      You are too kind! I still have a lot to learn, but I really do love teaching kids and seeing them grow. Teens are fun too, and they mostly get my jokes, even if I don't always get their references. They help me stay in touch with what's happening and what's cool at the moment 😅

    In the hard moments when you don't know how to defend yourself, you just need to decide what is better for you, the best choice is to learn a martial style, i joined muay thai and im going good, but im thinking to join karate, with such a good teacher you can trust and learn your self defense, Don't be shy, be strong and keep getting stronger

    • @GojuRyuKarateCentre
      @GojuRyuKarateCentre  2 роки тому +3

      Muay Thai is a wonderful style, and brutally effective. I would never want to fight a Muay Thai specialist!
      But you're right - we take the styles, ideas and techniques that work for us, and we keep training those concepts until they work under pressure. It's like that ancient Greek saying: "we don't rise to the level of our expectations - we fall to the level of our training."
      Thank you for watching and commenting, and please forgive my late response to your comment :)

      @@GojuRyuKarateCentre, there is yet another opportunity to teach by showing them how you were able to deliver a great lesson despite feelings of awkwardness. I am an introvert by nature, so I understand this awkwardness all too well. Thanks again for doing what you do!

    • @GojuRyuKarateCentre
      @GojuRyuKarateCentre  3 роки тому +2

      Truly you have the spirit of a teacher! Always good to find the teachable moment. The funny thing is that normally I consider myself an extrovert, but there's something especially daunting about putting stuff out there. There's a lot of imposter syndrome, especially because I am just a nidan, and I happen to be married to an exceptionally talented karate man who is also a qualified teacher - it feels silly to put out my videos when he has more to offer!
      These words of kindness and support make all the difference. Thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️

  • @Lobocito87

    Very good and instructive video to reactivate Karate-knowledge after years of non-practice. As it is I used to train Shotokan-Karate when I was a youngster and kept up with it until my mid-twenties. Then I had a very hard accident with my right knee so that it would not work as well as before anymore. However, I started a new training in Wing Tsun and there I realized how valuable all my previous knowledge from Shotokan was. Some months later (I already have an intermediate level of Wing Tsun now) I heard our Sifu (Chinese word for "Sensei") say the following: "depending on your moving habits or your previous knowledge of other martial arts each and every one of you will build up another individual style of Wing Tsun. Those who did Karate in the past will be able to understand movements and techniques another way than people who never attended a course in self-defense before. Judokas or wrestlers will practice another form of Wing Tsun than people coming from Karate or Tae Kwon Do." Actually I understood what he meant: "Every movement (turn, hip-vibration) or technique (punch, kick, block etc.) you learn is a PLUS for your capacity to defend yourself. So I re-started to have a look at Karate again, checked the principles of each technique I recalled and...voilà! There are no limits to combine techniques, methods (e.g. Ka Kie, Chi-Sao, Kihon-Ippon Kumite...). It's a whole universe opening up in front of me! Marvelous!

It is a privilege to be able to teach karate full time, and one we will always be grateful for :)

I immediately noticed the resemblence to Uma Thurman in the "Kill Bill" movies (in the U.S.). I studied Taekwondo for several years; attention turned now to Karate. Thank you for the video, very well done! [Please open a dojo in the U.S.!]

What I realized is this, I could either pay to go to a martial arts dojo using money that I don't have or I could gather seven lessons which I did, and master them and repeat with more advanced karate videos and grow with my training as I master each video. For me it's a no brainier and you ma'am are an excellent instructor. Thank you for such a an awesome video
