Gino Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Your welcome Cactus hope you found what you wanted Never give in
Martial Artist Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 Yea basics are drilled for the first few months... as for power in a punch, rotate the hip as you punch... this was like class one in Shuri-Ryu Karate, sadly many Karate styles don't teach hip action till around blue or green belt. Black Belt (Or, Sash i should say) - 2nd Degree - Wu Shu & Wing Chun Kung FuBlack Belt - 1st degree - Shuri Ryu KarateBlack Belt - 1st degree - Okinawan KobudoBlack Belt - 1st degree - Tomikki AikidoBlack Belt - 2nd degree - JujitsuTai Chi Chuan PracticionerMuay Thai Practicioner
SaiFightsMS Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 As for different ranks doing the same drill - look around and make sure the upper ranks look better when they do them. That is really pretty standard.
GrrrArg Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 I've got the opportunity to train with Kancho soon, so that should be good, especially since I missed out on training with Shihan because of exams.
Valithor Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 Exams? Well hope you enjoy it! Its usually a great night just to train with several hundred people at once.. Keep Smiling!
GrrrArg Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 Exams? Yup, got my results today, did ok, but my teachers and me were expecting an A on my history coursework and it came back a U so where having that remarked. Im looking forward to training with Kancho, im working for the club now so my RM is "encouraging" me to go..
Guitar_lover Posted August 14, 2003 Posted August 14, 2003 oh i did not know Kancho was in England soon. I knew there was a tournerment knocking about soon. PEACE AND LOVE."When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace"
GrrrArg Posted August 16, 2003 Posted August 16, 2003 Don't exactly when yet, it was just something my RM mentioned to me because he had "heard it on the grapevine" so to speak.
TheArchitect Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Hi guys I've been doing GKR in Birmingham (yes, England) for about 3 months now. I'm currently an orange tip and I've been lucky enough to be asked along to the senior classes. These are primarily for those that want to go on to become a sensei but at the same time it's a great opportunity to train with higher grades than a public class and also learn from the regional manager As for the basics... that's pretty much all we still do. Some sensai's will introduce shuto's "chops" for white belts, others prefer to wait till you're yellow. So rest assured new moves are coming soon, although as everyone has rightly said, it's your basics you need to focus on. The Seminar in London with Kancho is on September 13th. The Birmingham seminar with Kancho is September 18th. As for the tournaments, I know of two: Birmingham on September 27th and Manchester on the 20th. The National Titles (held in Brum, I believe) is September 29th. Come visit http://www.gkrkarate.net/ for all your Go-Kan-Ryu needs.
TheArchitect Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 There are two excellent GKR resources for anyone that's looking: https://www.gkrkarate.org has everything you need for the background of GKR, how to learn the katas, tips and advice - anything like that. My own https://www.gkrkarate.net is a forum for everyone involved in GKR. It's still quite new but already has a solid base of friendly posters. If you're looking for more information about the Kancho seminars or competitions, come visit my https://www.gkrkarate.net site and look for the Events section. [Note to admin: Puh-leease don't delete this post. I'm really not trying to pimp my site - there's precious little information about GKR on the web and I'm only trying to help fellow members] Come visit http://www.gkrkarate.net/ for all your Go-Kan-Ryu needs.
