Montana Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Pertaining to the martial arts....What makes you cry? A student with somuch greatpotential that doesn't take itseriously or give 100%!What makes you smile? A student that suddenly "gets it"!What makes you say "WOW"? When I suddenly "get it"!What makes you pause? Trying to figure out how to get thru to a student that is having difficulty.What makes you angry? Screwing around in class!What makes you laugh? Shen someone, including me, does something really stupid in class, like falling on their rear when they do a kick.What makes you think? I think constantly about the wonders of the arts and what the potential is to inflict injury on others.What makes you try? I want to be better thsi year than I was last year, and to get my techniques crisper, faster and more accurate.What makes you surrender? Sometimes you just have to say that "This student just isn't "getting it" or putting forth sufficient effort and I'm going to have to tell the parents to pull them out of class.What makes you respect? Someone who displays the skills, abilities and attitude that make the martial arts what, in my mind, it should be.Please feel free to add your own questions to mine. If you don't want to stand behind our troops, please..feel free to stand in front of them.Student since January 1975---4th Dan, retired due to non-martial arts related injuries.
yamesu Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 What makes you cry? Sensless violence, innocents getting hurt.What makes you smile? Craking that new technique ive been practicing for ages.What makes you say "WOW"? Jujimufu and Steve Terada still WOW me.What makes you pause? Dehydration.What makes you angry? Senseless violence (its a paradox, I know).What makes you laugh? I try to find humour in just about everything.What makes you think? Just about everything, though Science in particular really works my brain muscle.What makes you try? My own willpower and the want to succeed. I call it the "THIRST".What makes you surrender? Nothing. There is no such thing. Giving up is only detrimental if I dont learn from it, in which case its not really surrederring. What makes you respect? Those who have walked the path before me. "We did not inherit this earth from our parents. We are borrowing it from our children."
bushido_man96 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 What makes you cry?Well, I've yet to cry in relation to MA training. I suppose seeing students lied to by an instructor would do it.What makes you smile?Too see those who enjoy training.What makes you say "WOW"?Some physically impressive techniques, sound or not, make say wow at times. A powerfully executed form will as well.What makes you pause?This question makes me pause....What makes you angry?Scammers.What makes you laugh?Good times and memories with good friends.What makes you think?Forms, self-defense applications, scenario drills.What makes you try?The will to improve.What makes you surrender?No Retreat! No Surrender! What makes you respect?I respect because I was raised to show respect to others, until they do something to deny that. Respect is earned at all levels. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
