Martial Arts

well I'm going to have to fight someone thats not bigger than me, hes my height, but he is stronger than me. Is there a way to beat him anyway? and is there a way to keep my confidence up during the fight because I fight better when im confident in myself.

keep in mind that this isnt a real fight, there isnt going to be chair smashing or any blood. their isn't gonna be any big injurys either

i love martial arts with all my heart. i practice every day until im sweaty and exhuasted. then i get a good nights sleep and im perfect for the next day. but lately ive noticed my muscles are fatigued and i get tired faster. could it be that my body cant take it. i know i over do it sometimes but should i really turn down my entire workout?

Imagine this.......even though Mike is now a has been, I still think Mike Tyson in th UFC is a money maker. The Ultimate Fighting would be Great for Mike. Mike Tyson is a street Brawler who knows how to fight and can still hit hard.
Can he survive against the following UFC stars???
A- Chuck the "Iceman" Lidell
B- Rampage Jackson
C- Tim Silvia

I think SO!~

How do martial artists break bricks and boards? How do they develop their skill?

I recently bought a DVD called Fat-Burning Kickboxing Workout for Dummies, and when they do the ten step tutorial, the instructor breaks down each key move. I cannot tell the difference between the sidekick and the roundhouse. I watched her do both closely and carefully and they seem to be exactly the same. What am I missing?

I do karate, and through that, we have to do a lot of push-up. I hate them, but I still would like to have more strenght in my arms so I could follow easily the rest of the class. And I like my arms to not be the same size all way through...

Other than sparring on occasion, can you tell me some good drills to keep the adrenaline down and to prepare me more for self-defense situations?

I've been in a traditional noncompetitive art for years. We do forms, ground work and locks.

I've decided that I want to learn muay thai. For like 5 minutes they had us shadow boxing. I've never done anything like that before. I'm used to kata, but not this.

What should I try and focus on? How useful do you think shadow boxing is? What are the pros and cons?

I have been wanting to learn a martial art for quite a while, although I'm careful about where I spend my money. I want a "real" dojo and not one in a shopping mall that parents use to babysit their kids. No preferance on style, I believe that if you learn one style well enough it doesn't matter who you fight. Though I want a school with a history of competition fighting. Please only people with actual knowledge and not their friends thoughts on it, thank you.

doing exercises where one would hold a pad, and hte other would kick at it. now as i was holding this pad. and this guy kicks really damn hard! my instinct, for some reason was to flex my abs aginst hte blows. but it seemed that really i was just holding my breath or something. i dunno. after that, we did all kinds of exericses , sit ups, push ups and jumping jacks. i thought it was all easy. then i come home, like 45 minutes ago. and i seem to be having trouble breathing. any ideas?

I watch alot of UFC and MMA and I was wondering what the starting points of Jiu Jitsu are? STANCES, TECHNIQUE etc? I am a good streetfighter, my estate is a bit rough so I get into alot of fights. Im 16 I got in a fight with a 20 yr old or over in the city centre and won. This is because of experience with kids around my area, in school, in town etc. I do have a bad temper aswell though. There are also no MA clubs or teaching lessons for kungfu, tkd etc or anything around my area and I want to get better at my fighting skills. I have a boxing bag and am inroled in gym Can anyone help?
