Is it hard at all, by the time you read this you would have probably been to the doc already, but maybe it could be a welt that hasnt fully healed. I was skateboarding 2 years ago and i still can feel a little bit of the welt on my forehead when the skateboard edge hit me in the head,.

I like Nakamura no Kama a lot, but that may be just because I just learned it. You can't use the kama until you are a san kyu at our school, but guess what, I just got my san kyu!

Those are all good movies, I like Chushingura - The Story of the 47 Ronin the best. I have it on DVD. I haven't seen Yojimbo yet though, supposedly it's good.

That's cool Kyle-San! I was going to see it but many of my friends from Karate class said it wasnt that great, but I may see it eventually.

I feel the same way, my muscles are rather strong and flexible, but they are covered with some chubiness, not much, but i'm in the same hole inasmuch that my skeletal muscles dont really appear unless I flex them.

lol

I am a gamin' f00 when it all comes down to it! I love the PS2, great games from First Party Dev's like GT3 and the new EQ games coming out for PS2 on-line, and as well, great games from Second Party Dev's like SquareSoft, the Final Fantasy Series and the new Kingdom Hearts. And can't forget about the Third Party Dev's with games like Virtua Fighter and Dance Dance Revolution. Gamecube is something that I know very little of, but I do know that it has a big bang when it comes to First Party representation, like the new Super Smash Bros, Super Mario Sunshine, the new Metroid, and Dinosaur Isle, the new StarFox game. I own an Xbox and I really do like it. I can't wait until they start making the awesome fall/winter games like Panzer Dragoon Orta, Shenmue 2, Soul Caliber, Steel Batallion, DOA Beach Volleyball and I cant wait for the games to come, Fable (Project Ego), Ninja Gaiden, Halo 2, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Obviously now my favorite game is Halo, me and my friends play 6-8 player CTF using the System Link Cable. I love DOA 3 a lot too. Oh yeah, can't forget about the PC. The thing I spend most of my time on! The best game by far on the PC is none other than Counter-Strike. I play this game at least 1-2 hours a day. I am in a clan as well!! I love this game!!! Also I like to play Blizzard's new installment called Warcraft 3. Not that good at it but thats beside the point!

I agree with all of your input, especially Leafs idea of music. Think of a hot chick at school and think of how impressed she will be if she sees a flying sidekick to the head at a bully from school.....jk Actually, for me, i enjoy it, just thinking of being stronger, faster, bigger than the other person makes me feel good about myself. I have been ill with Strep Throat for the past 2 days, but i cant not train, so i just took it easy and did 100 situps, and that was it. Hey, it boosts the immune system! But yeah, i mean, just listen to some music while you pump up your body. It really does help.

I was reading along and i never saw anyone mention the Shureido Gi's they are very high quality gi's made in Okinawa in a small shop about the size on an average basement. You can search in google for them, they are better than the Tokaido gi, i think.

w00t w00t Congrats MonkeyGirl, I also passed my test for my Brown Belt!!! WE RULE!!!!!!!!

Our black belts are just regular plain black belts, sensei says that the ones with markings on them are just for show, i partially agree, if you have a massive number of bb's in you school, then the dan stripes are a good way to go!

Good Luck Monkey Girl, I have my Brown Belt test today so we both have to pass!!!! Well, GL

The century books and videos are a rather good source of information on sanchin katas and katas of that sort.

Asian World Martial Arts is a good place to buy stuff from. And yes they do have a web address, you might have to search google for their site but i know one exists. I know there are mant places in Okinawa and Japan that sell top quality martial art supplies, just use the internet to find a suitable pair.

Maybe your new instructor misunderstood you when you asked for help to the other high rank. He may have thought that you meant that you wanted to spar with him. That could have been the case, im not sure. Anyway, you should have a little talk with your new instructor on this issue.

I go along with what Hiya says.

Steal some money and become a little kid and float to America from Cuba and get into some big scandal that for some reason everyone cares about....

I have some but the one I like the most would probably have to be Once upon a Time in China with Jet Li.

I think they are an excellent gi. I currently have a Ironman from century and it rules but the gi you are talking about is better than mine.

Thanks for the info everyone you have been very helpful!

I want to know all of your exercise routines becuse i want to start a new one, the Navy Seal workout was just getting me stronger but now i need flexibility and speed, any takers?
