ATA Karate kwon Do!?

[DerAuslander]

Well I do see the reasons why no adult would want to train at such a school, but as an Instructor I do see the benefits of martial arts for children in such an environment beyond the, "making dem into teh ultra d3@dly f1g4ting machines!"

Kiddie Karate/MA schools do alot more for kids than mere fighting prowess (actually I don't think any of them actually teach kids to fight). And at that age certain things take higher precedent.

No arguing that, Bro. I teach kids as well. My argument was against McDojangs.

"I think that Karate people have an advantage in a fight, since, You know, Karate people kick AND punch, and most people only punch."

That came out of the mouth of a 4th degree ATA BB, beat that...

Can't argue with that logic :ninja7:

I like that though...."Everything that chops is Karate"...there's some kinda Zen in that...

Heh, then karate includes traditional CMA... and lumberjacking! :toothy4:

Ahh, the old "ata" krotty thread. My old tkd federation started from instructors quitting when ata went to "camo' belts and new forms.....and, black belt youngsters. This is my first post on bullshido...sorry to interrupt. :e.jpg:

"AHHH! STOP PUNCHING ME! WHAT DO YOU WANT?! *Gurgle* *Sputter* *Choke*"

I was taught that you use the word "karate" to pretty much lure them in, cause it's a "generic" term.

Did you learn that in Pedophilia 101?

Yeah, that one is a bit more realistic.
