"Train without the pain"

[cyrijl]

I'd send a letter to the Krav people ,but they have no contact info on their website...I am pretty sure it is against copyright to use images of another company to sell your pirated martial art.

Sad that these kinds of schools are still out there. With all of the information available on the Internet, Google and the world famous Bullshido, I am surprised this stuff is still going on.

12.) All belts should be tied to hang evenly, as one side represents the mind and the other represents the body.

Limp and flailing without control the left side represents your body.

Dull and spineless the right side represents your mind.

Given the belt hanging issue is important enough for them to write it down as a rule; Do you think they'd enforce it just from appearance or maybe they'd measure carefully with a ruler or something :S

[MrGalt]

Wouldn't tying your belt to hang evenly because it looks rather silly otherwise be enough?

I mean, I know in styles like kyukoshin or judo you have to rapidly retie your belt from time to time because it gets untied and you don't have time to match it up perfectly, but in TKD if you're not doing anything other than kicking the air and grabbing each other's wrists you should at least be dressed neatly.

I think they should add a rule that if anyone accidentally sweats he should immediately shower and change uniforms just for the sake of good dojang hygiene.

Okay, this there just made me fall of the chair and tears actually rolled down my face.

Okay kids, now that you drank the kool-aid, let's all chant our most glorious chant:

A. T. A. !!!!!



Seriously, has anyone else seen this most peculiar ritual?

At about 2:05, they yell it after bowing:

I'm almost tempted to take that bet. But I don't gamble, so...
Nice image though.

FIVE BUCKS!!! says that this dojo puts in a middle aged short fat butterball of a girl with thick glasses into the UFC, and ide bet anything she is going to OWN Brock Lesnar with 1 hand tied behind her back, blindfolded, and on oiled roller skates....

Anyone else believes CBF is simply Stephen Colbert in disguise?

Hard work is a necessary, but not sufficient, precondition for improvement.

I concur. In addition . . . "Consistency: It's only a virtue if you're not a screwup."

That right there is the finishing blow. Fatality. Flawless Victory.

I'm not saying that. what I'm saying is that they're probably making a fraudulent claim because I doubt anyone their is capable or certified to teach BJJ in any way.

Are you kidding? ATA is barely certified to train TKD. Of course they don't know how to teach BJJ.
Hell, when I went to ATA, the school I trained at claimed to teach XMA. Problem though, the instructor could barely jump, let alone do the ridiculous fancy kicks. ATA is just Tiger Shoman's. Replace Karate with TKD and you're set.

WHAT??? I'm not talking joint pain or injury pain damn it! If your muscles dont' hurt and you feel like you're taking a maniana and just socialising in the dojo, than WTF, dude?
