monkeygirl Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 Are you from a relaxed dojo? Can you do stupid things and get nothing more than a funny look? Well so am I! Lately, I've been wondering what exactly it would take (apart from downright disrespectfulness) to lose a belt... Like taking a bo and lightly tapping your instructor on the head with it, saying "bonk on the head!" and running away...? What would you do?? 1st dan & Asst.

benedictbm Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 i would sneeze on the instructor on purpose.... monkeygirl and i were talking baout it
LeaF Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 Like taking a bo and lightly tapping your instructor on the head with it, saying "bonk on the head!" and running away...? OMG I don't think even a 4 year old would get away with this. I like my sensei alot but we definity do not have this kinda of relationship. And how is this not disrespectful? My sensei has taken belts away for short periods of time and returned them later. The most common thing is if you leave your belt at the dojo by accident. Don't expect to get it back for at least a couple of months (may only be weeks depending on what rank you are ). It shows complete irresonsibilty.

monkeygirl Posted September 1, 2002 Author Posted September 1, 2002 by disrespectful i meant coming up to your instructor and screaming at him.... Bascially I'm looking for goofy things, not mean.

John G Posted September 1, 2002 Posted September 1, 2002 Every once in a while (Not intentionally) I have a stupid grin on my face whilst we are all reciting the student oath, this in general gets the instructor going with an bigger grin than mine which in turn sets the rest of the class off giggling with tears of laughter streaming down their faces. We (my instructor and I) try to avoid eye contact at all costs whilst reciting the student oath. John G Jarrett III Dan, ITF Taekwon-Do

Son of Scran Posted September 4, 2002 Posted September 4, 2002 Turn up to a class in a rabbit suit, with your martial arts uniform over the top, and refuse to recognise that there's anything wrong? ( One warning, those things can get really hot ) Try as I might, I just cannot think of a witty signature.
