@fmarnett Yeah, this is a point tournament, where the focus is on speed and precision, not power. However, there are several professional boxers, kickboxers, and MMA fighters that use the same principles as in point fighting (for MMA, because that's what you mentioned, check some of the Anderson...

*sigh* People need to realize that costumes in music are nothing new. BVB is just doing the same thing that Alice Cooper, Kiss, and so many other bands have done. It's all about putting on a show, and that's all there is to it. Putting on an outfit for a show doesn't make you "emo" or any othe...

People who say "Karate fighters kick like this, but MT fighters kick like this, and (Insert Opinion here)" are wrong. There is no "karate kick." While, and I can only speak for the style of karate I've trained in, most of our kicks snap, for the reason that they are harder to catch and easier t...

After all these comments calling each other "Douchebags," I've been inspired to walk up to the first person I see and call them a gabehcuod. :D:D

@Resifanboy That's not entirely true. While I'm personally not a fan of jump kicks, they can be quite effective(See Machida's KO on Couture for a visual). I've have ribs cracked before running into a jump-spin back kick, and the man who threw it was only about 160lbs. Also, techniques are all...

@jaquesgrobler2 I honestly could not like this enough. While TKD was not the first style I trained in, my instructor taught me both karate and TKD, one for in-close fighting and one for long range and evasion. The TKD club/school I trained in though was headed by a world champeon and several of...

I'm officially making this the theme song to my life.

@MrJahsmoke What they don't show here is that when you throw this kick (At least, I was taught this way), you curl your toes back and strike with the ball of the foot, not the toe. However, it IS possible to condition the toes to become more resiliant to injury, much like fingers can be conditio...

There is NO way these two were the same weight class...

Why is it that every time I look at any martial arts-related video, the top rated comments have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VIDEO.

And, on that note, I love muffins.

I have a question about the stance used in this Naihanchi, as I am an Isshin-ryu green belt and the Naihanchi I learned uses the same stance. What, from your style's point of view, are the advantages of said stance? I'm just looking for a different perspective, for I am curious by nature. :)

@WtfRuud Exactly. If you look at music as a whole, you see the same chord progressions, the same rythems, hell, even the same melodies: all that differs is approach. Musicians need to work together instead of against each other. People just have this overwhelming need to judge everything these ...

It's fairly obvious from watching this he was not applying power while demonstrating, only showing technique. I mean, after a whole day of full power kata demonstrations, I know I tend to want a short nap. :)

Man, what you gonna do? I'm so bad, I can knock yo trash can over... TWICE!!!

I rofled for the rest of the vid. :D

I always get a good laugh out of people that claim "Oh, X style is better than Y style," when the first lesson I learned in my training was that of mutual respect. There is no best or worst style, just individual fighters and their respective abilities. Besides this point, (and this part is for...

*sigh* All these elitist haters are making me want to vomit. Any and all fighting styles are essentially the same: block, hit, block, break bone, etc. It's just the method they go about accomplishing these feats differ to some degree, which is why different styles suit different individuals. ...

Recent playlist: Escape the Fate, Five Finger Death Punch, Steve Vai, Cascada. I feel like a winner.

@faron27 You'll also hate the thing with a passion before it's over! :D

Dude... that jacket... :D:D:D:D:D:D
