Long Journey
Posted On 08/07/2008 11:25:20 by Naiya_Lee
Well, I was back around Christmas, then found out a friend of mine passed away from an over dose. My grandfather died about 3 months later and I ended a one year relationship with someone because of my own weaknesses. Time has aged and changed me. I am now 28 years old, single and struggling to make ends meet with this life I've chosen.

The karate "kamae" or guard
Posted On 08/03/2008 22:02:32 by dandjurdjevic
In my considered view the best guard posture (kamae) for karate is one where you hold one hand in the same position as the lead hand in chudan uke (the standard karate chest level block), but at face height. The other hand is about in line with the elbow. There are variations on the heights of the arms, but not in the distance from the body. The fists should be turned - not fully over (palms up) but slightly angled in.
