One, you have to judge on how long the brakes are I know in are dojo classes can range from 1-3 hours depending on if it is advanced class or all rank, and for beginners I personally think the most important thing you need to first practice is block after all Karate is supose to defend yourself so what is the point if you cannot even defend yourself but you can sit in a horse stance or etc

So Isshinryu Man what belt are you and did you ever attend AAA nationals you must be pretty good

I plan on going to some upcoming tournaments and events involving Karate, however I do not know how to prepare for them...Any ideas? I am already eating healthy..no man made food etc and exercising everyday (running & streching & going to karate)...What should I do more? Should a 15 year old be weight lifting, no right because it like stops growth and messes up your joints and stuff..

hmm ya..I heard they are fun..my friend went to one in LA...got like 1st place or something

My bad.. any of you go to tournaments that is..

Just out of curiosity do any of you every go to any tournaments? And If you do which ones? Like nationals, Junior Olympics
