I find most Karateka in SEA games and some Championship competitions were just mostly doing hook kicks and frantically run here and there. Competes in BJJ. I've been training in different styles for 42 years. Damn autocorrect. (Especially in a style which lost against Bruce Lee? Smells like McDojo Heh. In my dojo we use a foam one, but like we don't have a specific name for it (we don't call it a baseball bat) does it still count? *taking notes* and how much could I charge for those again? You mean Practice or practice, because after an exclamation point; you normally capitalize. The Belgian Police academy has incorporated some of Kissaki's techniques into its training manual. Our real requirement was attitude and learning the system and put it into practice. Every real master of martial arts has numerous documents and images of the fights he has won. You don't have to worry about the other hand attacking you. The levels are intensity are something like: drills < positional sparring < light contact < full contact < competition < street fights. Sensei has extremely high ranks in more than 5 completely different martial arts Good list here, although I'll step in here and disagree with 85. Thank you. :> we call our teacher sensei. Some will be terrible at Kumite, some will be incapable of memorizing even the simplest of Kata. What is kobudo? Oooh such snobs in martial arts! On the contrary, a real sensei will never rush you into the next level until you are ready for it. Jesse-san, could I translate the list (well, it'll take some time, let's say in the future) and show it to some of my friends practitioners? Your sensei studied marketing longer than Karate. Jesse-san is there any mcdojos that exist in japan? Definitely stay away martial arts instructors who are involved with metaphysics. Another sign: your reputation as an expert is solely from contriving arguments that other styles or schools are fake 'bullshido', based on your own lack of knowledge/training and some video taken completely out of context. That's an excellent example, and one that I completely agree with because kata has become used as a padding or an aesthetic. I'm Japanese. For example the krav maga worldwide curriculum has some stuff I dont like, but overall seems very complete.
