I really can't believe you are this obtuse

Any idiot can, and frequently DOES, put stuff up on the internet

I guess I have to smack down the incorrect again

Among the many great lucks I've had in life, I studied Moo Duk Kwan under the late Pong Ki Kim in the 1980's. Master Kim was a DIRECT STUDENT of Hwang Kee and RAN the Moo Duk Kwan's southern district (like 19 schools) for him for like 10 years.

I can safetly say that what I wrote about Moo Duk Kwan is correct and the web page simply represents the worst in martial arts, over mystified boooollllll shhheeeeeettt that sadly people like you read uncritically and simply accept


So, <b>ONCE AGAIN</b> I have to point out how silly what you post is....

I notice you stay way clear of the Seven Star Manits and Pek Gwa information.....

This board has to have the dumbest posters I have ever seen.

Everybody knows that Helio Gracie discovered America in 1936.

[lkfmdc]

actually, helio actually invented north america after he read about it in a judo book

(probably too obscure for KFO types to get)

[old jong]

I always thought that Helio taught his style to kimura who then taught it to Kano's gardener who then......................Up to Ralek!...

[old jong]

BTW
The Koreans invented martial arts 25,984,372 years ago.

[Water Dragon]

Yeah, but Helio invented the Koreans.

[old jong]

Royce would have choked them all if he had been born at the times!

[lkfmdc]

the only strange thing is that some people claim the Helio didn't really invent Royce

Why do you think Helio hates Kimura so much

[lkfmdc]

that was just plain WRONG

[Vash]

What is your art called? I wish to mock it in a song.

[rogue]

Funakoshi was Okinawan after all and didn't think much of his Japanese students...

David, wondering where did you get that from?

EF, never, ever believe Korean history.

[backbreaker]

While IMA's don't excactly have round kicks like other styles they do have them and I'm pretty sure they have defences to them and take them into acount. I've seen applications using switching stepping that invole catchining the leg and even stomping down on the opponent when they go for a low sweeping roundhouse. I think defending roundhouse kicks is a major application for many of the forward front type kicks and jumping kicks, and stomping as well. Also using the knee and shin defensively with peng is important I think

[Vash]

Again, as was stated, Funakoshi wanted to be liked.

I think I'll get all controversial on this by saying, "go to watch 24 fighting chickens."

There's your Shotokan/JMA covered.

There's a baby in the bath water, but the bath water is very dirty and needs to be thrown out right away!

True: it's dangerous to lead with a flanking maneuver, whether side stepping or hooking or roundhouse kick. A flanking maneuver works if it is a response to another's attack, but not to initiate an attack.
