I remember learning it some 30-some years ago as a flying front kick to the face . It takes a while to get the height, but easy to maintain. Kicking leg fully extended, horizontal, and airborne at point of impact, just like Dana says: "your hurling your entire body weight through the air" ...

Thanks Jackie. When things happen, and God allows one to survive a little longer, one appreciates the time he has as well as realizes how important friends are. We are like snowflakes. Each is unique and yet all are here for such a short time. And when one is gone, one has lived about as long as a s...

To me the wearing of Gi's and some of the small formalities I'm with you 99%, 2green; I consider those things to be absolutely necessary in most places. Whenever my students and/or myself visit/attend exernal karate outings and events, we always wear gis and belts appropriately; exactly for the rea...

When we compete in tournaments and visit others' dojo, we wear our Uechi colors for necessity and to show respect. If belt colors and ranks mean anything else to them, they hold it in their hearts, not overtly. In my three dojo through the years my students come to class in sweats, shorts, or whatev...

I ... - Count in a rhythmical fashion when I use my voice. - Draw a vocal accent on a beat when appropriate to do so. - On a Theme class I use one of two metronomes to do my counting for me. - One, a simple electronic device that varies the tempo and loudness, - The other can be adjusted to accent c...

I have "wondered" about it being a possible issue, when my Sensei is ill-and I take over the classes for him.... I've noticed that the class itself is diffrent... just a tad... but this might be my own nerves teaching adults, that I mostly work out with... Just be yourself; do not try to ...

I expect Gorbi and other Russians to be bitter...

Of course. Our presence there is taking jobs away from hungry Russian scientists.

I say we should move Plymouth to the Cape!!!

The Hut is a unique place, George. The comraderie there is second to none. 1) Should you allow other students whom aren't black belts to correct and or teach other kyu ranks- ? 2) Should the balck belt student/instructor correct when not leading class? When, how, and if appropriate, and with proper ...

Hi Fred, Kerry. Art's dojo was in the Falmouth area when it was active, Ben. As of last fall, I knew there was no Uechi dojo on the Cape. When I had my dojo in Foxboro, one of my students lived on the Cape and couldn't find a dojo near him, therefore he started with me. Windsong's dojo is inactive, ...

Everyone listens when a senator from Massachusetts speaks, right? At least he didn't call the elections fake like Gorbi did: “very far from what true elections are. And even though I am a supporter of elections and of the transfer of power to the people of Iraq, these elections were fake.” http://ww...

Hi Jay. Good to see your words on the forum. Professor? Wasn't Remy Prejas called "professor?" He is deserving of whatever titles one can bestow upon him. Mikek, I prefer that to a dozen gold stripes and a extra long belt One system I know uses gold Roman Numerals in place of the collectio...

Dear Technical Support: Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itsel...

I thought you were going to ask about RADAR systems... like Phased Array, or Traditional, or Doppler... Another post feeds my brain to print out a sign and hang it over my desk to test the responses. "Radar Granmaster" I'll create graphics , holding Skolnck's under the arm, taking out a p...

WTF TKD commands quite a league of senior-level Grandmasters. They are not so rare there. In that system, the title is awarded by the Kukiwon. ITF TKD and some TSD segments have something similar. However, I did know a young renegade 4th or 5th dan Korean who started his own dojang and called himsel...
