Zaine Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 or your thinking of a song and the teacher asks you something and your quote the song.

Ironberg Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 The last time I drifted off was when the lecture was during a stretching session. That gorgeous girl was next to me.

Orion Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I usually think... When when he does it does it look like that but when I do it, it looks totally different. Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarateK Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Am going to be a typical girl now - I am usually thinking during stretching that I hope I look semi-decent!! And I try not to let anyone stand behind me or else they will get a total eclipse lol!!Am quite competitive as well - so tend to be hoping that my techniques look as good as/better than the women stood next to me.

Kieran-Lilith Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 "I'm hungry...." this is normally at about 8 pm, and I've had dinner, but it sure doesn't seem like it by that time.

DragonMike Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 When I get distracted I tend to think about what its going to be like the next time I go to a tournament. 5th Dan Tang Soo Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit At Choice Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Whenever we're doing nonstop punches or something like that and there's no set number or time limit, I think/sing a rythmic song. My most recent favorite is "Do you know the muffin man?" I'll be sitting in a horse stance, punching, punching, punching, and inside my head I'll be singing, "Do you know the muffin man, the muffin man, the muffin man...." to the beat of my punches. Yes, I know it's weird. But hey, it works. (Most of the time. A couple of times I think I was actually singing out loud... how humiliating! ) Ha, ha, ha! I start chanting, "You've got to BE agressive, BE-BE aGRESsive!" striking harder on the accented syllables. One time I got caught chanting out loud, and Sensei (who had come up behind me) says loud enough for the whole dojo to hear, "You can't just *say* it, you gotta DO it!" White belt mind. Black belt heart....Rejoice and be glad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryuaaron Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 When I get distracted, I am usually thinking about a work-related deadline or what I'm going to have for dinner afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohan Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Although my dojomates are my friends, I constantly am sizing them up in my mind to determine what, where and how I would strike them if we were to do battle.I would only desire that they would be doing the same with regards to me. In an odd way to me this demonstrates the respect we have for each other. Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."
