Hello, In order to make it easier for users to report problem posts to us, we have launched a new report posts feature. From the User Guidelines: Thank you for reading.

Hello, KarateForums.com recognizes one member every month as the Member of the Month for their positive contributions to this community. The April 2005 selection is... Shorin Ryuu. Congratulations!

Hello, Well, time to break the silence here. April Fools! It is not (neccessarily, anyway) that we don't believe that these things could be possible (and we're not trying to insult anyone who does believe in them, etc.), but with the overwhelming voice of this community being one of disbelief, we thought it would be fun to make people scratch their heads a bit when our staff comes out and says that not only do they believe, but they have personally witnessed. Doug's part was not written by Doug, but by Rachael (I felt having a fourth name would help the article's believability ). The other pieces were written by those who signed them with Tammy writing the intro as well. So, it was a true staff article, just not a real article. Thanks.

Exactly. (And not just the martial arts, of course, everything). There are disrespectful adults, disrespectful younger people, whatever.

This thread is very old (and kind of pointless), so I am going to close it. Thanks.

Welcome.

Since the user being asked a question is no longer active here, I am going to go ahead and close this thread. Thanks.

Ok, I have a gi, a crest from parkerlineage, the certificate and the belt from Rachael. I think I'm ready to go. Patrick's Internet Dojo launching May 1. Black Belts in under 90 minutes or your money back!

Thank you for the submission.

As this thread is really old and the topic starter is no longer an active user here, I am going to go ahead and close this. Thanks.

Please answer the questions posted by the thread starter directly and stay on topic. Thank you.

Yeah, generally it means parents. There is curriculum. You choose your curriculum (having the freedom to choose your own curriculum is a good thing) and do your work. I actually kept most to myself without my Mom for the last few years (high school). Just didn't need anyone really. Was pretty self sufficient. And, of course, if I hadn't been homeschooled, there really wouldn't be a KarateForums.com. Or a KarateForums.com with me running it, that is.

Sure am!

Really?! AWESOME! I have to find a gi!

This is very old, folks. I am going to close it. Thanks.

Really? Dang it! I will have to get that seperately. This sure is adding up...

Congrats on 1,000.

Nope.

Thanks. Hey, wow, you're right. We're rocking this month.

I was, too. But, that's actually better because we get to choose when we get our break, rather than having it predefined.

Finally! Just what I was looking for.

Hello, Yes, I am. Post count isn't particularly important, though. You can view a top 10 list at http://www.karateforums.com/statistics.php - thanks.

This topic is really long off topic (and a bit old), so I am going to close it. We allow discussions on religion as it relates specifically to the martial arts, not general discussions on religion. Please keep this in mind everyone. Thank you.

Happy Easter.

Why would you ever want to start taking drugs? Or become an alcoholic? Or become addicted to anything? You don't, but it happens.
