Now that is truly funny. I wonder if the competitor lost points for appearence.

Try the university of Florida website.

For me it was rohai; then kanku dai.

Listen up everybody it is not always smart to just suck up the pain and ignore things.

Shotochem you really should not feel anything in your ankles. They should be in the same line with your knees and feet. I think Positioning your legs from the top down instead of from the knees down will take care of that too. Your toes and knees should be pointing the same direction.

Only the truly demented enjoy finals. And College or University finals are nothing like the trivial little ones in high school.

Bumping this to the top to answer a question.

A tip for hangetsu and the knees - when you go into the stance don't think about pointing your knees in. Think instead about closing your legs together from the groin area. You will find that takes the stress off the knees.

I cant say that I have any that I really don't like. There have been times that I did not enjoy getting caught in shiko dachi in the middle of jiin while sensei was off talking on and on and on.

The jukoka who took the issue to a court case when denied entrance to tournaments for refusing to bow for the same reason lost their case.

This forum has a very strict anti-profanity policy. Posts that trigger the censors are removed; as are disrespectful posts.

If you wear glasses and cannot see without them you will need to invest in sports goggles. I wear my goggles under a standard Lightning helmet.

I think if the policy is clearly spelled out and the student is given a proper warning that could be a very effective deterrent.

That kind of an attitude does not bode well for this fellows prospect at future promotions in dojos ran with a traditional sense of honor.

I actually have seen people wear tops inside out that had printed logos on the back. Or get a tube of white acrylic artists paint with a brush and paint over the old logo. Hang it up for three days for the paint to set before washing. Then do a second application if necessary.
