Martial Arts Trial

The other day, I was invited to a martial art trial by my cousin, "Full Contact Karate" class, it was fun. I wore my Kajukenbo suit.. but with my white belt..as a respect for the sensai, it actually means a challange..and it would be considered an insult to the sensai if I put on my original belt from kajukenbo!! Same works with any other martial arts by the way..



Now the cool thing was when the sensai started to teach his students and show them the moves with my help!! DAMN, it felt so good to have such a privilege, specially in the prescence of a high rank belts from the same martial art. He was impressed too, having the experience always works in these kind of situations =)





Next time inshallah, we will try the "Jeet kune Do" ...Bruce lee style, I cant wait..its gonna be awesome dude =)

6 unspectacular quirks abt myself!!

1*Its hard to make me feel yuck, even if Im eating..I could watch a complete show about bugs, or anything else could make you feel ecky..but if you want me to leave my food, or feel disgusted..just talk about somebody eating soap or let me smell it while Im eating..the same thing works with eating glass!!

********************

2*I have to have even numbers all the time, the T.V. volume, the radio in the car, when I set the microwave..etc

********************

3*I always take the second item on the shelves, in the super market..when I go shoping for clothes, I always take the second shirt from the same size, never take the first...

********************

4*Whatever happens, what ever it takes, no matter how important what you have at the moment....never ever EVER touch me while Im drinking water, if you wanna kill me touch me ..I choke directly =/

********************

"Now this really bug NoNoWa"

5*Whenever I take anything back, kitchen stuff, books, CDs, towels..etc I never put them back where they go, I just simply put them half meter away from thier original place..to lazy to do it xD

********************
6*When I think...I think in english, Do you!!!

======================

Now I know I already wrote six..but there is more where that comes from..

7* I cant tolerate somebody running next to my food while Im eating, or huffing anything like the couch pillows or something like that...

****************

8*If I watch a movie and the lights on it doesnt count as a movie, I actually feel the need to watch another movie with the lights off..so I can call it a night.

****************

9*I can smell "zhaiwys" cockroaches.

****************

10*I could since bug movments in the dark, and locate it, I actually sense lots of things other than bugs, but I choose to ignore it =/

****************

11*Its intersting thing to watch the Doctor stiching my elbow, or take blood, or give me injection..I find it educational, as a matter of fact, I inject my self with pain reliever when Im sick, hehe.

****************

12*Im writing number 12 just for the sake of even numbers, LoL.

So, since Hassooni is a little fighter by instinct, NoNoWa and I decided to enroll him in the same class I take which is Kajukenbo. Its a self defense class which includes martial art practice, street fighting techniques as well as how to use the nerve impulses of others to your advantage with some weapon work, and joint locks as well. Well...he will not learn all of this until he reaches the adult classes- at least not the killing techniques, but I will work on it :P

I took the pic above- yesterday whenever we went to enroll. He saw the sensai (not his 1st time) and he got a few chest punches and a nerve endurance test. I got my share, too, since I stopped for a while- mine was more of a punishment instead of a welcoming.

Today was his first training session and he impressed the sensai and me. El7amdillah I did good! He threw jabs very well and his kicks were accurate. He did a flip/kick combo which is a big thing for a kid of his age and his first class. I am proud! :D

The pics above and below, they were switching the punching mats. I felt really bad for the girl cuz she kept smiling at me like, "Please, stop him!" It's funny!

Here, Hussain is doing butterfly stretches. It was hilarious!! I wish I had a video just to show u the head stretches. He couldnt put his head up cuz he wanted to look at the trainer '3asub. And instead of doing head rotations like he was supposed to- he ended up "6ig erguba"!! LOL
Grabbing a drink. He made me happy by making his own way through the kids and taking care of himself, since he knows nobody there.
My Little Tiger!!!

Now enjoy this video of my little tiger in action!

Where should I go???

I always liked martial arts since I was a kid, and never really got commited to bodybuilding. and once in my life when I really dedicated myself to bodybuilding..I had my bike accident. Which stopped me from continuing my training..plus bodybuilding is boring!! While you learn a new thing everyday in martial arts..

My brother and my cousins lately, are going to the same gym, which is cool to be with somebody there, it helps the time to pass faster..they are encouraging me to go with them, and I kinda want a six pack abs muscles, and a little defining here and there..

NoNoWa was always against bodybuilding, first..because of the medications that guys take to get the right shape in a shorter time, second..she always says that I dont need it, I kinda have a footballer body, she always says that =)

For me, martial arts is somthing you learn, and it stays in you head, no matter how long you stop, its always there, and your reaction to your surroundings get sharper, and you are always allerted, I like that..

While body building, nice body, empty head..and eating like a horse xD, but it gives you a nice result in the end..the problem if you stop for a little while, all that you built up will be vanished in a short time!!

Martial art classes have a certain timings, and you have to attend, its an obligation!! While bodybuilding is a fixed time training, it doesnt matter when do you wanna go during your day..

Now comn, isn't that worth the boredom!!!???

In the end, they both have nice results...but

What is your opinion, which one do you think is worth it:

Martial arts or Bodybuilding?

..Update..

yeah baby, I got certified =)

========================================================

I finally got ranked to the advanced level of the third belt, it was yesterday, I actually started my test since 7.30 with nonstop cardio exercises un till 8.40 approximately, believe me..that is enough to strip out your soul from your body..then with only few seconds to catch my breath, the sensei gave his word to start the fight, for your info, in kajukenbo, you have to defend your self against more than one fighter, for me there were 6 guys around me, damn that was a BIT#H..I really didn’t feel like I did good, I wanted to do more, Im really good in the ground fight, unfortunately, I didn’t have the chance to show it, my brothers said I was good but really exhausted, NoNoWa watched the video, she told me the same, she was impressed with some moves, so she asked me to post it “hehe no way”..

The most important opinion was from the sansei, he told me that Im good at the techniques, katas, grabbling and ground fights..but my weakness is my fitness. The nice thing that I defend my self perfectly, not a single punch or kick got me..that was the whole concept of the test, said the sansei.



If you want to know little pit about it..enjoy reading the following..and get impressed..LoL

Kajukenbo is a hybrid martial art that combines karate, judo, jujutsu, kenpo, and kung fu. It was invented in 1947 in Oahu, Hawaii,

The name works in two ways: "ka" ("long life"), "ju" ("happiness"), "ken" ("fist"), "bo" ("style") or "ka" ("karate"), "ju" ("judo"/"jujutsu"), "ken" ("kenpo"), "bo" (Chinese and American kick boxing), leading to the art's philosophical meaning: "Through this fist style, one gains long life and happiness."

Training workouts emphasize cardio conditioning and functional strength. While individual schools may show variation, it would not be unusual to train with sandbags or boxing gloves. Advanced students generally spend some time without benefit of protective gear to condition themselves for honest combat.
There is a core of self-defense techniques at the heart of Kajukenbo, and most schools eschew impractical, flashy moves and acrobatics. Most kajukenbo curricula feature counter-attacks to punches, kicks, knives, sticks, guns, and grabs.


"If you put together the martial artist's knowledge of vital targets, how to strike, and the concentration of power combined with anger and rage at the thought of someone hurting your loved ones, the person can be a devastating fighting machine."

"Anyone can learn to kick and punch, but to teach them how to survive in a violent street situation, you have to develop their animal instinct," says Maschmeier.
