I would wear jeans and a t-shirt. the only problem with those clothes are the jeans. it limits the height of my kicks.

The "Embarassing Karate Story..." Thread

nunchucks hmmmmm........ a very interesting weapon. dangerous for the enemy and dangerous for the controler of the weapon -
Well my style was the only one available in the are that i knew of, but once i started going there the instructor told me of a jeet kune do instructor downtown where i will go as soon as i get black belt in shotokan, which will take a long time, but hopefully not too long.

I think that sparring is a very important part of martial arts, but we are really not going to fight like that for real, but it does teach us how to better move and better fight.

Who is your "mentor" in MA??
a_ninja replied to karatekid1975's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
my cousin. He is the one who got me started in martial arts. People think he doesnt know anything because he has never been to a school, but he does. He learned from books to start off and then he met some different people who knew different martial arts and learned from them. He is still in the process of teaching me because we dont get to see each other alot anymore. Also my karate teachers are my mentors, but that is self explanitory. -

Never, if you lose your temper you could lose your focus and eventally lose the fight.

Rank
a_ninja replied to ShadowFox's topic in MMA, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Competitive Fighting
I think you should do the tournament so next time you take it at a higher level you will know what youre doing. -
It will have sparring open hand kata, and weapons kata as far as i know. For my open hand i will be doing heyon Nidan(It means peacful mind kata 2 but im not sure i spelled it right)Which is a open hand kata, and a Bo Staff kata, bo form 1 it has and authentic name, but its too hard to remember. I will also be competing in sparring which i think is my best bet.

I have a tournament saturday and im kind of nervous. I dont know how things will go. but i am confident that i will rank high in the sparring part of the competition, because one day in karate class we started sparring and they put me up against a brown belt (im a yellow) and i beat him!!! Well guys any advice before i go?

I dont agree with wearing a body sheild. Just my opinion

training: heavy bag or Century BOB(standing dummy)
a_ninja replied to poisendhearts's topic in Equipment and Gear
I think you should get a hevybag. I dont know why, but the heavybag has just always worked out for me. -
Kool congrats, hope it will last long enough for you.
-
Im not sure were you can find one with open fingers exept online, but i know that century has gloves that provide satisfactory protection, but with closed fingers.

I have one girl in my dojo that wears martial art shoes, but my instructor doesnt mind which we chose, but most people are in bare feet

I think it was either a chinese broad sword or a fantasy one
