well I don't get annoyed but i hate rude kids who has an attitude It started on Friday about 3 weeks ago I was helping one of the instructor she was a 2nd degree black belt and she was explaining to all the beginner the procedure of the test and one of the student was so rude he was having an attitude during class he was rude to his fellow kids like he knows every thing and when the instructor was explaining on how to put the belt he just throw the belt like that's rude and he said he has no respect for his mom at the end of the class i told the instructor i'm helping with that we should tell to the head instructor that he was rude

Should a Karateka know other Martial Arts?
ShotokanMaster replied to Shotokannon's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
A Karateka should know other Martial Arts because you can benefit from it like for Example My Sifu Jesus Flores is a 10 degree Black Belt in American Kenpo Karate not only That he takes Filipino Martial Arts and his a 3rd Degree BLack belt in FMA and also his a Blue Belt in Juijutsu Well for me I took Taekwondo and I was a yellow belt then My Best Friend whose taking Eskrima thought me Eskrima Taichi and Chi Gung then I took Shotokan I was a high Orane then know im taking American Kenpo and i a green belt so its fun to take other Martial arts because you can have many Options when you get in trouble or if he provokes ya to fight -
T-shirt in place of gi top?
ShotokanMaster replied to Lupin1's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
I would choose Gi over T shirt because you can see all the patches and your award patches on the Gi and I cant wait to have the red Gi its gonna be awesome in order to have the red gi you have to help teach kid at lease 100 times a week thats like in 4 years depending when you help because im a member of the swat team in my karate studio we only used T shirt on the summer which is cool i like wearing T shirt in the summer -
I'm loyal to my instructor I have a lot of respect for him and his like a friend a brother to me and when he teach he gives 100$ on it he would give his knowledge to his student when he teaches and when he teach he give it step by step and by detail its like Poetry in Motion and i know my instructor is loyal to me to he trust me 100 and i would give it my all

a weird pet peeve I have about martial arts
ShotokanMaster replied to chrissyp's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
I have a instructor whose a 10 degree i called him Sifu you dont have to call him grand master or master if you dont want to but since my sifu deserves it i call im GM or senior grandmaster or just Sifu -
when I took Shotokan we used oss/osu its out of respect or it can be greeting its a okinawan style of karate but im taking american kenpo karate we dont used osu or oss anymore we used a salute or salutation

In my Opinion you can have your own studio if your really ready to teach and you have the ok of the head instructor and make sure your school runs smoothly and you have to know your foundation and what to teach the class like the basic katas, technique or sets and make sure you got the money to run your studio aos you have to make your school fun too so y'all can have a fun time and learning in karate
