Black net, i c that edit D:

[Laconicus]

Grats. I'm actually a 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo but I seriously suck at it. xD What martial art do you do?

[Kazuni]

I quit taekwondo a year after I got black belt. School was too busy.

[Moppy]

Taekwondo.

:D

[Laconicus]

Lol everyone seems to do taekwondo! I quit when I entered high school though. I got my jr. black belt when I was 8-ish I think, because I was good for my age (I guess). Then I quit and came back when I was 12 and my new instructor started me out at black belt because he didn't believe in jr. black belts. And then he advanced me even further because I was good at poomsae. xD I kinda miss taekwondo though :T_T:

Geez, I hated poomsae. I prefer board breaking. I love cracking wood <3... I had to break a brick with my hand for black belt test ._. I baked it in an oven beforehand so it was all crumbly. Piece of cake (: .

[RicochetOrange]

Congradulations! You could beat me too a pulp!

[Moppy]

Congradulations! You could beat me too a pulp!

:\

Probably.

[Laconicus]

lol :XD: Poomsae was the only thing I was good at and I liked it a lot. We didn't do breaking much but we did sparring often. I had to spar my sabeom's son for one of my advancement tests... and his son just so happens to be participating in the 2012 Olympics. :XD: I'm surprised that I did good enough to advance lol

I did sparring for three months before my black belt test because I had to. I was 12, and I had to choose between a class filled with hulking giants (age 13+ but it was really adults) and a class full of kids up to my waist. I had to beat up little midgets. Ohh boy.

[Lan]

I tried judo...almost got kicked out on my first class almost flipping some kid ^_^

Scaring little kids is so fun.

Just yell and they jump.

[Laconicus]

Rofl that sounds like fun. Since I was a black belt I was pretty much forced to volunteer to help with the kids' classes. I never got to beat them up though. :XD:

[Arsik]

I'm a master of Capoeira, so I can take you anyday. (I wish. D:)

[Cucurbita]

I studied under taekwondo major graduates from korea... all 6-8th degrees...
They almost killed me every day. D:

It was military style.

I have a 2nd degree tested by a 9th degree. I was in bed for 5 days after the exam from the strain it put on me.

Scared of the 3rd degree exam, I quit taekwondo.

My instructor is 5th degree and is epicly laid-back. No surprise, since the class I'm in is all elementary kids except for me, my friend and some old people...

o.O

[Lonesky]

Kazu sounds so scary I prob should stop teasing her in game O.O

And gratz on the red belt mop :D

I happen to take a martial arts too, it's called Aikido...

[Mrlucky77]

I should take Taekwondo later. Or maybe Hap-ki-do. Or ninjutsu(lol).

[Arsik]

Learn Capoeira. It's not only a martial art, but also break dancing. What better way to win cool points than break dancing over a person you knocked out with one extremely powerful kick your opponent didn't see coming?

Do you WINDMILL?!

[Kazuni]

Do you WINDMILL?!

Damn, I'd like to wm irl.

[Arsik]

Not me personally, since I don't know Capoeira, even though I always wanted to learn it after seeing Eddy Gordo using it in Tekken 3. But you could Windmill and beat many people, since you're also swaying here and there, confusing a person who hasn't caught on to what your inner beat is.

[Lonesky]

I just realized you probably could break your neck wming irl... :what:

[honeymuffin]

IF you wanna fight really well (helps a lot in actual situation),
then why don't you try wrestling team?
I joined and I have been in the team for like 2 Years and I became master of Combat?
lol anyways I am serious about the team...
It helps more.

[Arsik]

I just realized you probably could break your neck wming irl... :what:

Only if you do it wrong. And by wrong, I mean so wrong where you break your neck.

The breakdancing WM that people recognize is called flaring, which is still fairly easy to do if you know how. It's more spinning on your shoulders than your neck, as seen here:

I'll pass up on wearing a leotard and rubbing up against other guys, thank you very much.

[Lonesky]

Yea I know, I was just joking, even then, I prefer to keep my feet on the ground most of the time...

[Cucurbita]

Taekwondo is mostly balance and technique. The truth to fighting is that your black belt means nothing without actual fighting experience.

If you want to fight well (uhh, why?), hapkido is one of the most practical martial arts for self defense.
Never took it because most attacks it teaches is lethal.

I think I should take hapkido cause I really really REALLY want to beat this complete a-hole up.

[Cucurbita]

Its self defense where if someone attacks you, you'll be charged with manslaughter 2 minutes later.

Taekwondo isn't bad though, I've learned to minimize damage, and that the best attacks are jabs aimed quickly at the chin/cheeks with your knuckles. Its also the only standard martial arts acknowledged for the olympics.

Don't do any flashy kicks. Those exist for technique/balance toning and to look bad ass in general.

It all comes down to putting your whole body in a side/roundhouse kick (only when proper distance is met).

[BobYoMeowMeow]

Mixed Martial arts is really popular as opposed to single styles thanks to UFC
people are all like
WHY DO I HAVE TO WASTE TIME MASTERING THIS ONE STYLE AND INSTEAD COMBINE ALL THESE RANDOM STYLES TOGETHERS HURR

The cat has no idea if there's any benefits to that sort of thing.
Kitae, the cat would like to know if ur taekwondo studio has "restrictions" such as no attacks that can cause even a bruise etc.
Master says Taekwondo studios have a large range of rules
One teaching minimal damage and contact and another encouraging power where chest pads are needed.

[Cucurbita]

Oh god, no.
Each session had me hurting at the end.

And attacks we learn are meant for making your opponent incapable of fighting.

For sparring, yes pads are a must.A single proper kick can rupture organs for bust ribs, you know.

My reverse side kick measured at 800 lb/inch^2 pressure. A cat would die instantly, unless he's a thundercat.

Krav Maga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krav_Maga)

Supposed to be one of the most brutal forms of martial arts out there. If you ever uh, DO want to kill the guy.

Master asked if you ever did a back kick

[Athde]

I do 2.
Tae-Kwon-Do: Red-Belt(Stalled due to tournaments)
MMA: Well... I'm 14... Can't fight till im 16.... Although I do kick pretty hard....:pick:
Huh... Damn Child-abuse laws:mad2:...Watch... I'll be regretting saying that in a couple of years.:pain:

[Lonesky]

Krav Maga reminds me of this TV series where these two guys travel around the world learning different martial arts, it was called Fight Quest or something...

[Cucurbita]

Master asked if you ever did a back kick

Not sure what you refer to in a back kick, but I've done them all.

The most challenging is usually a high jump spin hook kick, or the 540-720 spin kick (this thing is bs and not in any way at all useful in a fight).

The 540-720 kick exists to get you laid, end of uses.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlSUUAw5beg

This took me like 3 months to do without landing on my ass. Waste of time? Yes.

[Lonesky]

Holy cow, now that takes some skill @_@

I don't know whether to do hapkido or taekwondo... :P

[Lonesky]

Btw is it just me or did you change the video like almost after you posted it?

[Cucurbita]

Its nothing different from, say, playing an instrument.

Base work by beginner balance/footwork and overall fitness training.
Practice 30 minutes a day.
Learn 180 kick. Master it.
Learn 360 kick. Master it.
Try consecutive 360-180 kick.
Learn 540 kick. Haul ass. Hate gravity. Get dizzy. Master it.
Learn 720 kick. Call bs on life. Sprain a foot. Curse physics. Master it.

Set this plan in... say... 2 years if you have real talent. 5 years if you're human.

No one can play Flight of the Bumblebees on a violin on their first year of instrument practice. Remember to pace yourself.

[Lonesky]

:!!: You did change your vid, and edited your post saying that you can finally do it without landing on your ass...

and how long has kitae been doing martial arts? O.O

I've only gotten consecutive 360-180. Being fairly average in PE and such, I don't think I could get 540. Doesn't help that I stopped going to lessons six months ago.

[BobYoMeowMeow]

Back kick is this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSt3mMtabWo


It looks like a reverse back kick
but instead you don't turn to see your target
ur back is showing when u start to kick

Force >1400 lbs

If kitae can do it, you can do it owo.

[Cucurbita]

I did martial arts for 7 years.

And cat, yes. the spin back kick is one of the simpler yet more brutal techniques in martial arts.



If kitae can do it, you can do it owo.

3 months of bruising my butt and blaming god for physics unlocked 540 for me. This was AFTER perfecting the 360-180 consecutive.
Gave up with 720. Its bull****.

There no point. A solid fist to the cheek bones has more or less the same effect. Cept you don't risk being off balance at landing.

I'm a little girl with a vicious nature. It doesn't make me able to do a 540 though :\ .
I tried that when I went to the black belt class after my test.. didn't work out so well. Yeah, I did practice a lot.

If it makes you feel better, I cant do it anymore. Rusty.
I can still do 360-180 though. Really nailed that one with excessive years of repetition.

[Athde]

I do that in tournaments XD
Really though I struggle (Damn flexibility) but if it were a real fight... It wouldn't aim high... Just so you know.

Punishable, more blockable. I'm flexible though.

Sherlock Holmes shows the effect of clapping against the ear.
In the opening the breaks the opponent's knees to prevent movement. Attacking the legs isn't a bad idea. Shin kicks hurt like f---, and low licks can break leg bones.

The overall key is to keep your distance. If it gets too close, you can't kick, and lose all taekwondo advantage. There are a few techniques like elbow strikes to free space, but if you get that close, its already a match of force. Just bear hug or knee and hope for the best.

[Athde]

Or run like hell.

[Cucurbita]

hey kids, this is always choice priority.

Chances are, you just wanna call the cops and run. Unless you have a taser.

[Kazuni]

One of the instructors who taught my class from before always had these neat tricks where you twist and bend the other person's limbs/grab their jaw/etc etc, and unless your opponent has some serious brute force and little regard for pain, it works really well in getting them down so you can run, or so you can hold them still until the cops arrive.

Yeah, those are common.

Whats uncommon are certain pressure points that can impact your body. Never been taught, but I was always the sandbag dummy for demonstrations.
He pushed on my arm and my legs instantly tumbled over. It was so bs.

Trufax is true. I never got used for examples though, a) I'm a girl. Lol. b) There was a bigger fatter guy in our class that our teacher found more menacing and a better example for a demonstration. I mean, flipping a little girl around doesn't prove much.

I'm.. not familiar with american measurements. :gloom2:
I'm 165cm high, and can be flipped over by anyone easily. It's really sad, until I get to the point where I'm really pissed off. Then I tend to overkill it. :mad:

[Cucurbita]

5'7" = 170 cm

[Athde]

Im barely taller... Although i am White(Caucasian preferably...It has asian in it.) I stand at 5'8 1/4 (Got measured today :D)
Kazuni that'd make you about 5.4 sumthing.

[Kazuni]

[Athde]

Hey I was off... I think... Hold on... Theres only so much the calculator that comes on the computer can tell you...

[Cucurbita]

5'6" is appropriate for a girl.

My ex was 5'9". Not cool when your girl is 2" taller than you.

[Athde]

^
You said it XD

[Zephyri]

Around 157cm here. Now you feel tall..er :D

[Osayidan]

i'm in the 180cm range :<

I used to study aikido in highschool, but then i damaged a muscle in my shoulder playing badminton. Now my right shoulder isn't very flexible anymore so I haven't done anything serious since then, I just practice punches and balance now. With my size it's enough for most anything unless I'm matched up against a sumo wrestler.

[Lonesky]

Osayidan took Aikido :XD:

*high five*

[Papaya Pok Pok]

Eh.. I use to take Taekwondo when I was like.. 10-ish, but I quit when I got to green belt..

It was too boring :|

Just get your black belt by leaving a white belt in the garage for a long time.
