I went to see the UFC Live. It was a great experiance watching the fighters in actions and meeting them in person. While I was gone I missed the do-jang, so I have some catching up to do.

I was in my orange belt when the unfortunate happened... Unfortuately I was overcome by 3 thugs at (a private club), the top of the stairs, and didn't see the blow coming. I ended at the bottom with a broken wrist, 2 broken ribs and abrusions thruout my torso. Quite extensive injuries for a 4 step trip/fall, eh? So have been out of training for 4.5 months.but getting back in, back to Combat Hapkido & just earned my green belt, sore wrist and all, but the desire beat out the pain. An instructor in training at my CH Dojo, has been asking me to join him in Ninjitsu and I finally went and watched a class. I was bowled over by the fact of all the hands on and all the moves the class went over thruout the entire 2 hour long class. I am going to take 1 class to see if I can keep up with it or not, and join if so, and not if not. If so, I will then be learning CH and Ninjitsu, which for some time now I've been asking around for a descent self defense program, I think I have finally found my training that I need and that this will round me out with my desire to become a good fighter in respect to self defense. My desire to learn is not affected greatly with my age of 58, as again I am in awe to learn the Ninjitsu sensi is 63, and one of his students is 70. Of course there are younger/other generations there too. Of combing the two arts, I don't think I will get confused over the moves as to which is which as I think one will compliment the other.. do you agree? I'd like to hear of what some of you think regarding my choice of Self-defense programs. I am very impressed with the Ninjitsu having seen an actual class in training. Also, beside the stretching out program before class, does anyone have any moves that will help this healing wrist? One last question, anyone know where I can pick up a used or cheap Bob Bag? The best price I find is $199 + shipping. Thanks in advance, DougM Green Belt Combat Hapkido (dugy01@msn.com) --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Mon, 06 Mar 2006 21:22:10 -0600 From: Taekwondo America To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: Re: [The_Dojang] First Day Students Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Usually I teach front snap kicks in drills from a front stance. Then let them kick the bag with a front snap kick. For a child, I also teach a punch and maybe walking forward punch in a front stance. Adults learn punches and down blocks. But kicking the bag gets them every time! ;-) Cheryl Richard Tomlinson wrote: > So a first day student, starting, in class, ok... kids, adults, 20 ish, 30 > ish, 50 ish... what do you do? sandy > _______________________________________________ > The_Dojang mailing list, 2,100 members > The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net > Copyright 1994-2006: Ray Terry and Martial Arts Resource > Standard disclaimers apply > http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang --__--__-- _______________________________________________ The_Dojang mailing list The_Dojang@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/the_dojang http://the-dojang.net Old digest issues @ ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com/pub/the_dojang Copyright 1994-2006: Ray Terry and http://MartialArtsResource.com Standard disclaimers apply.
