And these are black belts?

not a big fan of karate....

Thats because you are undisciplined and a post whore.

And its Shorin Ryu

Grand Master Ansei Ueshiro must be turning in his grave.

that does look sad, but I bet everyone of those fat guys can kick your ass with one hand behind their back

Grappling and brazilian jiujitsu are the best :thumbsup (IMHO)

haha, karate sucks

Black belt in Beer gut.

try searching for some real karate like KYOKUSHIN, SEIDO KAI, or SEIWAKAI...

ha-ha... teh Boy Alley technique – Grab the crotch and keep holding on till they give up.

what would you know about it, metro? Unless pedicure became a martial art sport you should shut the fuck up!!!

Ya and there's a lot more martial arts that are better than karate.
karate = joke

If there's more than one overweight blackbelt at the place you are training at, I'd consider something else. Seems like karate always has a ton of fat blackbelts.

I doubt it. Karate isn't trained against a fully resisting opponent. I took it for years as a kid, worthless shit mostly.

I'm a black belt in Karate and I admit that most of it is useless. Its somewhat good to get in shape AT FIRSt... but when you hit the higher belts, you are allowed to get lazy.

Proof is in the thousands of black belts with beer bellies

I know that kata. I must have done that kata 5 thosand times at least. My dad made me work on that form daily for years. To this very day I hate kata's and don't understand thier value.

Who among us here already tried Chinese Kung Fu?

I'd beat the crap out of any of those guys :1orglaugh
