yes that is very true, with this one particular student iam talking about i make sure form is there before power. i dont hit him hard but he absolutely positively makes it out to be more than it is. its actually quite funny because if i actually hit as hard as i could, he would sure as heck know it.

Uhm in my two different styles one is white pants and a white top with everything trimmed in black and then the other one is an all black one. i like the black one and the other one but i like the black pants with the white with black trim top and i like the mix and match look of white top black bottom and black bottom and white top. we dont use any of these, but when i open my own school one day, we'll see.

yes actually it does fuel the fire, and i do it intentionally, heres why...no matter how hard he goes on my he's still going to end up face down on the floor. and youre exactly right, his head is very open and his timing is very off but i know that if i hit him in the head, i would undoubtedly clock him a good one, so i take the path of mental control and dont

hahahhaaaha

Holaaaa!!!!

welcome, thrilled to hear your back in the Arts.

Welcome, im very jealous! I second that^^^^^

yea, my instructors a cop so we have threat levels and how to respond to them spelled out in our manuals. very similar, nice article though.

You cannot forbid little children from going to the toilet. Firstly it's just not right (they have smaller bladders than us) and secondly it will be you that has to clear up the mess when you find the one's that REALLY did need to go to the toilet. Instead you have to find ways to discourage toilet breaks, and also ask beforehand if everyone has gone to the toilet.The thing is, if you constantly allow them to go to the bathroom all of the time, then you will never have a focused class because you will have kids going to the bathroom all of the time. One will go and come back, and then another goes. I have seen this from the outside looking in, and the inside looking out. Kids try us; that is a fact. You mention finding ways to discourage toilet breaks: denying them is a good way to discourage them. It should be established before the kids sign up that toilet breaks should be done prior to coming to class. I honestly don't think that kindey infections are going to be that big of a deal, coming from an hour long class and not using the bathroom. As TangSooDoGuru mentioned, you can really tell with the ones who are serious. In that case, you let them go. But when it continues to happen, something has to be done. BINGO!

welcome. it is a good forum, you'll find plenty to do here!

when do they come? honestly, after you get sick of getting hit pretty much. the natural evasion movement just comes naturally after time.

welcome! wushu's a beautiful art!

without getting into too much chatter, i want to forewarn you, if you want to stay in a decent shape do not go over 2 miles at a decent running pace because i made the mistake of falling in love with running and doing six miles everyday, and got shin splints which are the most unbearable thing to ever have to deal with because its such a high impact area and my doctor told me if i ever want to do anything of the athletic sort ever again, i cannot run more than a mile at a time. and i do cardio about every othe day, just to save my shins and other various body parts, i supplement it with lifting and ab workouts. so its safe to say on the treadmill the most i'd run is a mile but the most effective thing to actually do is put the uphill grade on the highest it can go and walk about a 3.5 speed(usually gets higher as i got along) with ankle weights on, its unbelievable, its alot more low impact than running but you work up a heck of a sweat, and you can feel it tone your calves, glutes, and hams as you go. hope this helped, have fun, happy walking/running!

welcome, very nice video!
