Hey, I've been lurking here for awhile and decided it was time to join the forum. I have a basis in jui-jit but am currently training Kyokushin. I hope to start training jui-jitsu again in a couple of months.

Hello.
Kyokushin rocks! :) I quit though, the katas and deep stances were killing my knees, I have a knee problem. In jiujitsu I can work around it, in kyoukushin I can't performs certain movements, which is kind of sad, it's a great style.
Welcome to the forums brother.
Yes yes. Welcome uhm...here...again. Btw it is a nice style. Good to have you!
Its jiu jitsu not jui jitsu but good luck.Quote:

Yep. What made me quit was a partially torn tendon in my knee.. You know when you are deep in a stance and is supposed to keep perfect form while moving from stance to stance, that hurts.. And when you are supposed to stand on line and throw up a left mawashi, right mawashi, left.. that pivot killed my knee, the reason I messed it up in the first place. But sparring is great, you develop heavy lowkicks, insane kicks all over, and it's a killer style! :) "Insane" would be the correct description of the conditioning, yes, lol! :D Andy Hug was my hero, and still is! :)
And Jonathan catches the spelling error lol. Good shit bro, you'll catch me soon lol.Quote:
