When you pick up a weapon of Okinawan origin, you step into the art of kobudo. I believe the proper term is 'poseur'. XMA is lotsa flash, no substance. I pay it no mind. I used to- drove me nuts. Now, do what ya want. You'll still be a hollow practitioner- no understanding of the depth you missed in jumping, screaming and prostrating for trophies.

A master at 18? Good for you. I see little has changed about attitude in TKD in 20 years. But thanks for not polluting your reply with an f-bomb.

so you claim to be a master....and all this at 18 years of age.....I will leave it at that

[Matacuz]

False hope.

whats the name of the song karate kid ?

[rakira1313]

Way to show the kid some break dancing! What!! This is a Kata? A Tournament winning one? Well I hope his kicks, i mean Kamas, will at least scare any attackers that's all this Kata is good for. *sigh* It seems they'll give a black belt to anyone these days.

I met the XMA regional "champ" a few years ago. He was doing his fancy moves with a bo. I asked for him to lend me his bo to practice a kata. This thing (as all exhibition/XMA weapons) weighted maybe a couple of onces and seemed hollow. Practiced a good Okinawan Shuji No Kon kata, and there it goes the stupid thing just snapped in two after a couple of swings. XMA is nothing more than glorified gymnastics. But again, it is the fools game they prefer. Keep on collecting trophies guys.
