Kind of, yes. http://www.liljononline.com At the end of the day, everyone likes different music and as long as you like it, that is what matters. Music is a personal thing. This topic is for those who are into him/his music. Thanks.

Thank you for the submission.

Welcome.

Sorry to hear that.

Thanks.

You're not the first (won't be the last) and I've never tried to hide it. No, I don't mind. I saw a name, had an idea, felt a need. I felt I could do it well. So, I started a site, worked hard and nearly 5 years later, here we are.

Welcome. A McDojo is commonly a martial arts school/dojo where profit is the most important thing with no equal.

I appreciate the kind words, but I don't LOVE MA. I don't have anything against it and I find certain parts of it interesting certainly, but I don't and have never taken any martial arts. Thanks.

Welcome.

Hello, We have removed a post from this thread in error. It is below. I apologize for the confusion. Thanks. Actually thats wrong:1. Hands and feet should NOT be used in equal balance. Watch a UFC fight. It is about 80% hands/20% kicks because that is what works. I know MMA is not a street fight. Nonetheless, it is the besting testing groud available for techniques and is perfectly relevant here. 2. Feet are fine as an initial attack. For example, lead leg front kick>takedown (classic Royce) or Thai roundhouse to thigh whenever you want. 3. I'd argue if you tied the AVERAGE boxers hands behind his back and set him against the AVERAGE karate fighter (notice I didn't say martial artist: Boxers are martial artists) I'd bet on the boxer. He'll have much better balance and mobility than the standard karate fighter, and most importantly, he will be used to getting hit. The average martial artist is unconditioned to all-out sparring and is in worse physical shape than the boxer. I'd bet on the boxer 8/10.

Hey, Dragon Warrior was great! I haven't played all of them, though. Only a couple. I haven't played a console game in many months. I just don't find the time! I will one day. I'm pretty much a Nintendo person. One game I do play a fair bit right now is American's Army, but that's an online PC game...

Yes.

Welcome.

I like to look at every post as 3 days training. So, you must train here for over 8 years before you get a black belt. It's just for fun, of course. Congrats.

Welcome aboard.

Hello, I removed a post from this thread in error. It is quoted below. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you. maybe you didn't read all the posts ,nobody wanna mix the katas, mixing the systems has done before by many karate masters , although you are a student of Chibana system but he was not the only master, or best of them in any given day. if Mabuni mixes the two systems then it means it is possible. your interpretation of Osae is yours ,it's not a fact, Motobu was one of the best fighters in all okinawa ,he was basicly from shuri-te yet you see his blocks are way deeper than others, He was never talked about osae like chibana did but you can see it in his posture, katas like sanchin,tensho or saifa can be transfered to any shuri-te school without problem, if you mix two style ,you don't have to block the first punch like shuri-te and second punch like naha-te. you don't have to take one step Goju , one step kobayashi. you pick up your basic like Mabuni did or shimabukoro did, you wanna knock out somebody you are not afraid of dying ,you just walk to him and punch him, the second you drop your weight behind the punch you are in Osae either you believe it or not. if you spar like a shotokan guy in a tournoment with your head 5" behind your body then of course there is no Osae you want it or not. make the story short , we only wanna pickup 5 katas from each styles.

Thank you for the submission.

Well, I'd be glad to meet anyone, of course. But, I would especially like to meet past and present members of my staff here. Pat, Doug, Tammy, Heidi, Greg, Laurie and others. And I suspect, one day, I will.
