Karateka Posted August 12, 2001 Posted August 12, 2001 Clubs are clubs. It is the instructors who I like. They are like me second parents. I would go with any of them before any of my relatives. They are plain awesome. They have changed my life more than anything else in the entire planet. I would die for them, cause I know they would die for me. "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)

BlueDragon Posted August 12, 2001 Posted August 12, 2001 My Dojo is alot like DarkMonkey's. The training is varied yet tough and our Sensei is a joker yet a hardass. I guess the only difference is the people. Were all pretty close and were always joshing each other. One of my favorite parts is after working us hard for a few weeks sensei rewards us with "Karate Soccer". It is like reguler soccer but with alot more blood. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" -Hendrix

BlueDragon Posted August 13, 2001 Posted August 13, 2001 Checking is legal, tripping is legal and you can kick whomever has the ball(roundhouse only and not to the face). The hard part is playing outside and barefoot in November. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" -Hendrix

BlueDragon Posted August 14, 2001 Posted August 14, 2001 As a matter of fact I do. My team was awful. In our last game we got killed 96-0. There were maybe three other guys on the team who knew what they were doing. The rest were just rejects from the basketball team. "Excuse me while I kiss the sky" -Hendrix

KickChick Posted August 15, 2001 Posted August 15, 2001 I like how you call it your 'club'. I am from a TaeKwonDo 'school'... Club sounds 'funner' than school! Presently I am not 'training' at the school I belong to...I have about 40 lessons to 2nd deg. but that isn't priority to me...obtaining my Black Belt was...and at age 40 that was a feat! I am not training (4 months now) because I have issues too numerous to go into here, but mainly it is that obtaining your black belt has become increasingly easier since I received mine there. There are so many children getting their black belts at age 10,11 12 - some are exceptional (as was my daughter who was age 12) and others that I personally feel were not ready. I do still teach at the school (tkd and cardio) so I cannot sever my ties, and I am good friends with the sensei's of the school. I will get back into pursuing my 2nd deg. one day I hope! Deby
