fireka

they havent earned any with me. shimabuku wasnt given the chance to fight in the big tournamnets, he was to bust making a diffrence in the martial arts community to do something that would boost his own name. i would say some things that would show my own styles superiority to, but it would make some other styles try and reign down on me, in paticular shotokan. which i dont want to do, i seemed to have gained favor among the shotokan practioners here and i dont plan on destroying that alliance. But the fact is there is grappling in karate, were the heck did this whole striking art thing come in? its just untrue.

im a karate-ka, but i just read an article about the philosophy of the shadowless kick, this makes since. the thing is though, we are tought that being low gives you a better base for balance. i wonder if there is a way to combine the ideas of stances in karate, with the shadowless kick ideals of chinese martial arts.

geez, its even worse than you made it out to be TJS. i just got a blackbelt magazine, and theres a full page advertisment for gracie's stuff. i swear they are like a cm away from declaring themselves gods. they really are full of themselves arnt they? will, Renzo dosent look so scary to me. I bet you Master Shimabuku could have moped the floor with him. i dont have any disrespect for BJJ, but i dont like these guys. they are basically trying to replace the term BJJ with Gracie style, its sickining! Im going to defeat them but im early into my carrear...geez i dont want to have to lesson to this for ten years! cant anybody shut these guys up!

i agree, though i belive you can still be a budo kie and be a professinal competetion fighter.

i love K-1 i want to compete in it more than anything in my martial arts careear but its not televised were im at and the site is immpossible to navigate. the semi-finals are in vegas, friday august 15 at 7:00 PM. Could you guys tell me who at this point is competeing. if you give me names i know were to go to find information on the fighters, also any other news of this years bouts would be great. just something to get my knoladge ball rolling so i know what to look for and can keep up in the future.

me and my little brother have intergrated this movie into our every day lives. He used to get ticked when mom or dad told him to go to bed, but now he just walks off confiedintly and mumbles "urm, sleepy time!" then i asked him to help me find my wallet, and we were looking for it when we met in a hallway and he goes 'you go that way, ill go home!' and then he handed me my shoes when we were about to go to the store and he yells "THAT WILL BE FOUR BUCKS BABY! DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH THAT!" i show all his examples because its cuter coming from a nine year old, espicially when (and he does this all the time) im just talking and he comes up with the most perfectly recreated voice ive ever heard him do and goes 'his still alive betty! betty, still alive, Betty his still alive betty!"

hey that makes sence but i dont know that it applies to all styles. from what ive seen, okinawain styles seem defensive were japanese seem offensive.

lol yes! the zoom in scene with the guy in the kendo uniform, thats my favorite scene! actually im stuck between that one and the one right before it: "i mean, holy crap man! thats like that guys stomach plug on the ground back there.....you dont see that every day....i mean, that dosent even seem possible, if you think about it, with all those bones and organs and cartilage...i mean im no doctor but, that was like one clean chunk!" also another scene of the movie made me think as a writer about something. there are a lot of things that happen in stories to make the problem harder to resolve, but one of them is never simply 'i couldnt hear what you were saying' and if we wanted our stories to be realistic that would happen all the time. the other great thing about kung pow though, is how every time you watch it, you spot something you didnt the first time i.e. when master betty is performing his skill and being beaten with sticks one of the restraughts in the background says 'HOOTERS" in the typical giant orange letters. "i will not be stopped by a tiny net!"

i think its a little better this morning, it dosent hurt to sit down now. but ive got to fix it quick i go to work at five and my job requires a lot of bending and moving and even kicking stuff! (big metal doors, when your hands are full i just pull out a spining back kick and it usally takes care of them.)

nidan reminds me of fourteen. so far from adult, yet so far from a child. it is a confusing time in an artist life, i bet theres a lot of people who get here and this is the real moment of truth, because beyond this, karate really cant be a hobby anymore, thers no way. its either a way of life or your stuck were you are. i bet a lot of people quit at this point to. (im sure a lot of people will disagree with my budo statement)

yeaaa! aproval! now i just have to gain enough muscel weight to qualify as a heavy weight....oh shoot! i gotta do something before we are closed for beingoff topic. ummm.....hey TJS, your wrong about everything you said and i mright because...ummm.....because i can beat BJJ with two hands tied behind my back, a blindfold, and a direct intestinal hernia! ......(psst...hey! qoute me and stuff! QUICK!)

ive been considering changing mine to, what do you guys think (sorry, shotokan_fighter, if im stealing your thunder here, if so tell sai or Monkey girl to remove my post) i was thinking of changing it because its based around this philophy i came up with that man has seven persoanlities based around seven elements. my element is fire, which represents the extreamist. i either love or hate you, im ready to fight to the finnish, or flee like a coward, like the billy joel song: 'Go to extrems' im always finding some cause to belive in and can get very argumentive. the philosophy also shows how the relationship between the personalities=that of there elemental counter parts. problem is, the root of the philosophy was not to use your element as an excuse by to try and perfect it by using the skills your persoanlity gives you to benifit people, claiming fireka openly the way i have almost seems like i want this extremist thing to be a character traight, that i want it to be known how quickly i could spark. part of me does, but then thats not the idea. i dont know, what do yall think?

*sigh* i know, its this darned deslixia its the same every time! i really do have a skill for forgein languages, i learn them quickly, i can speak desent Japanese and am pretty darn good at German with a little background in russian. problem is, i can learn to speak them perfectly, even with an accent, but i can never learn to spell them. oh well, the strange thing is my hiragana is pretty good, its romanji that nails me.

well, im none of them, my name is Richard "The wildfire" Cox, and i wont know what i can do, nor will any one else, till i try i guess. i plan on fighting a lot in a lot of diffrent enviroments, as i sadi on another htread in response to stuff by you. so maybe, we will see i guess. BTW what do you think of my stage name? i thought it up myself it comes from a philosophy i invented about the seven personalities of man. ' man im pretty!'

ive been considering purchasing a tekken game for my PSone. just out of curiosity if your really familiar with the plot....whats up with the guys that have chetta heads and stuff! and i rember playing with a friend and unlocking a panda bear....i mean dude...come on....can it get any cooler! You know though if there gonna let animals fight like there professionals they need kangaroos since there the only bipedal animals i know of that fight professionaly against human fighters.

arigato gazamaus! ill give it a try.

you may be right, it might just be me, but from what i saw of the game and the movie for sure, it seemed few of the characters showed any signs of being at all human. they had no compassion, no will other than kill, kill, kill, kill. but then again, i probably shouldnt be so quick to judge, i love street fighter and i have never seen a worse movie in my life.

okay, guys come on! this really hurts!

the 1976 film 'Tiger and Crane fist" only problem is, i cant watch it without craking up, as it was redubed in my favorite movie of all time "Kung Pow! Enter the Fist!" which is were i got my qoute from.

i have marvel vs. capcom for dreamcast, its pretty fun, i like trying to make matches that seem like good cross overs (i.e. Zangief vs. Hulk, Wolverine vs. strider ect.) i dont like MK though, the characters are to god like and they dont seem to have enough personality of there own, which is excatly the reason i love street fighter, i am a writer, so i like solid motives for fighting.

and while your at it, go to the thread on the forum called 'black belt' and see what i had to say about it. because im smart and am worshipped as a god in three third-world nations.

i stick my tounge out at you! there...i did it! its going to happen okay dont worry about it guys, but dont litsen to statisticts i dont care what you all say, they can very easily be manipulated as we have just be shown. ill make a deal with you, after i become K-1 heavy weight champion of the world, i will come back and take on these gracie kids okay? in the mean time, play nice children!

Last tuesday, i went to the dojo and we were working on speed. so we like, had these drills, that were supposed to help increases our speed. Like jumping like insane monkeys and stuff. And then we sprinted across the mat with our knees in the air like we were mad men in a nudist colony. its been two days, and my hips and booty and stuff still ache! i tried putting on ice but i cant get the ice in everyplace it hurts at once! its so bad that i have trouble walking up and down stairs, i cant train at home because when i get down in a low poistion for balance it hurts like crazy! what should i do?

"i am a famous magician!....your clothes are red."

also it has the 2d figure promos they should on fox when the movie was coming out in theaters, i nearly died! Pain: Malcom in the middle is next...i will find his middle, and kill him! Chossen: You will not harm Malcom evil Betty!
