only time I ever broke someone's arm was in competition. this is a great video, the instructors need some practice on their throwing techniques (my background is Judo first Ju-Jitsu Second) but it reminds me of Wally Jay's Dance of pain. All the cool little tricks.

Well. I'm a beginner. And well I do realize how little pressure is needed. Therefore I hold back :P I'm scared to put on too much pressure as I know I'll break his arm/leg etc

heheheheh never.... Senior students know each other well and know each other limits. It's more likely that senior belts will be hurt by beginners as beginners don't realize how little pressure is needed to inflict pain or break something. Plus beginners often lose their balance when someone reacts to pain and Uke gets hurt.

Dear oh dear. I'm sure it all sounds unrealistic but not all techniques are 100% waterproof. Ju Jitsu is also about adaptation. Everything depends on everything. Having a good sensei is very important. One that knows the why's and what and how's. Not one that says: KICK! and then doesn't explain why it's effective.

LeBadman (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)

I don't agree. You can take on both tall and small opponents. It all depends. Adaptation. Improvisation.

dear shogundidier69 I just hope you're not an english teacher.

Tang Soo Do IIRC is kind of a parent art, much the same as JuJitsu. It's a fairly rounded art but does focus mainly on strikes. From what I've seen it is fairly similar to Kung Fu in many ways and similar to JuJitsu in others. :) As fzinck says though, it is the instructor that is the most important factor, the student is the second and the art is the third. :)

Good question, I'm not familiar with it. Most clubs will allow you to drop in and have a look at a class and see if it appeals to you. If you're interested in martial arts and its the only one available, try it! You might enjoy it. The instructor will break or make a class so be sure you visit first. Trust your intuition.
