Any games you enjoy playing during class to 'mix it up' a little? I've heard several instructors who teach children say they enjoy setting up some sort of obstacle course, having them perform various techniques at a number of different stations, etc. I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas like this. All ideas are more than welcome, but I'd especially like to hear anything for adult classes. Thanks, Ciao! -Joe G 1st Dan/Assistant Instructor Estrada TaeKwondo/Haidong Gumdo Academy http://www.estradatkd.com --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 23:29:45 -0500 From: "bmac2" To: Subject: [The_Dojang] re: specials Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net We advertise in a local paper that targets our market area.

One thing I've noticed about myself, is that when I take on a task that requires that I use my body in strenuous ways that I'm not used to, it usually takes a period of time of varying length for me to stop feeling extra tired. For example when I was in my twenties I worked in restaurants, cooking on the line. It was mildly strenuous, but when I took a job as the mixer in a bakery, I took on an entirely new beast. I had to sling 50 lb. bags of flour to and fro all day, not to mention 400 lb. chunks of dough. When I started it would take me all day, 8 to 10 hours to get through the daily mix, it was pretty tiring work for me. Within 3 months however, I had reduced the mix time to 4-5 hours and felt well enough when I got off at 8 am to head to the N. Ga. mountains for a hike and a few hours of fishing. I know I'm being extra windy, but I think that an important part of being human is to enjoy and live life, and part of that to me means to enjoy food and drink and to appreciate the ability we have to transform crushed barley, water, hops and an invisible single-celled plant into a fine India Pale Ale, or flour, butter, cheese, and apricots (and those same helpful, invisible plants) into a fresh cheese Danish. You have to ask yourself "What do I want out of my martial arts training?" Personally I'm not trying to become an elite athlete; I'm too old to even think about doing that, so I seek other things. I know I can defend myself, but also that I'm not going to go ten rounds with an attacker. Only you can decide what level you want to take yourself to. Be patient and listen to the signals your body will send you, it's not a machine, it's alive! Sorry to be waxing philoso-fickle.....

That`s one side of a coin, but on the other hand overall fitness training and weight training, if done properly, can only be good for your kicks. The overall fitness level is a base you can build upon and also a protection against injuries and accidents.

Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net This poster wrote the following: Response: Let me tell ya this: On Vegetarians: My main man, and best man at my wedding, Mark "Dots" Rubin (he used to wear dotted shirts--said it reminded him of bullseyes...worked for the muscle guys over on Canarsie...), used to be one hellacious eater...I mean Lasangna with clam sauce, thick pieces of cheese right off the hanging rack, olive oil, those juicy Gyro sandwiches, pasta with large sausage and bulging meat balls--real man food (and ladies too--lets not discrimate); calzone, and those great TV dinners= all good stuff. So, Mark finds this Guru down on Church Street. Ya know the same type of stuff the Beatles fell for and started writing that "Fool on The Hill" anthem. This Guru brain washes him and has him start down that "Vegetarian" path, ya know= cranola bars, lettuce and tomatoes, legumes, lima beans, and enough veggies to make the Jolly Green Giant sick to his stomach. I mean, what kind of world we commin too ? So, Mark visits me in Chicago and the guy is a royal pain the the bucket house.Eatin only veggies like a real meat ball ! I take him to Crazy Louie's, an old fashioned Italian eatery with pictures of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra on the wall. Mark only wants a brussel sprout and lettuce. I tell him that only gerbils eat that stuff and I thought he was a lion, a man's man ? Poor Marco, Louie came out with a shotgun and asked Mark to try the pasta with meat sauce and if he didn't like it, he would be making a new soup called Marco stew. Hey, vegetarian is good, but you need meat to stay tough--especially at Crazy Louie's place. Remember, train hard and eat a nice Pasta meal with big thick sausage. You will love me in the morning for this tip. Don't buy into this complete vegetarian, mambie pambie stuff. Eat those french fries, potatoe chips, and thick pieces of cheese. Stay tough that way. Ask my friend Bruno Samartino==that guy used to eat racks of tender baby back ribs... End of "On Vegetables" Diatribe Big Ken> __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
