Right, as some of you may know, Chi Kung can be used for health, etc. But today I was talking to someone about it, and they said it's very dangerous. What are the dangers of Chi Kung?

Jet Li or Donnie Yeng

Whose do you think is better and why?

For me although Jet Li has some awesome moves, Donnie Yeng wins hands down. He just has this great style about him.

there was this one girl. who looks really good. looked about 16 years old, and coudl really kick some *** lol. and there wwere these 3 boys who looked like 4 years youngre than her. and were just flailing their arms and legs about with no style at all. they looked pathetic, what does this mean for the school? also the instructor says to me, a person could get their black belt in 2 years, or it could take their whole life. they also have the policy. the first month is free. then if you wish to continue, its 100$ a month and you sign a contract until you get yoru green belt. then they take peopel from green all the way to black belt. does this seem normal? all i see other than this is a lot of tae kwon do schools and i really dont wna tto do that.

.... not me.

A friend of mine, 23 years old 180lbs, and works out occasionally, made a claim the other day that he can "BEAT ANY WOMAN IN THE WORLD" in a MMA/UFC style fight. He has ABSOLUTLEY no professional training, and is an average joe.

My question is, how do you respond to an arrogant and immature comment like this? His well over his head, and me and my friend going to prove him wrong.

We will launch a website, searching for a female fighter to take up on this offer, and the event will be recorded.

Any suggestions of how we should go about doing this?

Thanks

I personally think having a belt system is great, but do you think the problem lies within the fact that many Martial Arts schools within styles have less of an emphasis on the discretion of the instructor (And how the techniques flow and, apply with the student), than the ability for the student to memorize the criteria?
Example
Capoeira, for instance, takes much longer for promotion (There's usually only one period per year for promotion [The first belt can take up to two years to get]. There's moves you have to know, and over time you build up history of the art, the ability to play instruments, sing some of the songs, and more. The test, however, is usually a roda where you recieve your nickname, and new corda. After a few belts, the test is how you apply what you know into your own thing. All of this is almost exclusively based around the discretion of the instructor.

What do you think of my opinion? What is your opinion of the concept of belt systems?

In taekwondo it seems that they use mostly feet. Is it possible for one to kick if they are jam? I mean when the oponents gets very very close with their hand out. Don't tell me that it is not possible to get close because I know that if you kick you will have to put down your leg after the kick. That is the time when someone can step in. If you don't put don't your leg you won't have much of a balance because you are on one leg. Also don't tell me you going to push them and then kick. How are you going to push someone if they have there hand out and getting very very close to you?

From my knowledge Bruce didn't have a whole lot of ground game and 90% of the time these fights end up on the ground so I would have to say Sean Sherk.
