monkeygirl Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 If your instructor is a girl, DON'T be the guy that comes up to her and asks if she can stay after class or come over to his place for a "private ground sparring tutoring session". 1st dan & Asst.

elliotspirrett Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 How about; "I think my old club was better than this one..." Or "I'm bored..." Or "I think I'm gonna take up (nsert rival martial arts here.You know you have one!)" Or "I think ballet is more my thing..."

AngelaG Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 "I'm bored..."This reminds me of a lesson I was taking with the juniors once. It was a quiet session and we were in the unusual situation of a 8th Kyu being class captain (and he's only about 5/6 years old, bless him). We were sat down in seiza and I was waiting for him to start the lesson off by calling "Sensei ni rei!". Anyway he obviously had no idea what to say so instead of just admitting this he suddenly slumped down and just came out with "I'm bored!". Me and the other instructor just looked at each other gobsmacked... and then couldn't help bursting out laughing, meanwhile trying to explain why this was not the right attitude to take.

AngelaG Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 ...what is a kyu? bb degree?A kyu rank is the ones before black belt. So it goes from 10th kyu up to 1st kyu at my club... and then black belt.

elliotspirrett Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 I sometimes find that, b3ecause mymartial art is western, I find it difficult to understand some of the posts, havingonly a limited vocabulary from my Judo days. It would be interesting to have a forum of terminology, and what it means and what (if known) martial art it applies to! If there's already one, please tell me, if not well there's a great idea for a starting post! In fact...I'll go start one now!
