Re: Internal Power

I'd highly recommend kettlebells. The TRX is great but requires a bit more space. I've been working with them for about 8 months and the difference has been noticeable in my balance and power.

Re: Killing me softly

Acer, you need to ask yourself how come these practices are still around if no one teaches them.. Reading this : He used Ju Jitsu techniques, Judo techniques, and Aikido techniques.

Is that a red herring I see before me Watson?

Maybe a red herring, perhaps prepubescence.

Or maybe Mr. Guise21 had it right a few posts back.

Those hook punches seem to come from nowhere.....

Where's the WA?

I am sure many of you have seen this but for those that haven't it's a candid, well documented presentation of a complex story of the financial meltdown. Inside Job by Charles Ferguson. Too bad we couldn't line up many of the culprits for a good round of jiyu.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzrBu...

Re: Renzoku waza

Hi Claas, (Santa Claas?) Conveying the dont push but push is the difficult part of teaching where people want an answer in words as opposed to an answer in feeling. The propulsion is blended into the process hence telling people not to push, first. We constantly remind people about dropping their w...

Re: Karate Gi suggestions

Try this list of suppliers: Tokyo shureido has changed its name to Toyodo now, but I think that is one of the shops which caters to foreign visitors more frequently as its easy to find.

Sure,someone doesn’t agree with us,his argument cant shoot down so let just lie called him stupid and troll... That will fix everything... Acer, It isn't the premise which is at issue, it is the endless repetition across threads. Several people have supported your view that hook punch training is a...

Re: Youtube stuff

I was watching a TV programme the other day and it discussed language. One point it picked up one was the more directness that north Americans use and expect whilst say the Brits might hint at some initially and work towards the actual point in a negotiated way. Yanks need it spelling out. Indeed, ...
