Darce

Well, I haven´t been really sick the past years. Not since I started working out, actually.

Eat lots of candies. No, seriously, what´s wrong with being underweight? You could be a great marathon runner!

The same thing happened to me some days ago, when I was testing how high I was able to kick. I just fell backwards and landed on my butt. It didn´t hurt, but I felt kind of embarrassed.

Good luck!!!

Thanks.

Interesting read. And your English is actually very good.

Not very often, and when I drink I do not take too much.

I´m fifteen...

Well, IMAO it was good. Not VERY good, just good.

I can only do about 5 pull-ups, but it´s because I´ve got such a big body (not fat, it´s all muscles ) But I can do 80 push-ups instead.

We simply play football.

That´s true. And karate is very good!

Hey, one of my trainers is excactly the same kind of *. He´s fat, violent and screams a lot. Luckily he doesn´t train us very often, only like once a month or something. I hated him at first sight.

ROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAR!!! Why not just go outside and kick someone´s butt?

My time is about 22 minutes.

Isn´t someone with 10th dan called master or grandmaster?

Isn´t 10th dan called master?

Hello everyone, I´m Darce, a noob on these boards. I´m from a little village in Finland and i take Shukokai Karate. I´m fifteen years old and I´ve got two bunnies, a turtle and a hamster. That´s all you need to know about me. From now on I´ll be here with you.

Have any of you heard of it? It´s like lots of mixed korean arts, with lots of weapons and no spirit at all. BTW, I think Han mo doo is only in Finland.

Shotokan, IMAO cause it has so old traditions and stuff. They have still got their philosophy.

My Shukokai trainer once told me that Shotokan is one of the best Karate styles. Almost as good as Shukokai.

There are no differences between women and men when it comes to martial arts.

Yeah I agree. LOL!!! Why don´t you go get someone in your own age. No offense or somethin, but I doubt you´ll get her.

Hey, Fireka. What belt o you have BTW?

I don´t think it depends on the country, just the style of karate (or other MA). But I´ve heard that in Japan you only get the brown and the black belts. Anyway, in Shukokai it´s like this: 8 kyo: Yellow belt 7 Kyo: Orange belt 6 Kyo: Green belt 5 kyo: Blue belt 4 kyo: Purple belt 3 kyo: 1st Brown belt 2 kyo: 2nd Brown belt 1 kyo: 3rd Brown belt And then The black belt with dans up to 6.
