Turnips? Starting this semester with a cold. Had really been looking forward to today’s club dojo session - it’s been so long - but it seems the virus my toddlers have had caught me too. Soon though. Soon. Always a bit nervous going back for the first session after summer, really don’t like missing the first one... Lol sorry, it was a lame joke Swedes and turnips are both vegetables Anyway, I'm glad you are enjoying your training! Osu I see Fun to learn a new word, being an English teacher in a public school here in Sweden I’m always looking to expand my vocabulary For a bit of useless trivia, in England, the vegetable that most people call a turnip is actually not a turnip but a swede, which is part of the beet family along with beetroot. Which reminds me. The thing many know as spinach is actually not spinach at all but the young leaves of the beet. So we eat the roots of the beet and call it beetroot, and we eat the leaves of the beet and call it, spinach. A particularly large kind of beet is the swede which we call, turnip, while an actual turnip is fairly small and often mistaken for white radish. Useless veg trivia I know, but in my defence, I never started it lol. I mentioned that a particularly large variety of beet is called the swede, which most call a turnip. The swede has another colloquial name in the southwest of England. That is the wurzel. A large rather bland variety of which is rarely consumed by humans but is often fed to livestock. This is the mangold wurzel, which has nothing to do with mangolds, but does lend itself conveniently to the name of a cheesy pop/rock tribute band that likes the famous band from the 70s, that is the mangled wurzels, tribute of course to The Wurzels. Although some might say calling a wurzels tribute band the mangled wurzels is in slightly bad taste, considering that the founder of the original wurzels band, Adge Cutler, was tragically killed early in his career in a car accident. Sorry. Massive tangent of veg related tenuous trivia there OMG What have I done lol

I like Turnips better

Train kihon and kata But you cannot train proper application of techniques without a live resisting opponent

Back to white belt you go But with your prior exp you should progress quite well

Pretty sure it's Osu

Why put yoga as a martial arts style in your sig

Hi all sorry if this topics been covered already What's the silliest or worst technique you have been taught in your martial arts career? I think one of mine had to be when I was training in pseudo ninjutsu, when the instructor made us tie our shoes together to create a pair of makeshift nunchaku in order to brain our aggressors lol Has anybody else been shown any crappy techniques that would likely not work in reality? Cheers

I have been training in MA for 21 years , but last trained full time at a dojo ten years ago after my judo school closed down. Since then I have been training at home or at various different clubs in various different styles trying to find the right "fit". Weirdly its been difficult for me to garner motivation and stick with a club...Its almost like I have lost interest, but as MA has always been a huge part of my life and identity Im driven to continue looking. Anyway, I'm starting Kyokushin again on Monday so hopefully this time I will stick with it and settle back into a proper training routine Cheers

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Hi everybody my names Luke from Perth Western Australia I have been lurking for a while now and have finally gotten motivated to introduce myself lol I have been involved in various styles of MA for the past 21 years (on and off!) but have spent the majority of my time training in Judo, Aikijutsu, Goju Ryu, Ninjutsu/Japanese Jujutsu and now more recently Kyokushin. Anyway, great to have found this forum, and I'm looking forward to hopefully interacting with you guys/gals in the near future! Cheers!
