Favorite Place to Practice

[Chuilli, Kyo Sah Nim]

i love the dojo with others and by myself, but i must say the beach is my absolute favorite place to practice quietly by myself.

I love to train outdoors...but a formal dojo is sweet too! I am opening a new school next week that I hope will have the sense of formal/traditional while being modern at the same time. Although, no matter where you train you can carry that feeling with you....and I hope to instill that into my students.

I like formal dojos and the casual 'MMA' style gym. Some may say that they are opposite environments but they both represent an important aspect of martial arts in my opinion.

I know traditional dojos are awesome or dojang in my situation but i reeally love the outdoors, especially parks. With all the fresh air, sunlight, breeze, and nice green grass..its the ultimate feeling of calmness and relaxation one should have when learning martial arts even though i hardly get to do this.

I'd like to "practice" at the dojang but that's pretty much off-limits when class isn't in session. I'd also like to practice in my home but I don't have enough room in any one place to do say forms. I usually end up practicing in a piece of the backyard mostly out of sight of the neighbors.

I think if i trained outdoors and was seen i would probably get mobbed by youths lol, although i have been very tempted to video myself doing kata in a nearby field.

I do prefer training in the dojo though and when i can at home.

heheh, that is so true though...i don't really practice if there are people around...

I love sparring and weapons practice outdoors. As for learning, I like to in a school setting.

I used to practice blocks and strikes while I walked laps around my work at break time until I found out some people were starting to think I had some kind of mental disorder.

1. In a room with other students.

2. Anyplace where I am not disturbed.
