Titanium

A truly amazing story. Thank you for sharing this, your youngest certainly does have the spirit of a martial artist. Congratulations are in order, I imagine you are immensely proud.

Welcome to KF! We're all passionate MA's here. Good to have you on-board.

Congratulations!

Cool, looking forward to it.

Not at all, it worked for Buddhist Monks for centuries; its not as common nowadays unfortunately.

Ah thanks. I'm glad to be back. Getting new laptop tomorrow as my other went down with me and broke. She be here very frequently now.

Nothing will stop me...even if I couldn't walk. I am doing PT, trying to work the metal bones in. Told me minimum of 1 year before training.

Hey guys, thanks for your messages. Worst pain I've ever experienced. JR, ansitonium I believe - it has a 300 year life span, it'll see me out. It was over Tibet, China - major engine failure we believe. Dwx and bushido I appreciate your posts. Patrick thanks, I've got some catching up to do. No training for me in a whilse so I will simply be helping in the dojo etc.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Hi guys, Some of you may remember me. I haven't been active for about 7 weeks as I have been involved in an aviation accident above Tibet. I have been badly injured shattering both my left leg and right arm and snapping my shoulder in two. I have now has numerous experimental metal bones fused in my body and luckily can walk and write again - very sore though. Just wanted to let you all know I'm back and looking forward to participation again. A not too tough Titanium.

Ah that's so sad he's passed away. Amen to that Smullin. Welcome to KF by the way.

Well done!

A big well done.

Anyone can throw a punch or kick, but without the Budo and technique, the move is pointless. If I punch without knowledge or etiquette it is ineffective. If I punch with detailed knowledge of the art of punching, this is a formidable thing.

I am a master... Seriously; it is skill, age and contributions which form a master.

It certainly does my friend.

That's pretty good, I will look into that.

During summer our Sensei allows us to wear a t-shirt, however I prefer to wear my Gi top. I think it looks a little unprofessional when karatekas do not wear the full gi.

My friend, I would consider trying a session; I know what you are saying about you being tired, however I don't think you can truly get the feeling unless you get stuck-in.

Many thanks.

This is Noah's blog: http://www.karateobsession.com/ Thank you for your reply Patrick, Noah has sent it via a PM.

Thank you - I thank you for the congratulations.

Thank you for your kind words. I love the track - I have saved that to my YouTube account, many thanks. I'll share that with the Dojo tonight.

Well done Bob! A formidable amount of posts - all filled with great wisdom and useful knowledge.

This is a very good question...I think that the Sensei should have to show an skill set that they are still capable of the position that they are in. I can, on the other hand, understand why the senior ranks promote Dan grades with contributions to the art.
