bushido_man96 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Not everyone wants to but i think everyone has the ability. Ability and natural ability are not one in the same, much like left and right.Ah, well said. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotokanka92 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 id say not to teach them till about 14-16 years of age. thats when kids get more mature and serious. “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” ~ Bruce Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 That is true, but kids can still gain from the exposure. There are literally thousands of kids around the country into Kid's Wrestling, and it benefits them greatly, giving them an outlet for their energy, and providing good exercise. I think that other Martial Arts, like Karate and TKD, can do the same, if approached correctly. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BB of C Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I'd always check and interview anyone of any age to make sure they're qualified to learn martial arts to begin with. Once that's done, I think it's all about discipline and repetition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran-Lilith Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I think women get a bad rep. And im not biased because i'd love to say oh women don't have a kill instinct but, im one of the few that do...trust me i'd love to take that title. But on top of thinking women get a bad rep, some women don't help to shake it...the "oh my God, i just broke a nail" type don't really help us out much. Whatever it comes down to, i don't really care, i am a woman, i can protect myself, and even more than that i have a "Budo" instinct and that's all i care about. I'll survive, so the rest is just whatever it is...Amen, sister!

white owl Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 As for kids being in karate I think it is great. I wish you see more in karate and other activitys, then there would not be so many couch potatoes (that is my nice way of putting it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
