Welcome to the forum.

It is possible but will take time. Just stretch on a regular basis and push the limits a bit at a time.

The key to loosing weight while doing participating in karate class is to put your max effort out every class and train on your own as well. Over time you will gradually find your endurance and strenght increasing. And if you watch what you eat your weight will decrease.

A bit of pruning of inappropriate comments has been done here.

Deadly if you have the speed, and flexibility.

Some -most - larger people involved in martial arts do have a degree of fitness. And most do loose weight while they are training. And think about the proportion of the general public that is overweight. Should they not also train? Your own experience training should begin to answer some of your questions.

Sounds pretty interesting.

The best way to begin to learn weapons is from an instructor.

Simple tap water. Just see how it goes as you work with it. And you can do multiple coats.

One thing that might cause a difficulty in learning a bo kata from a different system is that the isshin ryu stances are a bit different that some of the stances in say Sakagawa no kon. I ran into the opposite problem when I learned tokumine no kon.

This may not be a popular point of view but here goes. By the time a person is a high school senior they should be on the verge of entering the adult world. And as such should be capable of respecting authority and a reasonable amount of manners. What if you get a job and your boss is strict? Bosses want employees that show up on time, follow the rules, do good work and have a good attitude. It sounds like it is time to practice those skills. And it is not acceptable behaviour in the workplace to cry, (even for girls), if reprimanded by the boss for being late. Seniors should be learning this if they haven't allready.

I did a helmet a while back with acrylic paint from an art supply store. A jar or tube of paint thinned down. The same paint can be thinned down even more and used on fabric.

Yeah that is a good one from the ground up. What about the old one with the "speecy spicey meatballs?"

There is a way. Use artist acrylic paint.

My shoulders audibly clunk and ratchet but they have a lot of scar tissue in them and I am probably at least twice your age.

battousai16 wins the prize for finding the link to the same question. So now this one closes.

What about Johnny Quest?

What about the old one " I can't believe I ate the whole thing".

I have been stung but I am not allergic.

Thanks Goju1 I too am hypothyroid. I turn into an evil monster without enough synthroid in my system.
