My significant other is a black belt in karate (a very traditional style) and has belts in different Japanese weapons. He is also a high school teacher that teaches technology. I was just trying to get some good ideas on great gifts.|||what about a nice wooden oriental style display case or rack, that way he can display his belts and weapons nicely.. or If he has any certificates in the art, surprise him by getting them all framed nicely..|||A challenge match from someone who trains in a different style under MMA rules. Thus he can see how good his training is with live sparring (If he doesn%26#039;t already).
As for the weapons training you can buy him protective gear and get him a good sparring partner to test how good he is with using the weapons.
This will give him a good indication of where he stands, whether he is training realistically with unarmed fighting, or with weapons.
If he is doing only kata work with either, a good ***-kicking will open his eyes and wake him up to get some real training, if he is training for real in both, then he should have fun and appreciate the opportunity you gave him.|||moto..
there are great gifts by century fitness that any martial artist would love: http://www.centuryfitness.com/
and you%26#039;re in luck, they just added the holiday gift guide to their website this week..
on a personal note, my hubby really loves their athletic wear, for a martial artist he says their stuff is a bit more durable and easier to move in.. he also loves their duffle bags and packs.. i love all the cute key chains, mugs and picture frames.. my son loves the karate cubs and stuffed animals..
check it out i%26#039;m sure you%26#039;ll find something your hunny will love!
~*winkz*~|||Man.... You%26#039;ve gotten some interesting responses so far. I%26#039;ve been studying fighting arts for a while and I might like one or two of the suggestions, but some are just completely a waste of time reading.
Since he%26#039;s both a martial artist and an educator.... Something simple and not too expense would be a good book. Maybe one about or by a martial artist he respects and is interested in reading about. If he likes novels, there%26#039;s one called %26quot;The Wave Man%26quot; by Christopher Bates you can order through koryu.com. (It%26#039;s not great literature, but it%26#039;s a nice little read.) Or maybe he%26#039;d like a nice copy of the %26quot;Book of Five Rings%26quot; by Miyamoto Musashi.|||Well maybe it doesn%26#039;t really have to be directly reltaed to the fact that he is a black belt or is a teacher. Just think about the kind of person he is and what he would like. I am sure if it is something special and from the heart he would like it no matter what. now i would like to comment on the people I saw post on here saying stuff about fake karate schools. Seriously guys how do you know it is fake? Just mind your business. the question wasn%26#039;t about weather a school is fake or real or anything like that. get a life guys and grow up.|||A kicking dummy dressed up as one of his students.|||A gift certificate from Denny%26#039;s. We got a bunch in today...I can shoot you a few...|||Bluto and Ask Me got it right. I was going to suggest putting his most troublesome student%26#039;s picture on a re-breakable board.|||Here%26#039;s some gift idea%26#039;s:
1. A new personalised silk embroided black belt (eg: http://www.paragonmartialarts.co.uk/acat... bottom of page)
2. One of the new consoles that are out/coming out Nintendo Wii, PS3, XBOX360
3. A nice romantic getaway (just the 2 of you)
4. What about any of this: http://www.karatedepot.com/karategifts.h...
When you say technology, I assume IT (information technology eg computers), instead of D%26amp;T (design and technology) as they are 2 different things, if it is IT then:
1. A new graphics card
2. A newer CPU (processor)
3. More Ram
4. Neverwinter nights 2 (game for pc)
Hope this helps, there are alot more, this is just a start :)|||Jet Lee to beat the **** out of him so hell stop wasting time and money on those fake Karate schools, they teach you nothing|||Is there a Sensei near you that he hasn%26#039;t studied with that he admires? Perhaps you could schedule some classes for him. Not sure how much you have to spend but you could make it bigger too by travelling somewhere to work with a well known and respected Sensei.|||A good *** kicking from an authentic Tibetan temple trained Shaolin fighter monk. He%26#039;ll love it.|||I would want a makiwara board at my house.....|||a playstation 3
