Kickfighter, without question.
Sorry, I know this must have been asked before, but I haven't been able to check this forum in ages.
Did anyone see the show (Sky 1, amateur British martial arts competition, filmed on Crouching...

There's a serious petition made by people who offer a clear alternative to war, asking the UN to stand up to America.
I'm sure this has been said before, but does it really matter? Surely it makes more sense to judge a style in its own right in the present day than to make obscure claims either for or against it...
Personally I only spar semi or light contact, but I try and do some conditioning and bag/pad work in the hope of finding a happy medium between learning to defend myself reasonably well, but not...
http://www.gbmaa.com/ is the closest thing my club has to a website, though it's actually just an MA related organisation set up by my teacher.
I think www.bsmap.com is a related site too, though...
'Invented by Jeremy Yau?'
I know he changed the style a bit, but that's going a bit far, surely? Especially since I've never yet known a style that *didn't* get changed to some degree by each...
In all fairness he doesn't sound that well informed on the subject...
I'm curious. Does it actually occur to people like you that it's conceivably possible that it's your own press which is biased, not everyone elses?
Anyone with any sense knows that there's no such...
... Or white belt from 96 :)
YC, I'm not gonna take offence to you being more specific. Just in terms of sitting in front of a computer, hitting the palm of my other hand with a phoenix eye, that seemed to be less painful, but...
:rolleyes: Also a good point!
How about this (which feels the most comforatable to me):
Close all fingers except index and thumb. Rest thumb over the middle finger (bottom section of it). Curl index finger over thumb.
Dunno...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I finally found another guy at my uni who trains this style, though not to a very advanced degree (he knows some of the syllabus, but has never graded). He said he lives in Ilford, London, and his...
I wonder if that wasn't a US ballot form with the names changed?
Can someone elaborate on the 2nd version PE described? I think the first is the version I've been taught, but I've always felt it's a pretty hefty gamble - that I could end up doing far more damage...
In a word, no. It took Karl Marx (at a guess) about 500,000 - 1,000,000 words to describe his vision, and as I said, there have been a large number of variants since then. All I can suggest, if...
'Orthodox' Marxism in the sense of Marx's actual teachings is hardly ever referred to any more. When people talk about Marxism, they usually mean neo-Marxism, which is the interpretations which have...
mm, me Gigantor too!
Ok, I see him, but I don't see any details about what kind(s) of Kung Fu he teaches, or how to contact him (or even where Longport Hall is)?
Am I missing something? Could you fill me in?
Avoid anything which involves bending or putting strain on the back (esp. the small of it). I've seen a few teachers do things like that, and I just ignore them and do my own thing.
Basically if...
While we're on the subject, I may as well advertise Curtis' Page:
www.bsmap.com
It's the British Sports Martial Arts Premiership, which atm is semi and light contact, though I imagine it would...
Colin, do you say that from prior experience? Can you be a bit more specific about why you don't like them, cos I've checked on the net and there really doesn't seem to be much choice in the area.
...
Didn't use the quote in the end :rolleyes:
Out of curiousity, would anyone be interested in me posting the essay I *finally* finished on here (it's about 5800 words)? In all honesty, it's one of...
