tessone Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I searched and couldn't find a similar question. What is your favorite drill or workout? Today we did calf raises with people mounted on our backs. I didn't think I'd get through 50/50 (50 weighted down, 50 normal), but I did and got a grin out of our teacher when I said, "Too easy, sir!"

G95champ Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 I like and hate squat kicks. Just squat down and come up and kick. Change legs each time you can thow front, side, etc. Its great I think.

karatekid1975 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Kicking the crap outta targets/bags (looking at B.O.B. as I speak ready for a round hehehehe). Warm-up stuff, I like push-ups, sit-ups, and stretching. I hate squat jumps, but I know they will build my calves for doin tricks hehehehehe.

jakmak52 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 My favorite workout is practicing my kata, it helps with my endurance and stamina as well as refining the kata itself. Best regards,Jack Makinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tessone Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 you call your instructor Sir? (or were you being cheeky!?) In KSW, you're supposed to call anyone who outranks you (except color belts) sir. The black belts tend also to call each other sir, regardless of rank. The color belts often do this too. I think it's probably more a reflection of the formal mode used in most Korean speech. Chris TessoneBrown Belt, Kuk Sool Won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
