True, but a grown man would have time to react the way the kids just stood there like that. Back when I took Karate, our teacher taught us to NEVER kick above the stomach. A kick to the head can be devastating, but when you kick that high, if your opponent catches your foot, you're pretty much GOING to get hurt. "TKD fancy stuff". :)Quote:

They glanced off the top of my head i then took him down and choked him so easily. Ive also do another 'sort' of martial art called urban combatives,lots of nasty impoact work for power and striking. Ive held the pads for karate guys and they harness IMO no power.
IMO Judo OWNS everything else as a standalone martial art style versus style (I'm biased but its true ;D) its widely regarded as the best form of self defence by REAL people who know violence ie Bouncers etc.
Also you mention all your mate did was throw you? Have you ever been thrown onto a hard surface by a competent Judoka? I thought not. I'm betting your mate was a low grade. Not wishing to brag but if someone of any decent level threw you onto a hard surface you would not be getting up. Add to the fact you were kids. Things get a bit different and nastier in the seniors mate.
boxing is a MA.Quote:

We set ground rules so it's not full contact, its sparring.
First of he get's in his gi & bare foot, I'm in regular clothes & trainers. Ding ding, he gets his foot stomped on so we have to stop for him to put his trainers back on. He keeps trying all these fancy head kicks, spinning jumping crap you can see coming for miles so back off or push forward and he's off balance. I just keep kicking his shins and knees. In the end he calls it quits and his legs are fucked.
If you train for a sport fine, realise it's a sport if you train for self defense you need to keep some realism keep it simple and drill and drill and drill till you don't need to think you just act.
Still. nice Ko :)
Is it wrong that these posts of yours are really turning me on ;DQuote:

I'm in love ;D
I meant another sort of drilling :hubbahubba:
Filth ;D
