Proof is On the Floor!

[rayjag]

I do have to ask what the 3 ks are? Kicks Katas and something else?

[bushido_man96]

Kihon, Kata, and Kumite.

Basics, forms, and sparring, in English .

[sensei8]

where does the "dumb" come in in sparring?

Doh! It should read....DUMP. [i'll go fix that right now] Thanks for spotting that!

[sensei8]

Never mind...I just realized that I can't fix my spelling boo-boo.

[Patrick]

I went ahead and took care of that. Thanks.

A very insightful read, thank you Sensei8.

Outstanding post sir. follows right along with how I was trained. Hard to keep in mind at times, but very important. The only thing I'd add to your rules for the floor sensei8 is this:

-Things from off the floor don't matter/exist when you're there.

I always tell my guys that any problem, social standing, personal disagreement that happens on the outside of the line(we've a taped line to define the 'floor') stay on that side of the line. We're there for training and truth.

That's a good point, too. I find that when I get off to training, I don't really have to remind myself of that, though. I just get into the training, and everything else goes away for an hour or so.
