Karate

Tae kwon do is the Korean version of karate. Neither is 'better' than the other. It will also depend upon what the student is looking for. Visit both dojo and see what you like and don't like about what you see.

Yes, Noah still attends ATA.

Karate House was created in 2007.

That will depend on you school and style of karate. There are different kata in every system. Typically it takes 15 to 20 kata to reach black belt, in addition to the other requirements.

In shotokan karate, the 9th kyu grade is orange belt, after the 8th kyu grade, red.

But this will vary according the the particular school of karate, some schools not using a red belt at all in their system.

In some styles the red belt indicates 9th or 10th Dan, which is as high as you can go.

While they are both martial arts and subscribe to many of the same philosophies, they differ in their primary focus. Karate focus is on striking and hitting. Ju jitsu concentrates on grappling.

I'm sure it has happened thousands of times. It is not a legal move in competition, but I'm sure accidents happen all the time.

Pinion is a type of gear. Do you mean Pinan, which would be pronounce pyung-ahn in the Korean styles? Most of the Okinawan styles teach the Pinan Kata, a set of five forms created by Anko Itosu to be taught in the schools. It means 'Peaceful Mind' in a literal translation, but there are others that believe it is refers to being confident and sure of ones' self.

9 years maybe depends how good you are because if your 12 you must do half belts or intermediates!

You don't 'finish' karate. It is a lifetime pursuit. There is always more to learn and experience. My teacher is 80 and continues to learn.

Zanshin, which means 'remaining mind'.

ski. i probably did not spell that right but thats how you say it

It depends on if you're looking for specific tournaments, or just background shots of styles, breaking, weapons styles, etc. You can usually get some good shots of both professional and other artists at Black Belt Magazine online,

http://www.blackbeltmag.com

They've been around for over 40 years, and they cover all styles, so there isn't much you can't find there. Copyright permission might be an issue if you want to use a picture though.

You can also find PA shots at the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) Karate sites, though you might have to look. If you want to see a good breaking shot, look at my bio page.

No, he actually never studied martial arts. And his English was actually very good, much better than what was seen in most of his roles. Pat was born and raised in the United States and worked as a comedian for many years before landing roles in a number of sitcoms and movies.

nothing is better, but some things are equal, like: running, video games and a ps3 and 4

i dont know im just a magic talking meat ball :-)

You bow. That's it.

Karate is very good for girls. Some of my best students are girls. They have good focus and learn well.

Karate does involve great spirituality and self control.

Not in the real martial arts. If that was the case, there would be very few black belts in the world! I've been training for ten years and there is no chance I could beat my sensei, and he is 79 years old!

Speed and mass combine to apply the necessary force. It also requires the mind to understand that pain does not necessarily mean damage.

And don't try it unless you have been trained!

In traditional Okinawa Karate, Dan levels 1 through 6 wear a black belt.

Dans 7 and 8 wear a red and white striped belt.

9 and 10 Dan Black Belts wear a solid red belt.
