I totally agree with starting with the bo.

Why is it that the only people that fart, are the people with stinky farts?

IN your organization do you practice kobudo(weapons)? Or do you just do empty hand stuff.

Well, my teacher is about to move. But since I love karate so much, and I am highly involved with it, I don't think it should matter. If you really enjoy karate, that is what should get you going.

I am currently a 5th kyu. Promotion will be the 29th for me. I will be on the 4th belt from shodan. I do it cause I love it. It is something different from day to day life. I am in an Okinawan style, originated from the old Shuri-te style.

Oh, of course there is much more to recieving your shodan than x classes. You must earn it. We are tested very presicely, we must even know the history of our org. it must seem easy to recieve our belts. But I must say we earn it, not buy it.

It will be maybe two years total for my Shodan. In my system we go by hours that you have made. It is in fact shorter than alot of systems but, I go to almost all classes possible. I have 4 colors to go through until I get my shodan, the last few take a while, but I know I will reach them fast because of all the classes I go through. don't blame me cause I love karate, and I missing it.

Hey Jules, welcome, I, you know, am also in AOSKKF, it is a traditional style from Okinawa. I love being in it. I too am sorta close to my shodan, will be promoted to my 4th kyu, hopefully, this month. Talk to yah later. :pony:

thanks y'all, for welcoming me.

5th kyu in AOSKKF nearing my 4th kyu this month. (All Okinawan Shorin-Ryu Karate and Kobudo Fed.)

I know people from okinawa, and they are so precise at their kata, it is like perfect, if they mess up, they make it look good.

Nope I am from Oregon, but I look through the internet on karate. I like to study the other types. I still like mine though.

thanx IAMRUSHMAN

push ups! Long range weight lifting

I think it will affect your skills slightly. I know!

I don't like the thought of body building cause it makes your body bulky.

Quote: It also lowers a kids self esteem. So true, especially in the teenage years. We definetly need to get rid of fast food. Replace them with health food products. Do it slowly so no one notices. Get rid of the bad stuff from the stores, there are good tasting HEALTHY stuff.

I know I am over weight for my height and age, I have tried endlessly to loose weight. I still haven't. :pony:

I study an okinawan style, the head student tells the class to line up, we line up by rank. Then the sempai or cohai says:(in Japanese) Line up! Turn around and straiten you gi and obi. Face the front. Sit. Bow to teacher, saying please teach us.. Stand. Bow and say konichiwa, or kombawa. Then class starts. We end the same way. Only saying saionara. And thanks for teaching us. It is formal. Ettiquet is very important in our system.

I started at 15 and learn much faster than a young person. And I also feel that I understand more than they will at a young age. But they may be able to do things better or worse. It just depends.

I started karate about a year ago, but I am very close to my shodan. I am in the org.:aoskkf. I love it. Very fun and not too hard. I hope to meet people and talk to them about karate and also kobudo.
