Scoring in martial arts level of competition is completely subjective and exactly what occurs following the very first strike does not matter to the effect of the scoring of the exchange. Therefore we have seen martial arts competitors jump all over the sparring floor with unequaled speed, land their strike, then stand in range with their hands on their own thigh, actively playing up their position to judges offering very little respect for their opponent's come back.

Not everyone knows this but Bruce Lee never fought in any competitions!

If you ever get the side mount then you need to do this move. It is absolutely awesome! The opponent does not know if you are going for an arm bar or a gi choke.

One of my goals this year is to get more flexible. I have always had a hard time getting my kicks over my chest. And now that I plan on doing some serious competitions this year I want to make sure I can fool my opponent with some high as well as low kicks.

So I am getting the above stretching machine at www.bestlegstretchers.com. I am going to get the heavy duty model. In addition to the stretching machine I also want to get involved in some good yoga classes. I hear yoga is suppose to help with the over all stretching and limberness. I even saw a news report about yoga.

So enough talk - time to action!

For more than 1000 years kung fu has been practiced in the monasteries around the world, KungFu or Shaolin Gung Fu has been practiced by many people really young age to 'adults.' If you prefer your youngster to master this popular sort of style you've to participate or join a School. Your youngster is awarded the most effective result in the training school she or he is joining because it can have some really positive effects. Can it be since you want your kid exercising, self development or even self defense? KungFu is quite common and you can find many people who want to do this as an Olympic sport however it ha not yet made it into the Olympics yet.  Always remember if you simply study and continue practicing you will continue to get better and better.

So what do you need to get started? First you or your kid will need a uniform and some equipment (order here http://www.classickungfuuniforms.com/products/training-equipment/.) Then you will need a great teacher. You can look in the yellow pages (for you old timers) or you can ask around and see what other people are doing and who they train with. (See other types of uniforms here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNqcakxziHA)

Or you can go to some local colleges and see if they have any instructors or classes going on .

It is my brother who introduced me to martial arts when I was 12 years old, since he himself was practicing Jiu-Jitsu, and he told me to try and learn Muay Thai or even Karate so he will have someone to spar with, and also try practicing the Mixed Martial arts in time because he wanted to join the MMA tournaments in the near future.
 
I chose taekwondo because it was something I had always watched in movies and I was intrigued about this martial arts. My brother supported me in this by buying me my own martial arts equipment especially my sparring gear (I bought my sparring gear at taekwondosupplies.org ) to be able to train in Karate, and he also looked for a good studio for me to enroll in. That was more than 4 years ago, and now I am already a black belter in karate while he is also at the same level in Jiu Jitsu, and the fun thing is that we are able to practice out martial arts together and use the martial arts equipment together too. We are able to spar and know the differences in our martial arts, and we are able to improve our skills way better. 

Though it may be  more than 3 or 4 years away before we can join legal fights since 18 is the minimum age level requirement, we are glad to just be able to hone our skills, and we might also be planning to learn some more martial arts aside from the ones we already know. This way come the time we are legal to join the tournaments already, we will have more experience and more knowledge of different martial arts which might prove to be the winning formula for us in the future. For now, we will focus more in developing our skills to further better it.

These days, there are so many people who are getting involved in martial arts and karate. This is the reason why there are also a lot of people who are looking for the right gear for their style. If you do not have any idea where you can get the martial arts supplies that you need for the contact sport that you are into, then you should know that there are so many local sports houses that can offer you the stuff that you need.
