That's cool. I used to take Kickboxing when I was younger, but I quit later on and moved onto Karate.

I have been told god things about kickboxing, I have never really thought about trying it, I am perfectly happy with Shotokan Karate. I will in the near future be taking up some other styles and martial arts, you can't knock it until you have tried it!

The reason I quit Kickboxing is that my teacher gave up on me. He just put me on the bag and taught everyone else all the stuff. I got fed up with it.

Teachers that focus all their attention on other students are a waste of time and are just in it for the money that they can get. At one of the clubs that I used to train at(SHOTOKAN).The teacher was asking kids questions and handing brown belts to everyone.I thought about why????There was a reason which he stated over the phone.'Its my club and I will do what I want'.
Not Good enough.I quit and went back to my first club which has now evolved into a school.Its the best decision that I have ever made!
C Ya!

No Kidding! My teacher invited me to the Advanced Class. I thought I was getting good. I asked him why I was just on the bag. He said "well, you haven't paid for this class!" after he said, don't pay, you're invited. I quit right on the spot. I like my new teacher. He actually brings some sport into Karate.

IMHO, with the limited experience I have, tournament and street/barroom fighting are on different levels of mental, emotional and physical challenges. When tournament fighting, I'm not as concerned with my personal safety as in a street/bar situation, which requires me to exert a higher degree of self-defense, contrary to tournament fighting in which my opponent is looking to score points rather than teeth or my wallet or significant other. I try to use profeesionalism, control and discipline in the honorable martial arts competition arena, in the streets, pull the stops..  However, my foremost best move is not to FIGHT
