^ Sounds good but I would have a doc check it out if you haven't already, thats what their there for after all.

What I think of mediocre blackbelts? I don't wanna be one Sorry, I had to say it.

 

Ditto

A nice remorial.

Splinter - it has to be

Are you small and hairy, because that would explain it?

mmmm, I love that time of night just before you go to sleep where you are totally relaxed, normally it comes after the stage where you think up loads of hair brained schemes..

Don't jump - at all if possible, I know it sounds obvious but there it is all the same.

 

Its not the kind of injury you want to mess with, unless your fond of the old "sick pains".

Hmm, im aragorn incidentaly

 

..the king of course

Also bear in mind that atape would be better than a McDojo.

Someone probably plugged their lap top straight into the power plant to play doom 3 , or tripped and pulled a plug or something.

 

It does set a bad precedant that one problem could cause so much trouble however. Could give terror groupps some ideas, lets hope they find a way to proof the system against such incidents in the future.

Valithor, When do kids start a school year in Australia?

 

School isn't that frightening monkeygirl (esp: for a BB:) )

 

"best of luck to you in your new environment. don't feel to bad, i've been in school for 12 years and i still sleep in late and forget my classes"

 

me too

wooow, four months, have you got your like 15th dan yet yet, cos you could probably kill me with like two fingers...like...

 

I would go with diagonal aswell, it feels more powerfull so it probably is.

 

To para-phrase Bruce-Lee; "The best way to kick better is to kick more."

I would dis-agree with the wrist grabbing instead of thumb grabbing, the wrists have alot more bend in them so the pull down would be no-where near as effective. My instructor showed me this last lesson as it happens and he got alot more torque when grabbing the thumbs. The shuto to the neck and the pull into the knee for the nukite both make sense.

 

I heard the thing about pulling out the floating rib aswell but that would be easier said than done

 

Hey Adrian1030, you're the same grade and style as me

Don't let things like this get you down, "you gotta live and learn" as they say. In this case I suppose that the lesson would be that judges aren't really bestowed with demi-god like powers of judgement.

I'am from time to time an "Uke".

 

But in the bigger regional events there is one sho-dan who always get self-defence moves demo-ed on him, regardless of if he happens to be wearing a groin guard at the time..

 

I do agree that it is a good learning process however and I take being used for demos as a compliment.

GKR karate is my style so people have the missconcieved notion that all of us who work for the club are out to make money, aren't proper karate-ka and that we don't mind being "the perenial whipping boys" (a quote from a non GKR member of the forums) of all other styles and people with grudges to bear.

Exactly what it says above.

It means you cough alot

*blinks innocently* what do you mean Valithor?

Still cant defeat the benysaki move...

 

^^^^^^^see above^^^^^^^

 

In my style the rising hands are to break a grip on your throat (or Gi etc: ) then they fingers fold into a fist, this represents grabing your oponents thumbs and then pulling them down before delivering what appears to be a grabing block followed by a nukite strike..although why have the grabing block if you just had them by the thumbs?

Don't exactly when yet, it was just something my RM mentioned to me because he had "heard it on the grapevine" so to speak.

WHipping kids with branches little or small (or indeed anything) should not be tolerated - simple as.

 

Bustr, Sens55, you both bring up valid points.

 

Master Art Monroe, if he has been training for 30 yrs could have a legitimate 7th dan using ht e years rule but something just doesn't ring true about the way the club presents itself.

^^ I can sympathise with that Sai, the gas board said they were coming on a monday, sunday night at 6.50 they ring up and say they won't be here for three weeks so no showers for a while. Fortunately they're meant to be coming this monday.

 

But I have off days all the time, just got to knuckle through it.
