good luck. that is really cool that you are going to become a police though too!

nice post.

we show the kids in our school something simple like a punch like 50 times let alone a side/ roundhouse. i am almost a blue belt and still don't have them perfect..they are just supposed to get better.

tae kwon do--both

we were going to call ours that, but we changed our mind..

just don't get nervous and do what ya know. good luck. how many tournaments have you been to? just wondering.

i hate those nights. i am the highest colored belt at the school now and i feel like some of the lower belts are watching me and i hate it when i am not doing things how they should be done, or when i don't have balance.

mine do it too, only it is my wrists' and my knee's and ankles. i guess it's normal b/c most people in a ma that i know have it

Says who? Wushu isn't TKD ya know. I always thought the chinese arts were supposed to promote health, which doesn't include ruined joints. you don't have to be so mean. jeez. i was just saying that b/c they probally get hurt learning that stuff and taking falls. my bad.

we do baisai too, though. and our instructor isn't from a karate backround.

i don't get it...

welcome

we mostly do the same thing KoreanTiger, minus all of the weapon forms. we only have people doing bo and sai so far. although, our instructor allows us to make our own up for competing.

we don't bow when we enter our school, we bow when we enter and exit the mat.

just keep practicing on it. hold onto a wall and do it faster and more powerful. when you feel comfortable there then don't use the wall.

i liked american wedding too. it was funny.

good. at least it isn't there anymore.

i will! i like reading things.

welcome!

white belt to oarnge belt--1 month oarnge to blue--2 months blue to 1st gup--3 months 1st gup to black--3 months or so..

welcome

well.. girls change there mind alot, so it depends on out mood and what we feel like at the time

i love watching that sort of things. it is soo cool. it amazes me again everytime i see it. just think of how bad those kids joints and things will be when they hit like 40 though! they will be tore up.

i am not a black belt yet(almost halfway!!) but i will be eager to learn after i finally get mine because they learn so many new things such as forms and diff. stuff. i can't wait! alot of people get burnt out around red-brown belt( tae kwon do belt system) and most of them have told me that they got all pumped up again after they got their black belt.

i have a dog named Bentley who is mostly yellow lab and something else. and i have a siamese cat named sneeker b/c she always sneek into the house. then she had kittens and we kept 2 of them, Ugly and Stripes.
