    Who says Karate doesn't work?!

    you^ prolly just insulted a couple of guys, including me, cause i do demo's sometimes too, the point of being able to kick high, spin fast, make flips, do triple kicks in the air is that your normal kicks and punches become blazing fast, super powerfull, and very controlled, i can easily kick with force above my own head hight, but if i do a low kick, the power and speed is so much higher, y do you think ppl train with weights?, because without them you are faster and stronger, same goes for being able to spin fast and jump high, and no really, if you are trained right, nobody is gonna land a lucky shot on you, the only thing that might happens is that some1 overwhelms you, other than that, some1 without training doesnt stand a chance

    Hmmm... I don't know NextHokage, I've seen my friend take on people more than twice his size. If you know a real martial art then I doubt the other guy can land a single hit on you or even have the time to.

    BTW dark where did you get that statistic in your signature? I think 98% is a bit too high, hehe.

    "when it comes to a real fight martial arts isn't gonna be much help al you can rely on is experiance and good instinct"

    That is the point of kata's and constant repetition of certain movements. so that when you enter a battle instead of flailing around, you have a organized attacks that have already been ingrained from years of practice. Demo's are usually just flashy stuff to get people interested in the style or art. Although being able to kick someone thats 6'5 in the head when your 5'4 is also part of the training.

    Although I do Disagree with Dark and Xollence to a certain extent. You can be as good as you want to think you are, regardless theres Always a chance that someone could get a blow in, wether it be from a planned strike or a flailing of the arm you didnt see. The fact that your practice martial art's just reduces that chance.

    You see things like <u>some</u> demos and these guys train for nothing more than aesthetics and im sure they train hard at what they do .Im not saying these flips and stuff don't have a place there good fitness and agility training if nothing else but can it really be called martial arts (in the traditional sense)

    I can't comment on you or your style or wether or not your well trained and able to effectively utilize what you train i only know you from your posts but saying theres NO chance someone could get a LUCKY shot seems optimistic (confident but still optimistic)

    Im not the best fighter in the world but i can hold my own if i have to and i've had my butt kicked more than once but ive won at least 1 fight where i shouldn't have because i got in a lucky shot

    The whole Mc Dojo thing seems to be a problem everywhere these days run by people who are unqualified and seem to pull there arts history from bad 80's ninja movies and try to pass what they teach as legit styles

    in the traditional sense? i would say yeah, seeing how kungfu incorporates stuff like butterfly kicks and twist, cartwheels, and 540 kicks, so i would say, to some extend, yeah flips and twist can be considered martial arts

    lol, you just compared yourself to guys who train to fight other professional fighters for money.

    Look at my avatar, I'm a jungle witchdoctor with an axe and a hammer. I'd rape you. You're just a fucking apple.

    I'm pretty sure you don't need karate to beat that pimp. He looked more like a homeless guy than a pimp tho.

    @ Darkshadow: Saying how tough you are on the internet isn't a good idea. People will make fun of you, You make it sound like you're some killingmachine. Can you take out a bear with 3 moves to? America will need to watch out if they ever are going to invade The Netherlands, a one man army like you will defeat the entire U.S army without breaking a sweat ey? No more bullshit, you aren't a masterfighter.

    I don't mean to troll, but there is nothing impressive about this video. What the KARATE MASTER did was the nerdy judo chop on that loser's neck. Which isn't anything spectacular. I think people are just making a big deal out of this because the bum was knocked out by a guy who is a martial artist with some notable amount of experience (I'm assuming he had to be well trained since he is teaching other guys). Personally, I think that loser could've been knocked out by any hit with some fair amount of force from anyone seeing as how he didn't appear to be coherent to begin with.

    On a side note. NOBODY MESS WITH DARKSHADOW!!!!!!! SUPER MARTIAL ARTIST WITH A CLICHE, "SCARY" NAME
