Re: Should it be compulsory?

I just read that my old school has now made kyokushin compulsory Makes me angry at times Although I think that everyone should be introduced to martial arts and made more aware of what it is I think everyone should also have the right to choose Plus I think Wado would have been a wiser choice for s...

Re: Which is/are your favourite Kata?

Hi Prajit, I tried to reply yesterday but just before posting my computer crashed.. I was wondering how you are taught kata. If I teach, I give the commands in the rythm that should be used when performing the kata. AJ What kind of rhythm is that? What do you mean, is this à language thing? Some mo...
