Question # 2
Why is it a teacher that knows he is good and thinks he is great not able to teach as well as someone who thinks nothing of himself.(this does pertain to martial arts)

That doesn't really sound like a question with a definite answer, so... can't give you any straight and narrow answer.

O and martial arts homework of the day. Practice all your forms today. do 100 push ups and 100 leg lifts 1 2 3 count.

You should divide those.
Like... 3x20 pushups and 3x25 leg lifts or so.
It'll be more efficent that way.
Just doing one set untill you drop will probably leave you without any results.

man! eather people are getting really lazy and weaker or i'm a lot stronger than i thought, but truethfully i think its more of the first one. in the past week i've beat two black belts with out effort and i've out lifted all my friends.

man people need to quit slacking and start training plz tell me you guys havn't been slacking just because schools back in!

not to sound like an asshole but so what. You shouldnt brag about anything cause that shows an ego and if you have one of those you will never get any good. And the question was really bad but the reason was the man who thought they are great could never be a good teacher because he thought he was better than everyone else. One thing i have learned from teaching is that over confidence messes you up, leaves you closed for ideas and limits your abilities.

sry for double post but samarui where have you been. You left the club when we where dying and the only reason the club survived was cause lethal, shinro, piepie, and myself stayed with the club. Shinro has given me and lethal elder choosing rights and right now im not happy with you. SO until you can prove yourself you are just a normal member.

Who are you to judge?
That arrogance you speak of... we all have it.
Wether we like it or not.
Becoming strong is a hard path, and it means you will become isolated and arrogant.
Isolated, because other people takes up too much time in your life. Arrogant, because you really are stronger then everyone else.
Then there's false arrogancy and true. But I don't need to get in detail.

I think you're being unfair against samurai.
He just handed two blackbelt's (blackbelters...?) their ass.
It's quite a rush to do something like that.
I know, because at times, i've done the same.
He's not bragging.
He's bringing up a fact.
He won against two blackbelts. FACT.
Bragging would have to be telling the entire story over and over again, adding details and what so ever.

I think I need to explain why, but I like to believe that you can understand what i'm trying to say.

I talked this over with shinro as well. He agreed. He can regain eldership but until he proves himself hes not an elder. Just as if you disgrace a belt you take it away if you disgrace the club you lose eldership

Well I'm back from camp, and I'm a bit ill so I'll have to miss training today. Which sucks, because one of our coaches who is back for a while is supposed to teach us wrestling. I also found out that our other coach is an Israeli Kickboxing champion. Lucky me... I'll be checking in from time to time.

Samurai did nothing wrong.
He wasn't around for some time... so what?
Is he going to excuse himself for having other things to do?
This is a club.
It's for fun, interest and learning.
It's not some damn cult.

I'm sorry for doublepostnig, but that's bs.
Samurai defeated two blackbelts and if i'm right, he's no blackbelt himself.
It could be argued that those blackbelts aren't worthy of their rank if they can't defeat someone lower ranked.
In a very strict traditional school, maybe.

But this is a diffrent era, dsm.

My master has taken my belt away before so people still hold traditional values. I gotten taken away from fighting and i deserved it taken away. Lethal how hard was it to keep the club alive a while back. We could have used the members we where missing. Now depending on his reasons for not posting we will give him his eldership back. If its for school or something sure if its because he thought the club was dying he doesnt deserve it. I have beat people in sparring in shit that are twice the rank of me but i dont think i am better for it.

I dont care enough to argue with you about Samurai, at least for the time being.
How can you have fighting taken away from you?
Why? Why did he take your belt?

You are better then them in sparring if you win. FACT.

well if i'm not at school im at work, karate, or training. sry i'm try to keep moving so i don't let myself slack. the only reason i'm on tonight and yesterday was because i'm recovering from a 15 hour straight training sesion and for the other reply i don't mean to brag at all that wasn't my intensions i was mearly pointing something out i'm sry for the miss interpretation, but i do train hard and i hate seeing people with a lot of potential and slack off so much.
anyway i will try and get on at night when i'm done with everything

Nothing bad about him, but... how does the popularity of his series make him a good martial artist?

He was already an elder but his series is really popular so he is rushed to make the next episode. O are you interested in making a martial arts flash?

I see.

i went to karate tonight and i thank i need to find a new place to train because i think i'm the only person there who trains outside the dojo and i'm getting tired of seeing people who havn't improved at all and still move up in rank.
today it took a brown belt 10 trys to break a 10inch bourd and we did an inderance test and only me and two other people lasted through it out of 20.
its getting annoying so if anyone has a suggestion of a new type of art i could take i'm open to suggestions and please let me know what you think about these people slacking, not improving and still gaining rank and getting cocky as hell.

See the endurance test my school does. We had to put on sparring gear for an hour and run nonstop, jump, kick and then spar after and hour of running and stuff. But thats not bad. The bad part was i ate before it. Didnt throw up though. One question also was it actually 10 inches or 10 boards together orr 10 inches with seperators. It makes a big difference

I sorta felt the same. I couldn't develop further untill the others started taking it more seriously.

I don't know... there's so many styles to choose between.
Tae Kwon Do - Alot of kicking (depending on wether it's ITF or WTF) and sparring, but I like this style because you can focus on so many things... tradition, forms, sparring. You pick.
Wushu - Fluid, beautiful, alot (if not only) forms training.
Go check out all schools in your town and see if there's anything you feel comfortable with.
