Gatana, Gatana, Gatana!!!!! I am invincible w/ my Gatana!!!!

To tell you the truth i really cannot tell you the reason that my sensei doesn't teach people that have commited a felony, he just doesn't like people who have commited serious crimes and doesn't want to take the chance of them actually learning karate just to be able to beat the snot out of other people, i guess. That's the only reason i could think of for my sensei to not teach people with felonies on their record! I guess if I were a sensei I would teach people that have commited a felony if their felony wasn't something like rape or murder. _________________ Break the bones and the body will heal, break the spirit and the body will die.

I read whole mags when im on the pot!

Anonymous is right. They say that a board is as strong as a rib, but when a person is moving it is a little harder to hit those ribs. What i am getting at is that breaking boards in one spot is like jabbing someone while their down and trying to show off strength. Not really a great martial art attitude.

Kickboxing would be better than TKD in the Olympics, (IMHO).

If i were your parent, i would be extremely proud of you. That was the most correct thing to do (IMHO). You were at the point where you went easy on him, but he will never pick a fight wih you again. That is where you want to be.

I like that Indian saying YODA! "It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving."- Mother Teresa

Thanks YODA!

hold on a sec, that was srewed up, these stupid school comps really suck, i am a purple belt and enjoy being a purple belt....sory for the mishap!

That is a very nicely put representation of the belt, i should tell my sensei about that! He would enjoy telling everyone in the dojo. Thanks

Very wise my friends, keep them coming. A conservative is one who does not think that anything should be done for the first time. A girl who is free for the evening could be very expensive. Be friendly and you will never want for friends. again, keep on feeding them in!

How'd you guess Doug, you must be psychic!

I have no pictures, the cameras that people take pictures of me with melt at the site of my hideous grotesque face! _________________ Break the bones and the body will heal, break the spirit and the body will die. [ This Message was edited by: Phantasmatic on 2002-03-20 20:36 ]

Anyone have any wise sayings to share with the rest of us? Heres a couple: "I learned that a great leader is a man who has the ability to get other people to do what they don't want to do and like it." Harry Truman "The person who knows 'how' will always have a job. The person who knows 'why' will always be his boss." Diane Ravitch. "An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep." - Arab Proverb

Breaking is IMHO a way of taking off stress. Havent you ever seen karate kid 2? "Can you break a log like that?" said Ralph Macio. "Don't know, never been attacked by a tree!" said Mr. Morita

I am fifteen,I have a muscular/Judo-style body and am 190 lbs.

That is a good post YODA and i agree with you fully. There are not many dojos left that think about the individual in my area. Its kinda sad..

Your attitude really matters when you talk about spiritual growth and internal bettering. Think less about your reputation and more about chivalrous activities.

Thanks for the info!

good luck all you Snow Cats! (i'm american, i have to be crude!)

I just found out that my uncle has been on cocain since the past year and my family has really been broken down by it. My father is a rather wealthy person so my uncle is staying with us and going to rehab for a while until he gets back on his feet.....it kinda sad because he wants to join my karate school but he cannot because my sensei will not teach a person that has been convicted of a felony..why do people have to get in to that sh*t , JUST SAY NO!

do you need speakers??? I am at school right now in comp. concepts and we dont have speakers on these things!!

didn't Shuri used to be the old capital of Okinawa. I'm pretty sure it was...

Belts i really dont care at all about. I am a yellow belt in Shuri Ryu karate and enjoy being a purple belt and dont really give a gee whiz if i dont pass or not, i just love being in karate and practicing the wonderful art!
