Love Karate :)

[mustlovecinema]

I love Karate and Kung Fu and really love watching movies that have great martial arts in them. I was so excited when the new movie “Films of Fury” finally came out on demand because it has some of the best martial arts clips and movie scenes ever! bitly .com/uBGPir

@Sabre809 Yes, it's called "kiai" (kee - AYE). The word can be broken up into "ki" (inner force/power/strength) and "ai" (projection). When you kiai, you shout out "Ai", "Ah", or something similar. It serves two purposes: 1) It's the physical and forceful manifestation of your fighting spirit. 2) It forces you to exhale on the strike, the same way you exhale on the power stroke in weightlifting.

@scaife4589 There are five criteria to score a point: there must be an attack, it has to have kime (total focus), it must have proper distance (enough space for nearly full extention, not stopping too short or being too far away), proper timing, and the attacker must maintain zanshin. The difference between karate and something like MMA is control - karate-ka are expected to attack with enough control that they "could" make full contact and knock out the other guy, but they don't.

How can you win with just one punch or kick landed. If there not knocked out the fight is still on. This is bent!.

[DexterHaven49]

@zamba1011 Yes, you develop the habit of pulling punches and not punching through a target. Also, point fighting is messy and dangerous. I fought in tournaments in California in the '80s when it was popular. I broke my thumb in one fight, hurt my ankle on a kick block badly, and saw a guy duck into a reverse punch to the body, so it hit his face and broke his orbital bone. I got my nose slashed by a thumbnail in another fight. Lots of little injuries happen. It's wild. So keep fighting too long.

[MsKaratekid007]

respect karate!oss!

[RegineWuzzHere]

@zamba1011 No. But after I move to california in 2 days I plan to get in some. Preferably "Wu Shu" king fu. I like how they use the pressure point techniques in such a way that cuases even more pain... I'm no a sadist. lol

[zamba1011]

@BandakaKush Both of you have a point although I prefer to simulate street fighting...In point fighting, you develop fast reflexes but most of the times you deliver soft and controlled "hits".

[zamba1011]

@karatemma2death This is typical to all Japanese and Okinawan styles buddy.

[zamba1011]

@RegineWuzzHere It is always been like this in international traditional karate competition..are you in any martial arts training?

[Sabre809]

@verhoogje Its called a kia or something like that right? Done to show force? And another type of scream is when your terrified of the guy who's about to kick you in the face.
