Hi Mr young 17 old! Just think that at 37 years of age, you will have 20 years of martial arts experience.

I fought in a tournament where two of my opponents were from the same school as two of the judges. Even when I knocked my opponents backwards with my strikes, the two judges claimed that they never saw it. On the other hand, my opponents were scoring points with strikes that were on my arm. Oh, by the way, this tournament was put on by the same school. I never went back to any of their tournaments again.

Hi xXSai WarriorXx and welcome!

Holding in your stress is not good for you, release it on a heavy bag!

Hi Rick! 700+ students! WOW!

You could have worn a homemade black belt so everyone could see that you were just pretending, otherwise people might take you for a real black belt that was showing off.

He'll say to himself, "since I can't beat you hand to hand, I'll get my baseball bat and hit you from behind." The element of surprise (your opponent not knowing that you have skills) is a great asset to your defense.

Hi Mary and welcome!

Hi SenseiKeith and welcome!

Good combo because they're not conflicting in techniques........do it!

In any tournament, you must accept that there is a possibility that you may get hurt. Most injuries that I have seen in submission type of competition were due to people's reluctance to tap out.

Welcome back, Taku-Shimazu

Just imagine the day that you can promote students to black belt.

Hi RoninGurl and welcome!

Martial arts has changed my life by teaching me to keep striving towards goals even when times get hard.

Hi Lasz and welcome!

Working out with moderate weights will actually make you faster besides being stronger.

A little bit of training is certainly better than no training especially since you plan on continuing your training after boot camp. Do it!
