Well, I don't mind that you lost the match. I do hope you did not lose a tooth.
I just wonder what you will tell people when you lose to me in the Galactic Bash.

'Tig, I'm tempted to keep arguing but I think the rest of the forum is sick of it, so we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Take it out on me when we meet up on PBW:)

I've been practising shotokan for about 5 or 6 years now. I've had various periods when I was either not training at all or training and not grading, so I'm only 8th kyu.

El Scoffo, may be you are right. I am sure the north americans and europeans on this forum didn't even see Brass Eye. Pity, I do love a good argument and at least you have admitted that you eat poo and lick your own genitalia

I am 3rd kyu but havn't had time to go any further really. The ranking annoys me a bit and I think Shotkan karate types are absolute snobs when it comes to belts, gi and stuff. I want to do more kickboxing as it is a better workout and probably more use when I finally come face to face with Gryphin!!

Gryphin, I lost half a tooth (seriously) from a rather nasty punch to my jaw whilst my head was being ground into the mat by his foot. I go to the dentist this evening. I can honestly say that I am black and blue and red and feel like I have been in a sumo match with a particarily huge sumo wrestler who didnt get his lunch. I was well and truly outclassed, outmatched and thrashed. Decent bloke tho my oppo as he did by me a couple of beers to compensate.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">*sigh*, you have to have the Last word, don't you? I admitted nothing (and I have nothing to admit). Ah well.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've heard that high up in most of the UK Karate organisations, snobbery and lame politics are rife- I have met plenty of ppl who've got to their 2nd or 3rd Dan and become so dissillusioned with all the *****ing and backstabbing that they have moved away from karate altogether.

I've been lucky, because although I've trained at loads of different clubs as I've moved around, I've always been able to find at least one sensei who just wants to teach good karate, without any of that crap getting in the way.

It is true, very true, karate is just like any other office organisation and full of backstabbers and brown nosers - really annoys me as this is meant to be a hobby

it's one of those discussions that usually degenerates into farcical stories about who's hardest)

that is definately the ex-Royal Marine

I'd have thought Shotokan would be far more useful IRL than kick boxing, and a better all-round workout, too.

not sure, I feel Shotokan spends far too much time copncentrating on kata and not enough on power combinations and defence mitts

If you like your face the way it is, don't do full contact karate.

Yep, unfortunately, no-one else like my face either

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

All this talk of karate has helped me come up with yet another brilliant idea. Instead of having a SEIV duel to sort our Tigga and Gyphin, we will have them duel in person. Some of you may have seen the Sumo Suits which are often present at fun fairs. They are giant rubber suits that look like Sumo wrestlers and weight a ton. Once you wear one, you waddle into the ring and then face off against another person, similarly encumbered. The testosterone will be crackling and they can fight it out with no risk to their teeth and mustaches.

It seems to me that this would balance the pair out and give them a good method of sorting out affairs. I also think it would be great fun for the rest of us to see them waddling around wearing rubber suits.

Oh, the Young Ones was crap, but Have I Got News for You is delightful.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Saxon, that is probably unfair on Gryphin as I weigh in at 18 stone (100kgs which I think is about 220 pounds for you Yanks) - Gryphin looks far more svelte than that and I would have an unfair weight advantage, as well as being much better looking, suave, sophisticated, stylish, hair-free etc

I suggest an underwater duel with suckerdarts or a paintball challenge

The Young Ones was brilliant at the time. Same as Blackadder, at the time, hysterical, now, a little jaded perhaps

Another brilliant idea Saxon?? when was your first one?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It depends where you train. The first place I trained (Coventry Uni - very good club) we had a proper punchbag (one of the full-size, heavy-as-a-person ones hanging from the ceiling), mits, and every Sunday we'd have a 2 hour session devoted to kumite and working on the bags & mitts. Where I am now, the kata and technique is superb but they consider bags & mitts completely unnecessary and turn their noses up slightly at the mere suggestion.

Personally I don't think you can learn to punch and kick properly if you never actually make contact with anything. how do you know you're doing it right otherwise?

I still wouldn't do full- contact though.

As for power combinations... I would argue that they're not really necessary- I've been taught that the whole ethos of Shotokan is that you only need to hit them once.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">*Gasp* ... Blasphemy!

I loved the Young Ones, and still do. It mightnot be the mid-80s any more but the slapstick and anarchy is timeless. Every time I see Mike nail his legs to the table I crack up.

Not to mention the stupid one-liners:

Viv: Mike, what's good for a hangover?
Mike: Drinking heavily the night before.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Where I am now, the kata and technique is superb but they consider bags & mitts completely unnecessary and turn their noses up slightly at the mere suggestion.

That is always the way - many clubs will concentrate on kata and how Daz-white their gi are - not enough actually concentrate on the power aspect of it - I am 6 foot and 18 stone, what the hell am I going to do with kata - my whole style is close-in power combos (and biting if I am really in trouble)

Personally I don't think you can learn to punch and kick properly if you never actually make contact with anything. how do you know you're doing it right otherwise?

Dogscoff, we agree on something. Unfortunately, my wife also thinks this is correct and that I am the punchbag.

I still wouldn't do full- contact though.

I think I am now officially retiring from full contact now. My weight says that I fight heavy/super heavy categories whcih usualy means the Dolph Lundgrens of this world - they put their hands on my head and hold me off that way

As for power combinations... I would argue that they're not really necessary- I've been taught that the whole ethos of Shotokan is that you only need to hit them once.

I disagree. To get that perfect strike in that disables your opponent is fine for Jet Li in a movie, but you try and do it IRL - the only strikes that will work that way are some of the lethal attacks and you cannot exactly do those round Bournemouth for long. Power combos disable an opponent and do it fast.

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Tigga,

I would suggest leaving a paint ball fight off your list of duels with Gryph. After all, he is American and is likely to have genetic skills in the use of guns. You wouldn’t challenge a Brazilian in football or a Canadian in a moose kissing contest, so don’t run the risk of a gun slinging match with an American with a Wild West Mustache.

I also have a technical question for you. At what dan do you learn the Glasgow Kiss?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Definitely sounds like you need to find a new club. I know for a fact that what you are looking for *is* out there. I have no idea what is available where you are but I'd have thought you'd get a pretty good selection being in a major urban centre as you are.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well... to be fair, kata isn't supposed to be taken quite so literally - it's a way of practising and remembering techniques, and the skills you learn from kata should be transferrable to whatever techniques and combinations you like. That said, you do need a balanced training regime, or you'll have nothing to transfer the skills to.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well then maybe you do need to try a different martial art. Perhaps some of the grip/twist/hold/break ones. Aikido? Kung-Fu has some cool maneuvres. I think you'll find that kick boxing is even more long-ranged than shotokan.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I can't imagine why you got into it in the first place.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I guess it depends who you're up against. You fight in the arena against other martial artists. For me, that would be a means to an end rather than an end in itself, so maybe we're not aiming at the same target.

The most likely situation for me to get into a fight would be with some beered- up idiot falling out of a pub. I might well run into an experienced bruiser but it's unlikely that I'd come up against anyone with any real martial arts training- I'm just too placid to get into a fight with anyone who has the patience to train regularly.

In that case (ie they are more drunk and less trained than me) I think there's probably a reasonable chance of landing a "perfect" (or at least good enough) strike. "Good enough" doesn't necessarily have to mean a KO either - just enough to make them think again or at least give me room to finish them off.

Street-fighting comes down largely to luck anyway - who you're up against, what weapons they have, how many mates are stood behind them, how determined they are to hurt you, how much everyone has had to drink... these are all pretty much random variables. The best you can do (other than avoiding the fight in the first place) is to arm yourself with a technique that is geared towards real combat rather than competition and/ or meditation and/ or impressing girlies. I think Shotokan fits that description.

Wow... I can really ramble, can't I?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Saxon, you must remember that Americans do not have more intrinsic ability with guns than any other race in the world - what they do have is an innate ability to get overweight, put on combat fatigues and run around their house going 'hut hut hut' whilst practising swarm dives and keeping enough weaponry in their garages to equip a modest latin american revolution. They also tend to drive jeeps with 'Neighbourhood Watch types do it in bunkers" stickers or something similar stuck on the back.

Us Europeans just have little old ladies looking through net curtains

You learn the 'Glasgow Kiss' at 9th Kyu. This is the same time that you learn to say, in a Scottish accent, "Has your mother got a sewing machine?, well tell her to stitch that".

You also learn that 2 smashed bottles (1 in each hand) is a great equaliser and that a half brick in a sock is one of the most fearsome street weapons you can face.

No, no, no, you miss my point - my club is great - it is balanced training

being in a major urban centre as you are.

I spend as little time in Manchester as possible and actually live in the Cheshire countryside

to be fair, kata isn't supposed to be taken quite so literally

I knew d'at, my point is that kata is the be all and end all at many clubs.

I think you'll find that kick boxing is even more long-ranged than shotokan.

It is not actually. A lot of it is close range attack combinations and using elbows and knees. The distance punching and kicking is not as fluid as the Shotokan style but is more... tough to describve but instinctive sums it up.

I can't imagine why you got into it in the first place.

seemed a good idea for the first 30 seconds but then I won my first few fights (that biting is a great leveller)

The best you can do (other than avoiding the fight in the first place) is to arm yourself with a technique that is geared towards real combat rather than competition and/ or meditation and/ or impressing girlies. I think Shotokan fits that description.

I agreer with all this but what you also jhave to remeber is that you are as likley to be as drunk as El Smeggo who is having a pop at you. You try doing a spinkick when you need to hold onto the floor for support

Tigga,

I am sure your wife likes centurion legs. We have already established that she is risen from the grave and the Last centurion died 1700 years ago, so there is little doubt she likes the undead look.

However, I am still confused by your conflicting testimony. The Supermodel down the hall claims you look like Shreck, yet you claim to be leaner than lean. My memory of Shreck was that he was green and fat. Unless you can resolve this material discrepancy, I will be forced to assume that you are either fat, green or full of hot air. Actually, I think that I may have just found the truth…
