Welcome jj Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

Welcome DJCERK, have fun.. Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

When I get around my ex-wife, that's a hostile situation Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

For me, it was the culmination of all the training I received, the kata, the sparring, the pushups, the failures and successes, the taking and giving of hits, the briuses and blood loss, the explanations given to me for the moves and patterns, kata and bunkai, the constant "keep your guard up"!! I really don't believe that one style or discipline is superior to the others, I believe that the individual controls and displays his/hers experience and training in their own respective "art" Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

You can theorize all you want about the difference between point, full, continuous, or any other "sanctioned" sparring events, if the event (tournament/competition) is using UTK rules, judges /referees will and does subtract points if certain contact rocks the cranium...point of contact (target area), control, speed, and delivery are paramount to scoring well. I'm not quite sure as the reference to a "real" fight , please enlighten me Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

I smoke socially, don't drink, and not once, not ever, did I have sexual relations with Monica Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

TKD the kicky, slappy, sport isnt, but that's another story, no? Yes, I'd like to hear the other story Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

That's true for me I started training at 38 and I'm 49 now, training for the US Open in Orlando this July My hats off to those who train in multi-disciplines, as a matter of fact, one of the katas I perform at tournies , we call Bat Sai ( Bassai Dai (Major) ), which I believe is "borrowed" ? from Shotokan... for me the confidence came after a coupla years and several FAME and ISKA tournies, but then again I'm slow as wet gun powder everybody learns at thier own pace ...keep up the good work... Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

That's what I'm thinkin' as well...for a "martial artist" to compete in a discipline he is not trained or belted in is (to me) unethical and a breach of code to the respective discipline..makes me wonder what the final payoff was Thanks for letting me express my thoughts and opinions Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

Yes, it's nice to know a little about Mr. Royce Gracie's tactics in times of peril Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

My sentiments exactly Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

To me it's not a waste of time if it's required to achieve the next belt level, ultimately, the coveted Black Belt...I also find it helps my focus, concentration, discipline in remembering the sequential movements, and my stamina/endurance....plus I can win trophies to stick in the back of my closet Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

My opinoin is, that if you take a human life, regardless of your mental capacity/quality,ethnic background,religious preferrence, or style of dress, you may not be responsible, but you need to be held accountable for your actions.... Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

If you care for house, techno, or trance, Ibiza, Spain is the spot Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

I agree with the everlast brand

Some say washing the belt washes the knowledge out Now, if you have a Tokaido silk black belt, try the dry cleaners... http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521 Peace [ This Message was edited by: jakmak52 on 2002-06-21 21:29 ]

Would you say that to Master Billy Blanks!?!?!? Yes, I would say it to him... http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521 wouldn't you

Really...c'mon...you call that hostile? http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521 Peace

Hi Rodan, I'm 49 and started TKD at 38 , I do what my body allows with some help from "Celebrex" and ice packs Good for you, you're not letting anybody down. http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

Here's a ITF site that might help http://www.itatkd.com/index.html#ita%20menu Peace http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521

What exemplifies or resonates true "sport" TKD, whether ITF or WTF styles was the tournament held in Korea depicted in the movie "Best of the Best" with Eric Roberts (just my opinion) as well as some real bouts between Joe Lewis and Bill Wallace... I also crossdress..I mean crosstrain in "shootfighting" to enhance my regular discipine Peace out http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521 _________________ [ This Message was edited by: jakmak52 on 2002-06-21 20:45 ]

Welcome Rs-Apocolypse

My favorite workout is practicing my kata, it helps with my endurance and stamina as well as refining the kata itself.

I just want to see Padmé Amidala

Well I think that Bill C. could have better choice in women _________________ http://community.webshots.com/user/jakmak521 Or better discretion.. [ This Message was edited by: jakmak52 on 2002-05-14 08:09 ]
