I know most people on here are inteligent enough to avoid falling for the No Touch KO BS, but If you take the Chi guys excuses logicaly, that people who train hard anyway are more resistant to Chi attakcs because they also have strong Chi, why no then train hard anyway since then not only will you have strong Chi but also be bale to kick some serius arhse?

is this a monthly/yearly competition? How long the show has been going on? It became a ritual for me to catch the show in G4 but now i am seeing mostly the repeats. I know this Novemeber couple of Americans are competing, this tells me the show is still going in and live in Japan.

One more quesiton: any word on Yamada, did he ever make it all the way; i feel for me; he is my favorite. I saw in youtube, nagano seems to have made it all the way (2nd ninja warrior).... please confirm.

I have 2 old japanese swords that my family has had for a long time.. One I'm focused on more than the other, since I found a certain signature on it. It reads in japanese characters:
O
Gasa
Wara
Naga
Mune
Sake

So apparently it is a name, and I found only one name online that matched; a person called Ogasawara Nagamune(Sake just indicates the maker) who lived from 1492-1549.
Now, the fact that it has a belt buckle which was common at this time(Mouromachi period 1465-1555) and has a Koto sword period(900-1530) style with a blade from 60-65cm leaves me thinking that it might actually be 500 years old perhaps. The tang of the blade (both blades actually) reveal a rusty untouched brown patina(not from rain), which is a sign that it is old.. So it's all good news so far. For some reason however, the sheath, tsuba, and fittings all carry the Tokugawa shogunate crest, the 3 leaf hollyhock.. Any sword experts out there who can help me find this swords origins??? jedimasterham@yahoo.

I'm stuck between styles. Shotokan karate is really cheap (£2 a lesson) and I already have some experience in karate. However, I've heard that Krav maga is much more effective..but more expensive. Then again I'm also into boxing, and would like to do wrestling at some point... what should I do????????

i have to decide which 1 to get, a punch bag or a floor to ceiling ball.
the thing is i think i will be able to afford the floor to ceilng ball as it is much cheaper than a heavy bag.

so is it worth buying a floor to ceiling ball.

thanks

I was thinking of starting Shotokan Karate, partly for the sport participation, partly for fitness and flexibility and partly as marks towards my PE exams (its the only martial art that the examiners can grade me on). However, everyone says this is ineffective, so should I study krav maga aswell???

I was in a boxing gym and I had to spar with this guy who was going professinail in two years and signed a 7 figure contract also but his not old enough to fight just yet. Anyways when the bell rung for the first 30 seconds i was winning coming at him with all i got and i backed away because i got tired . Then he punched me in my chest uppercuted and a good shot in my eye and everything was blurry. I just keep my guard up and tried to throw some punches but he was way to fast and he was really a good dodger so i could not him him. Anyways he landed about 50 good punches on me and was just tagging me and i was ready to go downn but i have to much heart just to get knocked down so i backed up and charged at him like we were wressling and put him agaist the ropes and punched him he got out and punched me in my eye and the bell rung. And we went to our corner 60 seconds latter he was tagging me punch after punch i was woosy but i had to much guts to go down i just started swinging hoping

I was just wondering what the purpose was to wear a headband when practicing Karate. They dont wear them in other martial arts. I personally dont like it. It's too "karate kid-ish."
