Do you guys eat want you want, or do u have some sort of diet to acommodate your training??? Personally I dont think twice about what I eat. (if u want it eat it )
If they are jerks they aren't worth your attention my freind. How often do u train btw?? At this level u should train 3-4 times a week.In my club the instructors, give self defence seminars in addition to the regular karate training. (for beginners) cause it does take some time and effort to reach the level, where you'r training will give you an advantage.
UM...Freindly, naive,stupid,smart,paranoid,extreme,couragous,reckless,warm,cold,racist, diverse,skinny,fat,short ,tall,bold,bald,hairy,funny,curious,nosy . Do u mean how we regard american society, or americans as stereotypes?
If you get involved dircetly, the situation could escalate in an unfortunate manner. Some of these kids/teenagers could be armed. As KSN Doug said you should do something, but physical involvement is not the way to do it. This is a job for the headmaster at your school. Yor focus should be on him, and his effort in this matter, for the time being. How old are these kids btw?
First of all: If you simply just don't tell anyone (that you pracice karate) there won't be a problem. as for getting your yellow belt, that doesnt really matter. The thing that does matter however is how well you instructor have prepared you for situations where self defence can become necesarry. In generall i dont think that karatekas at a yellow belt level are proficient fighters.
