i'm a soph and my classes are pretty cool except for geometry, but that class is supposed to suck. it's cool. this year is going good i guess.

no, i'm usually pretty good. seems like i often hurt myself before tournaments

welcome

my proudest moments include: testing for my first new belt(yellow) winning my first trophy(in forms, it was 1st place) going to nationals and winning 2nd in sparring. also, getting on the STORM team was a proud moment. but the proudest moments happened to me definately at nationals..or when an instructor from another school told my instructor how good i was and how respectful and willing to help. i think i was proud then becuase she was proud though.

i would use my high-tech lazer to slice their heads off and do a little lazer surgery. just kidding. probally a phone to call 911 with. or maybe like a ..broom? not a knife though becuase i could hard myself with that.

we usually listen to pop, or techno. it gets everyone in the mood to spar and bounce around.

welcome

my instructor is there as well as blackbelts helping me but she wants me to make my own form up

no, i don't watch it and have never heard of it.

get in close as renketsu said and use your hands alot. also, switch it up with combo's and different things. block your head...and everything else too!

i just got a bo staff, it's my baby, and am a colored belt and i don't have to do a form with it yet so i was wondering what techniques would be cool and interesting to do in a form b/c i have to make my own up. also, explain how to do it if you can please. thanks..and have any of you ever made up your own weapons form, or reg. form? just curious.

i just wash mine in the washer and dry it in the dryer. i don't wash it after every class b/c i would have to wash it nearly everyday.

yeah. in the competitions that i have been to recently no one has punched all that much, but i score a lot on punches. also, i agree with the no punch to the face rule--it makes sure no one is too badly injured.

welcome.

wow! i own a red hologram bo staff with crome ends. it's sweet. i just got it! that is it though.

depends on the rank testing for. colored belts only have to do 1 form until their blue belt test in which they have to do at least 5 and then black belts have to do like 3 or 4 until they test for a new degree, then they have to do all of them. we also spar and do self-defense. we have approx. 5 words each test to learn.

umm, yea, it was...shocking

yeah. i didn't see them break though. just weapons and forms.

i like watching that. it is cool. i actually went to onw of the tournaments this year. it was awesome!

welcome
