[quote author=curious_aardvark link=1130706953/20#28 date=1132159692]sofa george - there's a form of judo that uses kata ?

How's that going to work - used to do judo as a kid and it's pretty much a hands on system no strikes, kicks (as such) etc. Not sure what you'd be practicing.
But it would certainly be interesting to see.

Yes, kata are integral to gaining high level judo ranking. You can see a listing of the forms at

http://judoinfo.com/katamenu.htm

It is a Catch 22. You can't advance beyond 1st dan black belt without studying the forms... and most serious fighters aren't interested in studying the forms.

If the fast life kills you - you'll have no regret

DTB: choose door made from two thin boards and filled with woodchip substance. You can actually kick through these if you are determined enough Shocked

. Otherwise, kick around the lock repeatedly and hope for best Wink

SofaGeorge: It is not a catch 22, it is a question if a being more than 1st level black belt is the same as being a serious fighter for you. For me - no.

And yes, master of The Way of The Razor Gland is comin' on us with his anvil in pouch of his mighty sling Cheesy

This is fact and indisputable. But that doesn't meant that they are integral to a persons development and growth as a fighter. It is the classic "knowledge/power" mixture, and not knowing enough of one will eventually hit you in the back of the head
