CheekyMusician Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 Heehee. I've got my own "dojo"! My dad was going to convert the loft into a room for my sister but decided against it, then he was going to make it into a gym for me, my sis and mum, but my sis and mum decided they wouldn't go up there because of the spiders and the fact that you have to climb into it using ladders. So finally, after my dad had raised the beams a little, floored it and cleaned up some of the junk in it, he bought a punchbag and we fitted it to a beam yesterday. Well it aint exactly the Hilton, and there's not even enough room to practice a kata, but there's enough room to kick and punch away till my hearts content, and since no one else is likely to come up there I get some peace and quiet! Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.
SaiFightsMS Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 Nothing like having your own special space, right? Sounds great.
yellowsnow Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 Nice!!! I got a little room in my house for myself also. Just has a heavybag and thats it. I wish I had a place to grapple...lol... YS
Tombstone Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 Congrats. I'll hopefully have my home gym up in about a year.
SaiFightsMS Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 Just a thought but if you have a space only three kiba dachis long you can practice the Naihanchi/Tekki katas. They are fairly easy to fit indoors.

They are fairly easy to fit indoors. I've got space for maybe 2 kiba dachis, but I could maybe make space for 3 if I kept my legs closer together and made the stance a bit "smaller". I don't even know the heian kata yet though! Ach well, if I just keep trying I'll be a Grandmaster someday! Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.
ZeRo Posted January 19, 2003 Posted January 19, 2003 ive been trying to get my peeps to do that with our loft to, but so far not doin very well. sounds good though nice one!
