Yes, It is quite a task. But it's only the website. Its something like promotion through website. I plan to use Sensei Woon-A-Tai website and "sub-domain" it. It will probaby be https://www.guyana.jkawfcanada.com . Its quite a long address, but its all we have. I only know HTML and CSS, so thats what I'm building it with. Back to Karate Anybody know the six ways to use the hips? I really need to know so I may apply it to my kata.

I dont usually make posts like this but I thought this is quite funny. In my class there is a guy that goes: arrrrooooo!!!!!!!!

Club: YMCA Dojo City: Georgetown, Guyana Sensei: Amir Khouri 5th Dan

I think that Jion is for short people becuase it has vry powerful moves in it. When you put a short person and and a tall person to do that kata, the tall person has less balance than the short person. All this is according to my Sensei I like Jion becuase I am short, but not midget short. And I have a muscular structure. But my kata is Bassai Dai

you guys really know alot. I still have tons to learn. Bassai Dai is the kata I will be doing to proceed to Shodan (1st dan). I am currently focusing on the 6 ways of using the hips and how they are used in Bassai Dai. (By the way i'm forgetting the 6 ways, may someone please remind me? ) And then I will apply it. Sensei Woon-A-Tai has plans to start a Karate college in Guyana: Guyana Karate College I am in charge of making the website. We're trying to bring Guyana back to the powerhouse of Karate it once was. When Sensei Woon-A-Tai left Guyana everything went sub-standard (no disrespect to the black belts that were left in charge, but Sensei Woon-A-Tai was an inspiration to all of them back then.). Now we're going to be working our way up back again. And I am very proud to be a part of this. I seem to be the only 2nd kyu interested in becoming part of it unfortunately, but all of our black belts are ready to help in anyway. The bi-(or by)laws have been approved and a few signatures and couple dollars more and we will have it ready. But this is just the beginning. You guys here are really awesome, I spend alot of time roaming around in these forums and reading your post on karate. You really have expertise on it.

my apologies

With respect to your seventh dan: Killer Miller I HAVE the muscular abilites to perform Bassai Dai. If not, I dont think the higly respected and talented JKA member by the name of Frank Woon-A-Tai who has in addition to is the leader of the third highest karate team in the world would have me performing this "advanced kata". In Guyana we may have a small league of Black Belts, but their caliber is of the highest quality and under the tutorship of Sensei Frank Woon-A-Tai, it is to go further. And may I say, Sensei Frank Woon-A-Tai is also a guyanese. He has been performing Bassai Dai since my "tender" age and now he has turned in to being one of the best in the world.

arigato..i just had a class with sensei woon-a-tai...he is now trying to get more instructors for Guyana..he is currently employing an instructors certification programme on the black belts...even though i am 2nd kyu i still attend these classes....i am preparing for when i have to do it next year. Thank you for the technical advice so far.

heian shodan. nidan, sandan, yondan, godan. tekki shodan, nidan, sandan bassai dai kankudai empi jitte gangaku jion

Shotokan

when i do the uchi uke....my my front leg draws up...i'm doing it in front stance (zen)...my alternative is drawing up the back leg ....but then that makes my arm come in making it look choked thus the power is going in the wrong direction... and i have a poblem carrying my hips all the way around to 135 degrees..shortning my stance is an alterative...but the same thing happens with my arm.

I am currently under training with Frank Woon-A-Tai of Canada 7th Dan..his wife Maureen Woon-A-Tai is the 3rd highest female in the JKA 6th Dan

Anybody got any tips on how to do this kata (bassai dai) and make me exert my full potential in it? I do Shotokan. I am a member of the JKA. The name of my Sensei is Amir Khouri 5th Dan. The name of our chief examiner is Frank Woon-A-Tai 7th Dan. He is based in Canada. His team is third in the world and I am honored to be under the command of this prestigious black belt. Here in Guyana the karate is not as popular as in other countries but it is going places. I am a brown belt 2nd kyu. We do not use stripes though. In Guyana this is how we do it: white>yellow>orange>green>purple 1 and 2>brown 1, 2 and 3>black etc. I plan on becoming one of the highest in the country of Guyana and I really want to incorporate Karate into every Guyanese citizen when I become of that status. I have grading in November. Just for the records this post was made in July 2006. Our club membership is divided into children and senior. I am a child of 13. I will become an adult when I am 14. Which happens to be October 31st. I am not very boastful about it but I am one of the best Shotokan 2nd Kyu's in my country. I'd like to become the very very very best I can be. Will you please offer any tips and technical advice on the kata named: Bassai Dai? Thank You very much in advance!

he would be old and wise
