Kenpo is a very technical art. I believe it's still practiced in Japan but takes many years to even get halfway proficient at. Not saying it isn't effective but there are less technical arts out there. I believe that's why it kind of faded into the background. It's not just kick and punch art...
Exactly!. If you pull your punches when you train you'll pull your punches when you need it. When I trained in the '80s I was 15 or 16 and I sparred a 35 year old former Green Beret. I got good but be damned if he didn't smack me up and down that dojo before I got the hang of it.
I second that motion. I have never been so disciplined as I was in training in Okinawan Karate Do and judo. Best thing you could ever do for your kid. My Sensei said he would kick us out for fighting and that would have been devastated. Don't just train you body and physical moves but also study...
I hope you find a good dojo. Stay away from ATA fitness and big corporate run Martial Arts studios. They are too careful because of law suits. That being said good luck it's hard to find a good one these days. It seems most of them treat the students to gingerly. Don't get all bent out shape of...
Life isn't meaningless. I just have to laugh now days or make people laugh. I have turned a stone in my older years. Life is tuff for everyone but it's how you look at things that can make it worse or better. Forum antics are not important in the grand scheme of things. I am completely content...
I do deserve it in this Forum. I have started some messed up crap. It's my Jim Jones recipe. Some drink and some don't. Is doesn't affect me one bit. I get more of a kick out of it than anybody. It's all for a good laugh. That's all. In life it's all meaningless. I makes no difference and I...
I meant not just shot and re aim. Just doing a complete mag dump for his first time, with a first owner, with a new gun. How you coming along on that new hobby?
If someone wants free training then they need to " Phone a Friend ". It took instruction for me to develope proper muzzle awareness and I am still afraid to hunt beside someone. I have seen first hand the potential for no instruction on a cold range and a newbie just bought a handgun and opened...
That rings especially clear where I live. It's a good twenty minutes to the nearest police station and I rarely see a State Trooper in the area. So if someone hits the house they have a good 20 minutes to do what they want. It's one of the reasons why I installed barricades on both entry points...
All mine will do the job! I don't need no stinking AK! If your intruder is a buck fifty or smaller it's going to take a AK with a full mag to hit him! 🤣
Yeah I was pissed off to say the least. Those were in the days when it was very hard to keep my composer with something like that. I never saw another deer there after that. I am sure coincidence was at play because I saw tracks but never when I was there.
