Legend Gates Shotokan Karate

Is it mandatory all students & teachers practice out the application as we see in videos done.

I do this with mine and it really helps them truly understand each step of the Kata better. Even if it varies, due to heights, weights etc. I personally enjoy teaching Kata and its application.

In this Kata Yondan I see the 1st two moves as taking an opponent that is trying to throw a Mae Geri at me, using those motions to let it pass by me on both of them,.. going onward. Just my view..but I have seen it used several ways..what is your favorite used?

A genie Lamp or whatever, you cannot change the past or future, only see it, what would you want to travel too and witness of all things in time?

No wrong or right answers here really, so B.A. based on greatest three picks.

Lets try to be nice TU only and only TD to those with bad taste of words as there is no wrong answer here.

Something that represent every style that is proven somehow authentic, lets skip the Symantec's for now, the concept of a World Congress for Martial Arts, or even Karate a possible concept?

If you think so please tell me why and if you do no believe so please also tell me why.

I am curious to see how others feel about this topic one where all are represented equally helping rid us all of all those real young 10-15th Dan's for ex or self made named Styles with no lineage or history past its teacher and so on.

I myself am not sure if it is even possible or not... why i ask you others your thoughts on it... really no wrong or right answers here either btw. lets be kind and remember we are M.A. only T.U for people unless a real rude post no T.D.s please a show of respect of all's opinions if you would please. Ty.

Also what is the application without that gesture or how does it differ?

I am not counting the fact their were Indigenous people living on the Americas such as the Tribes, Aztecs, Mayans,

Inca's.. they most likely crossed over during the Ice Age... modern day research has shown it is NOT Columbus but likely the Vikings or Chinese.... even a few others such as the Irish and Scots as well... what do you think stumbled upon the American Continent? I think either Vikings or Chinese..I know this is an ongoing debate today, but I am curious how many know it is NOT Columbus?

This goes to a previous question I asked and I was unaware that NO, movement in Judaism allows cremation. As I was told.

Has this always been true through out History? What is the reasoning that differs from Christians whom do have cremations now?

Please I am just trying to learn, I am not bashing anyone's Faith and I would ask you respect any one else's answer if another faith as long as they are not rude or ranting..=] TY. I am trying my best to educate myself more on Judaism for I have discoverd their is much more I did not know than I thought and I am learning fast and wish to continue to.

Thank you.

Is it not true that when Monotheism over took Paganism that the burning rites of old changed to burial and it became illegal to burn a body? If so then why do they allow cremation today then? If I am wrong and have my information messed up please correct me, that is why I am asking. Not to bash, to understand.

Thank you.

What was the reason the group started? I joined after it was in existance but I was wondering what caused it to be created to begin with?

No this is not a bash on any one or any one else's faith, I am just curious to know how it started.

Thanks.

God, Jesus or Amen?

I heard that Amen is said 773,692 Times according to the History Channel. What about the other two? Which is the most commonly used is it Amen or one of the other two?

Thanks and sorry if I sound ignorant but I am Pagan but I am not here to bash or say anything bad, as always I am here to learn and educate myself more.

Thank you.

What kind of class would YOU teach if you are not ALREADY a teacher? SO I guess this is for mostly Non teachers though they can answer too.

Did any of you have a particular reason why you joined at first or did your meaning to it come later on or do you not really have a reason at all?

Can you imagine some one wanting to join and waste time daily hours of it just to try to defame another or pretend to be another? Answering and Asking as if they are them.

I joined to try to offer what knowledge I have to share with other not just Martial Artists but people as a whole. I never in my dreams would have imagined the kind of troll activity allowed on Yahoo.

So what is your purpose for joining and what do you think their reason is?

I still plan to help others as best as I can in MA or any category I answer.

Would you ever join for any other reason than to answer and help or ask and get help? Does any one really think this is a competition or game?

Seriously, please tell me why you joined Y!A and then ask yourself if you are still doing what you joined it for or not.

Thanks all!

Or Forms or which ever you want to call them? Can those that despise them see NOTHING good in them and those that PRAISE them see nothing bad in them?

I am just curious.

JUDAS. Did he hang himself, was he cursed by God or was he killed by his own people? I I read and watched that their is a debate on his actual fate other than that he did die.

So does any one have more information?

No I may not be a Christian but I am still interested in knowing about it and I intend no offense to anyone for asking this if it sounds silly to you. It is a legit honest question not an attempt to bash Christians.

I truly wish to be educated in this.

TY.

Is their another way beyond the standard report and block if you have some one impersonating you which is a FELONY in some US states and illegal in most as is harassment.

I am not talking a typical troll here. I mean someone taking things very personal that they impersonate you!

How would you contact some one in Yahoo about it to take care of it beyond emailing the abuse center which NEVER seems to do anything but delete things and never check into anything to see if they are legitimate or not.

Thanks!!

Traveling to other Nations and not just visiting but Living there?

What has benefited you the most?

For me it was learning to speak German and the great friends I made. Others must have other reasons too.
