What are some of the techniques? Is there more punches? Kicks? Throws? Submissions?

Here is a link to a demonstration page: http://www.scademo.com/demo.fighting.php
These men and women study Western European medieval combat, and have full contact, unscripted, unchoreographed tournaments to determine who is the better fighter that day. Oh, and they don't have judges. The combatants are honor bound to stop using an arm if the arm gets hit, or fall over 'dead' if a sufficiently forceful blow lands on the torso or head. Would you consider it a Martial Art, like Kempo or something?

you have two students: student A has been with you longer, has more skill and has a better teaching ability.
student B hangs out with you outside class and "hooks you up" with cash and is buddy buddy with you.

which one if either should be the Ichibon Sempai

What do you consider is the requirement for Sempai, as a side note.

Pretend that you would, if you wouldn't.
If you started your own system and you were going to rank yourself what would you rank yourself and why?

Remember, no answers like you can't do that. or I wouldn't do such a thing. How about It wouldn't mean anything. on and on

If you don't want to give an answer to the question just get your two points and move on. Everyone else answer honestly. No judgement or harrassment will insue. Oh yea nothing about belts being worthless and such. All those types of answers will not help in my quest for martial knowledge.

At 2:05, the Taekkyon master starts to talk about striking from different regions.
He describes Japanese striking as somewhat straightforward, with a loud yell (AHHH)
He describes chinese striking by using the body to move back and forth with a sort of smooth strike (CHUUUR [Sounds like a loud and long breath])
Then he describes Korean striking as fast with a sort of whip at the end (TUNG! :P)

Do you think his description was accurate? You might want to watch the video before listening to my description.

Ok, I when I was younger trained in several martial arts, attaining black belts in judo, and Hapkido before I was 14 years old. ( Since then I have had to have major back surgery which for all intents and purposes wiped out my martial arts involvement) but I have kept an interest in the subject. If it is anything ive realized to this point its this, martial arts are wonderful for keeping in shape, and effective if used under controlled scenerios such as against another martial art in a match. But to this day 22 years since I first took a judo class, I have yet to see any martial art which offers an effective way of fighting in a real street fight situation. Now I dont mean a mugger trying to get your wallet, I mean an old fashioned bar fight. Where you got some guy who just comes swinging haymakers at you and wont back off. I have yet to see any martial art that offers a legitimate way to deal with a real parking lot type fight situation. If anyone knows of one Id be very interested

I decided to stay in my school and keep studying the Steal Generation MMA System, with our Shidoshi John Threadstone. Anvil training is tough but Shidoshi says that I am doing good now. I made it passed horseshoe training and the next few months are going to be harder for me.

I have to get toughened up, so the instructors spend the first and last 10 minutes of the class taking turns punching me in the core and smacking me across the back with wooden planks. I also have to punch a concrete wall 25 times a night to strengthen my hands. Sometimes they use the nail gun to get me used to impaling weapons. I think the worse part is doing 100 pushups afterwards. It hurts a lot, but they say that by the time I finish my black belt that I will be able to drive nails into a board with my bare hands like that guy in the in the movie Fists of Fury.

How long does this take? Can anyone tell me what to expect next? How long until it stops hurting so much? Is it normal to bleed so much?

Or does the punching glove and mitts protect boxers/kickboxers from this kind of trauma to the joints and wrists?

So I've started a kickboxing class which I'm super duper stoked about! It's alot of fun and not only will it get me in shape and teach me some self defense maneuvers, but I also have a chance to compete against other girls if I decide to take this seriously enough and really committ. The problem is, I'm not looking forward to having warped ears, or black eyes, or broken jaws and noses so I'm a little worried that it may be too extreme of a sport for me. I dunno...those of you out there who actually do this, is competing really the ultimate goal of this sport or am I just better off training and getting in shape with it?

I know he spent time in the mountains, but what did he do? I'm asking because I practice Muay Thai, and don't know a thing about karate. Am I able to hit as hard as him if I push myself enough, or is it just a Karate thing where you hit people certain ways and ****?

He has made so many movies and has shown so much ability to perform the martial art but is he now a master?Just Curious!

I've heard that practicing martial arts and being a Christian doesn't mix (as many martial arts contain Buddhist/Taoist influences and require you to meditate on stuff and/or bow to your master, all of which is a grey area for me as a Christian).

All I want is the physical/character-building benefits of martial arts training (discipline, strength, flexibility, self-defence etc.), so am looking for something fairly non-spiritual and ideologically neutral, with meditation sessions kept minimal and low-key.

How does hapkido rate? Is it among the least spiritualistic of the martial arts?

I loved watching this guy ever since he started doing those HK flicks in the late 80s. I thought he might become the next Bruce Lee of the 90s but somehow he faded from the scene, but reappeared a few years later trying to get into Hollywood.

Name your top 3 favorite Donnie Yen movie and why.
