Oh damn, nice! A whole bunch of adult noobs! Obviously its usefulness against a weapon is minimal but do you think technique really makes a difference in hand-to-hand combat or self-defense?
Master the basics. All the sexy dumb shit is ineffective. It's the basic gross motor skill movements that are effective. All of that other stuff looks good. It's attractive to see and learn - all the fancy, exotic names of all of those fight disciplines out there. None of that will be there for you in a real violent encounter.

Focus on training your mind first. You have to develop a combative mindset. Otherwise, anything you learn physically will be a waste. We've all heard the expression, "where your mind goes, your ass follows." If some technique you are learning requires a tremendous amount of repetition for you to grasp it, toss it aside. It will never be there for you. It requires an enormous amount of physical repetition because you are only trying to learn it physically. You are not learning it mentally. Teach your mind first.

That's what 'one mind, any weapon' means. It's not about having an actual weapon. I could fuck somebody's ass up with a spoon off a table in a restaurant. It wouldn't require some kind of Jason Bourne sexy bullshit either. It's about having a combative mindset. With the proper combative mindset, you'd be amazed at what you can do against someone with a weapon.
Mindset. LOL. What a load of bullshit.
Although I'm quit sure you've never been a martial arts instructor in the marine corp, you speak of instructing some lame ass shit average joe the "mindset" over technique.

Mastering or being adequate in certain techniques gives you the confidence and "mindset" in a situation.
What you're speaking of, gives you a bunch of morons doing this :gay fight hand slapping: at any given situation.

And I bet you couldn't even annoy a semi-cold pea soup at a senior home, with a spoon.
Every forum has the troll faggot and you've earned that title. Congrats. I'm sure you have the faggot part down, but you really need to work on the troll part.

Sensei commented on how powerful my punches are tonight. Feeling pretty proud of myself. But then like the truly fucking awkward individual I am, I had to spar with him on a punch/armbar combo and instead of grappling I pretty much hugged him. I got a sniff of sweaty man smell and lost my concentration. I am hopeless.

Good thing mine is short then, eh! If anything gives on me, its gonna be my hip, I can already feel the deep burn when we do certain leg raises. When did we get so old? :(

I just ordered us some MMA style gloves for sparring. Up next are shin guards.

Might want to stretch out the hip flexors a bit more after you warm up

Cumulative. Just your typical joints wearing out. Left ACL repair, right meniscus repair, right TKR. Although my right knee was hurting and I had bad osteoarthritis, I was doing fine until I did something (not sure what) to acutely injure it further. As a nurse, I need to walk well, so I just had it replaced.

Wait, adults can join kids' karate classes? If this is for real, I'll join today just to be able to legally kick and punch children. Please tell me you're not fucking joking.

How would it be a joke, I posted a photo of me sparring with a child. My sensei even called it "legal child abuse".

It's not a kids class though. It's a small town, it's all ages, we have people in class from 10-50+. In a full class theres 5 adults, a bunch of teens and a few kids. And dont assume just because you're bigger, youd have the upper hand. Judging by your posting, you're crotchety, likely overweight and slow.

I weigh 145 lbs, dude. Between the long hair and my build I look like a heroin addict. I don't think I'll have a problem smacking some little kids around.
