If you can cave the chest in it MIGHT work. Also, if your lucky enough to have a tail, grab and tear. And whatever you do, i wouldn't suggest letting them grab hold of you in their jaws. They aren't herbivores after all. Well there's my two cents.

In martial arts, the individual get's nurtured and gets to express oneself in his/her own way. Sports concentrate on teams i find lose face of the individual. I have only been part of MA's for about 11 years now, but I would like to believe i'm in it for the long haul. It's part of my life, and it h...

He doesn't sound like much of a fatherly figure to me.

I'm not much of the golf fan, but if it's full contact like that, i guess i'd just HAVE to watch it!

I will have to agree

Verbal Judo: the first, and hopefully only, line of defence.

These are for our dojo, although i would suggest that the kids don't do the conditioning for a testing since they are still developing and it's...

Hello everyone, I wanted to find out the opinions that some of you may have of junior blackbelts.Even though I am a teenager I am not yet the age to test for adult blackbelt last year I tested for my Junior blackbelt and I am now currently the rank of Jun-shodon. I know that some of you feel that i...

And this leads me to beleive that the teachers should be shown, and perhaps tested, on what to do in a [dangerous weapons] situa...
