Andrew_Patton Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 um, bassically I'm from the same lineage, but my instructor (Tadashi Yamashita, 9th dan) has recently decided to differenciate himself from sensei nakazato. But I still consider myself part of Nakazato's students.
JimmyNewton Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 when you were talking about "politics" earlier.what did you mean really, because i guess i'm put of the loop "The wise and successsful will always be met with violent opposition by mediocre minds."
AirBorne-karateka Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 One of my old instructors is still under mr yamashita, small world It is necessary to drink alcohol and pursue other fun human activities. The art (i.e. karate) of someone who is too serious has no "flavor." -motobu
AirBorne-karateka Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 with so many schools of the same liniage around here it makes the shorinkan almost political for camps and tournaments, it has become who you know and are friends with as opposed to what you know when dealing with progression It is necessary to drink alcohol and pursue other fun human activities. The art (i.e. karate) of someone who is too serious has no "flavor." -motobu
AirBorne-karateka Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 and actualy one of my favorite things with the bo is yamashita no kun. It is necessary to drink alcohol and pursue other fun human activities. The art (i.e. karate) of someone who is too serious has no "flavor." -motobu
steelhead Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Andrew Patton, do you train with Julie Fung?
JimmyNewton Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 but i still dont kno what you mean by political? "The wise and successsful will always be met with violent opposition by mediocre minds."
Andrew_Patton Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 To Steelhead: Actually I've trained with many people but I don't recall that particular name. The instructors I've trained with are; Bill Snyder, Jerry Wrobeleski, Daryl Smith, Phil Saur, Patrick Calhoun, John Sorg, Teru Hendry, and Neil Stoslmark. Wow, I've done quite a bit of dojo hopping in my days. I've yet to train with Julie Fung though.
steelhead Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Andrew_Patton:Our dojo is also under Stolsmark for both karate and kobudo see: https://www.aaakaratemn.com Are you going to his SuperSaturday event in February? I asked about Julie Fung since she is also one of his students and she teaches in Michigan - Midland I believe.
Andrew_Patton Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 oh, no no no steelhead, I'm not under Sensei Stolsmark, used to be, but... well, I guess this needs slight clarification. Sensei Neil was, about four or five years ago, a student of my sensei Yamashita, and due to something, I don't really care what, he left Yamashita sensei's tutelage. He is a great teacher and fantastic karate-ka though. No, I'm not going to Sensei Stolsmark's Super Saturday event. I actually have to go to Florida to test for rank in front of Sensei Yamashita. Plus, it gives me an excuse to get to someplace (A lot) warmer.
