gojuchad Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 those are very good ideas it is good to keep an open mind. My teacher also encourages us to be creative, we will sometimes train in street clothes, outside in the moutians, so also different clothes and surroundings. Draw close to god, and god will draw close to you. James 4:8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung001 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 those are very good ideas it is good to keep an open mind. My teacher also encourages us to be creative, we will sometimes train in street clothes, outside in the moutians, so also different clothes and surroundings. That's a good point. I could see how teaching students to be aware of the limitation of their clothing, as well as the situation they are in could be a good lesson. Tight jeans could make a world of difference..... I think I see a new lesson for my students. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair? Why didn't you use your karate?"Master: "Hitting him with a chair was the only karate I could think of at the time."Lesson: Practice until you don't have to think.

Sasori_Te Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 I taught/teach situational awareness and training to my students. I personally believe that it's very important to take in your surrounding wherever you may be. I do this without much conscious effort anymore. It's something of an ingrained habit. Here's a recent example that can partially be accredited to situational awareness: A few nights ago my wife, daughter and I went to a reataurant a few miles from our house. We were getting ready to leave. It was my turn to take our daughter to the restroom. Upon exiting the restroom my wife jumps from around a corner to give me and the little one a scare. My reaction was to side step in front of our daughter and back into a cat stance lead hand slightly forward to ward, stepping into a sanchin type stance with the rear hand coming forward with a palm strike. My wife came about 4 inches from being struck in the head before I caught myself. It happened that quick. I don't think she'll be doing tht again any time soon A block is a strike is a lock is a throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasori_Te Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 It's kind of strange too because the only time I ever use palm strikes are when I'm training them with repetitions, and during some self defense scenarios. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
