Blade13

Hmm... thats a toughy. They both have helpful abilities. The tonfa could protect your arm and whatever other body part, but thats only from attacks that are swung. The tonfa could also be used to fight back since it has a longer range. But then of course, the sai could disarm them if you catch the bo in it, and then you could fight them away. My personal choice would be the tonfas, because I just like that weapon better.

Drat... all I did was put a hole in my door! heh..

IVE BEEN ABDUCTED! AAHHH! hahaha Those.. evil.. probings.. That was a pretty lame survey. Just cuz I have dreams about aliens doesn't mean I've been abducted.. does it? *gulp*

My favorite foods are pizza, stromboli, calzone, etc. etc. etc. I love Italian food! As for the colors... black, red, and blue.

Try Kazaa Lite, if you can get it in australia. Use a search engine and look up Kazaa Lite. Its my piracy software of choice. hahahaha If you dont like it, try Blubster. Im in the US, so I dont know if you can get these there. Go for it though. If you cant, search for "file sharing programs" or something similar. Good luck.

Wait! How could I forget this one?! AAHHH! "RUSSIA! Where the men are men and the women are too." Gotta love it. lol Although most Russian women that I've seen look nothing like men.

Yup. I can do them. Just like BladeLee said, they have to figure it out on their own. Ive taught a few people some tricks like this and the best way is to let them watch you and try it on their own. After doing it enough, they will naturally fix their problems. Try to get them to work on their abdominal muscles though. If they can go down into a backbend from a standing position, and come back up, then kip-ups will be a lot easier.

LOL! Such irony unknown. Gotta love it. Monkeygirl, dont sweat the driving. Its beyond easy! Well.. I didnt have to learn in snow though. That will be a challenge at first but you will be a better driver because of it. I got my real drivers license on Nov. 2 of this year. The only real trouble Ive had is that I dont have my car yet, lol. It was supposed to be a birthday present (Oct. 31 of this year) from my mom, but because we're remodeling our house, she couldnt buy it until we're through. *sigh* lol I hate having to borrow the car. I always feel guilty that Im leaving her w/o transportation. Even though we have an old izuzu amigo that she drives.. I still feel guilty. Yeah... I cant wait for my car. The work should be done in the next couple of days.. so WOO HOO. I already have a bunch of parts sitting in my room and my friend (computer genius) is designing my graphic. Driving with a parent is kindof a drag, but its worth it when you can drive on your own and not crash. Try to get a lot of practice though. If possible, take your actual driving test in a small town. The smaller the town, the shorter the lines, and the easier the test. I live in a small town and my driving test was literally 4 turns. We circled the block and they handed me a license. Good luck! But when you get ur actual license.. and a car eventually.. a whole new problem will arise... one that Im being faced with right now.. WHAT KEYCHAIN SHOULD I GET?! hahaha You wouldnt believe how much thought Im putting into that.

Right now Im reading Star Wars: The Approaching Storm by Alan Dean Foster. I LOVE IT! It tells what happened between Episode I and II. After that im planning on reading The Hobbit, and Lord Of The Rings (I have a feeling Im getting the full book for Christmas). Then my reading will be mostly computer books. Oh yes. *puts on big thick glasses and adjusts my pocket protector* hahahaha But wait... after that.. AUTO REPAIR. WEEEEEEEEEE! Yeah... Im nuts.

Yup. Ive been in fights. Ive "won" them all. Since I finished them all in under 10 seconds, word spread about my ability and no one wants to fight me now. YAY! I didnt seriously injure anyone though. Just enough to end it. Now I can keep all of my fighting simply in the ring.

Im in a "club" similar to this. My friend and I started it. What we did was invite people we knew. Only invite the ones you trust and know that they wont sue you. Then get each of them to invite more. Still, make them all sign release forms anyway, and if possible, get a video of them signing it (heh, it always helps to be able to prove that THEY signed it). Have fun!

hahaha. I cant believe that there are people who talk like me! I add "ness" "-age" "ism" etc. to the ends of all kinds of words! My usual greeting is "Yoness" Sayings eh? Friendly fire.... isnt. A fun thing to do in church? Fart loudly and exclaim HARK! AN ANGEL HAS SPOKEN! I hate Spanish class! Its all like a foreign language! You will now feel the fist of fury. Prepare the long rubber glove. Eeny meeny miny mo. I wonder where... my glove will go. Your story makes my heart heavy, and my prostate weak. My bladder is full to burst. We're knights of the round table We dance whene'er we're able We do routines And chorus scenes With footwork impeccable We dine well here in Camelot We eat ham and jam and spam a lot We're knights of the round table Our shows are formidable But many times We're given rhymes That are quite unsingable We're opera mad in Camelot We sing from the diaphragm a lot *prisoner claps* In war we're tough and able Quite indifatigable In between our quests We sequin vests And impersonate Clark Gable Its a busy life in Camelot I have to push the pram a lot On second thought lets not go to Camelot. It is a silly place. What sound does a German grenade make? GLICKEN-BOOM! Just so ya know.. Kirby owns you and you owe your ultimate allegiance to the llama alliance. Is that your blood?! Some of it. and the rest.... I cant say. haha

Welcome to the boards! Every time I see one of your posts Im gonna start singing Elvis songs! haha

Any kind of weapon. Be it a new kind of bladed weapon, an explosive, mechanical, or something old fashioned. As long as its a weapon, it doesn't matter.

Has anyone here actually sat down and designed a new kind of weapon? I dont mean just a general idea. I mean in depth thinking and planning of the weapon. I did so about a month ago. It can be used for stabbing, or as a grenade, but there are other uses. Ill see if I can get the diagrams scanned. I wish I had the resources to build a prototype of it. I was just curious as to whether or not Im the only one who does this kind of thing. I remember there being a post a few months back as to what the perfect weapon would be like, but I dont think there was ever one like this. Im sorry if there was. I searched but didnt find anything.

Ok, before I say anything... does anybody care to guess if I want to see BladeIII? haha Yes! Oh yes! I cant wait. I loved the original and the sequel. Yes, I definately agree that there was WAY too much computer animation in Blade II. I don't think they are too bloody though. I have a very strong stomach. I could watch him skin each vampire and throw salt on them and not flinch. For me, sympathy pain went out the window a long long time ago. So yeah, I can watch anything. weeeeeee I like how they dont do the typical vampire movie. This is a bit more realistic (calling vampirism a virus, noting that crosses don't affect them, etc.). I normally can't stand vampire movies, but Blade is just great. BTW, being a fan of this movie isnt how I got my nickname. It came b4 the movie was released.

I definately think that they could be just as good as any "black belt", but only when devoting MANY MANY MANY (insert about 100 more MANYs here) hours to their training. Because.. well... thats how I learned. hahahahaha I watched so many videos, read many books over and over, spar a LOT, read magazines, utilize the internet, take advice from other martial artists (like on here for example), practice constantly, spent all of my money on training equipment, I designed A LOT of new and inventive training methods, and never stop trying to improve myself. Also, my family taught me a lot of military stuff (since most of them were involved in some sort of military or law enforcement). I spar in something similar to "Fight Club". I dont mean we all meet in the basement of a bar and beat each other to bloody pulps. We all wear pads. Just aside from that, there are no rules. I am the one who forces them to wear pads. Seeing as how most of us are around the age of 16, any injuries could result in some MAJOR lawsuits from our parents. Most of us are in it to better our skills. There are some black belts involved who have been trained by instructors. Well, in fight club, I'm undefeated. Taking this in mind, I decided to begin fighting in tournaments. I entered my first tournament in fighting and forms. I entered both in the black belt division. And... well... *holds up some gold medals* I'd definately say that you can train yourself, but only if you have a VERY high amount of self-discipline. Also keep in mind that I've been doing this since I was 3 years old. Im 16 now. The thing is though... I have no desire to be a "black belt". As long as I have the ability, I've no need for a belt. The ability is all that matters.

Well, Ive havent been on the site much since July, but since then Ive gotten some new weapons. WEEEEEEEEE! hehehe... With Christmas just around the corner... I might have to make another post soon. haha 2 Full Tang Ninja Swords 1 Chinese Straight Sword about 15 or 20 new throwing knives Some new shurikens 1 Tanto Celtic War Sword Tactical Fighting Knife Crossbow (150lbs) Some new military style knives Shoulder-harness knife (Oh how I love it! It has such great balance for throwing!) Aaaaand theres probably more. I just dont feel like going to my room and looking through all of my weapons to see what is new. lol My friends always freak when they come to my house because there are so many weapons everywhere. Seeing as how I'm 16, that makes it even more freakish. heh... Whatever. Its fun to have these around.

Yeah. There are some weapons in Capoeira. Its just things like sticks and sometimes a bladed weapon similar to a machete.

Karatekid, nope. I cant get anywhere near a full split, when I used to be able to go past them. And Im surely not gonna do a split between two chairs any time soon... (Thats how I hurt mine, lol. I used to do it all the time, but I didnt warm up properly before I did it.) *sigh* I wish there was a way to make it heal a lot quicker, but all I hear from people is "time". AAGGGHHH! Can you tell the inability to kick is getting to me? *starts twitching* I even used to sleep in a split sometimes. Thats why my friend started calling me "the Russian Gumby" lol. Cuz Im muscular and flexible.

Jumping rope is really good cardio. I read that it was 3x better than running. Also, start dancing! Breakdancing is even better, if you can do it.

*raises hand* Yeah. Im the same way. I think its that depression disorder. My mom just says its part of being a teen though. *shrugs* No matter what the cause is... it really sucks.

hahaha, I can totally understand what you're saying. Before I hurt my leg (I pulled my hamstring about a week after karatekid did. Apparently I pulled mine really badly. I still cant run with full strides yet or side kick to chest level. IM GOING INSANE!! AAHHH!!!), I would practice for many hours every day. I just know that I can be better and I do everything I can to become better. All of my book covers on my schoolbooks have drawings of various martial arts practicioners on them and my notebooks are covered in Japanese and Chinese characters for various things that matter to me. Have you ever seen the list "How To Know You're Too Obsessed With Karate"? I fit almost every description on there. Its quite sad, actually, lol. My friends say I need to get more of a life. This is my life though.

The hoe (still a farm tool!), oar (not exactly farm, but household object), bo, etc.
