We use a 8 class rotating schedule. It came to our attention that by just going into class, and then deciding what we are going to work on led to things being left out, and when it came time to do promotions, there was a mad rush to catchup on some things... I am a big advocate of a rotating class schedule now.

At what belt do you feel that students should become involved in assisting in instructing a childrens class?

Keep them coming people... they are all great!

First and for-most, RB, don't be a * . Second, you obviously don't go to tournaments to compete, because it is blatently obvious in every tournament that someone ends up being unfairly judged. Like in all other sports, there is a great deal of politics, and this leads to inconsistant judging. At one point or another, everyone who has competed has been unfairly judged.... so don't be a dumbass, and let Kungfumaster vent!

And I am telling you where I think the name comes from, not who the supplier is.

Thank you to everyone who posted some useful information here. Bob Dalgleish was my Sensei's, Sensei's instructor, which explains why we learn the Kata (we all live in Sudbury). I guess that I will just have to keep looking. Again thanks to everyone who posted useful information.

Yep, they have taken that name from the Century Martial Arts supply company http://www.centuryfitness.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10051&storeId=10051&categoryId=13704&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=13501

We learn Sanchin at 4th Kyu (Orange Belt)

It is a kata that I have to learn... so as my sig says, it is a Goju Ryu karate kata. I wasn't asking what style it comes from. I want to know if there is an online video of it.

Does anyone know if there is a video online that shows the kata "the way of the wolverine"? Thanks.

My avatar is the official crest of my style. It is the Master Miyagi's fist.

You can't use your hands to spar? Without the combination of hands and feet, I wouldn't be able to fight worth crap!

This is the exact way that I would handle the situation too

Are you talking about meditation and reading of ancient scripts in Traditional Goju Ryu Karate?

I agree, equal rights!
