Menjo

I havnt tried in awhile but I used to be able to for a short time lol...........

Welcome

the post above was supposed to be an edited version orf the previous one...

I think you have been vastly mismformed of true shotokan training. THe whole way of thinking is not one perfect kill shot however it would be nice to be able to do that but that is not what it is based on for sure. Full contact training defitnaly is a great assest but not having full contact training hasnt stopped me from downing 5-7 street fighters using shotokan, but i do agree with most of your post though...

I have better stuff lying around my house that isnt even ment for working out...

yea speaking of luck the only martial arts store near my area just closed so I guess i wont even be able to buy anything at all

Its kindy iffy with me, I havnt been able to attend a shotokan class for 3 weeks and I recently had to quit muay thai so hopefuly things will look better in the near future

Yea i agree, maybe im just not built for it...

lol good point

I do it lightly to calm myself down or if I cant think very clearly.

I do all the exercise stuff and weights and all, running sparing lightly with friends too...

Unfortunatly I never heard of it before this topic came up.....

Welcome

Hello and welcome

I agree for the most part, I was once double promoted and I was releived and frustrated at the same time. However I of course didn't say anything and gratiously took the belt. I think anywhere in the senior belt levels double promotion shouldn't be even thought of, while say if a student is a white belt or a yellow belt and their double promoted then fine if their not really MA material then let them find out what it is really like, but that brings up another topic of students so never mind. I actually dont even think their should be belts, and maybe the way the schools used to have it along time ago, where you have a white belt and as you train on the colour of your belt gradualy darkens sounds like an exellent way to me. Also double grading tends to get people in the incorrect thought pattern of traditional hard humble training. And like I always do i mostly blame the mcdojos in away..and yes it seems alot of MA today blame their woes on the mcdojos for everything, and ill be one of those MA for this post. I think double grading was probably a mcdojo thing at first and rare in the other schools, however as the other schools started running out of members grading people easier is ovoiusly a way to keep more members in, and double grading can be accoticiated with that...so no I think people should enjoy moving up the ranks the slow and sometimes discouraging way....

I once went to side snap a guy in the head but he got below it and kneed me in the groin and stamped on the very same place lol.....

I dont think breaking boards should be apart of testing, only in regular training, and as a hobbie, fine.

Welcome

Also it can break easly

Hey and welcome

What is that like?

ouch, ive been lucky with only a few minor injuries so far...

sounds great, how often do you train during the camps?

Yea thats why like all techniques youd better know what you're doing if you really want it to work well,
