I get the feeling we have heard all we are going to from acott001..............

Welcome mate!

I have had some training in taking on dogs, it's a toughie, that video above just would not work, in kicking range the dog is already flying towards your chest or upper arm. You should assume that the dog has latched onto you. Crush chest/ribs with your superior weight if you can. He will likely be wriggling around on the end of your arm, so drop onto him if you can and destroy his ribs/chest with elbows or whatever. Finish him by "breaking the wishbone". Stand on one of his legs and lift his other leg with a strong jerking pull. Large mammals, well generally you are screwed, they do say that several people have been released by crocs etc by going for the eyes......

Wow, some really stubborn stains, soaked scrubbed it in, heavy duty wash and no go, stains have been there quite a while, might need some toxic assistance.....

Thanks man I'll try it out. Some of these stains have been there for a while.....

OK So I have a Japan made Tokaido 12 oz gi that has greyed considerably, has coloured belt stains and dirt type stains on knees and backside. Any recommendations on getting it back into a presentable condition?

Yeap, I want to gift it to my club, problem is we don't have a permanent home. Actually the book I bought as part of a library of MA and Seido books. that I am building up. Idea being that everyone in the club has access to good reference books, especially the younger club members.

Welcome back Jaymac.

Just read it, easy, interesting read. Surprised to see where the name "Shotokan" came from for the JKA.

If I'm not working I will be there!!! Sounds like an excellent idea! Regards, Colin

Any guidelines for sparring with a woman with and without, I hate sparring with a woman with no chest protector, and even if she is wearing one (I always ask), I struggle to target the chest area either way, normally while she lays into me with gay abandon!

There is also the ¨ONE¨league based in Singapore, I would love to see all the big leagues pit thier top guys into a true ¨World¨ championship. Very unlikely to ever happen tho....

Happy birthday mate! They just get better!!!

Don't you mean, have them turn off their cell phones as part of dojo rules?! Because, the cell phone is private property, and imho, no dojo has the right to take anyone's cell phone/private property away. Possibly in some parts of the world, but kids are kids and they can all go into a box for "safe keeping"..........

Oh yeah, I forgot............Take their phones away from them once they hop off the bus and they can get them back when they walk out of the dojo...............

Team building exercises sound appropriate, also maybe look at setting up a "Big sister, little sister" set up, where the older girl looks out for the younger and the younger has a older girl to go to. Not sure if you know exactly what I am trying to say. Bridge the age difference by getting them to engage in this way, a form of giving them some empathy for other's than their little "clique".

Gidday mate, if you're that guy,I might have met you before.

Good stuff man, Congratulations!

Welcome back Sentoka, friendliest MA forum on the interwebby!

Hello to you also!

Welcome to you Slab.

Welcome to the forums..

Welcome Arch A to the KF forums...

Just watched it, really enjoyed it, quite a good story line for a MMA type movie. I've added it to my favorites list.

I enjoyed that very much, love watching the kids getting into it. I think I'm going to park my car outside my garage too, looks awesome. Gotta prioritize!
