December 19, 200619 yr I had my first class in karate last night. It was awsome. I sweat like crazy and it was a great workout. Still trying to figure out how to put the belt on. All in all it was great and I get to go again tonight.

December 19, 200619 yr Glad to see you enjoyed it. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tie+karate+belt&search=SearchFound a couple of videos on YouTube that show you how to tie the belt. I think there's an old post on the forum somewhere about this. There's no place like 127.0.0.1
December 19, 200619 yr Well i had my first class about two months ago and i know how it feels. It took me a while to tie the belt right also. Put the middle of the belt on your belly botton and cross it around your back and when it gets to the front make an x with the right side of the belt on top. Then bring the right side under both parts of the belt then tie it off. the best fight is one that doesnt happen

Then bring the right side under both parts of the belt then tie it off. oh yeah! and during rank test yell keeai reel loud. that impresses them. And if they ask you if you are satified with what you did just then tell them no and ask them if you could do it over again. remember keai real loud the best fight is one that doesnt happen
December 19, 200619 yr Good for you!Remember, as you continue your training, the ultimate key to success in any martial art:PERSISTENCENo matter how tired, bored, or discouraged you might get, don't quit. There will be times you will love karate, and other times where it may seem a chore. Those who reach black belt do so because they followed one basic philosophy: they didn't stop training. Even if you need to take a break, don't quit altogether. If you are in a decent school that has a good reputation, you will never regret it if you just don't quit.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth." Zen Master Nakahara Nantenbo "A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action." Samuarai maxim "Knowing others is wisdom; knowing yourself is Enlightenment." Lao-Tzu
