Hi wph, about the delete function: we had some technical issues with it. But we can delete posts for you as long as they haven't been published in The Voice. Those ones we have to leave alone. If there are others that you'd like unpublished from the site, just message or email me the titles and I can help.
whoa you're going to work there?? that's super cool!! my dojo has a leadership program that I really really love (i'm one of the team leaders in it) where you can teach classes and help out a lot with birthday parties and summer camps and stuff - we have to be there pretty early Saturday mornings to teach 3 or 4 classes before our own, working w/ 6-9 year olds, and sometimes it can get annoying, but the pedagogy is so interesting and it really helps with my patience and empathy skills!
Adding jiu-jitsu would be pretty cool my dojo has a class for it but it's on the days I'm not there so I can't join right now, once I start working there in a few weeks I should be able to though. Yeah board breaking is a tedious competition, I think they should make it a little less restricted so when you compete it's not quite so stressful!
mmm, i've heard timing is super important and also pretty restricted as to what you can do in tournaments, especially around here. it's super cool you took first in grappling!! we don't compete in that but it is part of the four ways of fighting of shaolin kempo that fred villari brought together. it would be fun to have a jiu-jitsu technique section though!
Oh nice! I compete in forms, weapons, sparring, breaking, and grappling. I hope you win this year! I have mostly only done twin state tournaments and it's been a lot of fun this year they added grappling and I took first. I think they are adding breaking this year, I have done it in a couple other tournaments but didn't place well because of my timing.
no, I prefer the in-state competitions lol, less driving involved! I do forms (patterns) and weapons and sometimes point sparring, but my dojo doesn't train in breaking so we don't compete for that, but we still win a couple grand champs every year! i've never gotten first in a multi-dojo tourney but I hope to this year!!

They must of either moved it or gotten rid of it. I'm pretty sure I've deleted things in the past but don't see a delete button any more.
