heh, ya. i think the american martial art is called "drive-thru-do"

and those isreali krav maga guys are intense

THAT'S NO LIE!!!!! I'm not saying its anyless powerful than lets say aikido, because aikido will flip the unsuspecting attacker WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY the hell into the air. But it did come from american fighting. It was made by Isrealis but the Israelis are what they are because they have such a freakin' sweet military system, even if everybody who lives there has to be in the army for 2 yrs, and because of the help from America. America has backed them all the way into freakin' existence, so I think its American inspired but the power of the sand...

Hey Kanji... sorry, this is a while back. but i wanna bring back the shotokan Karate subject. hehe... i done that for a while too.. i got to brown belt.. 2nd kyu to be exact.. i agree with you. shotokan is amazing.. it kept me soo healthy in body and mind..

I was getting ready to go to black belt but 2 weeks before i was set to, i had an accident in basketball, broke my wrist. and ever since i havn't been able to do shotokan.. my sensei forbids it. he tells me to just practice the kata's.. but i gave up on it to be honest.. it was a shock not being able to go into competitions and kick ass and win medals haha...

If my plans go well, and i go to japan for a year. maybe i'll go to see their level there.. cos in england where i practiced. their level wasn't great.. after 2 weeks of shotokan., i went to a competition. i got silver medal, and on the way beating to 2black belts..

What martial artist WANTS to see "bare knuckle" fights? Anyway I practice ninjutsu, the real art not like all the naruto crap you see :P Also bujinkan doesn't delve very far into it for all the claims of ninjutsu it only does a tiny portion of the taijutsu that was actually used. Well glad to see so many japanese fans on one board

Well I'm not in kendo exactly but Ninjutsu has kenjutsu in it, which is related and uses kendo in it to some degree

I just started in Aikido, the Ki Society branch. Its a facinating grappling art based off of jujitsu. I just ordered some training weapons, a bokken, jo, and tanto.

I have only two options in my area, Aikido or Karate. I wish I was near a Kendo or Iaito Dojo, that would rock!

I am a black belt in Taekwondo.

I wish there was a Ninjutsu school around here

Day after black belt test

High front kick (as high as I could go)

Head-level side kick

Black belt testing, jump spin 360 back kick

Almost all the boys here in Korea around my age have black belt in Taekwondo..I never took Taekwondo and people think it's strange...heh
That is one high kick....I don't get how people could jump so friggin high and kick around in other martial arts...
