tessone Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 I know the feeling. Technically our classes are an hour long, but then sometimes you just have to do burners afterward (basically chair sits, calf raises, situps, pushups, whatever Kwan Jang Nim wants to do), and then there's standing around talking, then sometimes we go out to eat...

MWP Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 I just received my green belt in Tang soo do, I really enjoy it now but My husband loves it. I was never into martial arts before but lately it has been a real escape from the pressures of life. A failure is one who stops trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantasmatic Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 i am a purple belt (yo kyu) in Shuri-ryu (Shorei-ryu) karate. i have been doing it for about 3 years now. I like it because of the outgoing and optimistic people like me go there. And Koshiki!!! We have various arts that we study, I also study Shin-Kage-Ryu swordmanship. I love it alsomst as much as Karate. I bet I would like it more if we did it as much. _________________ Break the bones and the body will heal, break the spirit and the body will die.

Yeah, in BJJ it goes white, blue, purple, brown, black. 4 stripes to each belt before you can test for your next coloured belt. Basically, 5 stripes make up a belt. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaolinprincess Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I am currently a 5th kyu. Promotion will be the 29th for me. I will be on the 4th belt from shodan. I do it cause I love it. It is something different from day to day life. I am in an Okinawan style, originated from the old Shuri-te style. It's what you put into it...1st kyu-Okinawa Shorin Ryu Matsumura Seito Federation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
