Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

It helped me a lot with my balance and co-ordination when I used one.

That is a very interesting question. I think everyone is born with basic survival instincts. As to how much perseverance a person developes that would depend on a lot of thier living situation, culture, family structure, and customs and mores of thier culture.

I bet she is adorable.

Welcome to the forum.

How long did it take the majority of your training cycle to reach the point where with everyone in identical uniforms people began looking at their name tags to see who they where?

I got surprised tested for my nidan as well.

Cord is what I have seen.

Good luck to him. Nothing like those first few days of basic.

Welcome to the forum.

I am going to move this to comparitive arts.

I knee kick is where the knee is the surface that impacts with the opponent not the foot. Knee kicks are commonly used to target the groin and ribs. And if you are familiar with Heian Yondan there is a move in that kata that simulates grabbing an opponts head and pulling it down into your rising knee strike.

I did my 5th kyu test after having pneumonia and some other serious health issues. After I managed to get off the floor without collapsing I promised myself that I would never again test while I was that weak.

You don't need equipment to improve your kicks. Just a lot of practice. Sure a heavy bag would help but after just only two months of training just keep practicing. And when you practice punches never lock you elbow out while you are punching air. Same for the knees - never let them lock out while kicking air.

Let's bump this up.

Have a great trip monkeygirl.

I am a slow old phart with bad reflexes.

You may be having fun doing that at school but I highly recommend you not do that any more. With the increasing problem of violence in schools and the no tolerance policies it might get you in some big trouble.

Welcome to the forum.

Tha sounds like a very impressive display of respect.

The purpose of the comparitive arts area is to discuss differences, similarities and merits of one system or style vs another. It is not to discuss which system is best.

Congratulations.

Your kitten will have such a bond with your. You are making a friend for life.
