Your teacher's favorite phrase...


Recommended Posts

Not from my sensei, but one of other instructors:

"Pain is your friend" and "Can I borrow you for a moment?"

Not a couple of phrases you want coming from the same guy. :karate:

With respect,

Sohan

I'd have to say that my instructor's favorite/most used is "Freeze!"

Either she's got more than two eyes, or has the world's best peripheral vision, and has used this term to do everything from saving a student from having his wrist broken in joint-lock practice to catching where you're making your mistake in a technique right at the split-second you're doing it.

Sixth sense in there, too? :wink:

My old instructor used to say "this isn't ballet!"

A couple weeks ago I was working with some white belts and some of the younger ones were moving around a bit when they were supposed to be standing still in ready position. So I said "stand still or you'll be doing 100 push-ups!". One kid answered up "really?". And I found myself saying "Of course, this isn't ballet!"

He also used to say that someone "emailed" rather than telagraphed it. Modernizing the term for the youngins I guess.
