welcome.

i haven't even trained with one weapon yet, thinking about a bo, but i saw a few people competing with some of those weapons. they were good and won b/c everyone else had the normal and they were flashy.

no, i haven't seen it. but do any of you all watch american choppers on the discovery channel? i love that show!!

hey. welsome and it's about time you introducted yourself! well, have fun on here.

there is a tournament coming this weekend and i can watch the other people in my division is they do weapons. good idea.

she is teaching me the basic moves, how to spin and do things like that but not a whole form!

i do a lot of things. i play soccer read listen to music draw and definately spend time with my family friends other MA and my boyfriend!

lol. thanks for all the posts guys. if i get a bo now i have to make up my own competition form and do you have any idea's on that?

i already help other people in my classes everyone helps each other but STORM team is just a step up the ladder for people who like helping. my school is really small though so we don't have SWAT team or anything.

lol. i will name my bo, or any other weapon when i get it. so, do you like the graphite bo? can you do flying side kicks and such on it without it snapping?

yeah. we only have STORM team and it is like for the adults, or the more responsible kids. there are only 2 kids on it actually. everyone else is a teen ager or an adult. i think i really want to be on it. i am only an oarnge belt and i think that it is a very good oppertunity for someone of low rank. i am the only one in my rank that will be able to be on it i think.

are there any other martial art schools in your town? and if so, couldn't you try one of them until you find a wushu school or something? you might like one of them as well?

hmm. yea, my instructor told me that people become one with their weapons and sometimes even name them. does any of your weapons have names?

what is a kata? b/c i don't take karate. is it a form? just wondering

we only have 1 bathrooms which is also the changing area so i sometimes wear my pants home when i have to get out if there and it is getting late and someone elseis in the changing room. we also ruin in ot pants after sparring class on friday's.

i don't know anything about the contact on soft or hard things, but if you don't turn your bottom foot while doing a side kick or a roundhouse then you have a good chance in hurting your knee and possible pulling your ACL.

is it that hard? i sometimes do on accident. maybe my spoons are cheap?

my instructor is going to teach me it. she is good with hers. i am allowed to use one whenever i want, well after i buy it. i was learning how to spin one the other day. it was fun. so, out of all the bo's you have used, which type did you like the best? also, has anyone used a graphite one? they have some in the century magazine that goes into 2 pieces, is that any good? and what is the average price of a good one and what is the max that you would pay for one?

i was wondering if you school's have STORM team's there? my instructor asked me if i wanted to be in it tonight and i do REALLY bad, just because i love helping other people and it reminds me of the long way i have come and the long way i still have to go. what kind of other team's do your school's have? STORM team means S-special T-team O-of R-role M-models just in case you didn't know. well, thanks!

why does he fight? do you mean that he fights like in sparring or in bar fights, etc? if he is fighting outside of sparring he should grow up a little and be a more resposible martial artist. and if he is sparring he shoud NOT quit. he should train harder and work on his moves, endurance, and other things that he has problems with. help him out, like, say "hey want to work on moves, or spar..." or something of the sort!

does anyone here use a bo staff, and if so, at what level or belt did you start using it? i am almost a green belt in tkd and i am thinking about buying a bo for tournament competition and things. which type would be beast also?

no, i am in tae kwon do, but i don't diet. tae kwon do alone should help you lose it. but my mom was on the weight watchers diet for a while and it helped her ALOT! good luch with your diet though and i hope you lose the weight that you want to get rid of!

no, i can't say that i have, but is it good? have you been there before? what is it like?

all of those are good ideas. there aren't really anymore to list. our school is Indiana Academy of Martial Arts.

i think i am one who doesn't ..
