oh, i'm well aware that the moon landing is thought by some to be a giant hoax, i just don't ever recall saying so. then again, i really haven't researched both sides much. i've more or less just taken the easy way out and believe what my teachers told me on this matter

it's probably a bit more slap stick humor.

uh... maybe i misread you, but when did i say the moonlanding was a fake?

bush says he's gonna try another moon landing before his term is up, too. he hopes it will boost the economy and US pride... we'll see what happens...

i haven't seen many failed black belt tests either, but maybe that's just a midwestern thing.

great teacher onizuka. an unorthidox and... excitable... high school teacher who also happens to be a martial artist.

well they're not really dragonball z, are they? though i'm with you, it's far from the best anime around; i've always been a rurouni kenshin/GTO fan myself. i always meant to check out trigun, but i never got around to it. still, i have fond memories of watching DBZ... and a lot of the fight scenes are just flat out cool.

pmh1nic-Happy Birthday TJS- yeah, sorry, i see where i'm off (though yes, i disagree with the dictionary on several counts). what i meant to say was with all the rules and what not it's not like any of the fight's round here. of course, none of the fights 'round here seem much like the fights everywhere else. much less brutal

really? i thought they just split it in half

I'm from verona, WI, a small city right outside of madison. i'd love to trade with one of the english people, but i don't think they'd be very pleased, it sounds about the same

ach; looks like hwa rang do calls our tiger claws eagle claws then. thank you

well, i hear they're better on the wrists. i'd probably let the blisters heal and then not do them on concrete. condition my knuckles elsewhere. but whatever. that's just me

TJS, this argument has been done to death on this forum. no sense arguing on this thread and closing it. especially before i find out the difference between a tiger claw and an eagle claw

wow... two minutes and i'm pretty winded if i don't do to well... gotta work on my endurance... i did like the old guy who was jumping up and down those poles. that was pretty neat. wish i could do that...

well, i was joggin my normal morning run, being a cross country runner and all, i gotta stay in shape in the off season. i'd gone about three miles already, so i was tired and a little out of breath (desperately tries to defend his defeat ), ran across 3 guys who were clearly drug dealing, and i figured i'd just keep on going. well, they saw me, picked up some sticks, came after me, and just beat on me all things considered, i don't think i did that bad, but it was still a loss. it was over in probably 40 seconds, though i'm not especially sure. and no, i don't exactly do kung fu, so that's not it btw, as long as there are kung fu guys around, what's the difference between a tiger claw and an eagle claw? i don't wanna start a thread if it's just one simple answer

well, i've been reading this thread for a bit now, and have noticed a couple of things: A) Sano, for the love of god, you're gonna get yourself killed one day. WWF is not real fighting, nor is dragonball z, no matter how much you want it to be. if you ever tried to "scissor kick" me, you're likely to get nailed in the groin. typically it's advised that you don't sit their and splay in front of your opponent. nor should one openly turn his back. i'd like to see you turn your back on cung lee and dare him to attack you, as you'd mentioned on another thread. see what happens B) Anyone who says kung fu is useless is a fool. just flat out, there's nothing more to say. the guys at your local kwoon may suck, but you can't berate tried and true styles of martial arts C) UFC is not a fight, you'd best not consider it as one D) Of all the street fights i've been in, which is admittedly not many, they've all been a minute or less. not to imply that that sets the precident for all street fights, that's just my experience. and the two that i've lost were over the quickest. let that be a lesson for all of you: when you see three people drug dealing in a forest armed with sticks, just run the other way as fast as you can. don't continue jogging along you're merry way, just run the other way, as fast as you can

nor is it limited to english speaking countries (that's australia, btw). i've seen france, japan, mexico, the czech republic, estonia, new zealand, germany, i think there's a russian floating around here somewhere, but he just dosen't say it on his profile. could be wrong, though.

we are tested on forms. you don't get the entire form until you're up to standard, so i guess it kills two birds with one stone.

i saw it yesterday afternoon. not the best movie i've ever seen, but i definitely enjoyed it

oh, and one of my all time favorites, "you can build a throne of bayonettes, but you can't sit on it for long"

"First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me."

russell crowe? attractive? no! now brandon boyd, he's attractive! and i challenge you to find me a man in his 40's more attractive than tom cruise

one of the instructors at a black sash test in my school decided to make sure all of the people testing were wearing their cups, because groin shots are legal at our school. instead of asking like he usually does, he went right up to the first guy, kicked him in the groin, and moved on. if you hadn't guessed, no, he wasn't wearing his cup. ironically, everyone else was

gah, orlando bloom is so over rated! anyway, master and commander... ships and stuff... uh...

that made my day!
