ShotokanKid

I do Shotokan which they say is a lot like Goju... we also have tournaments with goju people.

I worked with 3-6 year old kids. Its hard to work with them because they dont comprehend stuff as well and there bodies aren't well developed for certain things. However, my teacher does this (and I used it when I warmed them up) This was called hula knees: feet together, hands on your knees makes circles. Also, hula hips, "big yes" big no (with the head) and things like that. Warming them up is always the slow part of class Good Luck!

How do you edit things like where you're located, what styles you take, age, how to contact, etc. thanks

gcav is right... the best fight is the one that never happens. I'd rather walk away from a fight than actually fight. As a jr higher, there are plenty of fights at my school and plenty of suspensions. It's not worth it to blow your record, even if you pound the guy.

Can someone give me some tips? My sensei keeps telling me to get my roundhouse kicks higher. I'm a 14 year old male and I'm not very felxible. How can I get my kicks higher? Can someone give me tips like how to stretch and stuff like that?

The only katas i recognize are bassai and jion. Then again, I haven't even had my black belt for a year yet.

Everyone always tells me to get my stance lower so I guess you're supposed to have low stances. However, depending on the style, they may or may not emphasize a certain stance the same way other styles do.

Thanks for telling me, Oh and yes I do Shotokan

Thanks for your post. What you said is really true, but it's hard to accept as a young person. Thanks again.

Advertise and train in a backyard. People do that

I just signed up and I want to know how to edit. For one thing, I'm a black belt, not a white, so how do I edit this? Thanks for replying.

I've been doing Shotokan Karate for 5 years now and I have a black belt. However, Since I am 14, I can't advance any farther till I'm over 16. What is a style that will be beneficial to my Shotokan experience but exciting enough for me (I like sparring but I also like kata)
