I will say it again, Welcome...so how many different schools are represented here?

hmmm...never heard of wushu, but welcome, I can always learn something new...nice looking site by the way! James

Welcome --H-- (yeah I know I am a little late) you are interested in most of the sports I am interested in as well...haven't ever done Aikido but I have an instructor who is a black belt in it, and it looks awesome (and deadly ) James

Welcome! I lived in Oregon for 7 years...what part of Washington are you in? Welcome! James

Welcome, I hope to start Kickboxing sometime here, are you fighting in tournaments or just learning the art for now? Welcome! James

What 'type' of martial arts is 'hapkido'? what kind of strengths (kicks, punch, chi, throws, etc.)? Just wondering, welcome! Look forward to talking with you.

Welcome, you definitely keep yourself busy, full contact, wow, do you enjoy that (I guess you do if you have six stripes )

Wow, an all around martial art's guy you have learned a wide variety of arts...good job, hope you are having fun...so how different do the different styles seem to you? James

Hi, tell us/me how your tournament went I haven't competed yet either, but am seriously considering it, the opportunity just hasn't arrived yet (me and my crazy schedule ) James

Welcome is this KarateForums or KUGB forums? Lol Just Kidding, welcome James

Hi, GoldDragon, you have probably figured it out by now, but yes this site is for all martial arts, actually this site isn't a 'kickboxing.com' site but we have just partnered with them to be their forums, this is a totally different organization...so feel free to post your knowledge everywhere, look forward to talking with you. James

Hi, Kurt...how do you like Muay Thai? I am considering starting it myself, I also study Judo, look forward to some great discussions with you in the future. Sincerely, James

Hi, Slim, glad to see you here (as all the new people who are here since I have been gone)...I have a sensei who has a similar story as yours but it was about his friend they work in the prison system and he got pushed out by in inmate in the back of a truck going about 50-55 still alive, the power of the martial arts

Welcome, yeah I am late but trying to catch after two months takes a while, maybe I will get into an argument about 'chi' later but I don't have the time now Sincerely, James

Hi, well Warlock it seems that you have found out how to be a 'sensei' congratulations, anyway...your questions seem to have been answered, but welcome, and good luck! Sincerely, James

This is an announcement to let users know that (if you haven't already realized ) that this site has been hacked by an outside party. This party has changed all the links at the top of this site to redirect to a pornography site as well as some at the bottom of the page. The only person who has 'legal' access to the Control Panel for this site is Patrick who for some reason has not been on here (rumor has it that he is sick), therefore while we are aware of the problem we are unable to fix it at this time. Please bear with us as we try to resolve this problem! Thank You! James Dasher Master (Assistant Administrator)

Just to 'refresh' your memory... I have been gone for two months on a mission trip to Honduras, Central America with an organization called Teen Missions, Int'l (http://www.teenmissions.org). I got back August 21st. I was in the mountain parts of Honduras in the middle of nowhere pretty much and didn't have access to the internet/email the entire time. Bye for now

Hi, everybody, I am back...I had a great trip and I am now trying to get back into the swing of things...it will take a bit (have to catch up on my 1000 or so emails, and such )...but I am back... TTYL James

Hi, I leave tomorrow at 10:00 in the morning for Florida, USA for two weeks of training then I am off to Honduras, Central America for 6 weeks of missions I will be doing construction work and evangelism...see you all in two months James

I study Tae Kwon Do as my main 'art' as well, and I guess it would depend on who you are and where you go as to how much 'pressure' is put on the legs compared to the hands, I would say it is even in the Dojo that I study at.

feel free to contact me anytime... ugh, Geocities, if you decide to go with a free host there are definitely better ones than that, wouldn't recommend a free host if at all possible, but go ahead and contact me. _________________ James Dasher - [Contact Me] http://www.ifroggy.com/karateforums/forums/images/smiles/karate.gif [ This Message was edited by: jamesdasher on 2001-06-09 14:44 ]

lol, while we are on the subject here is why I would still say 50/50 while you can put up a pretty good fight with leg work if you know what you are doing...if a person has any fighting skill he will immediately move inside of your range and 'jam' you...making it impossible for you to kick him unless you can get away...therefore, your leg work becomes useless, what then? that is why I say it is 50/50 both are important; both have their reasons, and both have their points, strengths, and weaknesses, and times for use. Work the leg work develop your strength but don't forget the hands...they can be your lifesaver in a situation, or your death without the use of them.

he is talking about a website depends on what level of a website you want...do you want a 'personal' domain name? many questions, if you are really interested in getting one contact me, I can possibly help

Actually, we didn't really do anything special for my birthday though I am definitely looking forward to getting my license, YES!

While later than some if you stick with it you can do well. Anyway, you aren't the oldest person I know who started. Check out the below link http://www.worldblackbelt.com/WorldBlackBelt/fma_trudy.asp?SnID=629410989 she goes to my school (she just tested for her black belt at the last black belt test held ) So, keep going
