OK, I don’t want to sound vain or shallow or anything. I am in high school and I am thinking of starting some type of martial arts. I would like to get by black belt in something before I go off to college. The reasoning: I will not have time to study MA in college, or at first when I enter "the real world" after college. I know a black belt is when you are supposed to be able to start working by yourself, or it is at lease a good half waypoint. If I only got part way through my training, I would have to start over after college so everything was still fresh in my head (I would like to pursue a black belt later if I do not get it now), I think it would be easier to get a black belt if it was fresh in my head
So my question is: what is a good MA that I get a black belt in 3-4 years, and I mean REALLY TRULY LEARN IT, not just buy it? How often would I have to practice? Any help/suggestions are appreciated….. Thank you

I'm 14 and I'm thinking of doing martial arts to become more healthy and be able to take care of myself in bad situations if need be. Here's the tricky part, I STINK at coreography and could hardly ever remember the moves at my old place. So what would be a relativly easy and effect style to learn?

I'm tall and lanky and not too aggressive unless I'm angry. If that helps any.

I recently pulled a muscle, lower part of my left trapezius/about where it connects to the lat and muscles of the lower back. I tore it 8 years ago, has bothered me for years since, but for last 7 months of working out have been ultra cautious with it - and pulled it jumping rope last week.
For the first couple days I iced it, now I warm up and stretch it everyday, do a couple hot compresses a day, and wall pushes once or twice. Its been exactly 1 week - still not fully healed, but with my care it's healing very rapidly.
For the couple months leading up to when I pulled it, I would jump rope every morning, then after work go to martial arts classes for an hour 4-5 times a week, then do pushups and abs immediately afterwards - all with warm-up and stretching beforehand. When I resume physical activity I won't do all these things at once so suddenly - but my questions are:

Where can I find Katanas made with ultra-high quality materials? The cost doesn't matter, as long as the quality is extremely pure.

Thanks for the help!

This was the stupidest decision I've ever seen and it must mean that takedowns aren't worth anything, so why should fighters put so much effort into the takedown. The same thing happened when Ed Herman and Kendall grove fought. The judges need to change this or I will stop watching this sport. How on earth could they have given Bisping the victory?

UFC 75 (Viva Las Vegas)

Hamill Bisping UFC 75

This is the most BS fight I have ever witnessed, I'm pretty sure HULK HOGAN vs. ANDRE THE GIANT was more legit.... Obviously somebody was giving out h*nd j*bs in the British judge's lockeroom before the match (Joe Rogan), because their minds were someplace else - but not in this fight.

Quite clear Hamill won!!!!!

I know Dana is desperate to have the British subjects in his audience, but there is something to be said about subtlety!!

DANA gained all of five fans in Britain but lost 1000's in America…

I watched the UFC because I believed it was not rigged like the BS PRIDE and Don King boxing.

At this point I'm sure of one of two things; either VEGAS had some money on the fight, or equally likely, Rogan gives fantastic h*nd j*bs . ROGAN did not call out this cr*p, and Randy, where were you?!! p.s. Rogan, you're a F*AG.

Q. Jackson already admitted PRIDE management tried to pay him.... looks like some PRIDE m

I've seen more independent films being made with a certain type of sword play. It's not the films I'm focusing on, by the fighting system they use.

This fighting style seems to use katanas of average length and there were two people fighting in this particular scene. They started to go at each other but they did not draw their sword as you would expect except they took a very hands on approach. When they did weapon attack it was by flinging the sheathe in their off-hand between kicks or punches.

Ocassionally they drew the swords but with shearing speed. I admit it could be special effects that made it from sheathed to swung but it was interesting. And after they attacked with the sword they immediately sheathed it. I also noticed that when one of them drew from the hip again the defender held up his katana and drew it only half-way, successfully using it as a block.

More details follow:

This has been somewhat true for boxing and other contact sports for a long while that if a fighter who is a heavy favorite(Fan favorite, Vegas Favorite, hometown favorite) is somewhat behind in early rounds comes out and has a decent final round the decision often goes to them. It really is a shame that this type of thing goes on, but I have lost count of how many fights seem to follow this script over the years in all contact sports. As a fan would it be refreshing if UFC would just come out and admit this? Just say hey even if you are losing the fight by a decent margin and you have a good final showing you win? It would certainly be more accurate to what occurs very often in the fighting world. Or should the fight world continue to labor under the delusions that all rounds are weighted equally?

Or would you just be leaving yourself open to a follow up attack. Should you just block it?

What is the proper etiquette in addressing one's Sensei? I have always presumed the term/title Sensei should come after the surname. Should the title/term Sensei come before or after the Sensei's surname?

I have also read addressing one's Sensei should NOT include their "rank", such as Hanshi Jones or Kyoshi Smith. They should always be respected by addressing them as Jones Sensei or Smith Sensei. But I found other students addressing their Sensei and other students with their rank.

What is the proper Dojo etiquette?

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Tamiko
**I have asked this question on several Japanese language sites and several martial arts sites, all respond differently. I would sincerely like to learn the proper etiquette.

i try not to get into fights but i've gotten into quite a few and they've all been with bigger and stronger opponents. I'll need to beat them quickly so they dont have a chance to hit or hurt me cause the people i get into fights with are always stronger. i need to learn not only to get my fists moving fast butt also my entire body to move incredibly fast.
