I like: - training - sleeping - eating - going out - listening music =)

Olá a todos , eu gostava de saber se existem practicantes de artes marciais que falem a lingua portuguesa neste forum. Eu practico Karate shotokan á mais ou menos meio ano, ainda sou um cinto branco, mas nao por muito mais tempo, espero.

hmm brown is also 3 times here..I forgot that

I´m wanting to do a tatto, probably on my back or in the arm..probably my name or some kind of japanese symbol or a dragon in colors. I´m particulary conserned about the pain question. Does anyone here has a tatto? It´s all that painfull ( some persons say that the pain can make you faint )

arent the belt in this order: white, yelow, orange, green, blue, red , brown, black?

that is 11 years before i was born..

hey, congrats =)

dont forget mentioning what syle of karate you do practice. I´m a white belt ,shotokan style.

europe - portugal - lisbon btw, portugal is near spain ( just for the ones who dont know )

thanks everyone, I will keep working even harder at shotokan of course, I only want to know the story of karate. And I wanted to know what are the differences , like, between shotokan and the "ryu"

My sensei is awesome..and there are loads of other usefull persons there, I really love beeing there and i wished that there where more trains weekly ( only 2 a week ). I´ve done lots of friends there =)

hey..i´ve been training karate shotokan for about 5 or 6 months now. I really love it...=)

I train Shotokan Karate. Now that I got in this forum , I ´ve been hearing about so many kinds of karate that I´m getting confused.. Would anyone explain to me what are those...weird japanese names.

karate Good: - Very very resonable price ( really cheap ) - Very good instructor ( really AWESOME ) - classes are twice a week. 2 1/2 hour each one. - large space ( gym ) - near my house bad: - very large class ( about 30 - 40 students )

I have an weird story..I also was in MA when I was 8, I was doing karate, I quit it after a while. ( i dont know what style ) and the last year, When I was 14 ( I´m 15 now) ( about 6 mohts ago) my parents said to me to start doing karate again. I started again, for about 5 moths I was hating it. ( In that hole five months I didnt even learnt the first kata ). Now about 1 moth ago, I started loving it. Just ask your parents if you can start again. I´m sure that if you really want to, they will let you do it.

I mean, here why do train twice a week ( sometimes 3 times, or 4 times a week). Before starting the train we play basket and we run a bit. Then we start the train with ligher things. ( oh i forgot to mention that we have l 2 trainings in the same day, the first one is for"children" and the ones that can´t come to the second training, and the second training is for people over 12/13 years, i´m usualy i both trainings, because I´ve only start doing karate half an year ago and I want to learn more stuff ). We finish the training with katas. the second trainning is usually an only katas trainning..

I only train twice a week, thats the regular schedule where in portugal. But this week i´m going to train 3 times.
