Blade13 Posted February 6, 2002 Posted February 6, 2002 Ive got to do a poetry project for my advanced literature class. We have to find a poem, and act it out. I would like to do one on something Im passionate about, so that would be....martial arts *gasp!* lol. So, do any of you know of some poems about martial arts? Thanks in advance.

three60roundhouse Posted February 7, 2002 Posted February 7, 2002 What martial art are you in? that way i'll find a good one for you. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
Blade13 Posted February 7, 2002 Author Posted February 7, 2002 Im not in one. My family taught me military techniques and the rest I learned on my own. Ive won tournaments in the black belt division tho! hehe Any martial art will do. Something involving wing chun, muay thai, ninjutsu, capoeira, or jeet kune do would be nice though. Thanks! Those are my five favorites and the ones I would like to train in formally.
Buddha Posted February 16, 2002 Posted February 16, 2002 geez, i'm a poet, but i'd find it hard to do anything with martial arts though... and it is something that i am quite passionate about. when would you need this by? buddha forum.fulldvdreview.comA Meeting Place For DVD Freaks

Jack Posted February 17, 2002 Posted February 17, 2002 I think mastertae has written quite a few short one in this forum... try checking the Taekwondo and Kung Fu sections for some of his posts JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
Blade13 Posted February 18, 2002 Author Posted February 18, 2002 Urgh, sorry it took so long for me to reply. I already have a poem now. Its due on tuesday, haha. Ive been working on how to act it out. Thanks for all your help.
KickChick Posted February 18, 2002 Posted February 18, 2002 Sorry .... I just saw this post! I love this poem ... 'That I Clench My Fist' poem symbolizes what it is to be a black belt and not just to wear one! http://www.taekwondobible.com/poems/poem(1).htm Enjoy!!
Blade13 Posted February 19, 2002 Author Posted February 19, 2002 Well, I can honestly say that everyone in my english class thinks I suck at martial arts now. haha I got nervous and screwed up SO badly!!! It was brutal. My friend who has seen me do these forms flawlessly had his head in his hands cuz he didnt want to see it. Oh the horror! I forgot some of the words and had to make up part of the poem during the presentation. Luckily, no one had heard of the poem, so no one noticed that part, lol. It was Five Forms Fist by Hanshi Tom. It was about the five animals of Shaolin kung fu. And to add to the agony, I FORGOT MY FORMS! lol I had to totally improvise on just some tricks that kinda looked like they fit into the poem. Argh, I hope nothing like that ever happens again. Ive only been nervous while performing twice in my entire life (counting today). *shudders* Maybe they thought it was a drunken form...
