  1. Well i became a teacher basiclly my sensei slowly let me take more and more control of the class until it got to the point where he is in his office and I am taking the class. As everyone else has said teaching is a great thing. I have almost a year now teaching. There are times when it is more difficult but in the end your understanding of everything will increase since you have to make others understand. It is also wonderful when you can see the young ones come up through the rank.
  2. Wow I am very happy because, some of you might remember how i was complaining of the lack of effort from the higher belts. But Between today and yesterday I have seen that the yellow belts are really good. There katas were looking great. I spend alot of time training with them (3 days a week) so i feel that them getting better is also an accomplishment for me. There sparring has improved significantly. But what really had me with jaw dropped was there nice stances and execution. they looked like green belts in there katas. Does anyone ever feel this proud after days like this ?
  3. That was a great movie, one of the best ive seen. the only problem, I saw it in some asian language so I was stuck trying to figure out the story line.
  4. Thats horrible i hope you can find another school that you can continue to train
  5. school hasnt been that bad yet except for the fact that i have today and tommorow to read 9 chapters
  6. lol... I still my old uniforms i thought i was the only one that kept them for memories lol
  7. I remember one dean in my school had a kung fu club but it didnt get much attention not many people joined and no one really paid much mind to it. So good luck with teaching in HS.
  8. I dont think that it was necessary for you to do that. He doesnt hurt anyone by running his mouth. You know when it comes down to it you can wipe the floor with him so why create a problem.
  9. really did you learn this system?
  10. bienvenido Bagpuss!
  11. Has anyone heard of Grandmaster Jaybee LaPuppet (Alpha Blocks System)
  12. I would think the samurai would win also for reasons already said.
  13. Do you have a link to the video. I would like to see it
  14. Well no one really cares that I do this. Its just cool to some and others just dont care. ProjectJanus wow im surprised that you got that reaction from kung fu shoes. Where I live girls wear kung fu shoes alot specially during the summer, it was a style for a while.
  15. this is off topic but Gregory you have two belts? lol and Congrats on the blue belt
  16. I forgot my entire uniform once not too long ago after taking it home to wash it.
  17. exhale when you strike and splits let you stretch.
  18. Teenagers 13 and up are old enough to train without it being turned into games.
  19. "Karate-Do: My Way of Life" vs. "Karate-Do Nyumon: The Master Introductory Text" What is the difference between these two books. I was planning on buying the first but then ran across the second one and comments say it is really good. thanks
  20. :appluase: wow that is really a wonderfully true article. "Honestly I believe when we train once, twice, three or four times a week we are given the tools. We take them home and then we grow." I tell that to some of the students (13-15 ish) you have to take what you learn home and do over and over again until you adapt to it and it becomes part of you.
  21. congrats thats great!
  22. What about Honda? b/c mine is the Honda Civic (the older models not the neswer ones)
  23. My hands go up when i get alarmed too. but that's a good thing i guess
  24. not exactly that but when I first started I called my teacher sensei one time
