No, I Am Not Going To Kick Your Butt!
The first thing people say to me when I tell them I take Karate:
"So you could kick my butt if you wanted to, huh?"
It wouldn't be so annoying if I thought I actually COULD. But then again, I ain't exactly Jackie Chan yet. One of these days though...you'll see my name in lights...
..and on hospital charts.
Can't wait.
This is a shameless plug for Canada's Best Karate (C). The Next
Generation of Family Martial Arts Schools (C). Not that I'm
into this rivalry thing (C), I just thought I'd mention it (C).
In case you're interested, we practice, here at Canada's Best
Karate (yeah, C), a mixed style of Martial Arts that includes elements
of Judo, Shootwrestling, Jeet Kune Do and a whole bunch of
other way-cool sounding ways of kicking butt.
Our belt system works thus:
White
White/Gold (for juniors)
Gold
Orange
Red
Green
Violet
Blue
Brown Sho (1st Degree Brown)
Brown Ni (2nd Degree Brown)
Brown San (3rd Degree Brown)
It should be noted that Shodan is not the end of one's karate
career. It's actually more the equivalent of graduating
highschool. We even have a big graduation dance just like in
highschool....except there's less pot involved.
Can't wait.
