That's the problem with Kiwis, they think that taunting sheep and humans are the same thing... ?!? ;p I reckon those Fijians must have been quite small......
Hi Kan and Tom There are some massive Kiwi's too though. I think that anyone trying to snake a six-on-two strongarm robbery is likely to back off sharpish when...
Hi All No discussion on this? Okinawa Goju Ryu has several stages in the development of kicking, starting from a neutral arm to arm-start to using the arm as...
Chris, Explain the neutral arm to arm start... I think I understand using the arm as a force multiplier... (it's also used as a counter balance as well,...

Hi Kam Right, this is applicable to Kihon and Kihon Ido. From Heiko Dachi, we keep the arms up as cover and to hold the neutral position. (This is also...
Hi Fredric Actually, in most states, if I say anything suggesting harm to you, that is considered assault. Any form of contact without express consent is...
Hi all, I am not too sure about the proper techniques but I do it this way... Opening move will be a standard heiko dachi and arms up in guard position... Left...
Hi Robert Thanks for your input! ... From: Robert Sim <sim_karate@...> ... If it works... ;-) ... I think that this is why all the kicks are combined...
Hi, I find launching kicks after arm feints or combos are the best. I hate kicking from a stationary position because my targets will almost always get our of...
--To All, The issue of verbal assault, and then carrying out the action is assualt and battery(the assault being the voicing of an action) and Battery the act...
Hi, Couldn't help butting in here... I have never been assaulted as an adult before unless you include people like Kam and gang... *sic But I think the normal...
Robert, In a hostile situation, events can change very quickly. There is usually no chance to drop in to a fighting pose, and I wouldn't recommend it either. ...
Hi all¡I am still around?!?!?!? I remember training with Terry O¡¯Neill once and he was handing out advice on street confrontation. He showed an expertly...
Hi Robert My mind is continually boggled by those who do not fight with raised front and rear heels. Regards Chris ... From: Robert Sim <sim_karate@...> ...

Hi Chris... I guess I am the type who likes to be on the balls of the foot almost all of the time.. (sparring included)... I think it is because of the way I...
Hi Robert I'm a crappy runner, so why get tired trying to run, and risk fighting while out of breath? Best to hit while the hitting is good! ;^D C. ... From:...
Hi Robert Doesn't matter if you're an anorexic supermodel (Don't change. It's an image industry. ;-p), good mechanics are good mechanics. C. PS: I think you...
