Bill,
I just returned from Thailand, but will see Gordi-San this week at class; I will print this thread and see what he can tell us.
Regards

Why Fight?
From out of the woodwork (actually the jungles of Thailand)[Ed. Wait a minute, you have email access in the JUNGLE???] Ok, ok, from out of the suburban area of Thailand... I come to agree with Gary and Van. (You all would have to tell me, since I have never studied in the US, but are some folks afra...

Shut up and train
Maurice/Rick, Thanks for your comments. Just a few clarifying points: I certainly wasn't suggesting that we don't think about our karate, on the contrary. What I was suggesting, however, is that our Sensei (in my case Breyette Sensei) should pass down at least one interpretation of the "how's a...

Shut up and train
Robb asked.."How do we recognize the tricks? Flash of insight? Alien communication? Contact from the spirit world?" - The short answer to this question is an important one -- you recognize what is "in" the kata by being told and shown by your Sensei! There shouldn't be "secr...

Bowing in the Dojo
HUMOROUS BOWING STORY: Last night I "bowed in" to my Senior's- Senior (JD's term) dojo in Yomitan. (a very traditional, small Okinawan dojo). As Anthony stated, you bow and clap twice (respect for the dead), then turn and bow to the Master. Well, when I turned to Sensei I clapped twice aga...

A rose by any other name
"SHUT UP AND TRAIN!" Ok, who's gonna get the silk screen done and distribute these new Uechi T-shirts! Put me down for one!

A rose by any other name
Bill, You and Maurice have nailed down the important points, ... training, and passing along the art to those who are really interested and still maintain the joy of it all. When you've been around anything for a while it's easy to get jaded and forget the "fun" part of it. I'm new to the ...

NIPR NET
Tony, This has absolutely nothing to do with computers other than to say I have been having trouble logging in via NIPR net in the field (I'm on an exercise- can't tell you where or why or I'd have to kill you) but I wanted to pass along my most sincere CONGRATULATIONS. I am proud of you! Take care,...

More questions about supplements
Gents, I have lifted free weights for 22 years and during that time have spend big bucks on just about everything Weider and companies like his have offered as "the hot suppliment". You name it, protien powders, "Hot Stuff", multi-vit "animal packs", the list goes on. C...

Nail 'em
Loftus Sensei, Your discussion brings to mind a few thoughts. As Robb stated, nails are not-gender specific. Your point is well taken regarding grooming (toe nails can be a problem as well). Additionally, your post begs the question of distancing in kumite (and bunkai, for that matter.) (Which has b...

What is the meaning of a blackbelt?
Glasheen Sensei brings up a good point - THE LETDOWN. I have seen a few "New Dans" fall off the screen following their tests. You are so pumped up going into the test, and building to this event,... then, the next week you're back in class getting corrections on all of your kata (as before...

What is the meaning of a blackbelt?
David, Congratualations on your upcoming Shodan test. There is a good article on Alan Moulton's page written by Jay Salhanick (under the "weekly lessons") link. Sensei Salhanick does a nice job of describing the real attributes of being "A BLACK BELT". [This message has been edit...
