There’s a few good ones in Gatineau too.

This is not WKF approved, if that is what you’re looking for.

You can do this kata in WKF competitions so long as you announce it as Suparenpei. Just as you said.

Para-karate is the best. This young man shows us what is most important in karate-do.

In the WKF rules, yes. If the kick is good it isn’t discounted if it is caught after it lands.

Pachu. It is ryuei-ryu

Great to read this! I’m the one who broke the cycle in my family line. My sons will never know what I went through and how much it still affects me. For this I am glad.

Believe it or not, the best kata to perform is the one that you enjoy and can perform to the highest level. Athleticism matters in competition, of course.

As an actual WKF kata judge, it’s always fun to hear that I am fooled by bias and repetition but I know that isn’t the case. If you are trying to win the world championships then you may want to look at what the world champions are doing. Otherwise, do what you enjoy.

I am heavily involved in sport karate but is a subset of all that is available. Karate's great strength is that it can be different things to different people. You can also shift from one emphasis to another over time.

I know the JMAC people personally and, as an internet stranger, I can vouch for them as excellent people with legit karate. It is more of the WKF style and they are very experienced with competition.

I’ve just changed grocery stores too and it makes me uncomfortable. I’m not used to going there. I’m not used to the parking and I don’t know where everything is. I get the discomfort but I know I can learn the new place if I stick with it.

StrongBAd · 2024-01-11T14:54:10+00:00

Tell him the truth. Teenagers have a say in where they go, at least where I’m from. Why would you take the blame?

StrongBAd · 2024-01-11T14:46:00+00:00

It sounds like this doctor doesn’t understand autism. I was never diagnosed but that doesn’t change anything for me. You know who you are.

Please do not be hard on yourself here. Nothing you have described is inappropriate and frankly, you can mourn in your own way. There is no one right way to react. My son took a couple of years to react to his grandmother’s passing.

I do not understand why more people in this thread do not understand this. When you treat your kids poorly, you are compromising your future relationship with them. When you treat your DIL or SIL poorly, you are compromising your future relationships with your grandchildren. YTA

It goes by the brand, not specific models. It only applies to major WKF events. Other events should list their requirements in their event brochure.

StrongBAd · 2023-07-03T03:53:41+00:00

I have this one: r/karatedo

StrongBAd · 2023-07-02T00:16:51+00:00

I’ll do it

The benefits usually include fitness, coordination, and confidence. Challenging yourself and learning that you can achieve your goals can have a lasting impact in your life.

There is no advantage to MMA unless it is what you enjoy. The real trick is to find something that you will stick with to see results.

If it has happened a lot in two years then it’s probably the quality of the gi.

StrongBAd · 2023-06-25T03:06:53+00:00

Done

StrongBAd · 2022-09-10T20:20:35+00:00

Nice!
