karatekid1975 Posted August 22, 2002 Author Posted August 22, 2002 360, hey I like it here LOL. It's my home state. I'm just teasin Yea, it will (training at my old dojang). Just for the good ol' days Wish me luck (it's tonight). I'll pop in tonight to let you know how it went. Laurie F
karatekid1975 Posted August 23, 2002 Author Posted August 23, 2002 Me again. Hey 360, you were right. It was great. I saw some of my old friends (collected so many emails ). We did a lot of jump kicks (which TSD is famous for). My TKD school doesn't do them hardly, so that was fun. We did one-step sparring and I was so suprised that I remembered all of the ones I knew from 8 months ago. It was cool. I also remembered all my forms. It was nice to go back and hang out with my old dojang friends. We had a blast Laurie F
three60roundhouse Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 [color=indigo]I'm glad you had a good time, karatekid! Although I have never left the dojang for a really long time, whenever I go on vacation for a week or two it feels good to know that I haven't forgotten everything! It must have been cool to see your old freinds. What kind of "jumping kicks" were you referring to? In my TKD class we do a lot of jumping kicks![/color] 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
karatekid1975 Posted August 23, 2002 Author Posted August 23, 2002 360, We did a lot of them LOL. Ok, seriously. We did jump front kicks (jump straight up, bring up both knees and front kick with the back leg), and jump roundhouse (which is similar to jumping with the front kick, but you turn your hip in the air for a roundhouse). We also did "flying" kicks. It's when you run, jump and kick a heavy bag or target. My fav is the flying side kick. Plus we did, what I call, rapid fire kicks. It's when you kick with your front leg several times really fast (usually with a front kick or roundhouse). It was great to see my buds there last night I'm going back in October Laurie F
karatekid1975 Posted August 28, 2002 Author Posted August 28, 2002 Hey all. I'm back home. Camping was great. We had a nice camp site in Vermont, in the mountians. The weather was beautiful. It couldn't have been any better, except I could have stayed longer. It was so peaceful. Laurie F
