We also practice the Sente exercises. I did find a pretty good description of each of them at suncoastkarate.com (This is a great web site). I read through them and the description appears pretty much the same as the way I have been taught.

I love to see all the pictures of Grandmaster Trias and the Chief Instructors. Mr Scovill posted some great ones today. I would really love to see some video of past Kumite. Supposedly there is some around, but I've yet to see any.

I saw an episode last week that was an American Green Beret against a Russian special force (can't remember the exact title), but the Russian special force won. Both seemed extremely well trained, and deadly. What stands out to me was the training...

- Hey Brian. I've not started training as yet but will start soon enough. I do stretch everyday though. Sometimes I do some shadow boxing at home.
In Kickboxing, we don't really have Katas like Karate/TKD/Kung Fu but my instructor (he is a Wushu guy) used to teach us Kung Fu Katas just to make training more interesting.
The rules, are very similar to Karate except that we use knees and elbow strikes as well and punches to the face are allowed. When we spar, it's usually 3 two minute rounds. We don't really count on basis of points but who gets hurt more lol.
Thanks for liking my music btw.

- Hey Brian. How's the training coming?
Any improvement in your flexibility?

Good luck.
