A ‘martial art’ consists of to parts:-

The ‘martial’ bit and the ‘art’ bit. A style that is totally devoid of one is not a ‘martial art’.

However the martial part of an art can be reduced to almost nothing. Such as the ‘Tie Chi’ practised in the early mornings.

Jujitsu is Jujitsu as Karate is Karate.

Both range from Zen to Kempo.

Just my opinion.

Without Lee’s internal content you lose the ‘art’ from your martial art.

Without the external content you lose the ‘martial’ from your martial art.

You must have both ‘martial’ and ‘art’ to make a martial art.

While we’re on the subject. Maybe Bill would be so kind as to settle an argument.

When I fall I breath in holding my breath at the moment of impact. A blue belt has told me that my lungs should be empty. Bill please, is there any medical evidence ether way.

I have been thinking of taking up karate for some kata. All the arts I have done so far seem to avoid them. Can anyone tell me what styles I should hunt down and which I should avoid?

Thanks

I wear a white belt, mostly because I can’t find one of those rainbow ones http://www.xpres.net/~gmattson/ubbs/biggrin.gif . Last time I did holding Randori at my club I beat a brown belt and a second dan. I know most if not quite all the syllabus required for black belt. My white belt dose not mean ...

One of my friends claims they where instructed in karate by a men who wore a gold belt. Any body know if a gold belt is ever awarded and if so what for.
