  1. Me neither till recently and its pretty cool. its a shield and a knife or spear. the techinuqes are really interesting. has anyone else trained with this weapon?
  2. hope you will not confuse true self defence techniques with kumite and competititions. true karate is hidden within kata and the moves are in fact very deadly and so are illegal in kumite and competitions. dig a little deeper and i think you will appreiciate your kata better. good luck.
  3. Its exercises from the original feeding crane system that goju came from. to learn more about it visit https://www.kimowall.org and look for kung li. Tell me what you think.
  4. your brother does good work the armor looks nice
  5. where is a good affordable place to get insurance for a karate school.
  6. first off i have found that kids classes should be not much longer than one hour or you will loose their concentration. secound dont get to serious with them play games that trick them into doing karate movements, and give rewards. Sometimes we would give patches to the childern who preform well or stripes on their belt. Such as respect stripe or power patch just to get the others to say to themselves i want that so i better try harder. I dont know use you imagination and good luck
  7. one in a million times maybe if they get lucky. thats impossible
  8. anyone ever heard of it or if so do you still train the exercises.
  9. Just wandering recently I had the honor of meeting and training with Kimo Sensei and I would recommend it to anyone. Also wondering if anyone is a member of his orginization the Kodokan. here is his website https://www.kimowall.org check it out especially his lineage
  10. well any classes such as speech and education classes. I am taking classes to be a teacher so they really helped. Also any type of anatomy class of sports science. I also have recently taken classes in Ancient Thai Massage and that really helps me not only with people with injuries but you learn interesting energy lines and pressure points.
  11. this is really to bad but typical of the tournament scene. I have also had bad experiences in tournaments and refuse to even go watch them due to the lack of martial arts that i see in them. It is more like a shouting gymnastic match than karate. If your students want to participate in extracurricular activities outside of class maybe research a good seminar of camp to attend would be my advice.
  12. if you are looking for fancy moves and ever have to defend yourself you will be very disappointed with you martial arts. You may impress tournament judges or those ignorant to the martial arts but not someone who is trying to take your head off.
  13. My teacher introduced me to Kancho Takahashi and we began training. And Kimo Sensei just recently came and visited our dojo and lived in the area for a short while so had the honor of joining his orginization.
  14. if you are interested in goju-ryu karate i may be able to help you out
