evergrey Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Haha! Thank you so much phoenixfire! I do hope I don't get in trouble with that blog of mine, but sensei does read it. He has the right to tell me to edit or remove anything on there, but he never has asked me to.Sensei accidentally impaled my lip on one of my front teeth (grrr overbite) when he jabbed and I dodged the first jab then ran my face into the second one. Oooops!I'm very grateful for sensei's patience, and everything he does for me. http://kyokushinchick.blogspot.com/"If you can fatally judo-chop a bull, you can sit however you want." -MasterPain, on why Mas Oyama had Kyokushin karateka sit in seiza with their clenched fists on their thighs.

phoenixfire Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Oooohhhh, hope the lip is ok everygrey! I know how that feels! Fortunately I haven't had any "serious" injuries, unlike my mother who had her toe broken off! That's a long story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade96 Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'm a Karate gal Studying 1 year now and my bf is a Sandan in our dojo. Like other people said its great when both partners in a couple are into the martial arts. =] Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.You don't have to blow out someone else's candle in order to let your own flame shine.

I really need to stop blocking with my face... http://kyokushinchick.blogspot.com/"If you can fatally judo-chop a bull, you can sit however you want." -MasterPain, on why Mas Oyama had Kyokushin karateka sit in seiza with their clenched fists on their thighs.

Shizentai Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 What!? I leave the computer for a month and the most awesome thread topic ever appears!?! It's nice to see that there are so many other female karate-ka on these forums!There are many strong women in the dojo where I train today, but I've also trained in places where I was the only woman as well. I have to admit that I enjoy both training environments. Each has its benefits for a female karate-ka in my opinion.On the note of dating other martial artists, it never worked out for me. They always tried to compete over something silly like pushups or situps or ranks and I'm not really into that kind of thinking. My current boyfriend is not a martial artist at all (though I did meet him kind-of indirectly because of karate) and he's perfect for me I think. The best person in the world.

mindsedgeblade Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Not female myself, but there are several at the new school. Two instructors, at least two 2nd/3rd dans, and a host of little ones in the kids' class. At the old school, there were two instructors and one in training for black belt, and a few off-and-on gups.You know, there were more women in my karate school than all of my engineering and math classes for a given year combined... The best a man can hope foris, over the course of his lifetime,to change for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
