Concerns about training at Karate.
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008Concerns about training at Karate.
Hi,I”m a beginner in Shotokan karate which is offered through my university as a class, with the option to join the club later.
Anyway, there is a brown belt in my class who is beginning to rub me the wrong way. For instance, when he corrects my stance, he seems to be annoyed and sighs heavily when I get it wrong. When I was doing free-style sparring practice with my partner, he said, “Well, now you realized that THAT won”t work, didn”t you?” I tried to just shrug it off and not take it personally.
But then another time when he was correcting my stance, he told me to widen it, and instead of just waiting for me to do it, he sort of kicked my legs open.
