G95champ Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Try not to use bad words in your post if you want them to be seen. Just a bit of advice not that (hell) is that bad its just not nice. As far as being called soft goes when I use the term and I use it a lot in football practice it means a person is not trying or is getting ran over because of a lack of effort. I don't know your situation but learn how to take things. If your being called soft then show them your not soft. You don't do this by getting mad however you do it by working hard. Again I don't know you or the situation but thats how I use the term soft on a daily basis. (General George S.

Rising Soldier Posted August 19, 2003 Author Share Posted August 19, 2003 Good idea ! ! ! No as a matter of fact i am the one who tries the most and never gives up . . . maybe it's just because i am one of the youngest one there in the adult class... No biggy anyways ... anyone know any good tips in succeding in a tournament? Last one i went i recived 2nd place in Katas, yet was some what pissed at the judges because not for nothing though but i thought i did better than the girl who won 1s t place, even my sensei and freinds who were there. LoL i was a white belt then, maybe they had to give it to her since she was a purple belt...only by 2 points... any how i'm thinking about going to another tournament, now that i got my yellow belt, i hope to be more respected... I heard the snapping technique entices the judges, and it can be done by ironing the gi really well, but anything else?

I heard the snapping technique entices the judges, and it can be done by ironing the gi really well, but anything else? It sounds to me like you are misinterpreting the word "soft" to mean bad technique. Soft means you lack "kime"not technical prowess. Kime is the intensity of the technique as it finishes (basic definition) and can not be imitated by ironing your gi. It must be developed with YEARS of repetition and experience.

Sens55 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 From what I could tell, you're worrying about getting respect for having a belt. Respect doesn't come from that. As we used to say in the Army, we salute the rank, not the individual. But some individuals earned our respect and the received sharper salutes along with the loyalty and trust of the soldiers. Same goes for belts. Prove you're worthy of the belt and you'll get the respect. As far as being soft, some people are. I don't think it has anything to do with looks, and I'm not saying you are. But some people aren't aggressive with their moves and are scared of contact. That might define soft. The question is, why do you care? If you don't believe you're soft, then it shouldn't matter. If you do believe you're soft, and you don't want to be soft, then work on being more aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Monkey Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 man, if my sifu ever says i am "soft", i'd be so happy... oh, i'm a wing chun guy by the way post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
