Yeah...I ain't going there either...

Yeah Patrick, you really don't say much about it do ya? That's ok - your team did good. Taezee - you're tooooo funny!!!

Because they're trained as PILOTS. They aren't police officers and have no training as such - you may as well give the gun to a passenger then.

Well ok, maybe the next game... . Then you'd just better watch out!!!

Bring it on Patrick!!! Goooooooooo Mariners!!!!! We gonna open up a big ole can of whup a$$ on you!!

:lol: I dunno...I'm kinda scared about this whole teenager thing, Deby. Got any tips?? As far as getting her outa bed before 12 o'clock? It's all good, as far as I'm concerned, in fact I'd probably sleep too!! I remember all too well sleeping until 11 - 12 o'clock! It was great! . I can't do it anymore though...now I'm even waking up before my alarm goes off on work days! Arrrggghhh!!! Lori

Why don't you show us what you got then baby, and maybe me 'n KickChick will sleep with YOUR pic under our pillows... Congrats to 'The Yankies' btw... I think I gotta stick to the west coast though...Mariners!!!!!!!! Woo Hoo!! Lori

Cool, I'll check it out, thanks. I assume you already know about webshots.com - ? If not, it's got everything under the sun.

Do you use weapons? If so then I would do a demo with weapons...the more dangerous they look, the better they'll like it!! Hey, I just thought of something....why don't you dress as a witch, then turn your broomstick into a weapon. [ This Message was edited by: Kickbutt on 2001-10-16 16:16 ]

Yep, you're right KickChick - my face is much thinner, my upper torso was next and then my hips and butt last. And that was only after considerable amounts of cardio classes. You do alot of running though Angus, so that should help - and lay off the beer hey!!!!! (no comments about my red wine consumption, now!) Lori

Hey Karateka - you should come - it's at B.C.I.T. this Saturday, if you have a chance - come meet Royler Gracie! Thanks for the tip! Lori

Hi everyone - well, I've decided to bite the bullet and enter my first competition this coming Saturday. I'm pretty excited and nervous of course. Royler Gracie will be there, as there's grappling competitions too and he and another fellow will be doing a demo at the end of the day, so I'm psyched!!! Anyways, one thing I think would be of great advantage to me is to be able to feint then attack, based on my opponent's reaction. Do any of you have any specific feinting strategies that you find work especially well for you? I'll be sparring with higher belts, so any advice regarding that would also be helpful. I've already got butterflies in my stomach...but I ain't gonna show it there - I'm gonna be one MEAN MOTHER!!! NO FEAR!!!! Lori

Well, I had a 1 1/2 hr. powernap yesterday and felt tons better. My class wasn't as bad as I had thought - we just practiced our kata and ipon kumite. I looked completely ripped (no, I don't mean muscular!) because the doctor had given me drops to dialate my eyes. I was stumbling around trying to make my way home after the appt. - was totally hilarious cause it hurt for me to look up cause it was to bright for my eyes, plus he froze them too, so I coulda poked myself and not felt a thing! Anyways, I'm normal now - it looks totally cool to see your eyes that much dialated . Thanks again guys... Lori

Wow, what a great picture Anthony! Do you feel better now? Nice to see you!! Lori

Thanks Deby, I was hoping you'd answer. The reason I'm soooo tired is a certain 5 yr. old who was up veeeeeeery early - if I don't get at least 8 hrs. sleep them I'm a zombie the day after. I've had my share of coffee today too - I have to have one vice - however in my sleepless state, I ended up knocking it over onto the floor shortly after I got to work...yeah you could hear me swearing a blue streak a mile away Lori _________________ If you think something small cannot make a difference - try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room. -Unknown- [ This Message was edited by: Kickbutt on 2001-10-15 12:48 ]

What do most of you do when you've got a hard workout ahead of you and you're running on almost no sleep? I'm sooooo tired right now I could drop and sleep here at my desk. I know I'm gonna get it tonight in class cause I'm testing this month and my Sensei is making me work extra hard. Any help would be greatly appreciated...PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Lori :pony:

Mmmm hmmm...just you watch it young man - I'm still young enough to kick yer butt!

Slim - thanks alot, that was a huge help to me. I'm also gonna talk to my Sensei to help me out with my strategy. Kicker - yes, she's been kickboxing longer than I have and she outweighed me by about 50lbs or so, so yeah I definately had my work cut out for me...

Thank-you all for your help...I tried all of the above, but she just kept comin' at me!!! Argh!! Drove me nuts! Next time I'll sweep her a$$! Hahahaha!!

What does gup and kyu mean? Does it refer to amount of belts you've tested for?

Welcome to you both!! Lori

that's almost identical to mine, Nat

The best way I know to learn balance for your roundhouses is to raise your leg and just extend your leg into a roundhouse...do not put it down and do sets of 10 and build up as you get better. Remember to keep the leg you're standing on strong and to use your abs.

Maybe you can ask thaiboxerken - he lives in Tempe, AZ - I have no idea how close that is to you or not, but he may have an idea as to where you can go.
