Can you blame people for not respecting the martial arts? Most schools out there are mcdojo's packed with 5 year olds and black belts who couldn't fight there way out of a paper bag.
Kyokushin for three years. I started because i quit the wrestling team (messy issue) and needed something to keep me in shape. Unfortunatly my school closed. Since then I've been training at home (got the punching bag) and with some of the other people from the school. Going to try and find new place in fall. As for beating someone up i've had to a few times because -he wanted my wallet -he "grabbed" a female friend of mine -he had hit my little sister (right in front of me to) happy no one was seriosly hurt
As long as were on the topic of extreme weight loss... I've just lost 10 pounds in a week!!! I just started a summer job that is extemly physicaly demanding but still. TEN POUNDS!!! I know it's not water because i can see where i lost the fat. I have a six pack again! Am I in any danger from this? By the way i'm 5'9 and 170 (was 180)
What about Britain vs. Zanzibar. It only lasted 40 minutes and no british soldiers were killed. I'm not to sure how the other side did but they did lose their independance.
