rabid hamster Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Do you ever look back on your older posts and wonder how you could have been so stupid back then? I wish there was some way to delete all of my older stupid posts. It is only with the heart that one can see clearly, for the most essential things are invisible to the eye.
karatekid1975 Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Same here. I shouldn't have "dissed" my TKD dojang, but in a way I was right. But I was wrong at the same time. It's not a bad dojang. They do teach good stuff, but as far as self defense, they make us wait till red belt to learn self defense, take-downs, ect. If I were in it for sport, and wanted a little bit of self defense, it would be an ideal dojang. But I'm in it for self defense, not sport. So, what they lack, I'm learning in Judo. It just took me awhile to "wake-up" so-to-speak to why they teach the way they do. My instructor (TKD) is very big on basics. He wants us to have strong basics. Which there is nothing wrong with that. I like the saying that goes: "Be affraid of the man who practiced a few techniques a thousand times, than the man who knows thousands of techniques and mastered none." Laurie F
SaiFightsMS Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 It is all in the process of learning. I too have made my share of "goofy" posts.
shotochem Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Once again I lament........ If only I knew then what I know now..... Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.

I've been in KSW for about three years now and my instructor hammers us on the basics every class. I used to question that myself at first but soon realized the importance. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
ZR440 Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 At least you're honest. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
ramymensa Posted February 13, 2003 Posted February 13, 2003 Well ... I'm perfect ... smart and so on ... I wish To be honest I don't look at older posts ... I think I'd be embarassed maybe, or maybe not. I just try to speak my mind, be helpful and sincere. Sometimes I'm wrong, but I'm honest in my beliefs ... and I like this forum World Shotokan Karate
