Karateka_latino Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 Oh, i have YEARS that i don't compete in tournaments. lol Right now, Im too busy to train for a tournament, i just have time for regular training. Maybe by next year I'll sign in a tournament.
Karateka Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 Good Luck to everyone in the tournament. Don't worry about Kata. See the opponents, not the referees. "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)

moobrack Posted October 31, 2001 Posted October 31, 2001 Not to be picky, , but when we refer to dissing on a computerised forum like this one, it is named 'flaming'.

Slider Posted January 13, 2002 Posted January 13, 2002 Hey guys, Competitions are GREAT! Most competitions are well run, and the staff is quite professional. I highly reccomend the NASKA, or NBL/SKIL tournament circuits myself. No matter what, there will be some funky experiances you will have in the coarse of competiting, but its all in good fun. Depends on how you look at it. Competitions are meant to be fun. Try not to look at them in a bad light if you haven't been to one, or simply didnt bother to compete as much for whatever reason. Not really fair to the tournament, and it competitors. One of the best ways to meet people, and travel is by way of karate competiton, and is an excellent way to meet your fellow martial artists as well. I highly reccomend it, and I encourage ALL my students to compete. Hasta!! Slider http://www.spooxdl.homestead.com/files/slider3.jpg Check out "Koldsteel" Enterprises.
