Head punch!
Training for head punch tournament started last Wednesday 23 June 2010.
We started off by strengthening our necks to absorb the impact of punches. Neck strengthening drills were interesting, most of them partner providing resistance.
On Friday, we practiced some head punch techniques: upper cut, roundhouse punch or hook, side stepping.
Then we suited up and punched each other’s heads with 10oz gloves. For head punches, foot work and head movement are important to evade the attacks.

What is a sensei
What is a Sensei??
An effective sensei is fair and impartial, with no “favourites”.
In dealing with others and making decisions, the sensei is seen to be fair to everybody.
Fairness is defined by other people, not the sensei, so the sensei is alert to the
feelings of other people.
A sensei installs, and develops others confidence in themselves.
The ability to … See… See More… See More moreeffectively employ verbal, written
and listening skills is crucial to be a sensei. The ability to communicate effectively
is critical. Most leadership problems are caused through leaders being ineffective
and one-way communicators.
A sensei has the ability to generate a “team” environment through effective maintenance
of leadership skills. Recognising and rewarding effort, and treating other people
with fairness and dignity is crucial.
A sensei always looks for and finds the best in other people, concentrating on the
positives.
A sensei has the skill to solve problems intelligently and with human relations
skill, so that effective outcomes are achieved in an harmonious and realistic fashion.
An effective sensei is intelligent and therefore able to act wisely. The sensei
has the ability to “think through” issues and see with “spatial vision” to identify
the potential outcomes from a course of action.
A sensei is honest and transparent. There is no “dualism”.
A sensei is ethical in all his dealings.
A sensei is “human”, and understands and forgives himself and others.
A sensei can admit an error, and say “I was wrong”.
A sensei has a highly developed “self insight” and is able to “see themselves” as
others see them, act accordingly, and are therefore able to be at peace.
A sensei uses discretion and honours confidences.
A sensei understands and uses “honourable” behaviour.
A sensei is a role model for moral, ethical and legal conduct.
A sensei is not a vindictive or angry person. They do not “punish”. They understand
students come to the dojo of their own free will, and are not “conscripted”.
An effective sensei lives in the “real world”, and is not isolated from other people
and their issues. He is flexible and understands that everybody who persists at
karate tries their best, even if it’s not what the sensei wants.
A sensei does not think or act as if he’s better than anyone else, either as a karateka,
or as a human being.
A sensei is polite, calm and courteous to all people at all times, no matter what
the provocation.
A sensei maintains a “beginners mind”.
A sensei is grateful for all things.
A sensei is above all a human being who makes mistakes, and sometimes falters. With
the support of colleagues and seniors they are however, able to overcome difficulties
and grow.

How do you get a black belt? You find a competent teacher and a good school, begin training and work hard. Someday, who knows when, it will come. It is not easy, but it’s worth it. It may take one year; it may take ten years. You may never achieve it. When you come to realize that the black belt is not as important as the practice itself, you are probably approaching black belt level. When you realize that no matter how long or how hard you train, there is a lifetime of study and practice ahead of you until you die, you are probably getting close to a black belt.
Train hard, be humble, don’t show off in front of your teacher or other students, don’t complain about any task and do your best in everything in your life. This is what it means to be a black belt.
