i think...exactly...it is still a matter of opinion. Just as is everything I have said about my teacher in a defense.

It should teach you to be aware....Are we aware all the time...no...but should we be...thats a matter of opinion Im afraid.

Thats good to hear, I always love to hear stories of martial artists starting out, because alot of times the practitioners dont stay around that long after they start, I hope you have a safe and beautiful journey.

His training method is this particular part was to show me the line of "chaos". Step one your drop your belt, step two your bend down to get your belt, step three, you should have always been looking...this was a way that he explained it to me as well, but also he told me that I should not have dropped my belt, and this would serve as a disciplinary action, because he knew that there was not another way he could discipline me. He could suspend me from class, but I go to four other classes. he could make me do push ups but yet I would enjoy them more than anything. So. if you had a student that could not be disciplined in any of your ways, what would you do?

A waiver can only do so much. Even with a waiver signed, lawsuits can still ensue, and can still be won. Especially in cases of negligence, and in a case like this, where the incident is cleary not an accident in training. How can it be proven that it was not an accidental training incident?

Oh nice, sounds good. How do you like the style, does it seem to be something that you can soak in really well?

Hmmm I will learn what ever I can be taught...And I am already a practiconer of kobudo. Been one for quite some time, I just want to know what everyone elses point of view on Kobudo and what the name means.

Nice to meet you, how long have you been a practitioner?

Thanks white owl.

True...but which one do you prefer is another way of me asking it. If you go and up shout Hamahiga no Tuifa...are you going to please the jap judges or the okinawan judges? Thats a big difference if your competing, alot of judges are picky over that..I know I am. If I hear tonfa they wont get as high a grade. I prefer Tunqua or Tuifa. Because it shows the heritage that the chinese left in the ryu kyu islands.

IN that sense instead of becoming a kobudoka you become in an example a Practitioner of Saijutsu

Purple Heart isn't so bad either, I have a purple heart Eiku and I love the weight and the density. Not sure how good it would hold up, because its so beautiful I dont let it come into contact with anything else.

I think So as well. Thats why when learning the bo, they make you return to the base dynamics and mechanics of a punch.
