Can I do it now? No farking clue, my friends and I got a little too tough to be throwing high powered hard to pull kicks on each other, after one accidental sparring KO I called it quits on kicking my friends, that was when I was like 18, Im 26 now.

I don't think " too tough " was/is the problem . To sloppy maybe . I mean if you are going nice and easy like Tea and Omega were on their sparring vids ... it should be no problem .

I don't throw **** like spinning heels when I spar playfully or purely working technique because I am to damn sloppy , I put more into it than I mean to ... or fall over comically . I always have and probably always will focus on other tools in my toolbox . I don't throw **** like 360 tornado kicks because I never cared enough to practice .

You step it up to medium or full contact , I will occasionaly go rear round low ( slightly out of range or not fully extended ) into a left spinning heel high but only if I am really feeling outgoing and pumped up .

How long you lived in Wilmywood ?

Well from the time we were 13-18ish we would go full contact all out, no pads. Teeth were lost, clavicles cracked, thumbs broken, but your pretty springy at that age for the most part and injuries were few and far between. As you get older your bones become more dense, your striking limb and its target both have less give, meaning harder hits. Going light was not a priority for us, so when it became evident that we could actually kill each other, I quit doing big kicks. Now we dont even spar at all. Sloppy is a bad way to put it when the only concern is not being open if you miss.

I do and I'm afraid I found it so obviously false machismo balls that I didn't bother commenting on it. But since you asked....:)

Oh what the Hell, I'll have a go too....ahem....

When I was a kid I learned martial arts by studying the film Enter the Dragon until I could do everything I saw in the film.

I conditioned my body by getting my friends to repeatedly punch and kick me in the face. I kept this up as I got older and now I am completely indestructible unless of course you hit me with a sledge hammer, in which case I might wince a bit, but then of course I would beat you to death with your own ripped off arms. By the way I lost all my teeth too but I have this special regeneration thing like the Hulk so luckily they all grew back.

I also started out at the age of 3 punching into buckets of sand. Now at the age of 19 I can punch straight through a brick wall without it leaving a mark on me. I am afraid I can't fight anyone though because my hands have been classified as deadly weapons and I had to sign a special document promising I would only use my skills in the interests of national security etc.

I know you guys probably find all this hard to believe but I have this memory of a guy in black pyjamas talking to me in my crib. I have a suspicion that I am the product of a secret genetic splicing of Ashida Kim and Hatsumi...It's all a bit hazy though as the view through the side of the test tube was blurred.
...What...No .....really...honest!!!!!

MarkyMark... I may have asked this before, but, do you have a funky bunch?

ON TOPIC...
The spinning hook kick from the Sambo guy... the best part of that was that he predicted the path of the other guy and the spinning hook is kinda the shotgun spray of kicks if anyone gets in the arc. KPOW.

You are coming across as very not bright . Full contact with no gear is a recipe for failure and injuries .

Teeth were lost, clavicles cracked, thumbs broken, but your pretty springy at that age for the most part

How old are you ?

and injuries were few and far between.

You just listed "Teeth were lost , clavicles cracks , thumbs broken ", all of them in the plural form . In five years that is a lot of injuries . If you were going full contact you would have a much much longer list of injuries .

So were you full of **** then or lieing now ?

As you get older your bones become more dense,

That is pure bullshit and childish conjecture ( proof please )

your striking limb and its target both have less give, meaning harder hits.

again proof please

Going light was not a priority for us,

That sounds very very not smart what was your motivation ? Was it because you didn't have an instructor ?

so when it became evident that we could actually kill each other, I

LOL @ you and your dense , old , deadly bones .

quit doing big kicks. Now we dont even spar at all.

So you really suck now . At least you aren't trying to teach people this crap .

Sloppy is a bad way to put it when the only concern is not being open if you miss.

Well your focus is fucked up and you need to actually study a Martial Art .

In or around it all my life(26 years).

Very good . Where did you train at ?

I am afraid I had to google funky bunch as I hadn't a clue what you meant but it's that rapper guy again....

Damn I wish the forum had just accepted Marky...If I had known about the rapper guy and that boy band I never would have...Oh well you live and learn. :P
