What do you like doing in class?

[Kickbutt]

Hello!

 

I'm just curious as to what you all enjoy to do in your classes. I personally love when we do circuit training, where we can do some of everything and it keeps it really interesting. We do everything from targets (holder calls out combos), bagwork (use all you techniques), sit-ups using the medicine ball, practice your kata and ipon kumite, pus-ups...and lots of others! What do you all enjoy doing?

Kumite, Bag Work, Pad Work, Unusual techniques, Long Combinations, Advanced Kata(karate), take downs, ground fighting, throws, Bunkai(application, and just plain old basics and kata.

 

Pretty much everything!

I can answer this question best when asked the opposite ..."What is it you do not like to do in class?"..

 

I like doing forms, floor techniques/combos,

 

target shield kicking, board breaking, no gear one step sparring and full gear SPARRING!!!!! I enjoy circuit training but we don't do that very often...I will have to request it!

 

Usually what you dislike is what you find you are not that proficient at....and mine is jump kicks. What we usually do at our school is line up folding chairs or stack target shields one on top of each other...(my max. is 5 bags,jumping almost my waist high) but I've seen double that done. Chairs is another thing...it really is a mental block for me...the height and distance is really the same but... chairs = hard and target shields = soft. Pain is the mental block.

 

Its not only the technique but the power of the mind to see oneself follow thru and complete.

It is when the student approaches black belt that the serious student discovers that he has only just begun his study of Karate

like to spar and learn new things while getting beter at other moves and quicker!!

[kickbuttnat]

i like bag and pad work, circuits, beating the c"£p into the dummy named Bob, sparring, partner work...........there isn't much i dislike, yet line work sometimes gets a little monotinous, yet it has to be done! i prefer to be in the action, rather than imagining or pretending i am!

[winterkarate]

now i dont know anything about k'boxin but is line work like basics in karate? if so i'd rather be fighting too.

Why Not Kickbutt? it can be fun lol OKay let me make you an offer you won't refuse.. I'll let you attack me on the first round and i won't attack, just defend ... you can maybe knock me out

[Kickbutt]

Well - OK Submission Fighter LOL - but since you grapple and I don't, I'm gonna give it all I got - and I hit HARD and I'm used to sparring with guys, so you asked for it!! Hehe...but you'd still kick my butt, I'm sure, cause I'd be toast when you'd get me on the ground grappling!
