Sparkey Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 My Sensei has a big sign on the wall of the dojo that reads, "BEND YOUR KNEES!!". He was giving a couple of the students a hard time because they ALWAYS are needing reminding to bend their knees while in kibadatchi, especially. So, sort of as a joke, Sensei pointed to the sign and said, "Do you not understand what this says?". Then, he gave our class the assignment to go and see how many different languages we can make signs in that say "BEND YOUR KNEES!!". So far I have Spanish, French, Zulu, Afrikaans, and German. Can any of you help me out with some different languages?
karatekid1975 Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 What is kibadatchi? Sorry, I'm a Korean stylist, so I have no clue. But once I know, I'll look it up for you. Laurie F
Kirves Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 "KOUKISTA POLVIASI!", that's Finnish. Kibadachi is the "horse stance", i.e. wide stance with your feet a lot wider than your shoulder and pointing forward.
