I'd understand, you need to keep practice you will be extreamly surpreise when people reach 1st 2nd dan they give up they think they know, you beginning to understand when you are 4th dan and upwards not even teth dan understand its has no limits.

That is true why not show your ability but don't try to kill him heheheh.

yes I'd did mostly my intructor talks about weapons suits steath, he teach us alot of ju-jitsu.

Who dares say that, I'll put you in the muay thai ring myself, Hi if you know Muay thai is the first Martial arts it began before christ, since over 2200 years roughly, the old fashioned Muay thai began long time ago in nakonrachima am a muay thai myself and my tacher teach martaist and weight lifters he has the most davatating blows I've ever seen he teachs up to even a 6th dan jka and other arts his 58 years old and very skillful, he is able to leap high better than any taekwondoist and jump on his sholuder and doulbele elbow strike and knock out for minutes. I know that he can break thick bamboo faster than five axe man on speed. and that's a fact.

A proper horse riding (Real deep) stance even sensei's can't hold for over 9 minutes.

From white to yellow to orange tip to orange to green to blue to red to brown to brown to brown to black. There must be atleast 5 months apart from your last gradings to next, for brown to black there must be atleast a year to get your permit to go to your gradings. My club win gold medals alot so is that a mcdjo club?

Monkey girl that was a great advice I'll try those but when i started in front it felt like the world is watching me, but I'll try it.

Am not sure if I had a similar experinced I'd trained at home 13 hours a week, at the dojo about 3 hours a week, now am aiming to get bronze on tournament, katas and kumite.

Clasee fees should be £4 - £6 about $7 - $10.

Hi, my dojo is kenshukai am an 7th kyu are sensei's lets us hold for a long time too, but I can hold for 4 minutes 6 minute max (Shake alot) But I practice at home I done 15 minute have 10 second break evry 5 minute. Kaiba dachi (Horese riding stance) I find it easy to hold, am a expert in sumo stance too. Now am practicing to my leaning stances and long forwad stances physical trainning is good and relx is just as good to get your enegy together. If you do the hous works watching tv playing sports just imagine yourself this is a karate trainning, am in my mid teens normally I can do 20 push ups proper but now its around 32 and incresing. Am looking forward to go to my grade for my green belt it will be spectacular doing my smash and tear, I know empi,bassai dai, saifa, and taikyoku which now name as kihon. kaiba dachi is painful but put the pain outside the window and imagine sitting in the toilet. Horese riding stance is put your feet forward and sit down that is proper one knees forward. It might look easy but to master it it very compicate only a handful people can do it. If I done any mistakes i do 10-50 press ups great!! I love them. At home I do 6 hours + trainning 200 punches 300 blocks 10 minutes splits, hours warm ups, I find spare times to do these things. if you can't go to lesson with a bad weather train at home and who knows you will become tommorrow champ. At the grading 9thkyu-8thkyu do a sumo for about 30 seconds to a minute, 7thkyu-6thkyu do 1-4 minute It depends. When we do satnces are sensei walking around without notice he push you over to make sure you are doing it correctly. Its very funny though.

Goodluck in trainning there, me myself have to even move country so i will be strating in go-ju ryu I herd its fantastic.

Hi I need help from experinced Instructors, am a student in my club, am a top student which helps the Instrutor with his classes, in about 1 and a half years times I'd probabely going to become an Instructor myself, I have problem am a bit shy nervous and unconfident but am happy to teach and assist so I need help in running a classes, talking to students, beggining the classes, how to say etc to students and cope doing the techniqye etc, sign up. I like the feeling being a sempai though.

Punch a makiwara and buy a ball that you can hold, hold it and let go keep doing it and do 10 fingure prees ups. My way is punching walls. Go see some site about it, go to google thats fast way to search, or my chinese gung fu books about toughing your fingures.

Hi, its 90% heal now and getting back to full from getting ready for a tounament.

Good advice from rich67, my suggestions is stay still and get your guard up this is the time to use your blocks after grabbing his gi, do a davastaing blows for example axe kicks, death kick, bubble kick, inside vertical spinning kick etc. My advice is, when you see him ready, quickly use a snap kick or a punch kick nevr do a punch or he'll have enough power to swing his legs. But if you'd said your sensei's was doing a spin kick my advice is atyed away and try to side step guard up and prepare.

Hi, am not very confident and when I go to my dojo, when I speak I speak very low voice and my sensei keep saying what? pardon etc, he/she repeats that for a long time and i say "Oh deos'nt matter" how can i improve my confident my karate is good. About 1 and a half years time am going to become a brown belt and an instructor asistances and after that i will be a sense and i need help on my confidence. It is the major things that I have to cope with. Am not from english and sometimes fines it hard.

I herad that my 6th kyu grading will be much harder then my last grading, my saifa is good to past but I want it to be great because I heard not alot of 7th kyu are going to grading this next months so i want it to be spectacular to watch.

Hi, my grading is soon to come for my 6th kyu and I need some help slow video clips of saifa or any suggestions.

Welcome shotokan they have big branches all over the world but I say go-ju ryu is a good club.
