Welcome!

You'll have to tell us sometime what dojos are in your area!

There certainly are lots of TKDers here!

It is good to have another kyokushin practitioner on the board!

Go to instructor central for advice, there are very helpful people there!

I hope you find good people to converse with!

Wing Chun seems a popular one lately!

Hi Dean, hope you like it here!

Alabama?

Welcome!

What kind of karate do you do?

We're excited to have you!

We do this stretch where we put our back against the wall and we have a partner lift up one of our legs up as far as possible. The end goal is to be able to put our toes against the wall with our leg being straight up. Our sensei looks at me the other day and says "I want your toes to be touching the wall by August!" Ha! My leg rests on a short person's shoulder right now, but what he says I must do, so now I get my mom to help me stretch at home now. Machines do not do anything you can't to by yourself or with a partner.

Any kid that good that young is either a prodigy or pushed into it by the parents. I vote for the latter.

Well if you trained with the people who really knew how to do a stlye very well and you did it very often I think anyone would get burned out. His is a very atypical case.

I enjoy the dark humour. Good stuff.

I sypathize with Dimwit, it would be awkward kicking with shoes on. I think I'd deal with it and move on though, rather than taking off my shoes.

Never heard of the event or the style, sorry!

Thaegen: But Muay Thai is a good kick-boxing style, correct? And provides a good challenge for most forms of karate? I disagree with the "owning" part as well, but I need a little more elaboration.

Thank you for your good reply SR. That helped me out quite a bit and I didn't even ask the question!

Karate KID, how old are you? I really can't imagine you being a kid.

I'll have to catch that movie now.

Why would you stockpile whiskey? Did you think there would be a shortage?

Thank you for your reply Shorin Ryuu.

Century. I swear they sponsored the movie Million Dollar Baby, all of their gear was century.
