Welcome to KF!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to KF!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to KF!!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!

I'm not dressing out for Halloween...got to teach that night.

I agree. I'm just amazed at your Chiefs, that's all!!

It's a karate school/MA school, and not a dating school. Keep it outside, if one can't, then quit!!

I LOVE IT!! EXCELLENT!! I suppose that you'll do the same thing the day AFTER Halloween.

Meet his wild punching with a kick!! The legs longer than the arms, and he can flail away all he wants UNTIL he meets one of your kicks. Intercept his blitzes with a well meaning kick. Not to hurt him, but to let him know that you're right there and he'll have to try something else more effective. If you're not there, neither will his attacks. Transition out of his reach, and if you're game, transition him with forward angles. It can be quite upsetting to someone not ready for it. And of course, speak with your instructor because he/she is the final word.

Again... Proof is on the floor!!

To me, the only true way to test someones MA abilities in on the floor!! Everything else, imho, is suggestive. In that, I've never heard of him, but, that doesn't mean anything because the world is a big place, and that includes the MA world.

WOW!! And I mean WOW!! The amount of countries is mind blowing!! Thanks for the info, and I mean, it must of taken some time to assemble all of the data. See...that's why you're the Administrator, not just by title!! THANK YOU PATRICK!!

Great interview!! I've enjoyed your posts across the board; very deliberate keen sense of MA knowledge. Your contibutions don't go unnoticed, and in that, all members can learn a thing or two from you concerning the MA. I'm glad to as well that you're part of staff, and you're a vital part of staff, imho. Thank you!!

Great interview!! I thank you for the kind words!! They mean the world to me!! I've always enjoyed your posts because you're specific and to the point. You're equipment knowledge is excellent, and it should be because of what you do for a living. However, your MA knowledge isn't just about MA equipment and the like, no, you've, from what I've read, direct MA knowledge. So much so, that you're not lost in a conversation about a wide plethora of MA subjects. And your business sense is dead right on. Has to be in your line of work. Otherwise, your MA supply store would not be open. Thank you!!

Great interview!! My brother and I also enjoy watching Doctor Who, old and new. It's not Star Trek, and it's not suppose to be, but still, Doctor Who is right up there with the best on the tube. I've enjoyed your posts, each and everyone of them. Quite right on the mark, imho!! Thank you!!

Great interview!! I've always enjoyed your posts both for and/or against because your posts reached into the heart of the topic, no matter what that topic might've have been. Thank you!!

The MA, imho, haven't become a kid thing, however, kids are learning the MA!! Don't ever underestimate the kids that are MAists!!

Thank you!!

They can be!! Depending on how they're made, and by whom, I suppose. Most katana's that I've purchased haven't been for battle, but for the everyday use in and out of the dojo [tournaments, testing cycles, demos, etc]!!

Shindokan doesn't do fitness tests either, although, it's not a bad idea across the board. Something to consider!!

DITTO!!

I just love the choke names that you all have labeled them; sounds cute, but EFFECTIVE beyond just their names. LOVE THEM!!
