wow I like only one sword style so i can concentrate but I also do this because I add in some other martial arts to accompany my sword style. From time to time I will use two; also like you were saying kendo is too rigid. Also something I have tried (which was dumb but sounded cool at the time), I tried to copy Roronoa Zoro's Santōryū (literally: three sword style) where he hold one of the swords in his mouth, its a lot harder than it looks. Your neck has to be insanely strong to block, also to mention hopefully you have a padded handle on your practice sword or you run the risk of chipping your teeth. Yep but in the end it was cool to try, but at the end your neck is sore from slashing and blocking.

Oh noes...
Well I accidentally punched someone in the nose (from the side) a long time ago because we were messing around and I punched the air and he dodged into it... That was years ago but I still feel bad about it, thankfully I have improved since then so I can avoid hitting someone on accident.

You don't want to know about the bruise that I got on my nose when someone threw me head first straight into the mat, Luckily she didn't get a score from it, unfortunately, she proceeded to pin me down >__> I had to put a decent amount of make-up on to cover that one up ...
I got another little bruise on my chin when I was trying to rip of someone's grip on me, and instead punched myself in the chin.

Furanshisu917:- I can't see why they don't do jujitsu instead, I would've thought it more useful.
Also are you being affected by the change in grading?

you would think it was more useful, but they proved that judo was much more reliable for safe throws which would completely disable the criminal, they also study judo in the military forces, but its more of they just drill the basics over and over again. and eh yeah i will be affected, ive missed my last 2 belt gradings and because of that my next grade im supposed to be allowed to jump a belt, but now i cant and i will have to wait another 3 months till my next grading to get to that belt

Roflmao I do normal Karate (self-defense) I dropped out when I got purple belt...because I thought it was really stupid. We did "paterns" and I didn't think any of that was really going to help me. Except the stretching part because now I can almost do a split...almost as in kind of still far away xD

I do Muay Thai too. That's where i get strength and power from.Now i still don't train nothing for speed but i am thinking in join some Taekwondo .But i am very speed naturally so i dunno maybe i don't join.
But with Muay Thai ill do just fine to defend myself or attack someone.
Btw Blaze do you train your shins?

**Silverstone** · 07-25-2008, 07:18 AM

Shin training sucks nuts...

**Blaze7** · 07-25-2008, 10:32 AM

I do a bit but like silver says shin training can suck. But I'll have to pick it up more if I want to get better.

**MedusaSpaceJew** · 07-25-2008, 11:18 AM

Why suck?Dont you know that most Muay Thai martial artist are famous by there "iron" shins.

I know but after I practice/train the other martial arts I feel dead w/no motivation.
