Kickbutt

Well, since you brought it up

Wow!! Forget watching Jackie Chan/Jet Li movies - I'll just listen to you guys ! I've never had to experience that first-hand and hope to god I never do...That's one of the reasons I like to go to spar on Saturdays - so that if I ever end up in a situation like that, I at least won't be afraid to be hit and would perhaps be able to think a bit more clearly and not just overcome by fear. Cool stories you guys!! Lori

Hey goose, I'm 31 and you couldn't pay me to be 22 again - life starts at 30!! Woo hoo!!! Lori

Hehe...too late Lori

I'm gonna kick yours you cheeky little bugger!!!

Yep, I agree!!! I started at age 29 and have been doing it for 2 years or so and am in the best shape of my life!! Woo hoo!!! Uh, 14 is young by the way!! You could train to be a world champion if you wanted to, you are that young!! Lori

Really???? I don't get the joke??? Seriously......we'd kick your butts all over the field!!!!!!!!! I'm not killing you - just your team!!!! :razz:

I'm right here!! Hey, where do you train Diablo? I train at Champions in North Vancouver. Lori

Hi Odin and welcome - are you Scandanavian btw? Just asking because of the name - I lived in Norway for 4 years... Anyways, great article, very interesting! Lori

YEAH!! What he said!!!!!

There he is!!!! Such a nice young man!! I just wish I could hear the Aussie accent too - it's so charming! Lori

I think it's pretty safe to say Angus is being sarcastic... Anyways, like Ken said, use the wooden ones to start - if you really want to learn how to use the weapons, it won't matter how you learn, right? When you've started to get good with them, then ask your parents again and show them that you are proficient enough to warrant buying the real thing. Lori

Lori

U following me???? Hahahaha!! I seeeee youuuuuuu here!!

OK, gotcha Ken. Thanks, I'll tell him next time. Lori

Well said Ken

I enjoy many types of music: Rock, Blues, Jazz - anything I can dance or sing to really!! Lori

I just hope that we win our bid for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Whistler, BC Canada - it would be great for the economy!!

Well Angus, I DEFINATELY have never heard that one before...(a crumpet???) and hopefully never will again .

LOL, I don't think I wanna go so far as to kick him between the legs, but thanks anyway . I think next time I'll just talk with him first, cause he is a very nice guy. I was kinda hoping to be able to dodge around him a bit though, cause in a real fight I can't actually say "Um excuse me but you're just a tad bit close for me, so would you mind backing up a bit so I can kick your butt?" Thanks for all the help! Lori

Nice pic!! Lori

OK, what's the hell's a crumpet then?? I thought it was a cutsie name...Well, OK then - don't call me a crumpet Oh well, my blondeness finally reveals itself... Lori

Hey Tim, sorry to hear you won't be around for awhile but all the best to you with your training!! Come back soon! Lori

Hi Goose (Darryl), nice to have you here - why don't you tell us a bit about yourself. Lori

Welcome and I look forward to your insight - congrats on your new black belt!
