Ouch!!! Well, mabye after the first few kicks it oddly started to hurt less, heh. Probably just acting, or else a very very strange person :s

Skateboarding does rock a tad! Well, erm, I like listening to music a lot, talking to people in real life and on net, and generally just enjoying myself

hehe, welcome to the boards, hope you have a great time here

Aye, its true Chocolate is an aphrodisiac

I don't know of any martial arts merging, but there are definitely schools which incorporate two or more arts together

Yeah, sorry about that Patrick I wouldn't have mentioned a thing if it were not for how I got a green belt in TKD this time last week Apoligies with a bow

Thanks for the kind words SaiFightMS Yeah I would also like to hear what people do, so get posting!

Wow! How's this for fluke Last Saturday I did my green belt grading and passed, and this saturday I become a green belt on the forums! Nifty eh?

YES I am addicted! Like Moobrack I have ADSL hey, and I just got my Green Belt both on the forums and a week ago in Tae Kwon Do! nifty, huh?

ooh! Yes I remember seeing this site a while before I joined these forums. Great

Yes, welcome to the boards!

Hey, nothing wrong with Goths I'm more of a "Punk" - I like Punk rock and some rock/metal Not a goth though

Karateka I agree, but I think he more after a rough'n'ready approach to the Martial arts to get him out of fights quickly. For this Ahazmaksya, (I dont mean to seem bias or disrespectful) but to pick up the basics easily for a street fight, mabye Muay Thai should be the one for you?

kicker, eating a load of junk food, breathing polluted air and not getting enough exercise as a kid can all cause problems for later in life. I for one would LOVE to visit and/or live in Okinawa, the problem is with where I live and who I live with is that there isn't enough good natural food, not enough room to practice properly, too much time-stress; School, homework, seeing friends (I don't want to give up my social life for martial arts, although I do train with one of them on sundays) hmm, does anyone else feel that where they live or the people they live with can sometimes "try" (for lack of a better word) to stop you from reaching your full potential? What do you do about this? Personally, I try to ask mum to get whatever healthy things she can from the shops on saturdays, I train with a friend who does Ju Jitsu with more room (he lives next to a big field) and generally try to practice whenever I can (Although other things get in the way ) How about you?

Hey there Rancidbitch Sure you aint rancid or a ***** for real, look forward to your views here Welcome

kicker it's a great film, and out for rent and buying.. I suggest you check it out

I use both I'll tend to distract the opponent's focus with a lot of hand or foot movements, then strike with the other. If someone is awair of this strategy then distract with hands, do a feignt kick and then quickly jab em

Moobrack, our pass rates are pretty similar to yours For Yellow belt I got a 62% pass, for Green Strip I got a 59% pass, and for green belt I got a stonking 64% pass rate Sai - she's very old. She'll be around a couple more months but thats it. Ah well, shes had a good life

heh, erm, you need to master your qi?

Sai, thats really great you've managed to help you find something to fight your ailment! Its always good to see something like this; someone to really achieve something despite holdbacks, you should be proud [ This Message was edited by: Jack on 2001-11-06 08:51 ]

hehe, it really varies school to school Yep I'm quite pleased with how I'm advancing, that was the best grading I'd ever done We do hook kick not the others tho Take care everyone Jack

Thank you all for your concerns and worries, but she's perked up a bit today Deby, hardly advanced, in my school it goes: White belt (automatic) Yellow Green Blue Brown Black wich a stripe of the preceeding colour between each. At the moment its only 3 months per grading but that'll go up to 6 months when I reach blue belt Still another 2-3 years to go

erm, well... my dad's friend helped animate part of the fighter scene in the beginng of "lost in space" thats about it lol :/
