Your teacher's favorite phrase...


Recommended Posts

I just remembered a couple. My instructor "kihaps" to signal for the next move in a form or for the next technique. One guy Kihap so loud that we moved. He said, " That Kihap didn't have an accent (my instructor is Chinese)." LOL He says that a lot now hehehehe.

He likes saying "What?!?!?!" if we don't kihap or answer him loud enough LOL

"Everything plus GST." - for every hit you get give it back with an extra 10%

"30 more seconds" - said about 3-4 times before its actually true

"I was just testing you" - when makes a mistake

"you're going to get hit anyway, you may as well hit them back"

"you can feel (deal with) pain after we finish"

"how you train is how you fight"

"if they drop their hands, hit them" - padwork

oh man, Sensei has so many...

"he can't count to 21 unless he drops trow"

"he's a perfect example for retro active birth control"

"I have 3 ft of hair, a hunk of rock in my ear, 13 tatoo's, PTSD (post tramatic stress disorder {he was a spook in vienam}) and i'm telling you..... YOU"RE WEIRD"

"Now this isn't a dictator ship it's a democracy,..... But ya have to be a 7th degree to get to vote!"

And whenever he gets a complaining parent he looks at them inquisitively and asks, "Remind me, What style do YOU have a black belt in again?"....They usually sit down and shut up at that point.

hmmm, Did I mention Sensei isn't Politically correct?

Sensei Rick...I wanna meet your instructor! We sound much alike ;-)

My Father is my instructor, so I get to hear a LOT of things over and over. Once at a tourny, my opponent busted me with a spinning heel kick to the head and almost KO-ed me, and my dad came running. as I was getting up, hoping the guy was gonna get disqualified, he whispered a little bit of wisdom in my ear, "Learn to block."

He's very fond of telling up to do pushups "until the dojo floor is 6 inches lower."

He also likes using old baseball phrases retrofitted to Martial Arts...the old one by Yogi Berra is a favorite "you can't think and fight at the same time."

Also, during sparring sessions, we often get REALLY lax with the discipline and just have some fun. Dad will thump you with a backfist (at about Mach2) and just say "how ya like me now?"

" I want you to kick/punch so hard that it would make my hair blow in the wind" ... he's bald :lol:

My sensei says exactly the same!

My sensei also says "Guys" alot like:

"Hey Guys, Now, 20 Pushups guys then 40 Mai-gerri's guys"

(Of course he doesnt ACTUALLY say it that much.. Lol)
