I'm Really Really sorrry 😮
My comp died and i could not get the internet to work 😮 😮 😮

its okay fearnix

as for spidergrl...do you mean that you are at a point where you just cant remember another technique? if not you could always use some tkd and kick them just try to use hands to divert stuff. if i can ill try to find some nice books or instructions okay?

TrAnCeDuO - thanks that would be very helpful.

wat i meant was, well we learn self-defence at tkd but i mean some of its just dame right stupid!! i mean yea its good but some very unrealistic. i've never had a book to teach myslef. but im sure that i wouldn't mind learning it because i do know i use to get picked on and should would be good to know how to really do something if you know what i mean 😕

As a representative of martial arts my sensei is as good as anyone but as a rep of self-defense he's not so good. His philosophy is this -

For all the cost and hard work that you need to put into training to become good enough that what you've learnt my possibly be suitable to the situation your in it's actually quicker, cheaper and easier just to take the kicking and get over it... 😑

Scary thing is it's actually true however that does not mean studying martial arts is waste of time!

ohh course martial arts isn't a wastle of time. i think more people should join i mean. martial arts can help you become the person your going to become when your older. it will make you more confident in yourself and i think it will make your character a more stonger and out there person....

Indeed, I could not imagine not training, in fact I get edgy when I'm working nights and cant train - maybe I'm just sad...

no your not sad.........just means that your committed. i mean i can't train till next week after exams, and i found that i want to get up at 5.30 in the mornings and go for runs. i miss mi tkd and sericly its strange without it. hehehe im going to belguim in feb for a tkd tournament and also london, frnace, us, uk hehehe

Nice 👆

yea i hope that i learn alot over there, i mean compared to new zealand they are awsome are we are nothing.

Indeed full contact is the only way you can appreciate how the human body really moves especially when painful lock are applied ect...
