Umm... My pastor says he's talked to him about it a million times with other people too. So, no, I'm sure it doesn't

I don't think she's had any other experience. She had the option on taking PE or doing TKD so she picked TKD. I'm pretty sure she's never done any other MA before.

Welcome to KF.

My guitar teacher, who is my youth paster, talked to me about it today. His wife told him about the problem, she saw it and it worried her enough to tell her husband. It has been happening with other people. I'm glad I didn't have to bring it up.

Me! I play pretty much whatever I can get my hands on.

Yes, granmasterchen, I enjoyed your post. I agree that black belt is the beginning, but one year isn't long enough to begin.

No I got it as a present, my dad bought it for me, we went to Guitar Center and checked it out. Plus we know someone so we got it marked down from the already GLP.

My cousin just visited us. She's like 13 and she's been doing TKD for a year in Korea. She's already had the chance to test for Black belt! She didn't because she injured herself, but she's going to be testing when she goes back. Only 1 year of training? What do you think about that?

Ditto

what kind of guitar is it?

Welcome back, and good luck, glad your ankle's better

Hey aefibird! You stole my signature, lol. I need to find more of those quotes. hehehe

Welcome to KF, nice website!

Nope, I'm using Karate for my PE credits.

Welcome to KF, good luck with your operation, and good luck when you get married.

I'm just a little bit intimidated going to the police. But he's using his martial arts to be a bully. I think probably the best solution is to stay as far away from him as possible, if possible.

Thanks Enviroman Anybody else?

There's a guy, who I will call "John" who is a member of my church. He has done Aikido, TKD, and TSD. He's late 20s or early 30s. He always does joint locking techniques on me if we shake hands, and if I refuse to shake his hand, he threatens me. He also keeps taking me down. I always "tap out" the sencond he touches me, and he calls me a chicken. He's about 6'2" and 200 pounds, so I wouldn't even dream of trying to fight back. I try to stay away, but guess what the announcement was today? "John is going to be helping out with the high school's Sunday school." What to do?

Have you talked to the original instructor and discussed the situation with him?

That was a nice long post. I like the part I quoted in particular... if you remember, I posted an article that went into my dojo newspaper about what I quoted. Once again, that was a pretty good post.

Is this just about wicked, or is this any play? and is this how many times per year?

LIke I said, my dojo has had ONLY 2 youth black belts. And, we don't practice disarming guns.
