<br><br>Yes, I just read it last month actually, Karate-Do: My
Way of Life. Fascinating book. I'm guessing that
you're referring to his quote about spirit and intent,
and that without the proper mindset you are not doing
karate, you are just waving your limbs about (poorly
summarized, sorry).

hmmm... i don't have no. 6 with a double factor block. i have it with block 1, with an outside dragon trap, and also just a kick with no block at all (to work...
My instuctor also feels that the timing of the kick is enough to render the blocks redundant. However, in our system, we teach no.6 at white belt, and we wnat...
Yes, same with us. At lower levels, you learn no.6 with a block. Lower intermediate you learn with a dragon trap, then uppper intermediate you work on just ...
Concerning the differences btwn leopard and tiger techn.s. Does anyone else find that most tiger techn.s incorporate some kind of trap or lock(wether you use...
Many of the leopard techniques I have hit to disable joints. I don't know if this is true for everyone.<br><br>The tiger techniques tend to be "strong" in the...
I have a couple questions on no.4 actually. After the redirect and face rake, I've learned 2 different kicks. Originally, I learned it as a downward ball ...

Still with me? I just love the way this technique flows =) <br><br>I just went to the store room and tried it out. It makes perfect sense. My earlier confusion...

. In fact we do what i call mine games where the students attack one person in the middle. The middle person defends him/her self from differant attackers at ...
Many of the no.s work very well agaist kicks. I sometimes pick three or four kicks or kick combinations and have my students find which no.s work best then...
Far too often I see attacks that would only incapacitate someone if they fell down laughing at the attacker (Although this sounds hilarious I'm dead serious ...
I agree with you, and the only thing I would add is that this is only a higher rank problem b/c it is not corrected enough at lower belt levels. I knew one ...

Take something as simple as the retraction of a punch. We have studied such a movement to be used<br><br>1) as a block<br>2) as a strike<br>3) as a ...
Personally, I am very wary of transfering one type of techn. to another esp. when it changes from a punch or kick or even club to a knife techn. It can be done...
