Grenadier Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) I just think about the time when I failed a chodan test, and the comments from one of the panel members. That quickly puts a damper on things. Edited April 22, 2005 by Grenadier
ShotokanKid Posted April 15, 2005 Author Posted April 15, 2005 See, the problem is that I'll keep laughing... specifically during practice (ouch!) "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."
Kieran-Lilith Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Yeah, same here, ShotokanKid. I laugh...during training....training with a BB..... He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful Lao-tsu
Mr. Mike Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I'm actually quie close to my shodan test, and I can't stop the giggles...sound stupid? it is, in a way. I'm a big kidder...can't help it. When a man's fortunate time comes, he meets a good friend;When a man has lost his luck, he meets a beautiful woman.-anonymous
Kieran-Lilith Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 It sounds amusing. My Sensei doesn't seem to mind my constant laughter. It's a few of the other higher ranks that care. Sensei thinks it's really quite amusing when I'm grappling, get pinned, don't feel pain, and so start laughing. (That wasn't my fault, the other Sensei was tickling me!) He seems to find it a perfectly normal, albeit a little odd, thing. Most people are beginning to agree with him though. I still laugh like I'm 4 our something, I'm 15! He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful Lao-tsu
June1 Posted April 16, 2005 Posted April 16, 2005 Man, I think if anything, I need to laugh more. Not during quiet or serious moments, of course, but in general. Kool Kiais: ICE! DIE! KITES! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH! KIAI!"Know Thyself""Circumstances make me who I am."
ShotokanKid Posted April 22, 2005 Author Posted April 22, 2005 Yeah, same here, ShotokanKid. I laugh...during training....training with a BB.....That's the problem, I am the BB... I"m setting a bad example. I just can't stop laughing! "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."
Kieran-Lilith Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Lol. Oh, there I go again. Heh. I'm getting better, at least! As my green belt friend loathes my laughter during class, I do mountain climbers or pushups before the next class to "teach me a lesson". I have yet to learn the lesson. I still laugh. It's all still so funny. But I think Sensei taught me my lesson this time. Popped a bunch of joints out of place in my wrist. I deserved it. No focus, I was laughing, yup, deserved it.The only that works for me so far is breathing. Breathe in, breathe out. Slow, calm, usually works, unless it's just to funny for me to not laugh. He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful Lao-tsu
