HI

Our school has a book taht has all things you need to know for a certian belt. I have a notbook of combos and stuff for katas that i never make up. but our school doesn't require.

Hello. Sounds like you enjoy MA all around

I was just wondering do any of the users come from the smae dojo as others. I know of two from mine.... Monkeygirl, Jake, and I (benedictbm) all come from the same dojo. I think our Chief Instuctor checked the site out along with some other teaching members.

What monkeygirl said.... And just listen to different stuff. Stay away from country( in all my school bus riding days 9 years of everyday country) i havent one song that woul work for a kata. Somtimes with rap you have to be carful of the lyrics.. well with everyhting you do. So if it is something like Wipeoout it is a lot easier only one or two words in the whole thing no swearing. If you have a favorite song sometime you could make a kata up to fit that song. it works well if you really enjoy the song and your MA.

I respct the opinion but that is not how i feel. I think she did something outstanding and that like most people in history she was "at the right place at the right" if you could sa. I am not saying that her getting arrested was right.

That is good i learn better that way. learn the harder/new moves in a weapons kata(or any katafor that matter) and then pice it together like a puzzle. learn move by move. i like being taght this way.

I was just wonderring what eveyone does other than MA? or if MA is your life what would you do other than that? I.... play baseball skateboard ( or at least try to) Read i like tom clancy and Douglas Adams(thanks for introducing me to those books monkeygirl) Listen to music sleep Get on here Run/jog Drafting I enjoy math but rarely do it outside of school unless i am trying a new type of problem. Last just spend quality time with my family

When it isnt baseball season (march-jun) i am at my school teching 5 days a week and taking classes 3 of those 5. The teaching helps keep my stuff sharp. Out of my dojo sat. and sun. are good practice days. In the morning after i run and excercise a little i do about 15 min worth of ma practice or until i have to get ready for school.

ok i dont know that much about the termonology in ma other than my school's....what is a training book? sorry for the inconvience.

i dunno who would win. I havent seen very much of lee. I would go with lee though. I have heard many good things about him. i think jackie is good but has done movies with more choreography(SP?) and would that would prolly be a disadvantage to him.

i am gonna watch it this week. i have been busy lately. i prolly will watch it untill the season is over because i dont do much on sunday nights.

I love this movie. Everytime i am bored i search for it on Comcast. As said the fight scenes are great and i like the story. I also like that after i few times of wathcnig it i tried out the moves now when it is on i try them.. it is fun standinng your yard practicing and have people looking at ya like your from another planet. sometimes people have actually pulled in and asked what i was doing.

I think Kar (forget his real name) did well for lil MA training. Bad Girl though could have been better. the srotryline is kinda cool. I would give it a 4 out of 5 as a movie but as ma i would go 2 or 2.5 ( i have watched to many jackie and bruce lee movies) it takes a lot for me not to like a movie. i havent come across a movie i would never watch again. This is one i may watch on comcast if they get it and prolly not get the DVD/ movie. Although i wouldn't mind seeing the behind the scenes

I started using a bo staff when i was a green belt (7th kyu). I started swining a stick around when i was about 4 or 5. usually of i call my bo anything it is out of anger ( either dropped it or hjit my head...yea i know it is my fault not the bo's)

Football- Rudy and The story of Texas A & M team on ESPN Baseball- Angels in the Outfield Basketball- Celtic Pride Golf- Happy Gilmore MA- Rocky and The Legend of the Drunken Master... Karate kid when i was younger (gets old after the 40th time watching it....i actually started count when i was 5 i am close to 40 times)

same thing jake said. I am Asst. Insturcotor. (in my sig o well) I love teaching but as of late baseball and school have kept me away from my dojo

Hey welcome to KF If ya want take about 10 degrees from my area ( can't stand heat)

lol. my pets do that sometimes

is it just me or do i smell sarcasim

the thought never really crossed my mind until i came across this thread. I don't wash my belt.

when i get home i wash my gi ASAP. Then when it is clean i put it on roll the sleeves.pant legs to a comfortable legnth and hang it up until the next class.

Congrats to you and your son. one step closer to Blackbelt.

My favoprite kata has been our school's 1st dan kata k-beck. Ever since the first time i saw it there was just something about it. Before i achieved 1st dan my favorite kata was Pin Yon 2. Now that i am a 1st dan i am doing K-beck all the time. PS-Monkeygirl i thought you would have said something about T.K.1 T.K. 1= Tournament Kata 1 or Thompson's Kata 1 (monkeygirl can clear the meaning up) that is for our blackeblt club (elite students) that is also where all of our students learn weapons.
