I meant go back to class , not fight anyone

take the kid back and have him face his fears

what are your predictions

ok , what happened to the kid since his discipline ? where is he does he still train at that dojo ? whats he like as a person since the incident ? did he learn from it ? does he resent martiaal arts ?

yeah you also probably didn't get out of line like some kids do , I seen a kid get nailed in the chest hard with a tennis ball for horsing around , from there on he started horsing around only after class , that's a life lesson you play when your not supposed to and will get checked " your gonna have to mine someone someday " its better to learn that at a young age then when older.

isn't that the way it was done before ?

that's discipline , yeah of course as parents we don't like it , but that's something we all have to deal with especially in the M.A. ( your gonna get hit in way or another ) its part of the learning experience.

is anyone here speaking from experience ? has any of you picked up a book and try to learn from it ?

id say do both if you can , I got a black belt in kenpo , and now take shito ryu , so I would say for me my journey just got a bit interesting.

can a person trained in one martial art ( black belt ) learn another just from books ?

what is the connection between yoga and karate or martial arts in general ?

who here incoparates yoga in there martiak arts

has anybody here took the shito ryu black belt test ? if so what does it consist of ?
