I think you already know it's not useful on the street. The defense of karate is useful. But not really the striking...

i wouldnt say that... shotokan strikes are very powerful, easily capable of incapacitating someone. That elbow strike there doesnt take much break ribs, and in the end you only need to hurt them enough so that they dont wanna play anymore. The most important factor i think is getting the mindset to allow yourself to inflict damage. No sport can do that for you, only experience.
Do you train in any martial art?

I got a to green belt in Tae Kwon Doe, so I don't know exactly how much this is going to mean, but the only move I learned that would be extremely useful was blocking a kick and grabbing the leg, and then swiftly kicking the attacker in teh nutsac, and then taking him down with an elbow to the head. Mainly only because of the swift kick to the nuts

well, our sensei says... "No martial art will guarentee your win in a fight. A man can stand around the corner with a shovel and hit me as I turn, chances are I would get hit. But a martial art can give you an edge."
In truth, if "fighting" is the only reason you want to study a martial art, then you need to take some sort of military pratice, like Krav Maga. There is much more to a martial art then your ability to beat someone up. Most of the time you arent in a one to one situation anyway. More then likely you will have more then one opponents, some of whom may be armed. In my opinion, for just pure one on one sparring, something like jujitsu is probably better, for self defence things like Krav Maga. But i enjoy karate, and Kenjutsu, not because it makes me a "bad ass" but because the training is difficult and fun.

I actually enjoyed doing Tae Kwon Doe for the year that I was studying it. And after like the first month, my brother and I started going to the sparring sessions and those were a lot of fun. Then we could beat the shit out of each other without our parents whining about it.

I was a first degree black in TKD and I'll say anyone who thinks it doesnt pertain to a real fight is just a dumbass with no experience in martial arts other than the occassional jackie chan movie.
kicks, elbows and other strikes all work well in a regular fight. if youre just going to square off and punch neither of you has an advantage. you can do more damage with something other than a punch

I've studied (and still do) Krav Maga and I'll tell you that DOES beat the pants off most martial arts but it is more geared at defense. that would be to say defense with a retaliation thats going to kill someone haha

I've been in at least 20 street fights. And for the most part Karate is nonexistent. I liked the defense techniques in Karate. But I learned more from Boxing on how to strike a person with power and precision and grappling also helps because a lot of fights end up on the ground and aren't a sparring match. I've also beaten up 2-3 so called black belts. 2 from Karate & 1 from Tae Kwon Doe. I think some martial arts doesn't really prepare you for a real fight. They prepare you for a staged fight....

People who take martial arts don't take it so they can beat someone up, that's not the point. So saying that you have beaten up black belts doesn’t mean you are stronger, it just means you get into too many fights. Martial arts is more about learning how to focus and developing your body mentally and physically. I in karate so I know how to avoid being in a fight, fighting is silly. There are other ways to solve problems.

I really don't fight that much. Most of them were in college with kids thinking they were hard. And sometimes you can't avoid fighting. It is what it is....

aye, sometimes it is unavoidable, and fights are usually started by those who know the least about them...
In the end, I would say you wanna fight, join the military. There are few other cases were you can train for the sole purpose of fighting. And really when it comes down to it, I have to agree with what my Israeli brother and father always say... you go fight them with your hands, we prefer guided rockets.
A nice qoute to sum up my opinion on the subject.

^^ and to you Stacy, good job at the kyu test. I honestly think you were one of our best new comers this season. Keep up the good spirit and cya at training.

I've always found the martial arts interesting. I took Tae Kwon Do for a year and it was great. BTW, I met you before. You're Tyler's room mate right?
