Yawning! cause burbbees.

Senpai Brenda what did you do now? who did you hit in the groin or face?

When bowing before you enter a room beside the dojo. I bow before intering a my kitchen and again intering my bathroom.

Welcome!

Ok!

Funny!

I said I would not have another dog after my lab died, he was my baby. I called him my first born. I told my husband before we got married that he was not moving me away with out a dog. He brought me home a dog next time he came home on leave. Then where my husband works at now had a german shepherd puppy running wild there and they called in a dog catcher to trap her but he manage to trap her in a room and brought her home about a 6months after we got her my lab start to feel his years and his health went down hill and he passed away and she morn. If it was not that we already had her I really do not think I would of got another dog. Now I got 2. My son wanted a dog that was not scared of him and that would play with him.

Congrats on your purple belt shotokan. Tori, sorry to here about your hand, but glad to here it is getting better. Ya, I here you. The here the same thing about being woman and I'm to old to being training (34), and bruises on a woman are not flattering. I've actually been stared at and asked if everyting is all write with my husband and I because of some of my bruise I have worn and to let you know I do not bruise easly. I have went to class with a sore back from and old injury that happen before karate but going to class helps work it out. I have went karate not feeling well from being sick and pms . I try not to let anyting stop me from attending class. My family (not my husband) thinks I'm obsessed with it.

Congrats! Well done.

Yes I agree with tiger1962, check with your doctor just to be safe, but this problem usally happens to new people to ma. Ma is very demanding of your body, it take alot out of you if you practice hard and you are not use to it. But there are rewards at the end of the day. mine are usally new bruises,lol.

It really depends on what day of the week it is but here I go: Warm ups little cardio or endurance training pad hitting or bag hitting partner drills or praticing kata's or stance drills or break falling or practicing self defense sparring (it could be point sparring or kick boxing or boxing or sparring for rounds or grapple sparring)

Does the girl on walker texas ranger do that kick I think her name is Mia Peeples?

I do agree with Tori on this one. I have also seen this with children to, they look to their parents to get there ok before doing anything, or just having parents interference, (I use to be one , until I seeen that he does better if I leave him alone and I had it happen to me when I instructed class I found out that it is pretty rude and it feels awfull and I have appologised to my sensei 10 folds now I bite my tongue an boy does it bleed)and as a parent we seem to be hard on our kids when we help or instruct class, so I recommend you not to help, at least for a little while.

Congratulations to all of you!

Crate training is great. It is said that alot of dogs aggression is penned up energy from lack of exercise.

I have 9 month old German Shepard, had the chewing on every thing including me Bitter Apple spray works well if you rember to apply it everyday. And handing them there chew toy when they try to chew on you. Now my rugs on the other had are different story it is my older but flighter German Shepard that does that and I can not correct her for it, because she is scarred of everything, she had a bad start in life before we got her. Crate training is great, my younger German Shepard has the winning all night syndrome to so she is in the garage at night we still can hear her sometimes so I'm guessing since it is sometime she is getting better. we tryed to bring in the house at night over the summer but she would here my other dog moving around or drinking or eatting and start barking. so she went back out to the garage. I would not recomend giving your dog and article of your clothing because the next thing you know they are getting in to your dirty clothes and chewing them up because you established it is are right you gave me that sock or that shirt, just a thought. As for weeing going pretty good (knock on wood) when she gets excited we have a little dribble like when we but on her pincher and leash or on our way to the door when it has been a couple of hours. But I read a article and our dog trainer agree with this that a dog is not completly potty train until they are over a year old. As for getting on furniture you have to enforce it. when they get on it get them off and say off or know. My dog has a bad habit of jumping on me when she greets me I do not mind it but if my 70 something grandmother would come over I do not want her to jump on her thats rude so I have a word off and she does pretty good with that. It is hard to train it when I do not get a lot of company with being so buzy in all. But I use the same principle with the furniture. Ido not have a problem with my couch it is me that she like sit on, she think she is a 100 pound lab dog.

Looks good!

Ya it looks pretty good, have not seen Order of the Phonix yet.

I am a big disney movie fan so I will most likely take my son to see it.

How cute, animals are so amazing.

A cheap Gi like karate depot. But I have a heavey weight one that is called Pirhan Gear, I like it a lot just to heavey to wear to work. I wear it for tournaments.

If cost is a concern I think the womans gi's are relatively expensive they are sold separatly and I think you will still have the same problem. But I could be wrong. I know when my first sensei ordered my gi he ordered my gi way to big so it was constantly up around my neck. so I ordered another one and it is not quite as bad but when you are constantly being pulled and tugged on it is hard to tell.

Its pretty upsetting I wonder where Gina will go.

I was little dissapointed it was not worth me buying it. I also bought Never Back Down to which it is not worth buying. I agree joesteph maybe alright for renting.

Ya, I hope the fighting is not to cheesy. Like the movie "never back down" the fighting was not to bad but the story line was terrible.
