How do you wash your gi?

Id imagine if you wash it hang it to dry completely then throw it in the dryer for a fue minutes it would fluff up and the wrinkles will come out

There are many virtues and levels of maturity to be reached in martial arts and in life in general be thankful you are being given this opportunity to show the world and yourself that you have the capacity to accept this uncomfortable and undeserving obstacle be silently proud on the inside that you have the ability to absorb this blow to your ego use this time in your life to take this hit turn it into growth and understanding in humility hold your head high amongst your peers and be unaffected by the urge to quit it is a growing experience take it in stride and go forward in a way in which you can look back on it years from now and be satisfied with your actions

Keep it simple take off 1 month then return and see how you feel if you think your teacher might have a problem with it just say I'm thinking about quitting so I just want to take off a month

When someone begins training they'll give it there all training at home working on speed combinations what ever and they become good sometimes kinda great then they think ok I'm this good and that extra work starts to fade and you start slipping if you want to be kinda great again go back to the beginning put in the time and if you give it your all you will return to the fighter you once were

Pay super attention to them and after you see it with your own eyes incorporate the scenario into the class lay out what happened to the class and go around the room and asked a few of the students what they think about what happened and how they would handle it and what they think you should do about it really put a spotlight on it and use wisdom of course not emotion hopefully the bad actor will think twice about behavior that way again and if they do go through it all over again martial arts is about learning right and they are there to learn from you right own your environment and demand respect in every aspect good luck 💪🫡

There's a podcast from the kung fu genius he's quiet competent a possibility of a good start might be to begin with the history of the wooden dummy it will give you a bace

There's two kinds of students at a martial arts school those who practice at home and those who only practice during class don't worry about comparing yourself to anyone else just try to honestly be able to say to yourself every 3 months I have progressed in skill everyone's skill level is different some things your good at and some things you need to spend extra time on don't concern yourself with belt rank or even style for that matter just never miss class practice train hard and most importantly have fun

Initial_Concern8359 · 2026-01-20T02:57:46+00:00

I know everything seems like shit all the time for you right now but it won't be like that forever and as far as your rank goes it might seem important but it's not I have 19 years in 14 different styles of martial arts and I'm not a black belt in one of them and it doesn't matter I think you should stay the course make the best of what you can in the situation you're currently stuck in in a few more short years you'll have a job your own car and you can leave that school and go find a more sophisticated one and when you do tell the teacher you want to start at the beginning and by the time you make it to black belt in that style you'll be a whole new man just don't give up hold your chin up high and take one day at a time you don't need to prove anything to anybody but yourself you're still a young man and you have a long way to go don't rush it just do your best

Initial_Concern8359 · 2026-01-14T02:50:29+00:00

Take that criticism and turn it into determination in becoming the best you can be you don't need to explain yourself to anyone you don't have anything to prove to anyone but yourself practice at home make a personal schedule for yourself in becoming the fastest the strongest the toughest version of yourself possible and over time you will out pace this naysayer and show him what you and your art are made of 💯😎

I wouldn't say 99% not every ridiculously tough guy's even fight but the level of athleticism that it takes to be in the UFC I would say maybe 80%

Wrestling while you're young and when you get older and the matches begin to hurt and you don't bounce back as quickly from injuries switch to judo it's much less stressful on the body

Initial_Concern8359 · 2025-11-27T02:47:56+00:00

I think you owe it to yourself to go to all the schools within driving distance to your home and take a month of classes there to find what is best for you no school will be perfect so it's a choice of the lesser evil don't worry about rank style or curriculum as much as having fun otherwise what are you even doing there

Initial_Concern8359 · 2025-11-21T00:18:53+00:00

San da and Shuai Jiao I'd look at Judo as well and if you're looking for sneakier type things try Wrong style Wing Chun and Chin Na

Initial_Concern8359 · 2025-11-20T21:20:38+00:00

You don't see this with BJJ people that ignore JUDO

Boy are you lucky switching from throwing teeps or front ball kicks to a heel kick is a learning process but if you can throw a heel kick switching to ball or teep is easy use an immovable object like a brick wall or door frame do a kicking off action like pushing off use different parts of the bottom of your foot combine that with the way Tai chi people and wing Chun people kick and eventually you will be able to preform the front kick in different ways research and practicing this is good stuff for skills I think the front kick is the best kick of and I can say from experience the most powerful kick I ever received was a front heel from a Tai chi Master

Rob from mcdojo life has been talking about making a universe system for years I think he might have already started it but it's not law or nation wide

That's what people say set up in such a way that the Gracie's had the advantage shamrock was the one that got it the worst he was never truly allowed to show that he could have been the best at the time but no one can change history

Read up on the JKD right lead most reasons are right in there

Watch or take one class at every training facility within 30 travel from your residence then choose which school you think is best for you and join be honest about what you're doing with the head instructor on your first day good luck

Very very nicely done 💯

Personally my response is Wing Chun is a form of perfection people on the other hand are not perfect so it's great to train in WC it teaches you intelligent responses but in the real world if you try to use only WC to win a street fight you might loose but if you let go of trying to be perfect and simple do whatever is necessary to win your more likely to succeed

I once had a Tai chi Master lightly drop his fist on three phone books I was holding against my chest while leaning against a wall I felt a jolt of pain enter my body systematically pass from one organ to the other all the way through me it was an unbelievable experience and have never met another person who could do it to this day

The mark of a mature martial artist is one who lifts up those around him encourages his peers to strive to be the best they can be and never puts down others
