american karate

[JDMJAYDC2]

I love mma but it has made alot of young ass kids turn into punks, and they forget about the true meaning of martial arts.I am trying to get into some judo myself or a temple style karate because it makes the mind stronger i think.

very true when i was DEEP into it i felt a peace that i cant explain

I got a $20 bill that says otherwise

your funny im out of shape but far from not knowing what i was taught

I'm a bjj guy myself, how long did it take you to get your bb in TKD?

BJJ huh ive read up on it and actually went to a few tournaments here lately to watch some students seems very well rounded as well as far as my blackbelt i started when i was 8 and got it when i was 17 took me a long time to get my form down i had the sparring skill i just hate forms so the last one took me a while. i was always in the advanced class and at age 12 i was in the adult class sparring with them

Karate actually isnt that bad, just all the wrong people are trying to teach it. Movies completely ruined the martial art with dumbass choreography. It is def a legitimate form of self defense and can be very effective. Most people who were actually good at it never made a black belt. Just find someone who is legit and you would soon find out why they dont get ranked for years if at all.

lol finding someone is hard i mean i give the art its props its ok from what ive seen its just when you match up a american karate guy with say a jujitsu guy the karate guy gets his ass kicked seems as if they teach nothing that helps in close combat.

ive been doing muay thai, at an mma gym, for 4 years or so off and on. It seems that tkd students are not used to geting hit hard. the more well rounded you are the better.

well its about not getting hit at all most of the moves are defensive so it wouldnt allow you to get hit. I was in adult classes so i got hit alot by bigger and stronger guys i always wanted to spar with black belts and belts higher than me.
