blitzcraig Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 I still like the silent/stern approach too.....it makes them curious as to "just what your thinking..." #1"The road to tae kwan leep is an endless road leading into the herizon, you must fully understand its ways". #2"but i wanna wax the walls with people now" #1"come ed gruberman, your first lesson is here.....boot to the head" #2"ouch, you kicked me in the head", #1"you learn quickly ed gruberman"
ramymensa Posted March 7, 2004 Posted March 7, 2004 When sparring with a low rank, I try to motivate him, not to scare him. I was very afraid when started karate. They are not. They are relaxed and I don't want to ruin theit confidence right away, because I know how hard was for me to get pass the fear. I try to aply my techniques and guide them at the same time, allowing them even to aply something just to get the hang of it. I'm not there to win a cup, but to learn and help others learn. When sparring a high rank I just do my job, kick, punch, try my stuff and keep the ears open for some tips and information. World Shotokan Karate
