Too bad you are so upset:) The foremost thing in Oriental Martial Arts, esp. Chinese, is LiYi(礼仪) or Ri, which happens to be "Manners". Its the first thing you learn in a dojo or school, LiYi also comes with humility. What ever you claim to be learning, from your Sifu you have not learnt humility or manners. Another shallow swaggering internet tough guy I guess:)

Variations? What do you mean?

[NYKgjl10]

You will eat those words one day if you bump into a Karateka that will use these resemblance move in Variations for street situation.....That is why people like you will never understand Karate Katas.

[BigDog91527]

Karate is bullshit, all you learn is fancy moves and blocks with no resemblence to a real-life fight.

the bone will break, but just a bit. then it will heal and become thicker and harder. it's okay as long as you dont do it to often

Wow, this guy is incredible. Proof of what discipline and dedication can bring you. And still very humble, the way a martial artist should be.
