that was odd.I don't understand tha brave part however.

Man,thats great to hear.Now tell me.How good does it feel to know you can help someone,and not only that to know that your helping her improve.

It's good to hear training routines working for people.Personally I do lots of stretching and a good ammount of squats,and lots of reps of various kicks.

Yeah,I'd like to get myself prepared for some type of training like that.Okinawan words that means torture!!!! that's funny.

I do stotokan karate and we are not part of any federation and now my sensei want to joint with the Canadien shotokan federation.So what that mean is that we have to change part of our katas and that my sensei will not be abble to give any more black belt. Being at about one year from a black belt, I gest it scare me a bit. Man,thats kind of rough.are ya gonna stay or what?

I'm not a big fan,but I kinda see where your coming from.

Yeah,It's a good movie.He uses a different type of Thai boxing though,It was great.

Man that spinning back kick,that bear did was hilarious.

This is what I'm aiming for in life.I just had my 2nd child(a little girl) 1-31-05,shes 8 days old today.I want tha boys to be scared of her.

I think maybe you fail to realize a little something,my I'll use tha word "religion"does tell me how to live,but it goes much deeper than religion or philosophy or martial arts,For me it boils down to being blood bought,and doing everything I do unto him.When I say MA training does not effect my "religion" It means that it dosen't effect my walk with christ. PSALMS 144:1 Blessed be the Lord my Rock,who trains my hands for war,and my fingers for battle.

Since you apparently like Karate I woulld say just keep working hard at Shotokan.I would have personally picked any type of Okinawan or Japanese karate regardless of what style it was.Things vary and switch,and different forms,but it's all still tha Karate we love.

Yeah,I'd say read up on both ask questions about both.Figure out which you think would fit you best,then get to working hard at it.

Do you have a style in mind that you would like to take?I would do all tha research on that style,then find tha dojo tha best fits your needs,then have your parents go and talk to that instructor.

I'm from OHIO,but I currently reside in Charlotte NC

man,all these are to funny.Unfortuneatley I don't have any stories,usually my instructors are pretty serious.

http://www.martialartssupermarket.com/ This is where I order most of my things from,They always have some pretty good deals,and some good equipment know matter what you want.

I was gonna say,it'd be nice to train for more than once a week.......but you can't replace quality instruction,and if your happy there have at it.I would say get a tape/DVD to help supplement your training.and most instructionals have workouts as well,so that'll help ya with your workouts as well,while your not in tha dojo.

I always read that his winter training was tough.Going up to Mt.Mitsumine for a week.Jumping in lakes,working out under waterfalls,all in tha freezing winter.That's some serious training.

Man that's pretty crazy.

It was my thumb!!!

Just wondering if anyone ever had tha privlage of doing winter training with Mas Oyama,or one of his students.I've read about it,but it's always better to talk to someone who has done it.

I've been learning Japanese,but i'm not fluent though,.I would like to be.

I'm 23 and I still like em',The new FOTNS is out now as well.

that's kind of strange.

Training in MA's hasn't effected my religion at all.Everyone I go to church with know I'm an avid martial Artist,and they all support me.
