ramymensa Posted March 21, 2003 Posted March 21, 2003 Yeah, I agree. I think quiting MA because of a bad teacher is not OK. If you have to deal with a sensei who is not good and you feel that, just go to another dojo. Quiting a hobby just because you didn;t find the right teacher ... no, don't do this. You deserve the best, go and find it When you feel your MA passion is gone, ask yourself why. If there are more "cons" than "pros", then quit. Hope you'll never have to do it, but it's your choice, you should be happy in what you do World Shotokan Karate
Treebranch Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 Hyper extended right elbow and sprained left wrist, from hitting a heavy bag too hard years ago. They both still bother me, anyone know of any treatments?

GhOsCeLL Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 NEVER! I got to Tiger Schulmann's Karate, and they teach you to have a NON-QUITING SPIRIT! "Osu!"
Treebranch Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 I agree, I never quit training either. But still looking for a treatment, it's annoying having an injury.

jake Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 i never got hurt so i dont know what id do. im pretty sure i wouldnt quit though.
benedictbm Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 I like jake am lucky. Aside from the bloody nose and low blows i havent been hurt tht much. If anything i would take a small amount of time off or just take it easy in class untill everything heals.
ZR440 Posted April 18, 2003 Author Posted April 18, 2003 Just when my rib was beginning to feel better I just happen to sprain my ankle a few days ago. Got an x-ray last night and should know if it's broke or not today. I'm gonna be out for a couple months. No more jumping spin kicks for me anymore. This is where I draw the line. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
CheekyMusician Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 I've not been injured yet. I've had some bruises and aches, of course, but never an actual injury, not even a bloody nose yet. I've only been involved for 9 months though and sometimes I keep getting yelled at to 'watch my toes' when I'm performing kicks, so I guess if I get injured in the near future it'll most likely be a broken toe. I love karate and wouldn't want to give it up, but I do occassionally worry about injuries. I've been involved in music all my life and the thought of breaking a finger and badly damaging it kills me. If I was to break a finger and it was to heal ok then I wouldn't be too bothered, but its just if I was to break it badly and it was to heal awkwardly and impair my ability to play music, then I would crack up. Smile. It makes people wonder what you've been up to.
Guest Posted April 18, 2003 Posted April 18, 2003 I broke my ankle on my first day of karate. It was the most embarrassing thing to happen to me and what made it worse was that the kick that broke my leg was so easy I could do it even when my leg was swollen after the cast came off but I did kickboxing and I wouldn't let it make me quit.
Karateka_latino Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 I have Lower Back pain... Never thought in quitting but i've wonder about moving towards other Art if the pain continues. Maybe i should start taking Internal Arts instead. Im a darn Old man. lol
