Things to avoid doing in a Dojo

[karatekid1975]

How about "under-estimating" a 60 year old 2nd dan female .... Ouch! Yes, I did that last night. She put me down HARD during self defense (take-down part). It's a good thing I knew breakfalls. I needed them working with her!

She never goes easy on me, but last night she went all out on me ... Wow!

i wake up at 4:00 in the morning to do my kata drills with my staff.

unnotice to me there was pather there the whole had not even attack me.

i had not know he was there so anyways i went inside to get glass of water.

an i relize i left my staff outside so as i was about to go get i see the pather out there.

i did not think much because it had not hit me that it was a pather.

i went outside grabed my staff from outside.

then when i got inside it hit that was a pather my staff fell out of my hands.

an ran to the nearest rest because i almost pee my pants.

i came out restroom an ask my aunt mary how long was that pather out there?

she was still very pale an i was not looking much better she bluntly said the whole time.

you think i could not get any more paler but i did i sat down at table.

Doing a kihap (kiai) that sounds like a dead cat or a mouse that got stepped on ..... then again if you want a good laugh out of the others you would

I did that during my grading. I have allergies and they make my voice crack at random times. To my horror, it cracked when I let out a loud kiai after an impressive attack. It ended up sounding very much like a mouse being stepped on. The other blue belt testing with me was having a hard time keeping a straight face.

Never decided that the black belt infront of you is good for target practice.

I've another one for you....

Don't hit your instructor in the face while executing a counter to a two handed choke hold (or shoulder grab) from behind. I was supposed to trap his arms, but ended up smacking him upside the head and nose...... HARD.

His words were that it worked..... he did let go.... which was the correct end result.... but I felt so bad about nailing him, I didn't mean to do that.

never dont pay attention in class.

I was a blue belt in class one day and there was a thunder storm. I stoped to look at the lightning for a second and my insturctor said, "Wow that last lightingbolt was HUGE(or something like that)!" and I said "yeah."

...

Lets just say, I wont do that agian.

don't ask your instructor if you can have nicknames.

had a kid ask that once, and as i try to not laugh at my students, i cracked up...then said no. lol

[NewEnglands_KyoSa]

here's another one: after a while of having a uniform and in dire need of a new one, don't ask your instructor if you could buy a new costume.

had a parent ask me that once, i almost choked her...
