i passed to 1st kyu from 3rd kyu

i use a stance almost with a cat stance feel too it so when being rushed you can throw front leg kicks easily

was double tested for 1st kyu

did you go from a junior black to a nidan?

non blade i would have to say bo, blade would be katana. but you can find something to be used as a bo alot easier than a sword

3 to 6, but i've heard in grappling arts it usually takes 6 to 10

i prefer black, it doesn't show stains as bad as any of the others. plus i like them when they fade

after you smash them for a while then it doesn't hurt anymore depends on how much you use shin blocks, i find them to be super effective. im 130 pounds and can take hard kicks from some big dudes. but in our school we use our legs to block a kick more than we do our arms.

i have learned most of my ground stuff from trial and error. but when i got that it improved my technique and the theory i have towards ju jitsu so much stronger

we all beat ours against trees

Pinan Shodan Pinan Nidan Matsumura Bo Shodan Seisan Wansu Nihanchi Shodan Bo Nidan Nihanchi Nidan Ananku No Sai but our system has been changed over to Hebrew so we also refer to them as the following names: Shalom Bet Shalom Aleph Ruwach Koach Gadol Krav Neged Anak Im Hagav Laquir Aleph Kavod Le Yah Im Hagav Laguir Bet B'Li Nesheq you can see the first four forms at https://www.myspace.com/houseofdavidkarate

our system is built mostly upon Matsumura Seito, but also has some Matsubayashi. as well as Kempo and Tae Kwon Do

my teacher has always told us that at black belt is just a person who has good control of there body and has put in the time to learn the basics

oh sorry. yeah i passed, it was a real challenge

twice a week is a happy medium

shorin ryu is a very good style to take, i like matsumura seito or the kenshin kan styles

i like the turtle masterline gloves there really good for sparring in class and they provide alot of protection to your opponent

a better way to break through a guard is to push down on the inner thigh until it breaks and quickly move your knee onto it and then over putting you in a half guard. after that repeat on the other side and you will have a full mount. im not sayin that you will totally eliminate the chance of the triangle, but it my experience it helped alot.

in our school we have classes with all ranks, but there are also classes set aside for different ranks to learn more advanced techniques

practice like crazy, until when they are called out you cab do them without thinking about it

it went really good, i sparred my teacher and it was crazy, he told me he would be fighting different and he did. he rung my bell a few times but it all went well

i started because the rest of my family did, but i stay in it because i love it. if i'm bored there is nothing i would rather do than run through all of my katas, or practice walking drills.

they stand in the regular rank order

white belt is a good time unless your instructor says otherwise. there should be no shame in losing or making a mistake, it is all a learning experience
