Hey, I have many close friends in Swanton and Toledo. Some are actual students of mine. BTW, I was not trying to offend, just a little pun.

Yeah, for clarification, grappling doesnt also mean actual on ground fighting-does it? And for sure, a arsenal of many is better than a limitation of one. So far, not to sound biased or one sided, I have yet to see a grappler take a hit from a very strong striker. Hey, I would like to observe the other way around. Observation has me learn. How many old Karate masters were strong strikers?

Yeah, at one tome I could do "flips". Judging many tourneys, I did not grade on those. Generally when judging, I believe it has to be a form that anyone, with common practice could do. Not some fancy, gymnastic abilities that only a "few" could do. And, I don't want to go on a rant about these "specialized" weapons to add flash and flair. The same goes for those many "colorful" uniforms and gear.

This is gettig hammered too much

Yeah, like "belt or sleeve grabbing" fancy tactics with a uniform on.

Man. if word got out, i guess there would be some huge discussions

Is that "somewhat" what I said? Thanks for a little more detail.

Oooo! The Hemi's were nice and exotic, especially in their heyday, but many a 440 could put it all over the hemi's on the street! They just didn't get the same notoriety that the hemis did. Funny that a hemi-powered Mopar classic is more desirable than one with a 440 in it. Not necessarily. In the 70's, those hemis were hard to beat. They were mostly desirable to supercharge, though

Nah, I can get a 455 442 right now for $2,800-running and restored. Swivel diamond tucked bucket seats and a 4 speed. Ready to show and go. Well show, it may have a few flaws, but had won some shows.

Ah yes, my brother had own a 69 Chevell Supersport with a 396. To which he had "handed it down" to me. After six months, I "totaled it" The 1970 Charger, is a Charger 500 series. Matching numbers. Roght now, I had to set her up for a resto. She has a 383 HP, 4bbl. Pistol grip 4speed-Sure Grip rearend. Now don't frown, yes I wouldnt mind a 440, or even the bad Hemi. Last apprasal I got from a respected Mopar guy, well known through National Mopar owners, was that the 383HP was NOT standard in that year Chrager 500. it was special ordered. Now get this, I had traced to the orginal owner whom purchased it new in Kentucky. he said for insurance reasons, he had ordered the "smaller" block" Good, thing, cause I am told I have a even rarer animal. Nah, she is not for gunnin but some funnin. Me and a bud is mixing ideas to soup up a cuda. We trying to determine whom will finally own her. He does, but is looking to get rid of it. Another bud has a original Olds 442 Pacecar!!!!!

Like what?

Great. Does Shotokan mean "Hall of Shoto", which is the name given to specific writings?

Pm is on the way

Thanks

Well, I can, but if there are any such affiliation on the board, then I will be accused of offense and insult. Which, some here already have done with some things I write. So, for the sake of being PC and peace, does the affiliation matter?

So-called Christians? There are some so called Christians that bash anything. Halloween. Easter Martial Arts Reptilian subjects..... Oh, the list can go on.

I am not going to name their Church. I do not desire to have their indentity known for perhaps someone may "look" them up an bash them. This is out of my moral not to point directly at them.

Yes, they had picketed. Every so often, they come back. They make up flyers and stick them on the car windshields. The have a "devil" in a Karate uniform, walking around. Man, I could go on and on.

Cause we may be all "barking" up the wrong tree.

Yeah, I won't argue the "free will". But I have a hard time telling the "other camp" to leave me, and my Christian students, in peace. What, in you opinion, shall I do? (I have done and said many things, perhaps you may have something different)

Rick, where have you been?

But both camps make some sizable points.

Worth it to a schmuck

what is the tuition?

Man, lets stop it. Rick and I had it going for some time. if I start again, a mod may pm me. If he made us stop............
