Magnificent , hmmm, I think I like it.

Good thinking Kickchick. Some people do have a problem with lateral thinking don't they?

At your level an hour a day may be more than many of your classmates are doing. So for the time being what you are doing time wise is probably very good. The basics are so important. It is hard to do the same thing over and over because we want to get to the really neat stuff. But the basics count for so much. The danger at this point is to do too much and burn out.

For those of you who practice the kata wan kan, do you do the opening sequences toward the corners in nekoashi dachi or kokutsu dachi? I have seen it both ways. Also the moving sequence to the front with the arms together. Do you do that in cat stance or zenkutsu dachi?

Well baseball fans. Are there any here? What do you think about your favorite teams chances in the upcoming season.

For all of you who have emailed me when my spelling is wrong Eye halve a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea It plainly marques four my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea. Eye strike a key and type a word And weight four it two say Weather eye am wrong oar write It shows me strait a weigh. As soon as a mist ache is maid It nose bee fore two long And eye can put the error rite Its rarely ever wrong. Eye have run this poem threw it I am shore your pleased two no Its letter perfect in it's weigh My chequer tolled me sew.

Have to agree with you there Jack. And if we spend no time thinking about what to do, how can we really make the best use of the time we have.

I am deepley impressed by the date this was originally written in. It could very well have been written yesterday. Really shows the basics remain constant.

:???:OKay Joe would you mind describing what you think a "BO Gun" looks like? I don't think I have ever seen one.

Hi welcome to the forum. Actually I think we are all improved from the very first day we enter the dojo.

Angus learning kata's. Now I am seriously impressed. And amazed. You know one day you might even have a light go on and for a brief instant appreciate one.

And don't you just love the way everyone who lives in the midwest thinks everyone who lives in California can surf?

Okay Spinning let's try this. The trick is the question. Your mother and father have a child but not your brother or sister. They are talking about you. The joke is Mr Helms fails the test. So he asks for help. Mr Powell passes the test. But when Mr Helms reports the answer to Mr Clinton, it is Mr Clinton who ultimately fails the test. A chain reaction of misapplying a mind game.

Actually I come from a long line of people who read in the throne room. When my mom redid her bathroom she added built in book and magazine racks to the wall next to the throne.

Try warming up the knees. Do the circular motions as Jack suggests. From a seated position raise the lower leg in a leg extension. Stand in place and raise the knees as high as possible alternating legs. Do slow easy lunges. Do them moving forwards and backwards. You say that when you do squats the noise lets up as you do more. That is the basic principle of warming up. The first squats should not go as deep as the last ones to allow for the knees to get war. To get used to the demand you are placing on them.

Sounds interesting. If you want me I will play.

Not being a very good typist here I only scored like 31 words a minute. Couldn't remember how many keystrokes that was. I make a lot of mistakes too. Once upon a time in college I could type much better. Now my fingers just don't go exactly where I tell them to go.

Hello Welcome to the forum.

Tea with the Queen ================== While visiting England, Bill Clinton is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if they're intelligent. "I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate." She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: "Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?" Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am." "Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Clinton?" "Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder if you'd mind answering a question for me?" "Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?" "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Clinton agrees and Helms leaves. Helms immediately calls a meeting of other senior Republican senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in exasperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem. "Now look here, son, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you idiot." Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!" And Clinton replies in disgust, "Wrong, senator. It's Tony Blair."

Actually Shadow likes to come on and drop her toys on my feet while she has me pinned down. My cat will fetch her little mice toys.

I often wonder is is safe to go out. I live in a not so good area. Around here it is not a good idea at all to go our after dark. I don;t know how many dope deals I have seen going down outside. When it is a really great day outside I will really want to go outside. But then at the same time the trouble makers are thinking the same thing. You have to be constantly aware of your surroundings here. I mean around here if someone is carrying a base ball bat it is not to play ball with.

Nutter who drowned her kids in the tub.

We go, Purple, blue, green. Don't you just love the variety of ranking structures?

Filming at 4:am in an area where people are living. Now who is battier the dumpers or the dumpee? _________________ KarateForums Sempai Shotokan Karate, bo, sai Karate means a better life [ This Message was edited by: SaiFightsMS on 2002-03-16 13:08 ]

I see you like the smileys. So do your knees make noises when you do other things or just when you kick? And do you warm up your kicks gradually? The first kicks slower and easier gradually increasing the intensity.
