given that kicking is my primary skill, i figure i can help. 1. It is not as simple as "throw 100 kicks" What helped me was breaking down each kick into its components, videotaping your kicks helps, are you not getting enough hip torque? or hip thrust (for a front kick). How is the angle of...

Wow, you really get heated over this, thats really common for someone 18+ years old, and that fights professionally.....something does not fit. Congrats on having the hvy weight belt in internet championships. Go get your pro fighter tag on here if you are what you say. If you really knew...

Nice try. A. WKF karate is the world karate federation, the organization Machida competed under in karate rules. Since you know so much about karate though. As most styles of karate competition differ in rules and regs, they all have their own unique footwork and fighting strategies...

Wow, Now I know why I dont really come on this site anymore. So many well, morons and kids that must really have daddy issues. @ those who think "oh its just the same as boxing" . No, no it is not. Karate and boxing footwork have many similarities, yes, but stance, certain movements, angles...

What do you mean you dont have the means to PNF. You use your own body. I dont buy the cant get flexible thing. Anyone can, and in a short amount of time. I used to be super inflexible, read some Tom Kurz and others and within a few months i was doing splits and high kicks. Now I barely stretch...

tkd kicks dont take that much energy, it was meant to be similar in mechanics to running. The other myth is tkd kicks arent using the hip. Theyre ALL hip if done correctly. Getting a black belt is one thing, but reaching the top level of competition in the US is extremely hard. The depth of...

Russ Anber's boxing instructionals with David Lemieux as a teenager were hands down the best boxing tutorials I have ever watched, and helped alot. Very very solid technical boxer.

start throwing 1000+ leg kicks a day. then watch videos of Rob Kamann and Hoost. Repeat every day. I am absolutley serious.

noobsaibot, you posted sparring gear that is for point karate not olympic tkd. Spinning kicks are also used fairly infrequently with preference given to the roundhouse 90% of the time. I could go on. Id like to see some of your training or fight videos since you are such a badass. Generally...

My instructor is a judo and taekwondo guy. Old enough that he still teaches palgwes. Tkd definatley took a back seat as he was world renowned for his judo, and just happened to do tkd. There is a story on the net about him throwing the shit out of Jon Bluming, who for those that dont know is one...

Hey guys. Just finished 11 weeks of 5x5. 5 rm max went up to 385. Im gonna start the program over with box squats, but was wondering, since they are harder, what percentage of that max to base it off of. ATM I am basing my box squat max as 80ish % (330).

To the OP, check out Mancino's academy in Erie. I have heard good things and am curious to see if they hold up.

I am from pittsburgh, I do taekwondo as well as some other arts. I wouldnt recommend it for mma unless you have already been proficient in it and wanted to crossover. Parks Tkd seems ok, I have competed at the same tournaments as some of their people and they did good. I would recommend...

And btw Robert D. You do not need weight lifting to be a good fighter, nor develop punching power. But do not talk about shit you are not experienced in "weight lifting makes you slow etc" Read about sport science and educate your self before you make ridiculous claims. Tightness in your muscles...

Punching strength is overrated in terms of fighting ability. you want to knock people out or win fights. Work on these things 1. Technique ( = speed and power) when i started shadowboxing for 12-15 rounds a day I got much bettter and terms of speed power and fluidity. 2. Footwork. power...

that is absolutley untrue. Kickboxing does not use the type of footwork or stance that machida does.... all traditional shotokan. Kickboxing does not use sweeps in the manner that machida does. The majority of kickboxers do not chamber their kicks unless they come from a tma style. Even...

Front kick to the shin. That shit hurts and nobody sees it. I also like to wear cowboy boots, which adds to the pain. THEN you can punch them.

it took me 8 years to get a bb Of course i switched styles though , 4 years in kung fu, 4 in tkd... take your time. No rush. Especially when you are doing full contact. I am glad i waited personally. Judokas at my school take 5-8 years for shodan, but its a very competition oriented judo program

Howd you do at illinois states Appelkick? I saw some fights on youtube and it looked solid.

I could not tell if you were blue/purple belt or 1st degree..? Anyways, listen to kyryllo.. he knows his stuff and gave me good feedback. You can look on youtube for my videos true2kungfu is my youtube.. as well.. You dont seem to have any intent for what you are doing...ie wasted...
