Goju 4 Life's Achievements

Orange Belt

Orange Belt (3/10)

  1. or do you want something to help you help people to just genrally focus. cuz i have a good one
  2. you know that seen in the bootcamp moive where the drill sergeant screamns at the recruits: "I AM YOUR MOMMY NOW!"
  3. creative forms with all the flips, spins, and tricks
  4. Every other saturday I wake up very early, around 7. This is really really early for a teen. And I go help my instructor maintain the school for a couple of hours before the first class starts. He says that he expects everyone to do that. But, I'm the only one. When snow needs to be shoveled he does it, when anything needs to be done either he does or he has to ask someone to do it. My opinion is that a karate school is a unique business because it's focus is not the bottom line. So, people should help out. What do you guys think? oh: Also if I let my instructor break his body doing janitorial work, who will teach me martial arts in ten years. I want to keep him around as long as possible.
  5. We have certain rules at our school about pushups. Certain infractions are dealth with 25 pushup multiplyed by how many instructors are in the building. I read what you guys said about pushups and I think you're right. But, it's not my school. And I have realized he was jsut looking for an excuse to leave anyway.
  6. i remember when I was training for the us open for about 3 and 1/2 hours a day. I had drilled my kata so that I could do it in my sleep. I would come home exhausted. I went to sleep and my sister had come in to borrow something for whatever reason. I immediatly jumped up with knife hands in a fighting stance.
  7. i play soccer but that's never happened to me. WHat does happen to me is whenever someone is about to bump into to me or play hit i put my hands up with my rear hand on my foawrd shoulder. reflex that's been developed over time, During soccer I've used flying front kicks, and tornado kicks.
  8. remember the fight scene between mr. and mrs. smith? that's ma love
  9. I practice Goju Ryu and Shorin Ryu
  10. I have learned a lot about teaching. 2 years ago I helped my shihan with the summer camp. But, I was more of junior counselor/assistant instructor. This year I operated as a counselor, and was teaching classes by myself. Often times my instructor could not even be in the building while I had 30 students to myself. The only help I got was from his wife, as the other counselors were scheduled to arrive after the class was over. When I would teach I could not get the discpline I wanted. They would play, move, talk, not pay attention, anything besides what they were supposed to do. At this point I was convinced it was because about half of them had some kind of diagnosed issue (emotinal/mental). But, then shihan could do it, so why not me. I also thought it was because I did not have what it takes to command respect as I see other senseis do. I talked with my shihan, and watched other teachers. It was so bad that shihan had a 10 year old girl keep the class quite after I had failed. I started changing my demeanor. I would stand up taller, and make my face less gentle looking. Stop trying to be their friend, and start being a sensei. The most important thing I changed was my voice. The tone I took with them greatly affects their obediance. Teaching children is a lot harder than teaching adults! I know I have come a long way from the classes I taught as a brown belt 3 years ago to today.
  11. https://www.trickstutorials.com this has videos, and written instructions on a wide variety of tricks club540.com has many videos and also decent tutorials. but the just added a tricktionary which is awesome bilang.com you can see th ebest trixters on here sportmartialarts.com is where you can see competition forms and also fights. there ya go. these are pretty much the best sites. they all have links to other sites. enjoy tricking. you've taken me back to my first landed 540. ::daydreams::
  12. I'm in higschool and it can be trying sometimes. It came out that I was a blackbelt because I did a performance in a production. The crowd liked me 540s and flips and all that good stuff. But, everyonce in a while I get a "I'm not messin with im he's a blackbelt" and "Hey show a karate move". Combined with how highschool boys are insecure and fell the need to prove themselves, it can be very frustrating.
