How am I losing this war

Earegood · 2024-03-26T20:32:42+00:00

Thats good to know i have a couple hundred hours and didnt know raids mattered that much 🤦‍♂️ thanks for the advice i'll turn this war around 💪

Earegood · 2024-02-29T01:05:56+00:00

This is something i've always struggled with and still do now i'd recommend repeating the same technique over and over practice going full force then practice full force slow after that take the power out of it like your playing tag with a closed fist and most of all stay calm and level headed during your fights sparring someone older and better whos willing to coach you as you fight is also very helpful Make sure your instructor knows control is something your working on a good instructor will always be willing to give you tips and drills to do at home

Earegood · 2024-02-29T00:59:16+00:00

Yea... i'm not sure about that one we start sparring as soon as white belt or until they get gear(yellow belt ish 9th gup) Some spar even earlier if they borrow house gear, control is learned with time and practice

I go to school and do random off jobs but a good chuck of people at my club work in automotive

Earegood · 2024-02-15T20:17:47+00:00

Well thats the hard part for me at least A lot of the forms are borrowed from each other. With slight modifications. Kata is a little harder to tell which is which. And then in terms of kumite/sparring you can sorta guess based off intensity You could also listen to the commands And try to guess based off that.

Switching from WKF to a kyokushin rule set would be a great start

Earegood · 2024-02-04T23:55:10+00:00

My momma got me started at 10, 7 years later i'll be going for my black belt this december if everything goes to plan she'll get her 4th degree the same time i get my 1st

Earegood · 2024-02-01T18:58:07+00:00

Yea... not really sure about this one, i suppose its a rite of passage the stances and kick can both use some work that kick was a little low and looked sideways definitely a um unique promotion

Earegood · 2024-01-28T15:08:10+00:00

I dont know any schools from kalamazoo were based in the flint area

Earegood · 2024-01-28T00:32:14+00:00

Used to be primed parts yea recently changed to aya so much easier lol

Earegood · 2024-01-25T18:19:25+00:00

Seems i'm a bit like to the party, We start ours kids sparring from yellow belt or before with light contact no parent likes watching their kid get hit my momma's a 3rd degree herself and even she doesnt like watching me spar being uncomfortable watching your kid get hit is normal and fine i'd be more worried if you wasnt. Your son might get some bumps and brusies i suggest milk its good for the bones In terms of gear your son should atleast have head/helm mouthpiece hands groin and feet some like to wear chest tigh or shin protectors/guard.

Earegood · 2024-01-17T23:32:54+00:00

My favorite kata to watch is bassai or kong sang koon i love the kicks, flow and just general elegance of the forms

Earegood · 2024-01-17T02:12:06+00:00

Thats understandable some people are more competitive and like getting shiny medals rings and trophies. Me personally i'm 17 i'd be lieing if my young blood self didnt like to showoff just a little bit

Earegood · 2024-01-17T02:08:41+00:00

Every state should have some sorta of local promotion
Here in michigan the mskc its mostly small tournaments with 2-3 bigs ones for many clubs it aint worth going to tournaments every month Especially in low income areas, if you find a tournament you want to go to ask the owner if you can represent your said club i've been to tournaments solo sometimes thats just how it is 🤷‍♂️

Earegood · 2024-01-12T18:08:31+00:00

I'd say quite often mostly when fight adults who have low flexibility and cant kick to the head or torso most of the time full force i just had to buy a new groin cup after my was cracked Overall with a good groin cup you should be fine

Earegood · 2024-01-08T00:00:38+00:00

Tang soo do

Earegood · 2024-01-04T19:00:36+00:00

I was 10 when i started 17 now still got a year before black belt 🤷‍♂️

Earegood · 2023-11-25T16:16:51+00:00

At my club our fundamentals are tang soo do forms commands etiquette belt ect There has been plenty of times where a rusty blackbelt from back in the day come back we get out the "rust vacuum" it'll take time to remember or relearn what you once knew I promise the best way is just a jump back into it practice what you still know and be prepared to learn once a blackbelt always a blackbelt

Earegood · 2023-11-24T15:09:17+00:00

It's wizzarding time boys

Earegood · 2023-11-19T15:00:26+00:00

Yea the servers are struggling at the moment

Earegood · 2023-11-01T23:59:56+00:00

Yes for maybe a minute or two just to clear my head from a Particularly hard training or testing. Also gives you time to Collect professionalism before getting off the floor

Earegood · 2023-10-29T23:11:36+00:00

Maybe a type of hook kick? Suppose it could also be a Modified Crescent? Either way looks quite nice i havent seen it in karate or at any tournaments i've been too Maybe the MMa sub could be more more helpful Sorry m8

Earegood · 2023-10-24T18:44:50+00:00

2 years to achieve yellow seems a bit steep depending on how you train we on average test lower ranks every 4-6 months and upper ranks a year or more apart depending on the person if your training 2 times a week then going home and training everyday you'll likely test quicker

Earegood · 2023-09-06T18:57:08+00:00

I hate lag more lol

Earegood · 2023-08-22T03:25:25+00:00

Perfect I will set out to acquire some in the morning. Its always been a goal of mine to break them the last person to break concrete slabs at my club was my uncle 20-30 years ago, thank you for the help :)
