Well done Zach...well done!! You should be very proud of yourself!!

I concur!!

Great interviews lowereastside and Nidan Melbourne!! Thank you for all that you do to contribute to KF and its members across the board. Both knowledgeable in the MA, in that, both passionate about thier art!!

Amen to that Bob. As with most things in life, it's about achieving a good balance. K. I concur!!

Check out the CHIEFS!! Good luck with the Broncos and Peyton, but I think the Chiefs might still win that one. GO CHIEFS!! My boys got smashed by the Saints!!

Yes, Happy Veterans Day...belated!!

Speak with the parents!! Have the child in attendance with them during this conference. Then, emphasize what's expected of them, especially the child in question. Let them all know what the consequences will be if your expectations aren't meet. To learn the MA effectively, the student must take it serious and not be lacadaisical. And if the student can't follow your expectations, then show said student where the exit door is. Can lead the horse to water, but, we can't force the horse to drink the water. A MA student has to want to do it, and in that, that can be a tricky thing to learn, including said instructors. I don't need any student that just doesn't care, and in that, my patience does have it's limits. Good luck!!

YES!!

I've not heard of him either, but we all live in a big world.

My favorite drills involves my partner moving in and out and to either sides and so on and so forth with the pads in no particular way. Why? In real life, our opponents don't always, if at all, move any perscribed manner; they just move. This drill makes one think because not always is said target(s) within rangeable abilities. This drill also forces one to also drill the many phases of Koshi. Koshi is more than "hips", Koshi involves using your whole body in a coordinated manner to generate and transfer power, and to assist mobility. MOVE THE TARGETS!! Make them work for the targets in an effective manner.

Solid OP, very solid!! Over the many, many years, I've experienced these wonderful moments like you've described with my own Dai-Soke an untold amount of times because that was his way. At times, he'd call them a "test" and at other times he'd call them a "rememberance", and still, at other times he'd call them a "visit". Thank you for your post!!

Solid post!!

Good luck, have fun, and blitz to no end. Let us know how it goes!!

Solid post across the board, and in that, I wholeheartedly concur!!

I concur!!

While many noted great MA masters of yesterday, and possibly today, have passed away while on the floor of their choice, I do not wish to end my MA journey while on said floor because it's not that I don't love the MA, I do, it's just that I love my God and my family much more, and sometimes, the MA limits those cherished moments. It's the choice of the MAist and not the choice of other MAists and the like, imho!!

I concur with Brian!!

I wholeheartedly concur with every member here...the livestream was a pleasure to be part of across the board. Thank you all and thank you Patrick your leadership, and I'd like to bow to everyone here at KF that makes this community the power that it is. Now onto 1 Million posts!!

Baseball then football then basketball, and in that order!! I love other sports as well, like, golf and X-Games!!

Experiment 3 is the same as 2 except that the training was in how to walk. (Not clear to me whether this was the same group of women from exp 2) Then finally from the conclusion: I've not had a chance to trawl through all 24 pages of results yet but I thought the above would be interesting at least. Very solid post!!

I've no opinion one way or another concerning GKR.
