AKs: Karate Girl

am she isnt american although that is an american team.... Team Straight Up.... she is from england her name is Chole Bruce and too me i see alot of flow in her form/kata .... cant rememba what style she does if its really tang so do or not but i thought it was taekwondo .... anyway she has great flexiblity

all forms of martial arts are not the same, some are about exerting power which alotta ppl refer to external arts (yang) and some are graceful and flowing which is referred to as internal arts (yin).... using the yin and the yang from zen teachings one would recognise that they both work and even better when one combines them it brings forth a balance like when ppl say opposites attract... a great example of this is Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto, many of u know bruce but not dan...dan was one of his best friends and greatest students (like training partners that is) but if u check it bruce was more yang and dan was more yin

i wouldnt wanna say your comments are stupid but i dont think it makes sense slandering caucasian ppl and puttin it like if all americans are caucasians... and no im not caucasian im a negro, black man, im not even from america, im from the caribbean, the island barbados so im definitely not bias... there are all types of corruption in the world of martial arts, in every country u could think of, and it has been happening throughout the ages jus that it has grown, america has the most publicity due to all the networks and communication mediums thats all.. in terms of being peaceful one would see that such peacefullness generates the power because a relax body is much more powerful due to its alertness, therefore that peacefullness still goes hand in hand with the power

lastly what she is doing is a demo kata which some ppl call Martial Arts Tricking.... where ppl put on a display it is not necessarily a demonstration of self defense (and martial arts is not all self defense either) but a demonstration of skill, agility, power, discipline, speed, focus etc... which are very vital aspects in martial arts.... another thing is martial arts is not about judging but about learning and grasping aspects from other disciplines, this goes on to the completion of mastery of martial arts be it judo, jeet kune do, choy li fut, wing chun, taekwondo, karate, ninjitsu, hapkido, gong fu, tai chi, kali/escrima, muay thai and the list goes on.... anyway have an open mind thats what its all about... mushin... means no mind which is translated open mind but dont let us judge ppl

Doesnt matter where she is from.

Someone that knows about Dan Inosanto. Great stick fighter he was (is).

Yes Chloe Bruce is a Britt and studies Tang Soo Do which is a Korean MA. Tang Soo Do and Taekwondo are cousin arts and are very similar. Tang Soo Do uses more hands and really emphasizes the side kick. I have studied both along with some other arts as well.

Good to see someone with some intelligents.

I'm in full agreement with your comments Budomushin, Of course I recall Karate in my youth, never could I hope to kick with such extension. Kata, as you will know is the practice of fighting/fending off imaginary opponent(s) coming at you from all directions.

way to tell it straight, this show stuff is great to look at and shows tremendous ability but isn't martial. There are numerous martial art "styles" out there but they all have a similarity find that thread and you can't go wrong. Also a lot of "martial arts" aren't martial arts anymore Judo, Aikido, Taekwando... still takes skill but the "martial" part has been removed and/or rules have been placed to protect both parties.

Her Kata's are well balanced and her movements are strong. I once asked a Japanese "Chef" I met what does Kata really mean? He replied: "Kata means Preparation for one's opponent".

Her HUsband is Lucky ... wide spread .. HEHHEHE

i'd like to try her in bed karate

I'm a martial artist since 13 years old, and what really martial arts are, is dicipline, philosophy, self defense, with minimal movement oyu have to defeat your oponent, no spending your whole energy doing fancy jumps or eevn pointless kicks.

In traditional martial arts you have to save energy to beat 20 oponents, and you must beat one with only one strike and traditional forms (katas in japanese) are intended to get that goal.
And i agree too that in e.u.a. they tend do make more impressive things maybe to feel that they are better or something, not only in martial arts but in many things of life.

(Sorry if my english is not good enoguh but i'm from a non english speaking country)

HOLY SHIT THATS SCARY!!! i mean this girl is like a fighter.. i be scared, i mean in bed she does you, not you her, scary :(!!!

That's true. They've got it all wrong in movies. Yeah it's impressive but it's not realistic.

You do have a point here, ok? I suggest that because many Marial Arts are refined here in America, in my experiences. This girl in the Clip has good spirit and she does move quite well.

It's not about kicking ass, stuff like this wins tournaments.

Anybody, regardless of race, who takes the martial arts seriously knows that it's about pushing your limits and conditioning the body so that you can train the mind. Also, anyone who takes it seriously knows that you learn how to fight so that you don't have to.

I'm missing the same things as you. What she is doing is making funny movements for entertainment.
It would be very interesting to see her doing some Kyok Pa (or whatever it is called in her special style).
I can't see why she try to kick off the balls of imagined giants. In Taekwondo you shouldn't kick above your own head.
However, this girl is stunningly flexible and doing really artistic exercises.
Probably she should get some lessons in Wushu to smooth the movements...

Good thing all of your attackers are shorter than you and you would be fully warmed up when they attack you.

In traditional TKD you have no limits except your capacity. True, all good targets are below the waist for incapacitation of an attacker, but to limit your techniques as a rule? I've never heard of it.

2nd Degree BB TKD

This girl has some great kicking skills. Some of the best I have ever seen. Lame posters save the hate for someone else. This girl could take your lunch money and make you cry. Go figure.

Therefore, these losers are complaining. They probably cant even kick a football.

step 1: blind your opponent with your massive, shiny forehead
step 2: scream like youre in giving-birth-mode 24/7
step 3: give youre opponent a drop-kick to the balls

dont think this chick was ever in need of martial-arts to defend herself :P

agreed

i practice tae kwon do and i agree with you. the ultimate goal is to win a fight before starting it. to put down your sword. also it strengthens the mind and spirit.
this girl had no grace whatsoever and all emphasis on power. still probably could not kick someones ass.

Why every time when I see a video about kung fu or martial art etc.. people are talking about racist?? may be the white ass can perform better than the Chinese. may be the Chinese can do better in boxing. so who knows who is better. why can you guys enjoy the video.

screaming, being loud, force, style, and I guess show. This sin't ballet. It's not the performers fault if they are being show-offs, because the showoffs win. period,

if i were her bf i wont cheat on her..... lol

Not ALL Americans. SOme, yes,many, yes, but not all.

she's so stressed made it funny

not that bad though

She didn't even break piece of wood

That's what you are implying with your comment. Also, that's awfully presumptuous to say that all caucasian martial artists are like that. It is simply not true. Many of the places that teach MA in America are guilty of it, yes, but not all. Also, most of those same "schools" are taught by non-caucasians, so it is not the student's fault, but the master's. You can only learn what you are taught.

Did you all notice that she can only lift her right leg?
Other than that, it wasn't as graceful as it should be.
She has a tremendous amount of flexibility, but it has no point...
What's all the "Straight-Up" kicking for ?
I don't think there will be anybody attacking you from above.


Please note: I am a Martial artist and I only learn it for self-defense and health. My point of view may be different from those who learn for other reasons.

Amen brother!!

i agree with the over emphasis on the power in her performance I never took martial arts but I have eyes and that was obvious flow looks better but did you have to draw all americans into this why can't people like you and there are alot of people on metacafe who like you have defaulted to lumping all americans into what ever stupid thing you see, just keep things case specific. Like just leave it at the too much power bit.

Question, caucasian means american? You can't tell what her accent is. She could be canadian, european, anything. Just because someone is white doesn't mean that they are an american...or a show-off.

However, i do agree with you about the grace and flow thing. Her movements were over the top.

every competition video i watch, caucasians always have to steal the show. they do martial arts in order to gain attention and money. that's why there are sooooo many TKD and Karate schools with caucasian sensei's and stuff. it's as if once they become even a 1st degree black belt, they open a school right away. it seems that in America, everything's about money money money and money...

but there are the individuals who do martial arts for the exercise and for their soul. those are the martial artist that i can really respect.

Your're right. We ONLY do martial arts for ATTENTION AND MONEY. Those are the ONLY reasons we have for doing martial arts. *rolling eyes* *loud sigh*

Listen to me: YOU ARE A MORON.

The reason why there are so many caucasian senseis is because there are more caucasians in America. Dipshit. It's not because they just want money! You DO have to make money to KEEP a school open and running of course, so, yes, they do expect you to pay for the lessons. Don't sign up if you don't want to pay for the lessons.

My guess is that you have had 2 senseis: 1 asian and 1 caucasian. The caucasian wanted to get paid and the asian said: "It okay Chen, you pay later."
Right? I thought so! Needle dick!

You tell em!

Grow up

you couldn't hear shit in that place

brit for sure
