I teach about 11 hours/week of you karate classes, and in that time I hear some really great quotes from the kids. This is a running post of some of the best lines we hear during training.
“I know that move – it’s martian arts!” – GHKA Orange Belt
When leading the class in a combination, this student came up with her own move and named it the “Lima Bean Punch.” I guess when you practice “martian arts, you use the “lima bean punch”.
New quote from today – when describing a traditional karate weapon called “kama” (cicle) a purple belt said – “That’s the Grim Reaper’s popsicle.”
Recently we learned a new block called the “reverse hammerfish.”
When prepping for a tournament we always practice presenting ourselves to the judges – “Judges, my name is . . .” one young yellow belt came up and said “I am a judge.” He got a good score for that one!
