How far away can you blow a candle?
Ah, that is not the question. The question should be "How far away can you blow?"

You know the answer? :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
Haha.... If I knew, I would not have asked, would I not ? Or perhaps, I feign that I not know, even though I do know, and that I want you to think that I know not. But I believe that you know that I know not and hence supply me with a question that I cannot answer.
Does that even make sense ? ;p
Hahah.....
does anyone know where i can learn wing chun in the western part of our island? been wanting to pick up some martial arts as exercise. can't do TKD anymore cos of my knee injuries...
wing chun has always been a somewhat obscure art.
if u lookin at exercise, not much cardio also. mostly arms, minimal body movement and footwork. its idea is short and sharp. get in, finish it fast.
learnt it in mid 90s at kallang.
west side, i dunno. seems that toa payoh, lavender ve ppl teaching.

as a black belt 1st Dan, do you think it's a waste not to make full use your your hands? I have a friend who is a teacher in Karate, he highlighted this shortfall in Taekwondo. Looking at the video, what is your sentiment?
TKD is fond of using only their legs. this was most evident in the past decades. however, in the past few years, more handworks r seen. the art is evolving like all the other arts.
different school has a different school of thoughts. each seems to specialise in different fields. eg gracie jujitsu says that 99% of all fights end up on the ground and therefore, grappling, locks and holds r the most practical.
oyama karate, a full contact system says that it is the most effective and least dangerous because practitioners r trained and expect full force and the result is minimal or no damage as opposed to styles that uses protective wear where the slightlest off target results in injuries.
personally. i think that the best style is the style that suits that individual eg those with long legs r more suited to tkd, strong arm types may benefit more from karate and those heavy ones might excel in grappling techniques like judo or akido.
maybe, the best art is a combination of gymnastics (to dodge), long range art (to attack) and grappling (for final submission).
Hmm, for me, i think that's not the only shortfall in TKD. I have to admit, some of the kicks in TKD are more of flashy than pratical, like, you can't expect to do a 540 in real fights do you? :bsmilie:
However, TKD can serve as a base for other hard fighting martial arts like Muay Thai. In TKD, you are taught to kick fast and accurate, with that base, and muay thai training, you can get fast accurate and deadly kicks to anywhere you want. That just my humble opinion.
heh a minor correction, its not excatly known as oyama karate, Masutatsu "Mas" Oyama is the name of the founder, the actual form is called Kyokushin Karate.
and yes, it is the most physcial form of karate, as compared to the other forms like Shitoryu and Shotokan etc. and yes, in Kyokushin we spar with full force (but only the more serious members actually do that, the younger members tend to fool around, as all children do). We DO use some forms of protective wear during kumite, on occasion, like very basic shin padding and knuckle padding. but no body armour or head pieces.P.S. mis-aimed blows DO cause injuries. i banged up my ankle when i threw a jodan-mawashigari (high roundhouse kick) and had it blocked by my opponent's elbow... in all martial arts there is always a risk of injury.

Tae (Leg) Kwon (Hand) Do (Art)
Tae Kwon Do = The art of Leg and Hand technique.
Only Sport TKD lead by WTF is fond of using legs technique, while the traditional TKD lead by ITF and GTF are still practicing hand, leg, locking and throwing technique all these year.
that simply a back thrust, not a "spiral kick. and actually it isn't really "lethal", to quote you. it's very easy to dodge or block a back thrust, simply because it takes almost three quarters of a second for the opponent to turn and then thrust out. and it's easy to miss, especially after fighting for 5 minutes.. its VERY tiring to spar, kumite (sparring) in karate (i dunno about other martial arts) are limited to one minute bouts.
where did you read that? at least for Kyokushin, sweeps, leg or otherwise, are NOT taught as part of kihon until i think 4th kyu and above... and even then they are only a minor part.
heh this guy, if he really fought like that in a sparring match, he'd be knocked down everytime he tried that... it looks nice on TV and in the movies, but jumping around like that is a sure-fire way to have your butt or face planted on the ground for most of the match. plus its really tiring to do all that. some of the kicks he does, like the jumping roundhouse kick, we do during training to build stamina, cause its so darn tiring, not to use in kumite
