Martial Arts (Tae kwon Do and Kendo as a teen, Judo in college, and Fudokan Karate right now) School teacher for the past 20+ years (Adult/youthful offenders for the first years, continuation/alternative ed. and regular classroom teaching until four years ago) I now teach P.E. Not exactly what I went to school for (J.D. and a slew of other non-P.E. majors) but, ,,, WHAT A TOTAL BLAST! I ride motorcycles (one very hot, upright/naked streetbike, and one very cool cruiser)! Yes, I DO have the bugs between my teeth from that ear-to-ear grin I wear every time I ride those things! My Christian Faith is literally my salvation. I literally praise God for EVERYTHING positive in my life (i.e., beautiful sunsets, beautiful views, a nice meal, cool people, cool pets, you get the idea...). I accept His plan for me through my hard work. I do relate to other philosophies (I praise God in my heart for his grace for allowing me to experience the totally cool ZEN of the motorcycling experience!)
Jiu Jitsu and/or Karate After Hip Surgery?
My dad's 70 yrs. old. He broke (cracked) his hip last year. He has a plate and screws where he suffered the injury. He regularly lifts wgts. (HEAVY), and works out on the eliptical/stationary bicycle. He REALLY wants to start Jiu Jitsu or Tae kwon DO (he has his blackbelt in Song Mu Kwan from 1971).
Should he get back into the martial arts?
7 AnswersMartial Arts1 decade agoI've just started tournament sparring, and I've noticed a lot of non-traditional uniforms.?
I've been away from formal martial arts since the 1980's.
*I've noticed that while the children tend to wear more traditional gis for the sparring competitions.
*The adults in the black belt divisions tend to wear non traditional uniforms.
*What is the rationale (if any) behind this?
Thank you for your responses.
