site has been pretty darn quit and I know it is the holidays.
So every one bring in the New Year with hopes of our troops coming home
from the far away places in the world safely.

tell us a little about your kickboxing style and any other style you
train in. i saw a test of how powerful different strikes are. i think
it was on espn. your knee strikes are really powerful. i like the knee
blocks personally.

merrychristmas and a hapy new year to the group

well, its kinda like this....

Public schools are about to remove Dodgeball from their list of sports.
and ALL soccer players (AYSO and the like) are not allowed to use any
head techniques...  apparently, they've found it causes minor brain
damage which only shows later in life....

So,,, although Ali and other great fighters have the same brain
damage,,, can we assume that MA is any different?

Don't get me wrong... I say, that if anyone wants to sign their own
death warrant,,, or future of being able to think, walk or anything
else it shoudl be up to them...

The questions comes down to $$$... will the insurance industry be
willing to insure someone who takes on this kind of "work"?

Ciao,

what about traing would you like to talk about. we have discussed
using house hold things to make inexpensive traing aids. rick has a
good book on this that he wrote. traing tips ect. what is your style?
we also talked about striking points. there is a file in the file
section on it.

to all new members. tell us a little about yourself and your style.and
any other martial arts topic you want and feel free to ask any
questions. we will answer them.

Just saying hi.  How's training everyone?

Great to see this group.  Hope I can contribute

Punong Guro Tony Marcial is my long time Kali instructor. I meet him over 20 years ago, and I still find myself going back to Ohio to train with him. He brought his Kali to America and is one of the best I have ever seen. Now, I  would like to share this video with you. Enjoy....

its harder to moderate this group then my other one. because you have
to make sure that its a legedimte self defense site or martial arts.we
all have made the same mistake once or twice.
