wats the difference???
bushido_man96 replied to french fri25's topic in TKD, TSD, Hapkido, and Korean Martial Arts
I will look into it, thank you! -
Your lesson plan should "be like water..." Very nice, Jiffy!
-
Very good point. Always be willing to make an effort to help students, but do not lie to them if you don't know something.

Sorry to hear this. Maybe she will return sometime, when they get figured out exactly what they want to do.

Will that start to affect my weight training, i.e., make me more tired, and restrict my results?
-
I have a contract signed where I go, but the money is withdrawn monthly from my account, so I don't have to worry about writing a check every month.

That would be the biggest celebrity match ever!!
-
Good luck to you!! Let us know how it goes.

TKD has some roots in Shotokan karate, as a matter of fact. However, in order to differentiate, they elaborated on the kicking, and it became more dynamic. There are differences between ITF and WTF TKD, and a search will help with that.

1. I used to be certified in CPR, but have not renewed for some time. I do believe it is a good idea for black belts and instructors. As for what the Sempai was doing, I have not a clue. You'd have to ask him. 2. Being overweight is a problem, and it has been discussed here before. Hopefully it is something that the student is working on, and wants to improve, and that is why he is there. Unfortunately, the only way the instructor can control it is by what he does in class; he could restrict his progress as motivation for losing weight, but that is about it. 3. Doing knuckle push-ups should not cause any problems. However, if you work with your hands, and are concerned about damaging or not being able to use them because they are sore, you may want to address this concern to your instructor.

BJJ in a real fight
bushido_man96 replied to AceKing's topic in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, and Grappling Martial Arts
His practice of randori is what gave his students the edge over the more "leathal" moves and training that the JJJ practitioners did. The Gracies have benefited the same way. I personally think that is a big benefit for wrestlers as well. -
Even though the guy is a blue belt, he may still be qualified to teach. You would have to check with the standards of the organization, but you may still be able to learn something from him. Remember, it takes about 10 years to get a black belt in BJJ, so who knows how much time this guy may have in. Did you do any work with him, or just watch a class?

Kung Fu In Combat
bushido_man96 replied to MizuRyu's topic in Kung Fu, JKD, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, and Chinese Martial Arts
It doesn't seem very fair to the rest of the students. Why would they do this?? -
Yeah, that roughing the passer call was bunk, IMO. They have to let them play....its a contact sport, for crying out loud!!! Pretty soon, defensive players won't even be able to look at a QB funny without getting penalized.

I think owning exotics is ok, if there is proper certification that the animal can be owned, and the responsibility is taken to care for them properly. Personally, I like dogs. I currently have no pets.

Hostile Training mates

Groin guard, protector, etc. -
You cannot replace these feel good moments with any monetary value!

Something fun to do at the end of class, that is similar to lordtariel's idea, is to have the class line up, and then have everyone set in a horse stance, and then extend the arms straigth out in front of them. Lock the elbows, and extend the fingers. Now, starting with the lowest rank, they count to ten, and with each count, everyone brings the fingers in to a fist, and then flexes them back out, very quickly. After that person counts to 10, it goes to the next, and they count to 10, working your way all the way up to the highest rank, and then the instructor. The forearms will be stingy when finished, and the more people in class, the better it is!

Martial Arts - My Way of Life!

I have seen the kettlebell training, and it looks good, but I don't have access to them. If the gym ever gets some, I will give them a try, but I won't go get some. I do have a friend that swears by them, and he is over 50, and in fairly decent shape. He is really wiry, and like to workout with them.
