DUDE! GOGOGO! LLAMA TO THE GEDDON, YOU GO AND DESTROY THAT GRADING PANEL, YAHARA STYLE (don't forget the bulletproof briefcase) also kata videos plz, kthxbai
ok guys well I'm going to be doing some extra training on tuesday where a friend will record the kata. Don't judge me too harshly - I have myself to do that
Oh, I spoke to your instructor on the phone yesterday - he said don't forget you need an orange gi for the grading or it's auto-fail. But he said don't speak about it with him because it's dishonorable of you to need any further reminding, just turn up wearing it on the day.
He also mentioned that at every kiai point you should actually shout the word kiai , but elongate it to something like kiiiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !
Really? He told me that Llama should ki-ai like this: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WGmeX6CLas"]Seru (cell)'s firin' his lazer! SHOOP DA WHOOP - YouTube[/ame]
What a coincidence, that is how I kiai! Also, Bassai - if you haven't seen it youtube jim carrey karate
do this kata [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAsWPEfGOzc"]SCOTT WU - ISKA US OPEN 2007 - YouTube[/ame] look at the low stances, the shoto-boys will love it!
My heart actually stopped out of shock about how crap that was. Sorry, I mean AMAZING. HHHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH
You don't need luck (although i haven't seen the video yet- hey your real name isn't Scott wu???). Just relax. Focus. Mean it. 'Yoi' means bring it on!
I couldnt watch the whole vid all the screaming gave me a headache OMG But Llama seriously from what i've read on your posts and from the wisdom you seem to impart the grading seems like a formality, so on that note may the day be easier than training.
I always thought "coffee over keyboard" was an exageration untill i watched that.. and the bright orange gi suggestion, you guys crack me up. cheers
You mean... the orange gi.... was a joke?! <sitcom protagonist or supervillain esque scream> MOOOOOOSSSSSSEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!</sitcom protagonist or supervillain esque scream> And locust, if the thanks button was still around I'd be pummelling it for dear life right now!
Damn, OK, I come clean, it was a joke, I'm sorry. Actually, the gi should be pink. Gosh, wouldn't you have looked silly if you turned up in orange?
you mixed it up with ninjutsu moosey, orange gis are what ninjers wear on tests so their instructors can see them
