Good for you, are you enjoying it?

yeah although i dont think i should judge yet i didnt have many lessons so far

i also took Tai Kwon Do but i stopped after i got a yellow belt

oh yea and i also forgot i took like 3 or 4 lessons of Tai Chi

I took Goju-Ryu for three years, but I quit about four years ago because my sensei was a jackass. I made it to blue belt. The only thing that I remember is how to count to ten in Japanese.

oh crap you just reminded me, I took at least 4 yrs of tai kwon do when I was younger, but it was a while ago, and I only can still do about 3/4 of the stuff I learned

Interesting, I've heard of Kempo but I know very little about it. Is Kempo, Chinese or Japanese in origin?

Yep, it happens to a lot of people. you need a good sensei if you want to truly learn a style.

Then there is the fact that I have severe ADHD and Can barely remember what happened thirty minutes ago because I am so hyper.

Hey people, what do you think??

Good, but he needs a lower stance. especially to do a spinning crescent kick.

I was in some fake, "keep the delinquent out of trouble" class. It was a form of Karate that the teacher made himself. I graduated as a 2nd Dan. You could tell it was fake because I went from 9th Kyu to 1st kyu in 5 weeks, and then to 2nd Dan in 3 weeks.

I agree, it had to be fake. It should take a few years before you become black belt in any style, especially a 2nd degree black belt.
My teacher is a Grand Master,"Tenth degree black belt" It took him 15+ years to get that rank. And he has the skill to back up his rank.

But, even if it is fake, it's effective as long as the person you're up against doesn't know anything... like Tai Bo. A guy who knew Tai Bo could whoop mine or anyone elses in my classmates asses. :)

True... but do me a favor. Don't get Into any street fights. They may not know karate but they do fight with street smarts. :)

I'm from the city. I know how to street fight. That's why I was in that "keep the delinquent out of trouble" program.

Is it used to attack or for Self Defense in real situations.

Tang Su Do for 2 years. I made it to Blue
JuJitsu for about 6 months
Currently in Ninjutsu. Still a white, but I had a hernia that took me out of training for about 3 months.

Has anyone got to the breaking part of their training. If so, what is harder to break? A 3 inch thick board or a10 inch thick cement block? Think about it.

let me put it in different terms. Do you go looking for a fight or do you let the fight come to you?
