Forsaken1 Stranger Registered: 10/21/08 Posts: 2 Loc: Los Angeles	Hmmm...number one rule of martial arts...well, to my experience and knowledge... ...control what those around you know to the best of your ability. Do not appear trained out of battle, only confident. Do not appear adept inside of battle, so long as you are. A fighter who can make an opponent see gaps and mistakes where they simply do not exist will recieve more openings than one who shows his full ability.

Ames Veteran Registered: 05/29/05 Posts: 1117	-Get beaten or tapped out on a regular basis (during training!). It keeps you honest. -If you're not getting beaten or tapped out regularly, find a place where you will. -Always remember that, no matter how hard you train, all it takes is a coward with a gun to beat you. --Chris Edited by Ames (11/23/08 05:10 PM) _________________________ "Seek not to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; seek what they sought." --Basho
