karatekid1975 Posted March 15, 2003 Author Posted March 15, 2003 Thanks, Ramy The dojang that I was talking about joining (the one I told you about), yes, that will happen. I just felt "at home" there when I visited there (unlike the place I just quit). I just need to take a break for now. Maybe for a week or two. Not long. I need to clear my head, and get out of the contract of the old dojang still. Laurie F
karatekid1975 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Posted March 20, 2003 Ok. I did it. I got out of the contract and joined the other TKD dojang I am much happier here. They honored my rank. So that means, I have a lot to learn, but I'm up for the challege Thanks all for your support Laurie F
ramymensa Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 WOW. Great. Now you'll be happy at last. What's your bf feeling towards the big change? Guess he'll understant eventually World Shotokan Karate
karatekid1975 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Posted March 20, 2003 Thanks Sub, and Ramy Anyways, he's ok with it. I was suprised. I left the other school on "good terms." That way I can still go with him to class and watch him. And see him test. We still do the same forms and I can still help him with technique, so we can still workout at home together I think it will work Laurie F

karatekid1975 Posted March 20, 2003 Author Posted March 20, 2003 Thanks, Jmy. I have my first "official" class tonight. I'll let everyone know how it goes Laurie F
KickChick Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Hey Laurie!!! Well... Well??? It's late Thurs. and I just checked in here! Sorry, I haven't "been around" but I do think of how you're doing often! You've been dong so well and happy to hear that "everything" seems to be going well for you.... well did it tonight??? I'm sure it did... but we all are curious!! (MA Girl's weekend coming up in a few months!!!)
karatekid1975 Posted March 21, 2003 Author Posted March 21, 2003 I'm hurtin Man, we did a lot of jump kicks tonight. It was fun, though. I haven't done jump kicks in so long. My legs hurt, though. I learned some of the step sparring I need to learn, also. I was confusing them with the old dojang ones LOL. I was chatting with some of the other students, and I know I will love it here Laurie F
ramymensa Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Parting in good terms is always a good tactic Congratulations. In this way you'll be welcome in any place you've been before. I was almost certain it would work even with your loved one. You'll benefit from this, both. Have fun and work hard. It's different when you are happy in the dojo. You can do a lot of effort and still enjoy. I just went to a dojo run by another sensei (a friend of my sensei's and a higher rank. He and another one are the "biggest" in Romania: 7th Dan in Shotokan). I feel akward in his class, I really don't like him a lot and it's kinda strange. Still in his dojo only champions train and he is a great technician, although not such a pleasant person as my sensei. I'll go to his dojo once a week just to absorb information and to correct my technique. I have an interest in "stealing" info from there. Then I train in my dojo and enjoy it, while applying what I've learnt from the "big guy". Now I know how it feels to not love the place you train. Still I'm into it because I know he is the best and I intend using this opportunity. (He only trains with a limited number of people. He's chosy) World Shotokan Karate
