Our teachers actually are not big on competition, and have no time for all the showboating and craziness that goes on at tournaments. They let the kids do a couple a year, because in some ways it's good for them -- seeing other kids doing karate, making friends, getting feedback from other masters, etc.lostcheeriohttp://www.littleblueschool.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28047874.post-31861334503451175582009-06-01T10:14:27.425-04:002009-06-01T10:14:27.425-04:00Your experience is one of the reasons I never trie...Your experience is one of the reasons I never tried to have my kids do one of the Tae Kwon Do tournaments. They also hate competing. :o)<br /><br />I've actually been down on martial arts lately because the warm up calisthenics is starting to show its wear on my son. I've always felt they focused too much on quantity (50-100 push-ups, jumping jacks, stomach crunches) and not enough on quality and proper form. My son (now a black belt) has terrible push up form, but he tries to do what he's told to please the instructors. Then he aches for a week. <br /><br />Does your karate school do better in this respect? Because I've heard this complaint for other Tae Kwon Do schools, I wondered if it were simply a martial arts issue.<br /><br />Sorry for the rant! <br /><br />Peace and Laughter,<br />Cristinajugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28047874.post-16652545476108595532009-06-01T08:00:21.385-04:002009-06-01T08:00:21.385-04:00Your kids are so confident performing in front of ...Your kids are so confident performing in front of a group!
