SBN Doug Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 I already have a career, so martial arts will not become my career until I decide to retire from what I do now. I may be in a possition to do that some time in my 40s. I do plan to start a 2-3 time a week club in the meantime. I need to work on my teaching skills. Does anyone else find it as much harder to explain how to do something, than it is to do it yourself? Kuk Sool Won - 4th danEvil triumphs when good men do nothing.
Jack Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 Of course it is as first Doug - You understand your own thoughts, but communication them to others is slightly more challenging JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
Karateka Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 I can't decide right now. I have my whole life ahead of me. I am deciding to go to the Military. Whether I have time for Karate is a question. The main thing I want to look at is how much I can learn now and then I look back at the past and see from where I came and how far I came. To make a long story short, I want to do as much as I can so it can benefit me in the future. "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)
SaiFightsMS Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 Yes Doug it can be much harder to explain something to someone else that it is to just do it. It totally amazed me the first time I taught white belts how much I was learning.
Angus Posted December 28, 2001 Posted December 28, 2001 Quit the martial arts? Gees, i don't even remember starting. I guess it comes naturally to me, like breathing, cos i've been in it for 12/13 years, which is as far back as i can remember (i'm 18 btw)... I want to finish my university degree first and maybe do honours, then i want to do a teaching degree and afterwards work as a bouncer/bodyguard for a while. I want to obtain a teaching certificate in this new art i'm doing, Zengoshu Karate, and eventually start up my own full-time dojo. It'd be cool! Karate classes, self-defence classes, women's street defence classes... Ooooooh mumma!! Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.

SaiFightsMS Posted December 30, 2001 Posted December 30, 2001 Oh to be young again. I enjoy your "dreams" and aspirations. This thread is a good complement to the thread in philosophy about dreams.

dtstiachi Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I'm hooked for life. Hopefully one day I can get to the point of mastering the content, but until that day I will take classes to learn and understand my art as best I can. Good luck to all of the Martial Artist out there in the future. "The journey of a 1,000 miles starts with but a single step."
