Kupstako
Master Karl's
20 Precepts of "Kupstako-Kun"
1.
Kupstako begins with courtesy and ends with courtesy.
2.
First compete with yourself, and be at one with your cups before attempting to stack attack
others.
3.
Attitude is first, technique is second. Speed
is dependant upon these.
4.
Always be ready to stack, carry mini-stacks with you everywhere.
5.
Accidents (cracked cups) arise from negligence.
6.
Do not drink from your cups, they have holes in the bottom.
7.
It will take your entire life to learn the Art of Kupstako; there is
no limit.
8.
Devise ways to incorporate Kupstako into your daily life and you will find "Kupo"
(subtle secrets).
9.
Kupstako is like boiling water. If you do not heat it constantly, it
will cool.
10.
Do not think that you have to win, think rather that you do not have
to lose.
11.
Victory depends on your ability to focus on the blur of the speeding
cups.
12.
The tournaments results are according to how you move: swiftly, or sloppily.
13.
Think of your hands and fingers as those of Pastor Karl, and your
speed will increase.
14.
Inscribe
upon your Kupstako bag your name, so that when lost, they may return
to you more quickly. Initials upon the bottom of your cups is
wise as well.
15.
Beginners must master low stance and cup posture, speed
and rapid eye-hand coordination are for the advanced.
16.
Practicing Kupstako is one thing, engaging in a real tournament is
another.
17.
Do not forget to correctly stack: fix your fumbles, or all will be
lost.
18.
When you leave home, wonder when and where you might get to stack that day.
19.
Never think you are the fastest you can every be.... there is always
.01 faster!
20.
No, you will never beat Emily Fox.
