Black Dragon

Pay close attention to those who have good form in their katas, they are usually the best fighters also.

Like they said stay in the gym, until you find a place to train. Going to college in a couple years? Most colleges offer at least one style of martial arts, try to go with BJJ if you can. Your background should help you tremendously.

Congratulations, I heard getting a BB in BJJ takes a long time. If it took you 12 yrs. then you are super legit.

I would try to knee strike the ribs. That ends a fight pretty quick. If he wants to wrestle, a well placed palm heel or punch to the collarbone works well also. Although it is very underrated as a valueable technique.

If it is meant to be, continue being yourself and good things will happen. Dont rush it. How old are you? We may be able to give better advice knowing your age.

I also eat a Very light breakfast. Wake up 3-4 hours before I need to be there and stretch, stretch, stretch. I used to like getting "pumped up" but that only resulted in getting the jitters while I wait for my match. Relaxing and/or meditation is much better. I also wear my lucky draws too.

This guy lives in Westchester, NY and goes to school at Ithaca College. For two years, he has wanted to ask a certain girl (who is also from Westchester and also goes to Ithaca) out on a date, but has never had the courage. Finally, one day over the summer, he sees her at home and musters up the courage to ask her out. She accepts, and they make dinner plans for Saturday night. Friday night, this guy goes out with all of his buddies, and drinks like Prohibition is coming back. Saturday, he is in such bad shape that he can't make it through twenty minutes without either puking or doin #2. After several hours of this, he is able to stop puking, but he is still running to the toilet every 20 minutes to do #2. He doesn't want to cancel the date, because he's afraid he won't ever talk to her again. So they meet in Westchester, and take the train to New York City (about a 30 minute ride). They get to the restaurant, and he excuses himself during the appetizers to use the bathroom. They enjoy the rest of the appetizers without interruption, but he has to go back again during the entrees. They decide to get dessert. During dessert, our hero feels another rumbling, but doesn't want to look like a complete bathroom freak, so he holds it. After a few minutes, the rumbling subsides, but he still has a bit of gas stored up. He decides to let this little bit of gas fly right there at the table (discreetly, of course). Unfortunately, this little bit of gas came with another little surprise. 'Oh s***,' he thinks (and feels). Instead of running to the bathroom right away, our hero immediately leans on the arms of his chair to keep from sitting on this surprise. He maintains this yoga position for the rest of dessert, trying to figure out what to do before his tan pants (a) start to smell, or (b) start to show stains on the outside. He quickly pays for dinner and they leave the restaurant. Oh, by the way, he is walking like a cowboy. On the way to the train station, they pass the Gap. 'Do you mind if I run in and buy a sweater that I was looking at last week?' he asks. 'No problem, I'd like to look around too,' she replies. They go into the Gap. Fortunately, at the Gap, men's fashions are on the right, women's fashions are on the left. They split up. Our hero grabs the first sweater within reach, and hurries back to the khakis. After selecting a pair that most closely resemble his current outfit, he brings both items to the register. His eyes are on his date (still on theother side of the store) to make sure that she doesn't see him buying the pants. He doesn't even want the sweater, so he says through clenched teeth (just in case his date can read lips from 40 feet away) 'Just the pants.' 'What?' asks the Gap girl. 'Just the pants!' (Eyes still trained on his date.) Gap girl: 'Oh, OK.' He pays for the pants and walks over to his date, then they leave the store. They board the train just before it leaves the station and find two seats in the middle of the car. Without sitting down, our hero excuses himself and walks to the bathroom in the back of the car. He gets to the bathroom as the train departs, and quickly rips off his pants and boxer shorts. He rolls them into a ball and throws them out the window. After cleaning himself off, he opens the Gap bag and pulls out...just the sweater. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD DO IN THIS SITUATION. As you must have realized, the only solution is to wear the sweater as pants. So he squeezes his legs into the arms of the sweater and pulls the rest of the fabric tight around his waist. He can only keep himself covered by hunching over. Walking will be a new challenge altogether. Rather than going through the absolute trauma of returning to his seat and explaining (or creating an elaborate lie to explain) the entire incident, our hero waits in the bathroom until the train stops at the next station. He waits until the moment the train starts to pull away from the station, then dashes out of the bathroom (as quickly as a hunched over cowboy with sweater pants can dash) and jumps off the train. He is lost and stranded somewhere between New York City and Westchester. He hasn't seen the girl since

There once was pirate captain who, whenever it looked like a battle would be imminent would change into a red shirt. After observing this behavior for a few months, one of the crew members asked him what it meant. "It's in case I get shot. I don't want you crew members to see blood and freak out." "That's very sensible, sir." At that moment, the crew member spotted eight hostile ships on the horizon. The captain all of a sudden looked very concerned. "Get my brown pants."

Nobody's seen Jace and the Wheeled Warriors before? That cartoon was frikin awesome. Especially the car with the giant buzzsaw on top

If you conquer all three and populate them, then there will be people living in Saturn, people living in Pluto, and people living in Uranus. (I couldn't help myself)

Good lord four hours! I hope you're kidding. My BB test was only two and even then there were three phases (red to 1st dan) (2nd to 5th) and (Master and up). As far as advice for training, you have gotten this far, you know what works. Trust yourself

uh.. since belts dont mean anything why dont you try wearing one for as long as your in martial arts. Your belt means nothing....okay sure, but neither does where you live mean anything, or your hairstyle, or what you look like, or your name. Technically that is all true, but realistically we are visual society and give certain values to objects and possesions. I'm sure once you've spent all the time and effort into getting your Black Belt you wont think that it means nothing.

Backfist Round house (if both connect he should charge) jump back kick --------------------------------- Backfist Ridge Hand Defensive Side Kick I dont mind telling my secrets just dont use them against me.

Actually I've read that Bob Sapp is closer to 360 lbs. So Tyson as good as he is, will have to give up 140 lbs. to Sapp. Almost Impossible

If anyone is familiar with the X-Men I would like Juggernaut's powers. He cant fly or anything but he can lift an 18 wheeler and bullets just bounce off him. How cool would that be, I'd kick everyone's butt!

Not to be bias toward my own style, but I think you would enjoy Tae Kwon Do. At 5'11 120lbs. you are tall and slim, which in TKD translates to long reach, and quick on the toes. At such a light weight I think it would be advantageous to work on an art that increases your speed because you do not necessarily want to stand in front of someone and slug it out, or try to wrestle strength for strength. As you put on more weight and at least have TKD as a foundation I would then try Hapkido or Aikido.

I listen to rap, but Disturbed gets me in the zone before a tournament or sparring class. If any of you are into rap music there are a couple songs to check out Canibus - 2000 B.C Nas- One Mic Mobb Deep- Quiet Storm Lil John & Eastside Boys- any song

What a tragedy.....she looks so happy in that picture. I hate it when young people die especially those who are good people. I dont even know her but I feel like crying.

In Martial Arts Sparring I use both sides, but I have noticed that in a southpaw stance I catch a lot of people off guard with a heavier (right) jab, or right hook.

She was on pace to be the greatest singer of all time, maybe even a great actress. In MY opinion she is the Greatest R&B singer EVER.

If you could have any mutant, or superhero's powers which hero(villan) would it be, and why?

Sunny ol England is different, Stand up and walk toward people listening to rap in America and see what happens.

whilst ! lol what a funny word

Mine is my senior picture. Actually I would watch He-Man and always wish Skeletor would win sometimes

I get drunk all the time, my liver is probably pickled by now. I get drunk a go around the house singing like ODB from the Wu Tang Clan
