7/11 1.5 mile run Abs Chest/ Bis

Top spot goes to the old samurai in "Last Samurai" that watches over Tom Cruises' character. Grizzled, quite, and totally a bad dude. He comes out of no where to chop down a host of ninja half way thru the movie. A close second, from my favorite martial arts film, is Alex Grady from "Best of the Best". He's part Rocky, part veteran top kick arch-type, and also a formidable character.

Agreed. Evolution is a must if the art is to: a)stay current based on our understanding of human learning, b) stay current based needs, c) stay current based on the individual practitioners. Each individual will have different attributes, and situations that should dictate how each person uses the art they are doing.

6/29 75 min of free roll w a nearby (relatively speaking) school. A good time was had by all.

It's a great style. And one that is so different from what you're doing now that it will fill in voids you have now. I took it up to fill in those holes in my stand up arts. Now I spend a majority of my martial time doing BJJ. Give it a go and see if it fits your personality and that you fit well in a nearby school. You won't regret checking into it.
