Hello mastermd, welcome to the #1 MA forums.

Wow, that looks really good. I agree with Nick, i would break my neck if i tried this. Thanks for the video

I would have to pick the dojo, for all the reasons listed above, safer, more equipment, have expert advice, other karateka willing to learn and to help out.

Well at my Dojo I think the minimum (with no MA experience beforr) is about 3 or 4 years. That is doing 3-4 (after orange) times a week, for an hour. Right now, I am a white belt, but we had to earn our white belt. We started wiht no belt, then had a small test in front of the class. Now stripe testing is coming up at the end of the month, so i am excitied.

You might be able to get your black belt, but there is no point to rush, becuase if you are movin, you will go to a different dojo and probably start at white. For now, dont rush your training, go through it properly. There is ALOT of traning when you get your blackbelt. It is not like it is the end after your Black Belt. It takes Alot longer to get up to a couple Dans, then to actually get your black belt.

Hello Gilbert, hows it going? Welcome back to KF.

Well i have a bokken and a pair of nunchucks (spelling??) I am hhoping to buy some more, just need to find some stores.

He or She

Well, me personally I am not famous. I am realted to the owner of the plaines of Abraham, I am realted to the founder of the store Eatons, I am also realted to one of the 7 founding fathers of Canada. My grandpa is really big on finding my family trees and eerything, it is what he spends all his timedoing. Nicolas

Wow, good job on quiting, that must have taken lots of determination. I have never and will never smoke in my life. I agree, pat yourself on the back, you must feel very good because of this huge accomplishment. Nicolas

Hello, Nehangoga wokalimas ka

Hello KungFuSith, you will find tones of information here.

How?

Well the only Kata that I know is, is Kiso Gedan, and I think it is a Kata my Shihan made for the beginners. I guess that is my favourite Kata.

I will try to stretch, then if nothing happens, I will go to the doctors, thanks everyone.

Congratulation Master Jules, the only thing is, maybe you should have worked on your speech lol.

Thanks for the advice, I am sure it is nothing very serious about it, probably just need to stretch.

Hey Matt Welcome to KF Good luck on yor brown belt testing and tell us how you did.

Mine would be starting Shotokan Karate. I am very happy that I decided to start and I am loving every minute of it.

The Shihan at my school plays it during the warm up sometimes. It helps to get pumped up, if it is good music. Like SloMo said, It's just a matter of preference.

Hello Everyone I don't know if this is a problem that many people get, and maybe all I have to do is stretch more. When I try to do a roundhouse, my hip hurts. Like when I have to lift my thigh, if you don't understand look at the picture, it would be number 2. I don't know if this is fairly common, but does anyone have any suggestions? http://www.budget.net/~dnolan/sid-t4-1.jpg Thank You in Advance, ncole_91

Well I have not been to a tournament yet, so I will get back to you. lol

I will be praying for him, that would be horrible if your shihan was hit by the tsunami. Hopefully he didn't get hurt or anything, but also pray for all the people that died and got injured. When is he supposed to come back, give us some news when you hear about his condition.
