lol.

ouch. i'm glad i don't study Muay Thai! well. i hope that after a while it won't hurt anymore. you should get used to it after taking a lot of it. good luck!

interesting...i think?

interesting

skipping is fun and i think that it will keep you light on your feet and able to move easier as Tombstone said.

jackie chan--he's funny. but i like my instructor just fine.

it depends on who the person is and how well they react to things. no martial artist will be a good street fighter until they can react without thinking.

what type of things do you all do at your promo tests? what breaks, etc? also, how is it ran? j/w. first we say the pledge, then we warm up and some people stand up while others sit down. then we do our fundamentals, forms, self-defense and one-steps. next is terminology, sparring, and finally breaking.

white through gold talkes 1 month each oarnge through red takes 2 months each and brown to black takes 3 months each i think. that is if you know your material and are ready to test.

good luck with you search. i hope you find the right one for you. that is what i did but fortunately the right one was the very first one i went to. make sure you like the instructor a lot!

there is someone for everyone. jeez. looks aren't supposed to matter anyways? but i guess they really do. you're probally not ugle anyways and if you are you can still be attracted to girls..unless you swing the other way of course.

c-ya.

50$ a month and i practice tae kwon do. it is a very small town and school, about 45-50 students

no, none of my other classmates are here...that i know of.

none! i'd get killed.

glad you stopped where you did FlailingLimbs! might have gotton a little crazy?

i am not in karate but i do practice tae kwon do. we use low stances and we kick most of the time. it depends on our level at how we spar. mostly full contact though.

cool, cool. i think any kind of team weather it be STORM, SWAT, or whatever else that they are assets to a MA school. and thursday i got to help my instructor with the early(childrens) class and it was my first time. i loved it and i got instructor time!

i was just wondering how many teenagers are using karateforums.

my bf always say he's scared i'll hurt him and stuff.it gets annoying. i wish some1 new would join my tkd school that i liked!

i think that if someone gets a new belt and has worked there but off then it is just fine telling people that they got a new belt. i am very proud of myslef when i get a new belt and i feel like i should tell people. it is important to me when i get closer to my black belt and i think that other people should share the exctments with me.

ok. i will try that tommarker and monkeygirl. thanks for the suggestions!

BKJ1216 wrote a post asking if girls like guys in karate(martial arts) and i was wondering if guys like girls that are in a martial art? or are they intiminated or how they feal about it?
