Martial Arts

I study a form of Chinese Kung Fu (animal style, very much like Kempo). We do not spar. We learn lots of "techniques" which we must know for belt tests, along with katas, but we rarely ever practice them against each other--just do them in the air. Without any kind of real-life street situations, how do I know if I really am becoming a more skilled fighter? Thank you...

Isn't the biggest human on earth bigger in size than a gorilla? (check out Nathan Jones, I'm sure there are many guys even bigger than him). However gorillas are perhaps more powerful pound for pound... so what do you think?

Do you think a human can beat it with skill?

just wondered if anyone else takes Taekwondo (its a martial art)

If so, what belt are you? I'm a 1 tip red belt, almost a black belt, woot woot!

And if you don't take Taekwondo, what sport do you take, or are you interested in?

I just started Kenpo, and I find the names of techniques and forms fly by really fast during class! I'd like to practice at home so I was hoping for a great (and free) website that describes karate stances, katas, and techniques.

Why do I mostly see kicking in tae kwan do and rarely any punches? Punching is allowed...correct?

I've been taking aikido for a couple months now and I enjoy it a LOT; but I'm just wondering as to what its practicality is when it comes to the real world is as compared to other martial arts-- I've asked others this and gotten very mixed results; i'm hoping that whoever answers this has experience with aikido and some other martial art.

I mean how does that happen? When you are a fighter aren't you supposed to have good reflexes or are you so focused on your attack that you just don't see the other person's attack coming?
