congratulations

In my school we learn techniques from many different systems ( shotokan, jujitsu, filipino, alpha blocks) but at the end most of the things come from one system and the others just complement that, that is the base of your school. So that is what your certificate should say, just let your students know this is not TKD its ???. hope that makes sense

Hsa anyone learned the kata Gekisai. And what level do you learn it?

good luck and welcome

Well I started talking to my instructor and he helped me also. After hitting myself many times, I started altering alot and cutting many movements from a previous form. I wanted it to be more amped than the one taught to us. I added alot of spinning and palm spinning. The problem that I still have is that making it spin from side to side is alot harder with low stances. I find myself standing alot. It still a work in progress but I think it looks pretty good. Thanks alot for your help milkman I kept things you said it mind so that my form wouldnt have unrealistic movements (besides all the spinning).

let them strike as soon as you block strike with your legs. Use your legs to cover distance then strike with punches when you are closer

shotokankid that's true but most parents put them in baseball, football, soccer, etc. some of them are just lazy and use summer as an excuse to not go

I learned taisabaki with a tanjo (spelling?). That was really fun. But its ironic i wrote this message and as soon as i see him there he teaches me something new!?!?! There's no point to me writing this...just excited to learn this

thanks alot guys Its just that wednsday I felt bored (for the 1st time) because I have been doing this for so so long. But I see why he stresses so much. I wanted to ask him why we did it so much but I thought it disrespectful

lmao omg i feel so dumb right now black eye , black eyes. Its just im not used to seeing it like that

the reason I ask is that the jujutsu instructor (its a shotokan school) spends most of the time go over over and over it alot. Edit: practicing it does help sparring/fighting alot.

taisabaki, how important is it to the study of jujitsu?

BTW "I've had black eyes" you put that in your list of injuries. What exactly is that??

hey

wow! i still cant do it :D

Oh I do think about things like that alot of times when im bored just sitting and about to go sleep. I misunderstood meditate for the TV type "oummmm" type of thing

I have a question.....How exactly do you meditate? what are you supposed to think about? What is the proper form of sitting and breathing? (actually it turned out to be a few questions)

you cant make your hands grow through an execise

lmao!!! is that true? omg das hilarious

Bloodsport and the one that he kicks the tree and the brother is handicapped and all van dam movies

A heavy bag is better than a wavemaster its not so good when you try to hit it hard

congratulations!!!!

thanks alot that makes alot of sense, the "punching bag". Im going to really work on that.

OMG!!! there is a shaolin temple in NYC wow!!! I would love to learn from them. The must charge high prices probably?

I dated someone under me and yea it is a bad idea.....very very bad idea
