    You are a young fella hey?
    You should just once while you can ,step into a ring with an above average boxer and see how far our martial arts expertise gets us,
    'Its not very far belive me'.
    To be honest my kungfu isnt suited to anything other than complete open hand fighting with no rules and we are overpowered in gloves becuase we train for speed and pressure points or the softer lethal targets; your karate is the complete reverse it has more power and becuase of that ,it has many overcomitted actions that boxers can see coming from a mile away and they have the added space left in the guard that it creates.
    I think boxers have undiscovered things they could use from both sides of the fence here but there are limits of course.
    No argument there. Karatemen will not do well in the boxing ring fighting with boxing rules and gloves, no question about that. But outside the ring in a raw hand-to-hand fight, that's another story. But I have to say that most of the so called martial arts in the western countries are 'fakish' by our standards. If I wear any kind of those mittens they wear on those martial arts fights shown on the tv and hit anyone in the jaw, I can crack it really badly. We train in a very different manner there in Okinawa, the home of karate, where we're routinely brutalized. Our bodies are pounded with heavy sticks during kata exercises and our fists are made really tough hitting hard objects, of course starting gradually from soft to hard. We can take them because the essential part of the routine kata exercises is to stiffen, or tensing of, our whole body - the so-called isometric exercisess - as well as relaxing it, until we learn to control every part of the body at willl. Most people don't know this but when we strike, be it with fists or feet, we put the whole body strenght into it. We even learn few technics that can put anyone to out with just one shot, no kiddin'... By the way, I'm not 'that' young - just pretending to be one.

    Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

    Nice to know that you're a good karateka. My sensei before would usually praise me for my strength. May be it's because I know your punching technique. hehehe. Even in the way I kick, he would usually make me a model for his other students.

    I miss the giving of belts when we were promoted to higher belt rank. We were really tortured and I had to prepare and practice really hard including stiffening my stomach(abs).hehehe.

    Yup, really tough training. Actually, I got sick after over-training and just turned to meditation after that. I did the 'horse-stance' exercise too long and damaged my intestine. You know the horse-stance position exercise or the 'naihanchi' is an essential part of Okinawan karate training because it develops your abdominal, thigh, hip and leg muscles necessarly for sturdy stance and solid kicks. Now I just do shadow boxing everyday in my house to keep fit. Kawawa me.

    What a coincidence! I have been into meditation also after my karate days.I'm not into meditation anymore.
