Do you mean.....focus your kid?  Maybe you should restate your question or ask another.

I agree with Meg. Before you start, pray that you'll be able to focus on what you are studying. Without prayers, you'll never have the strength to concentrate on it.

Use the makiwara.  It will help you focus your punches and make them stronger and faster.  You should get some instruction from and experienced karateka before using one.  And I don't recommend it for teenagers.\n\nHeavy and light bags are good for building power and speed, but for focus, the makiwara is best.

In General:\n\n--I'd want to know how to stay focused and motivated, without it always leaving me feeling emotionally damaged.  Seriously, it feels like I have to *push myself* like a slave driver to get anything at all done....and there has to be a better way.\n\nSpecifically, in terms of skills:\n\n--I wished I knew how to draw...no, I don't want to be Leonardo Da Vinci here, just some simple, cartoony, manga/anime styled drawing would be enough...but yeah, a part of me has always wanted to try writing a comic book, and I can do the writing part, even have a little potential with pencilling.  But my inking skills suck, and you need the inking to *get to the coloring*.  D'ohhh...\n\n--Or...I'd like to learn some form of martial art....not so much because I need to fight *right now*, ok, but because I am just plain tired of always being clumsy and out of sorts in my own body.  I'd like to learn something where I can move and groove a little bit more gracefully and efficiently, better than what I did when I was younger.\n\nHope this helps, and have a good one!  :)  Sorry to go on so....

Exercise more and get off the computer.  Exercise helps your mind focus.

I'm only an 8th Kup but I've seen other students practice Joon-gun and I know the move you're talking about, they bring the hands up slow with a loud drawn out exhale don't they? I can't remember anyone ever asking but remember that all Tul represent something as well as incorporate moves, and i know talking to the 2nd Kup students that i've seen practice it that when they are graded the instructors look for your control, switching speed ect. You have to really know the routine, at the lower levels you can memorise a routine and go through it without thinking, but when you have to slow down your stance is very visible, and if it's not good it notices. So all before the change in speed your stances need to be correct and you have to know what you're doing. That however is a practical consequence, instructors take advantage of it to look for things, i don't think it's the real reason. You can ask your instructor about it and see what he says.

My mom has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.  It is a hard martial art to master.  Some of the katas are really complicated.  She's broken ribs and toes during sparring.

Each time your mind wanders, make a tally in the appropriate section. Keep a card for each day. As your skills build, you will see the number of tallies decrease.\n\nMaximize your energy level\n\nWhen is your energy level at its highest? When are your low energy times? Study your most\ndifficult courses at your high-energy times. Sharpest early in the evening? Study your most difficult course then. Later in the evening? Work on your easier courses or the ones you enjoy the most. Most students put off the tough studies until later in the evening when they become tired, and it is more difficult to concentrate. Reverse that. Study hard subjects at peak energy times; easier ones later. This alone can help to improve your concentration.\n\nVisualize\n\nAs an exercise before you begin studying; think of those times when concentration is not a problem for you--no matter what situation. Now try to feel or imagine yourself in that situation. Recapture that experience immediately before your studies by placing yourself in those moments. Repeat before each study session.\n\nHow to Improve Your Concentration\n\nLearning to concentrate on reading and studying requires some practice. Concentration doesn't just happen as soon as you sit down to do some serious studying. You already know the requirements for your individual study environment. Now all you need is concentration!\n\nRead "How To Improve Your Concentration" to find some techniques to develop your concentration level for peak performance during your study time. After reading the article, you should be able to:\n\nIdentify four common concentration problems;\n\nExplain five techniques for action to reach the goal of peak concentration;\n\nApply three strategies to combat annoyance during study periods.\n\nHow To Improve Your Concentration\n\nStudents can improve study concentration and study ability by paying attention to the conditions of their study environment. On the other hand, concentration will be limited if study habits are not effective.\n\nYour ability to concentrate on a particular lesson depends on (1) how interested you are and (2) how effective your study methods are. Your interest in one assignment will be different from your interest in others; your interest level may even change during that lesson. Because of the difficulties of your motivation while you do your homework, here is the key to effective study: Depending on your interest level at a particular time of study, adapt your study techniques to strengthen your concentration when it is weak.\n\nWhat are the common reasons students lack interest or lose interest during study time?\n\nCommon Concentration Problems\n\nDuring a period of study, there are four times you may have problems with concentration. These are common times which challenge most of the students and you will often have to strengthen your concentration when they happen.\n\nWhen you are "warming up" to study, distractions will interrupt your attention.\n\nWhen you have been concentrating hard on your studying, you may suddenly become annoyed with the assignment.\n\nAfter a long stretch of continuous studying, you gradually become tired and your study results decrease.\n\nWhen you have come to the point of "diminishing returns" and you are losing mental effectiveness, exhaustion takes over.\n\nWhat do you think the student can do to improve concentration in these four examples? Here is an illustration that represents a student's ups and downs of concentration during a study period of over 2 1/2 hours.\n\nWarm-Up: Student should spend time in conditioning one’s own mind for studying.\n\nAnnoyance: After 35 minutes of intense concentration, the student's attention starts to weaken. Break time! Two 5-10 minutes breaks helps to get the concentration level back up.\n\nDiminishing Returns: The third time the student was annoyed by studying, but it was not possible to reach the same peak level of concentration.

My advice is find a karate school or even see if your local YMCA or community center offers karate and take it for 3 to 6  months in order to learn the basics then you may be able to continue your training at home. You'll miss out on some important skill like sparring and self-defense that requires another person by training at home rather than a dojo.

as you would be at a beginning level, it is mostly about movement and stretching and any time you have an injury movement and stretching work to build up the muscles again so as long as you go slowly and dont move your knees out of your limits you should be able to...speak to the Sensei and they will be able to modify the class to suit your injury.  I have taken Karate classes after being in a car accident, you just go slowly and stretch alot. good luck

I just got back from a tournament. many of my friends are black belts. I usually train with them and take everybodys advise cause u can never have too much advise when it comes to sparring. I personally don't watch their eyes cause that distracts me from what might be coming at me. I watch which direction their waist moves cause I can usually tell whats coming at me, that's just what I do. I also would try tricking ur opponent by throwing a few lower kicks so that when they expect a low kick u can score with a higher kick. It might seem that it would be obvious but trust me, it works. good luck at ur tournament.

Hi! It's best to try against a white wall or something white. It's important to remember not to try too hard. You don't want to focus intensely because remember, you're not using your human, physical eyes, you're using your spiritual 3rd eye. Lightly gaze several inches away from the surface of the person/thing and allow your eyes to go slightly out of focus. This takes practice but keep it up and you will achieve results! You can also practice with your hands. Have your middle and index fingertips on both hands, touching. This is a common position. Connect your thumbs as well, so you have formed a triangle with your thumbs and index fingers. Pretend that there's a dot in the center of that triangle. Focus lightly until you can see colors in the inside of the triangle. Good luck!
