I used to do a lot of martial arts, and I really enjoyed the competition of fighting. But eventually I quit because I was getting scared that I liked fighting people way too much. That was 6 years ago.
Over the time, it feels like I've been wanting to fight someone, anyone, way too much. But I've just held it away. At work recently, I have a superviser who for no reason; hates me. She claims I don't work when I've been busting my *** all day and when I first started got mad at me for not doing anything when the reason I wasn't doing anything was because she wasn't training me. I can't do the job if I don't know how, unless you want a lot of problems.
Lately it feels like I'm about to snap and wail on someone; wouldn't be surprised if it was my superviser. Any advice on how to deal with this before someone gets hurt?
Need help before I snap?
Take a deep breath and stay calm . I would go to the manager and ask them for an opinion whether they agree or disagree with the supervisor. If they agree all you can do is ask them for more training and hopefully u will improve. Dont b worrying just think positive.
Reply:Don't snap.... TELL HER!
Reply:Head to the gym and take it out there on a bag or something.
Reply:Liking competition is not bad and liking a good fight should not scare you.
If it does start to scare you, you should talk to a professional who can help you divert that energy.
For now, buy a punching bag with a picture on it, and do look into the yellow pages.
Reply:You could take up "Ultimate Fighting" or just head to the gym. As long as you know your limit , and it's in a safe environment, I think that if you like to fight then get back into it. It would be a good way to let off steam before or after work.

You are creating your own 'prison'. You don't want the responsibilty of making a wrong decision. Too bad, that's life Mr. Kung-fu-eee!
Make choices, then act....stop the self-pity. Get use to the idea that there is a b*tch around every corner.

Face the consequences of your decisions.

What is the name of this book?
I read this book over twenty years ago. I do not remember the name or the author, only bits and pieces of the story itself.
It starts after WWII in Japan. The central character is white and he is in Japan to learn the martial arts.
At one point he is trying to learn 2 different styles at the same time and not doing very well in either. One of his instructors tell him the story of the dog that chased two rabbits,
The dog lost both of them.
Another part of the book went something like this. The central character is by himself on the subway and he is accosted by a drunk Japanese guy. He takes a couple of hits and then gets tired of it. So the next time the Japanese guy takes a swing, our hero deflects the arm up exposing the armpit (which has a bundle of nerves located there named the floating rib). One short punch later the drunk is out on the flour and no one says anything to our hero. He is worried that if his instructors find out that they might ban him from training for a while.

Im thinking about moving to australia to live from england. Can anyone give me info on the process?
Details: Im a "semi qualified" musician (although I have being doing pro music work off the weight of my experience for a while including tuition, studio, production and live work), born english, classed as disabled now after being sectioned (epilepsy related illness) a while back but will be shedding that banner and going back to work if I decide to leave the country in the near future.
Main concerns are the fact that I have a pet to consider (a rat) and a small collection of martial arts weapons (nothing particulary lethal btw. a set of blunt cheapo samurai swords, a blunt cheapo refurbished chinese longsword, 2 steel whips, a staff, a wooden 3 section staff and a metal 3 section staff) that I use for training with. How would these factors affect the process. I am well aware of the impliocations of taking animals and what may be viewed as dangerous weapons overseas. My plan once there would be to get any kind of job to get a flat while I set up my music tuition business.
Im thinking about moving to australia to live from england. Can anyone give me info on the process?
Australia is very picky about applicaitons they will accept. They are looking for teachers, and some other qualitifed jobs.
They just do not let anyone come in the country just to live.
They have very tight controls even on if you want to visit, i know it took me months to get oked just to vacation there and that normal.

The various sports events, Pride, and whatnot...?
For those who watch and/or participate in these competitions?
1) why? What do you get out of it?
2) do you think it is real martial arts or are people like me just grumpy and sticks in the mud?
3) would you prefer to be involved one of these sports mas or a traditional style and please state why for either answer?
For traditionalists who do both I have a question:
1) do you find the sport ma interferes with your traditional training?
Frankly, I am becoming fatigued with the spate of "will [name entered here] win in [name of sports ma here]" questions and I am also tired with "will [name of sports ma practitioner here] beat [name of sports ma practitioner here]"
I have never had any desire to participate in or watch these things and I do not understand the draw. Likewise I do not enjoy watching boxing or WWE.
The various sports events, Pride, and whatnot...?
I've been giving this some thought.
1. I have studied 'mixed martial arts' before they started calling it MMA. I've studied striking styles, grappling styles, and styles like Hapkido, which combine grappling and striking. Although I have never entered an MMA tournament, I have been in both striking and grappling competitions where I could have used skills from the other styles but the rules would not allow it. Even now, Hapkido isn't a viable style in the UFC because the rules forbid most of the techniques used in Hapkido. There's a good reason for this. If you apply a wrist lock and then strike the forearm to dislodge the wrist, you can do serious damage that isn't practical in a sporting event.
2. I think that sporting events like UFC, Pride, K-1, etc. are attracting a new breed of fighters. In the early days, you saw black belts who had years of training in their respective styles. These martial artists had not trained for this type of competition before and were forced to adapt to a set of rules. Today, fighters are well aware of the rules and train accordingly. Listen to the introductions of these fighters. Some are still introduced as 'Muay Thai Fighters' or 'Brazilian Jujitsu Fighters', while others get introduced as 'Mixed Martial Artists' or 'Free Style Fighters'. The term 'Free Style' could refer to a mixed martial artist, or it could be someone who hasn't studied at all and is just a street fighter. Either way, they are all bound by the same rules once they enter the ring.
3. These sports are gaining popularity. Because they are a sport and not scripted entertainment like pro-wrestling, people can bet on them. The reason boxing has such a bad reputation for being 'fixed' is because it is the easiest sport to control the outcome. Team sports are much harder to fix because you have to rely on more than just one person (Anyone remember the 'Chicago Black Sox'?). In boxing, you just have to get one guy to agree to take a dive. In MMA competitions this is even easier to do because you don't have to fake being knocked out. All a fighter has to do is take the fight to the ground and 'accidentally' get caught in a submission. Think it can't happen? Neither did boxing fans. Money is more dangerous than any martial art.
These events are competitions for those who wish to either test their skills or seek glory among their peers. There isn't necessarily anything wrong with either of those things, nor is it wrong to not pursue either of those things. Many fighters in Thailand compete in order to win a championship so that they can retire and open their own gym and make money to support their families. If I wanted to become an MMA coach, I have no resume to attract young fighters. I would either have to compete myself or find someone willing to take a chance on me.
Look at what UFC did for Gracie Jujitsu. I grew up about a mile from their gym and never knew it existed. After the UFC, there is a waiting list to get signed up and people actually move to California to train there.
You say you are tired of the 'Who will beat who' questions, but they are here to stay. Click on any of the sports topics and you will see the same questions. Whether its 'Will Man U beat Arsenal' or 'Will the Yankees beat the Red Sox', every sport has these types of questions.
Reply:I completely agree with you. =)
The End.
Reply:Entertainment and with MMA it is a sport still in its infancy so watching the evolution of the fight game is what fascinates me. Perhaps since you dislike boxing too, you would prefer team sports. I am sure most MMA fans would be appalled by your WWE comparison.
Reply:i'm a practitioner and rabid fan of MMA, and can see that you don't get it. i've been into it since UFC 2 when i first saw gracie destroy the compettion with techniques i had never concieved of. at the time i was in high school and was a skilled in baseball, football, wrestling, and track, so i apreciated the athleticism of the contestants. i always rooted for the wrestlers because i could relate to them. now my view has evovled with the sport and i'm aware that you must cross train and be able to take advantage of every oppurtunity. you must also be able to defend against your opponent's style. i was floored by the idea of letting everybody bring whatever style the practiced to the table to see who was best. watching it evolve and become mainstream has been refreshing. i remember buying tickets to go watch it in niagra falls in '95 or '96 and at the last minute they had to pull the plug because the sport was still a bit barbaric, and NY athletic commission posed many sanctions on the event. it's come a long way since then, and it's going to grow much bigger.
it's clear a lot of the traditionists of most common martial arts styles in the world are annoyed because these competitions have exposed how narrow and impractial their styles are when put into action against the more rounded MMA styles that have come rule the fight scene. these katas and kung fu forms may be pretty to watch, and teach discipline and control, and they may take down the completely inept school bully, but that's about it.
bottom line- MMA is here to stay. the athletes will get bigger, and stronger, and make much more money. the events will be more and more main stream, and there will always be ignorant people who can't relate in any way whatsoever. who will know they could never under any circumstances compete. and, of course, have the nerve to mention MMA in the same breath with WWE.
good luck kid.
Reply:1) I like to watch how fighting is done, how certain techniques are done, how people use same techniques in different way, see how they deal with other techniques, and it's fun to watch two different styles fight. It is always interesting. Also I learn many different techniques, stratergy, and counters from watching. I mean those guys are some of the best fighter we know of in the world, so why not learn from watching them?
2) I think it's martial arts. I don't think there's a true way to definite martial artists. It's same with religions, some people are uptight about it while some others are very laid back and relaxed. Some martial artists choose to try live by the code rigidly, some choose to test themselve out, and some choose to make a career out of it. If you think there's a certain requirement for people to meet to be consider as a martial artists, please tell us where you get the requirement from.
3) I perfer to be involve with sport mas because I feel like I recieve better training. What kind of instructor wouldn't try to train their students as best as they could then toss them in ring? In traditional style, it's not always easy to tell if the instructor geniunely are trying to train their students as best as they could. So this kinda push me away from traditional. Also I LOVE to spar/grapple, it's fun and it also build more respect among the students.
Reply:First off MMA is the real deal. its not scripted like pro wrestling(WWE). it is better than / more safe than boxing. boxing has a long history of being fixed+ if you get your head beat in for 12 rounds and they give you 8 sec. to answer the bell you have more of a chance of serious brain damage. MMA the fight will be stopped as soon as 1 fighter taps out (submits) is unconscious(ko'd or passed out from a choke) or cannot intellegently defend himself(completely getting his butt kicked). all fights in UFC at least are sheduled for no more than 5 rounds. and is sanctiond by an athletic commision.
What really makes the sport great is that you must be trained in various forms of martial arts.not only must you be well versed in boxing/kickboxing but you must also be able to grapple.. ie wrestling jui-jitsu judo etc. if you ever have the chance watch a fight night on Spike (dont know if i can advertise that) and see for yourself the actual work and skill it takes for these athletes to compete in the sport. It might give you a different outlook on MMA.
Reply:MMA is using many different styles of martial arts which if you look at one of the most brilliant martial artists in the world, Bruce Lee, he was always improving his art by using different techniques from other forms of martial arts. Those that believe that only one kind of martial art is the best is narrow minded and doesn't see real athleticism and art in MMA. Yes occasionally you will get your fight that just looks like a bar fight but the intricacies of MMA are seen by those that really understand the concept of using an open mind to achieve ones goals (which is what most martial arts are all about).
Reply:I totally agree with you and find the mma fighters misusing their martial arts completely. I find it irritating as the media vexes the people to think martial arts is only learned how to beat someone up.

Which is less damaging to your joints, power lifting or endurance lifting?
My martial arts instructor has been haranguing us about the importance of conditioning etc. so I'm currently working my way up on an endurance lifting programme, doing curls %26amp; presses with a comparatively low weight (20kg + bar) on 4-6 sets of 15-25 reps... I decided to do endurance lifting because power lifting is only recommended on an alternate day basis and I want to lift every day (although if we've had a hard session at training I might be tempted to skip a workout and just have a shower and go to bed!)
Anyway, I was curious as to what strain this was putting on my elbow joints, and whether higher reps on a low weight were more or less likely to cause joint strain than lower reps on a high weight (i.e. power lifting.)
Does anyone have any studies they can point me to? Or medical knowledge, personal experience etc.?

How do I quickly recover from a calf and achilles injury?
I seem to "pull" my calf muscles more than usual. I am 39 yrs old and do Martial Arts and distance run. I "pulled" my calf at a tournament. Let that heal for 2 weeks and started running again. After 11 miles though, I think because I changed my gate so as not to use the calf much (heal down on landing), my achilles tendon started to give out. I need to heal quickly and get back to training. Any ideas?
How do I quickly recover from a calf and achilles injury?
unfortunatly there is no quick heel with achillies problems. Im just a bit concerned that you may rupture it which will then require surgery. my best advice for now is to do some GENTLE stretching and put an ice pack on it for 20 mins every 3 to 4 hours
Reply:there's no quick heal all you can do is rest it and have some work on it by your local physio

Ufc How can i join the ufc? I have no professional fighting background.?
First Things First Let Me Answer Your Question,
You Need Atleast 2 or 3 taped fights to send in for viewing.
Second.
You can join the ufc, if the ufc lets you, they don't hold casting calls your best bet would be to do what someone else on here mentioned, which is do the local curcuit. I know what this path is like because I am currently on it. I am only 22 and my record for am. is 0-2(both of these fights were held in a M.F.S. camp) and they're called smokers, you need some sort of exp. not to show how good you are but so others can see. They're never going to have a lack of fighters to the point where they're picking up guys off the street so go get taped, send it in and if it's impressive then who knows but unless your fighting in front of the man himself I doubt you'll be able to "Red Shirt" your way into "The Event".
no sarcasm, only respect
The Basics Of What You Need:
Money-wise, expect to end up paying nothing short of 20 g's total in your first year for all the **** your gonna end up needing on top of the stuff you already have(only if you really are a machine, like ortiz or something), but the cost out of pocket at first is always the worst, like any true investment.
When You Train:
Find 2 devoted members to help, they can stretch you and help you in ways a two man team can't. If you only have one partner your cheating yourself cardio wise. If you roll with an extra guy one can rest while the other helps you, stuff like that may seem small but when you gas, you can only blame yourself.
Work the ground like its where you belong but have hands/your height allows for head kicks as well.
Train for the short grappler as he will be your biggest challenge.
You have tons of exp. so make sure you convey that when you train and you'll bring out the best in those around you.
I'm not going to go into a full sermon though I was on the verge, just know that you can get in, IF YOU want to get in, theres no way they would refuse true talent.
Reply:I would advise you to find a school that trains people for mixed martial arts.
Reply:Doubtful you'd go right to the UFC. You'd have to start at small local venues.
Reply:You will have to start local then move up it's like boxing you have to win fights get noticed and then be selected by a fighter. there's camps in Idaho,Oregon,Iowa,Indiana that are ran by fighter's from the UFC they charge good money though.
Reply:I want to do this myself. What i noticed is that lots of people from the "ultimate fighter" show get into the UFC. Even the people that don't win the show, but preform well. I honestly think that may be your best bet. Most of those guys on that show have a mixed martial arts record.
One guy ....forgot his last name....Danny or something. He only had a MMA record of 2-0 and was on that show though. He lost his first fight too, but i saw him in the UFC once.
I know the monthly events on PPV have undercards that go after the main fight and are not always shown. I also think they have fights not shown on PPV. So it might be a little easier than you think to get into UFC, but not be known at all.
But yeah, i'd definatly go to a MMA school.... get into competitions through them. See how well you really are....if you end up being pretty good, then possibly consider going to one of the real camps mentioned above.
Gotta also remember UFC is a sport too. Might be a good martial artist, but that doesn't alway transfer to a good athelete
Reply:since you mentioned that you've had ANY Martial Arts or fighting arts (like say Greco Roman Wrestling) experience, that you prob'ly have'nt got enough fighting or compettiton experience under your belt, and the company (or any of the teams within the MMA fighting companies) prob'ly won't pick you up due to that fact.
plus since you haven't had any FORMAL TRAINING in any Martial Arts disciplines (especially Muay Thai, Kickboxing, or JuJitsu, being that these are the most prevalent disciplines that the fighters train in) then they won't likely pick you up either.
so that would be another red flag for them not to accept you again for legal reasons since most of the competitors in UFC, PRIDE, IFL, etc have had some form of fighting experience before they signed contracts with the companies.
then you'd have to do some local MMA competitons, and get into one of the "feeder leagues" that help these guys get started into the professional stuff. Or possibly get into a training team that is based close to wherever you live if they'll allow you to
and then you'd have to look for some sponsors to help you get the money to enter these upper level competitons, but to give you a better leg to stand on (and possibly better contract deals) with these corporate kiss butts, again; you'll need to have a decent fighting experience and good stats of your fights to make an impression on the corporate suits that're gonna front the cash to allow you on their teams or back you financially so you can train full time, because it's a lot more than just getting in the ring and fighting.
you'll have to do commercials (for the sponsors and their products they want to sell), personal appearances, interviews, etc.
I'm not tryin' to discourage you, but this is the reality of it, it's like a full time job, and you gotta be willin to do the daily traing on top of all that other stuff. Like workin out in the gym for 5 or 6 days a week for one to maybe two hours a day, sticking to a strict diet so that you can maintain your proper weight to be able to fight in the weight class, and training regiment, running several miles a day, plus doing the fighting drills (punching bags, pads, ground fighting training stand up fighting drills) with the team on their training days.
This is the true reality of what it is to be a professional fighter buddy, no BS stright forward reality.
check out the official website for Matt Hughes (or any other fighter that has a website) and see his training and nutrition regimens he has to maintain in order to keep being a pro UFC fighter.
but Good luck, it's all up to you if your willin to do it.
Reply:Start in your local divisions and get the MMA "ring" experience. Small venues are scoped out by scouts. Just as in any other sport keep doing it where you can. If your good enough "they'll" let you know.
Here are a couple sights I frequent ...

Ufc How can i join the ufc? I have no professional fighting background.?
First Things First Let Me Answer Your Question,
You Need Atleast 2 or 3 taped fights to send in for viewing.
Second.
You can join the ufc, if the ufc lets you, they don't hold casting calls your best bet would be to do what someone else on here mentioned, which is do the local curcuit. I know what this path is like because I am currently on it. I am only 22 and my record for am. is 0-2(both of these fights were held in a M.F.S. camp) and they're called smokers, you need some sort of exp. not to show how good you are but so others can see. They're never going to have a lack of fighters to the point where they're picking up guys off the street so go get taped, send it in and if it's impressive then who knows but unless your fighting in front of the man himself I doubt you'll be able to "Red Shirt" your way into "The Event".
no sarcasm, only respect
The Basics Of What You Need:
Money-wise, expect to end up paying nothing short of 20 g's total in your first year for all the **** your gonna end up needing on top of the stuff you already have(only if you really are a machine, like ortiz or something), but the cost out of pocket at first is always the worst, like any true investment.
When You Train:
Find 2 devoted members to help, they can stretch you and help you in ways a two man team can't. If you only have one partner your cheating yourself cardio wise. If you roll with an extra guy one can rest while the other helps you, stuff like that may seem small but when you gas, you can only blame yourself.
Work the ground like its where you belong but have hands/your height allows for head kicks as well.
Train for the short grappler as he will be your biggest challenge.
You have tons of exp. so make sure you convey that when you train and you'll bring out the best in those around you.
I'm not going to go into a full sermon though I was on the verge, just know that you can get in, IF YOU want to get in, theres no way they would refuse true talent.
Reply:I would advise you to find a school that trains people for mixed martial arts.
Reply:Doubtful you'd go right to the UFC. You'd have to start at small local venues.
Reply:You will have to start local then move up it's like boxing you have to win fights get noticed and then be selected by a fighter. there's camps in Idaho,Oregon,Iowa,Indiana that are ran by fighter's from the UFC they charge good money though.

What forms are in Raul Ortiz's Praying Mantis Videos on Century website?
I studied 7 star praying mantis for years, but we only had four forms and the twelve road tan tui in our system. I was looking online and saw Raul Ortiz has some videos on the Century Martial Arts website.
http://www.centuryfitness.com/webapp/wcs...
I've heard both good and bad about Raul Ortiz, and like I said, I've already had some mantis training, I'm just interested in picking up a few more forms. But if one of his videos has only the forms I know, I'd like to skip that one. Has anyone gotten his videos, and does anyone know which forms are on which videos?
What forms are in Raul Ortiz's Praying Mantis Videos on Century website?
V1: Basics and conditioning
V2: 3-Step Mantis, Crushing Step part 1
V3: Dragon Claw, Crushing Step part 2
V4: Ching Fu Kuen, Mai Jun Lo Hon Sword
V5: First Essential Form, Internal Set
V6: Second Essential Form, Third Essential Form.
V7: Eight Step Punching, Mantis Spear
V8: Self Defense
V9: Sparring
Out of the above list, I have only heard of the Crushing Step and the three essential forms in the 7 Star NPM lineage. I have never seen these videos so I can't comment on them.
Tantui isn't part of 7 Star as you know, I wonder what the other four forms in your school are because 7 Star has many form sets, depending on your lineage it could vary from 30 to over 100, but 4 seems a little too few. Don't get me wrong, Bengbu is really all you need if you can understand and use all the postures, transitions, techniques, and theories inherent in this mother form.
Reply:I teach Prayig Mantis in Upstate New York. Raul Ortiz' forms are different than other 7star mantis forms. Look up Jon Funk on the internet, he has very traditional 7 star forms. As for Raul
l Ortiz he is traditional, excellent, and is a champion. I have viewed his tapes. Report It
Reply:My source: I have been learnig Praying Mantis since 1996. I teach (Plum Blossom Mantis) Mei Hua Tai JI Tang Lang Quan in upstate New York. good luck Report It

Been working out regularly for over a year and seeing negative results! Help?
I am 5'9" male with a heavy build (broad and thick). April 2006 I was 180lb with some chub and a little bit of muscle mass. I have been working mostly cardio (30min - 1h bike/tred/oliptical/running/ect 3-5 times a week) and some resistence training (Minimal weight several reps and set). I also do Tai Chi 2 times a week, Bodukon (the combination of yoga, martial arts and meditation into one work out routine) and 50 push ups almost every night. I also swim now and then, play sport with friends, and play with my very energetic boxer everyday. This along with proper diet (though I admit that i go a little bit over board at time (the no rules burger at Outback is very tempting every once in a blue moon)) should have put me into better shape i would thing.
My problem is: After the first month i began seeing deeper and darker stretch marks going up my stomach, my stomach has only gotten large, and I seem to have less stamina.
Anyone know what is going on with my body?
Been working out regularly for over a year and seeing negative results! Help?
Unfortunately it breaks down to your diet/food intake You also need to do less cardio, with more muscle you will burn more calories through out the course of the day with muscle. 80% is food/diet 10% sleep/rest 10% working out. Cardio will also use muscles *** energy if you do it more than a 30 minutes session at a time. Try a three day schedule like this.
Beginner schedule
Monday- chest, bi
Wed - Back, triceps
Fri- Legs, shoulders
Advanced
Mon- Chest
Tues- Back
Wed- Arms
Thurs-Leg
Fri - Shoulders
Do 8-12 reps with 3 sets each. Hope this helps.
Reply:Hi Don B! Good for you for looking in to what's going on with your fitness level!
Without knowing exactly what your eating habits and exercise routines are like, I can't give you a definitive answer. But, what sounds like is going on is that you're suffering from overtraining. Slight imperfections in eating habits accompanied with imperfections in our exercise routines can lead to fatigue, gaining weight, decrease in strength, etc.
Here are some quick tips:
Do your cardio first thing upon waking on an empty stomach. Minimize duration of high intensity training. If you like high intense cardio, do interval training.
Eat small meals about every 3 hours. Portion sizes should be such that you are ready to eat again about every 3 hours. This will keep certain hormones balanced throughout the day to aid in fat loss and fat prevention.
Meals should be balanced. Meaning: if your meal/snack calorie breakdown is about 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat, then the rest of your meals should consist of the same breakdown. An EXCEPTION is any meal/snack within a few hours of bedtime. This meal/snack should be strictly protein, no carbs and no fats.
Minimize your sugar and saturated fat intake.
Include Resistance Training at least 3 times a week. Your session should be no more than an hour.
To ensure the most efficient and safe results, utilize a Personal Trainer well educated in Exercise Physiology and Nutrition. Feel free to contact me with any questions: info@acclaimedfitness.com.
Hope this helps!

Reply:If I were you, I'd go talk to a dietician or your doctor. They can get you on a good plan. If you can afford it, try to meet with a personal trainer once every other week at least. Or get on weight watchers. That's awesome that you are trying to get in shape, but I think you need some help from a prefessional to get you on the right track, especially with diet.
Reply:ok, you have to stop eatting at outback. if your really serious try to cut out red meat from your diet.Fast food is filled with fat and (sodium) which well make your body retain more water.Try eating six small meals a-day instead of 3 big-ones.Eat more fish and chicken. Cut out all "white" foods from your diet (ex.) bread,flour,sugar,rice and some pasta's.No soda or fruit juices wich are hi in sugar.Also your doing to much cardio.Try working out with more weights.1day lift wieghts next day do cardio.Try to incorporate total body workouts with high intensity for no more than 45min.Legs and abs should be done on another day.Again high intensity and no more than 45min.1day upperbody,nxt day cardio,nxt day legs and so on.take one day off.also on your one day off eat whatever you want and as much as you want.Take one day as your "free"day.but its back to work the nxt 6. Also get plenty of sleep. hope this helps.I also recommend to take a pic of yourself before you start your program.and take another one after 2 wks to see your progress. keep doing this for the duration of your diet and exercise program.And drink alot of water,keep a journal.yea it sounds like alot of work,and it is but you'll be happy with the results.try this for 90days. good luck

A way to fix America...?
First off, I would have a national ban on guns and from an early age I would have it mandatory that all teenagers be taught how to fight effectively without the use of cowardly guns. Martial Arts, Archery, Swordsmanship, DDR.
Unarmed Skill, Accuracy, Armed Skill, Endurance.
This would also solve our obese problem because as time goes on, it will be customary for everyone to become used to this pattern.
The military would be the only branch that would have access/training in long range projectiles.
What do you think?

2) all kids in school should do a set amount o physical education (to fight obesity)
3) ban supersize portions
4) teach better arithmetics, spelling and grammer - really go back to basics
5) i quite like the idea of national service for boys. really puts their life in prespective

Fix that belief, and everything will go from there. What you need is social cohesion, not more conglomerates working you like slaves while your taxes dribble away into Mexico.
Reply:and martial arts, along with self defense fixes what?, the culture and lack of understanding is the start of the problem, unplug the TV, stop the fast food, and make people interact and all would be much better

I'm 19 years old & I've always wanted to do gymnastics...?
I've been actively involved in martial arts for the past 6 years, %26amp; I want to start gymnastics now too. It's something I've always wanted to do, but I've never had the opportunity nor the funding. I've been told that it's too late to start %26amp; that I'm too old, but I've always thought that I can do anything I put my mind to. So my question is, how long can I wait to start training in gymnastics, %26amp; is it true that since I'm older I won't have the opportunity to be as good at it?
I'm 19 years old %26amp; I've always wanted to do gymnastics...?
HA!! Who ever told you that you were too old to start really has much to learn!!
Not everyone Martial Artists starts as a youth of 4 or 5!!
Many join as adults every day. People have their own reasons for joining and most are not the same reason and some are.
SO why not GYMNASTICS? You will have the flexibility and balance already which will be a great help. I find Gymnists make great Martial Artists so why not the reverse too of you are a good Martial Artist?
Sure maybe to old to be in the Olympics but not to do Gymnastics, not at all. Find someone else with a positive attitude and learn from a good teacher with a good attitude.
They will see your potential with balance and flexibility and i think you will do well if you try.
Good luck!
Reply:1. Your never to old to do anything.
2. Your martial arts training should have made you fairly flexible.
3. Your still Young so why not.
4. I'm 19 used to do gymnastics and martial arts when i was was younger but stopped due to funds, so do what you want to do before its to late, i wanna take skateboarding and rollerblading up and i'm supposidly to old to but i don't care.

What would be a better workout; muay thai, tae kwon do or krav maga?
My wife wants to take a martial arts class to help attain a healthy body. What would be her best direction to take so she could benefit from the training, both physically and mentally. Cardio classes are out of the question, i think she wants to be able to kick my @ss.
What would be a better workout; muay thai, tae kwon do or krav maga?
A beginner's one hour Muay Thai class will be very similar to a 1 hour TKD class. Lot's of kicks, push ups, abs, punches and stretching.
A TKD class will probably alternate and take about 15 minutes for self defense or for forms practice per class.
In my opinion, Krav Maga would not have the same "workout" value as TKD or Muay Thai. In that class, you would probably spend more time on technical mechanics of self defense than you would "sweating".
You should be able to try them all out a few times for free, or for a small fee before you actually commit to one school.

Reply:It isn't so much the style as the dojo. Muay thai in general might be better for a workout, but you could find a TKD dojo that trains much harder than any muay thai in the area. Or vice verse. Ask your friends, check a few places out, see what you like.
Good luck!
Reply:Muy Thai emphasis on building your core (abdominal muscles) would be great for her, since all women think their stomachs could be flatter. She'll also get defined legs and toned arms. But warn her that it is brutal excercise (w/ the right instructor). And she'll learn how to kick @***.
Reply:definitely not muay thai, as it's much too hard on the body. maybe kickboxing or tkd. one of the guys i train with in bjj also does muay thai and he shows me the bruises on his shins from kicking a banana tree they have set up in their academy 100 times a lesson.
Reply:i've done all three and how i rank it based on my expriences
1)muay thai was the most demanding physically
2)krav maga is second. well it depends the workout part of krav maga was very tiring, however the last 1/2-1/4 of class when we are working on more self defense; weapon disarming, getting out of choke holds, and stuff like that it wasnt very tiring at all.
3)then tkd...dont take it as tkd not being physical just not as much as the above since theres a lot of katas, but that could have just been the dojo i went to, and the fact i did it as a kid.

Reply:MUAY THAI will give you the best workout, no doubt, if she is worried about getting punched, most Muay Thai gyms have training without sparing and just bag work and technique, I doubt you will find a much harder training than Muay Thai but let her try a few different classes in each, Muay Thai might end up being too hard for her

Krav maga is a self defence style- like most 'army styles' it trains for situations taking seconds to resolve themselves so there is almost no emphasis on general fitness/cardio/endurance or sparring for students.
Taekwondo has a good friendly training atmosphere, good for flexibility, okay sparring and general workout but being semicontact and very relaxed the sport itself won't make you a great deal fitter than you were anyway. And is not that great for self defence.
Muay thai makes people fit. End of story. And it works on the street. And a good club is just as friendly and happy to train women as the other two. and you don;t have to spar until you are ready, or ever if you don't want.:)

What would be a better workout; muay thai, tae kwon do or krav maga?
A beginner's one hour Muay Thai class will be very similar to a 1 hour TKD class. Lot's of kicks, push ups, abs, punches and stretching.
A TKD class will probably alternate and take about 15 minutes for self defense or for forms practice per class.
In my opinion, Krav Maga would not have the same "workout" value as TKD or Muay Thai. In that class, you would probably spend more time on technical mechanics of self defense than you would "sweating".
You should be able to try them all out a few times for free, or for a small fee before you actually commit to one school.
Good luck.

Why is my knee popping?
im 19 years old. ive been an athlete since i was 14.
ive been practicing martial arts since i was 14 and am currently now practicing mma. when i was fourteen my knee popped really bad while practicing a kata. after that i had the same occurrences rarely. it then went away for a couple years. and just recently came back. it happened today before training and drove me crazy because it hurts and leaves my knee sore..oooouuucccchhh. so yea i was wondering if anybody has an idea of what it is. it seems like it happens when my knee's at a certain angle, but i dont know. all i know its driving me crazy and holding me back a lil. so yea ....its gotta go.
any ideas?
Why is my knee popping?
They may seem like a strange answer but when I was about your age I had the same knee popping.
What it turned out to be in my case was my lower back had what was called a subluxated vertebrae and I found out a good chiropractor could realign it .
When a Vertebrae is subluxated it puts pressure on the nerves that go through your legs. Your lower back can be shifted and put more pressure on one leg than the other.
Reply:dislocation is like that. It will occur more easily %26amp; more frequent after the first occurence.

What's the best way to recover from a sprained wrist?
I've experimented with a lot of martial arts, my most recent being Capoeira and, because the gymnastic movements put a lot of strain on my wrists, I've been out of commission for several months now.
I'd like to go back to Capoeira again some day, but not until my wrist has healed and strengthened.
The problem is that I'm studying to be a graphic designer, so I do a lot of typing and computer-based work, which doesn't help with a wrist injury.
Can anyone, preferably people with backgrounds in fitness, personal training or sports injuries, put forward any suggestions for first repairing and then strengthening my wrist muscles?
What's the best way to recover from a sprained wrist?
go to a therapist and get it looked at, thats the only way you can properly heal it.
as for strengthening.. i dont know, i broke my wrist and its fine now but its still delicate, wrists are delicate. drink lots of milk and take calcium!
Reply:Keep it elevated.
Put ice on it.
Keep pressure on it.
Rest.
Reply:im not a doctor but i once sprained my wrist.i just apply cold compress from the affected part and the pain is releived.take some mefenamic acid too and put a brace or something that can make your wrist stay steady.
Reply:Talk with an occupational therapist at a physical therapy center. I sprained my wrist a few weeks ago and they have been helping me so much. I could no longer bend my wrist without bringing tears to my eyes, I thought it was broken, but apparently it was severely sprained. They can help you with strengthening your wrist.
Reply:I had a wrist haematoma,not a sprain,a few months ago from a punching bag. A bag of frozen vegetables works a lot better than an ice bag,it doesn't melt like the ice will. Just make sure not to eat the food after it is out of the freezer for a long time. And leaving cold on it too long is bad,maybe 15 min.
Reply:Rest the wrist
Cool it just so
No more the Capoeira
Till Therapist say
"OK to go "
Save hands for typing
Judo come later
Work on designing
And limit the 'puter
Hope you are better real soon !

Striking with weights/Weighted suit information?
I'm planning on starting a regiment that involves training in water, and some technique training with weights
I have ankle weights, and a vest. They're ok, but I know the ankle/wrist weights aren't good on the joints when you strike (Though dumbells work ok in the right hands), and the added weight on my torso area is better for things such as pushups than striking for example.
I was just wondering: Does anyone know of any weights specifically meant for martial arts techniques, or a suit of some sort? If you do: Does it work the entire limb equally?
Striking with weights/Weighted suit information?
1) The angle/wrist weight are okay depending on how they are used. They aren't good for those respective joints because they limit movement in the general area. I am not sure if you are using the weights in the water ot outside the water. Weight training under water is very effective, and has both benefits and disadvantages. Using ankle/wristweights under water would eliminate some of the risk they cause for injury.
Like you said, dumbells are ok in the right hands. If you struggle with the weights, just use db's. To clarify, certain movements put you at risk when wearing weights. For example, shooting a basketball could injure your wrist, and repeating a jumping movement may injure your ankles. That's why I would reccomend using them in water or in a more controlled environment.
2) Weight vests are good for a few things, including pushups. You were seriously mistaken if someone told you it was could for striking, any additional weight in an areas other than the leg/arm is usely for striking. a weight vest prohibits certain extended movements in striking (with both the leg and arm in 2 ways. A) The Vest itself may touch the arms and slow them down, B) The vest prhibis movement of the torso which is necessary for follow through and form on strikes. Mobility is a factor.
If you want to continue wearing the vest, use it for pushups and jumping; it will provide the additional weight for strength/endurance training, and wont risk injury to your ankles/wrists.
3) As far as I know there is no specific training weights used for Martial Arts that you are looking for. There are many weights that Martial Artists use that are also used in a variety of other sports such as boxing, football, wrestling, basketball, baseball, etc.

Brock Lesnar in MMA (Pride, UFC, K-1)?
He quit Pro Wrestling because its fake and he didn't make it trying out for the NFL. So now he wants to be a Mixed Martial Arts fighter. He said he wants to fight Bob Sapp (Sapp highlight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUlaybbhf... ) for his debut match in K-1! Right now hes training at the Miletich Camp (need I say more? He's trained such champions like Matt Hughes the UFC MW champ.) You think he can hang in MMA? He's definately talented as far as his athletic ability and he was a NCAA champion wrestler.
Brock Lesnar in MMA (Pride, UFC, K-1)?
If Brock can develop any kind of striking ability at all he will be phenomenal in MMA. Wrestlers are proven over and over again in MMA. As far as him fighting Bobb Sapp is concerned it depends on which org he goes to. in K-1 I think Sapp would win due to the lack of ground and pound but in UFC or Pride Brock would be all over him. If what you say is true then I am very pumped to see if Brock will excel in MMA, he definitely has the foundation for it.
Reply:I think he can do well in either sport, MMA or Pride Fighting, they are both basically the same, one fights in venues overseas and one fights here Stateside in the US...
Reply:He couldn't make it to NFL. He will not make it to the mixed martial arts. He's "old" now and he'll find it hard to fight.
Reply:i think he can.it would be interesting to watch
Reply:With his professional wrestling career behind him, I would like to see him in UFC for its a better organization but then again UFC have close ties with WWE/ECW because look what Ken Shamrock was and now
Reply:Thank you for sharing the video it was funny....
MMA has evolved from the past. First it was little Royce Gracie beating tapping out the monsters and strikers. Then it was focusing on ground game or stand up and having the correct opponent to match your style. It changed into having weight divisons. Now it is just may the best man in the same weight class win. You have to have stand up and ground game and having a several of sessions with the Miletich camp will not do much good. There are people who have been training harder and longer. If he fights Bob Sapp it will be interesting to see. Sapp has more expierence in MMA he can tap out Brock with a arm bar (as we saw in highlight), or just do ground and pound. For someone who is not experienced in MMA a good ground and pound will show them never to come back again. Nog defends the ground and pound well. UFC cage Brock will lose. Pride ropes Brock will think he is in fake wrestling jump off the ropes or do his fancy hopes across ring (sorry I don't watch wrestling). It will be good to see the event in K-1 then we can see both of them stand up with non-stop action. It will be funny.
Reply:He's suffering from Goldberg syndrome. He hates the profession but wants the money. Bob Sapp is a 1 big punch wonder who rely's on brute force with little fighting skill to win fights. Sapp would be perfect for Toughman Contest!
Reply:HE IS CURRENTLY TRAINING UNDER THE MILETICH FIGHTING SYSTEMS so we should be seeing him fight in an MMA event soon under the miletich camp...
PAT Miletich has trained UFC champions matt hughes, rich franklin and tim sylvia....
From Pat's perspective he is fast for his size (260plus pounds) and that he has been learning quickly with his experience in collegiate wrestling...
His litmus test should be his first ever MMA match as no wrestling match ever comes close to an actual MMA event...

Martial arts and other self-defence techniques should be made compulsory for girls in schools and colleges by making it a compulsory part of their academic syllabus. But the problem is that, many experts in police and military are of the opinion that the aforesaid training is of little help when it comes to girls dealing with molesters in reality. Specially on the streets during night it becomes a little difficult for girls when such miscreants move in gangs causing nuisance as they pass on bikes or jeeps. Should a revision of martial atrs techniques take place to accomodate real life situations for women.

In situations of being numerically and logistically overwhelmed or ovrpowered any amount of skill of unarmed combat would be found inadequate and may be reckless adventurism, and may endanger life. So avoidance of situations in vulnerable places and unpropitious times is the best strategy. Licensed weapon for self-defence, with proper training and above all a right psychological orientation are also useful. Hotline connection to control room with distress signal through cell phone, by just a press of button may be devised and arranged, so that in cities mobile squads can come to rescue, since the tower of transmission can be identified in minutes, if police are alert.
Venturing out for fun sake at late hours, alone is to be avoided.
