lol that gets annoying. my friend does that to me.

hmm how about starting a business? i know someone who owned a doll company.. they were so rich.. had their own pool(larger then a public one..), and movie theatre kinda room... and more. the downside to this is if your business doesn't do well you basically lose all your money(happened to him.) :cry:

anyone really think they're made by aliens?

there's really no "most devastating art," but hwarangdo is a complete art.... they develop ki exercises, healing, stealth, mental powers, 108 weapons, grappling, jointlocks, throws, all ranges of stand up fighting, forms, and more... But that doesn't really mean the art is most devastating. i like taekwondo, but that's the only korean art ive taken...

Unless you're someplace safe, just don't daydream when walking around, pay attention to stuff.. and yeah...

The one everyone else goes by. It'll make life easier...

Hiya, welcome to the boards!

Muay thai, BJJ, etc, are good for fighting because of the way they train... I wish traditional arts would update their training methods.

aliens of course. you didn't think we were the only ones in the whole universe did you? As for the asteroid things, I read it won't hit us, but just pass us by in 16 years. But then again, you never know what might happen in 16 years. I also remember watching a show about how in the future Mars can be turned into a place almost exactly like Earth(with air, oxygen, trees, etc, oceans).. i don't remmeber much about it though.

http://www.hwarangdo.com/Magazines/BBJan77-dynamic-tech.htm There's a site about it. almost sounds like ninja stuff since they have stealth techniques, chanting to cause illness, etc.

How often do you sparr at your dojang? twice a week? once a week? etc?

Yep I heard of it. It's like an art that the hwarang warriors of Korea used. If you want to take the art, unless you have expeirence you start by doing a more simple art called taesoodo, I think? And at the more advanced level they teach you ki healing(like acupressure, acupuncutre, etc) and stuff. It sounds okay, I'm thinking about taking it.. But I don't know if it's effective since I'm looking for a more self defense art...Anyone here take it?

A few golden retrievers/labs(?) are around 100 pounds... I doubt they'd really scare anyone... Way too cute.

what are you talking about? anyway, welcome to the forums!

Dafabe, you need to read all the posts before commenting on something. Tiger thought grappling was useless a long time ago.... He changed his mind now. Geez...read..

yeah.. i hate how people are banning pit bulls in some places now. pit bulls are loving dogs, it's just that you have to properly socialize and exercise them, and also give them lots of attention.

I'm sorry to hear that, but good thing it's only for a year, so you can start training as much as you want when you're 16 which is still pretty young. Plus you can still take it off for karate, so look at the bright side. :bdaybiggrin: :smile:

I'm sorry to hear that. But explain it to your Dad and I'm sure he'll understand. But do what makes you happy... coz it don't matter what others think.

"Then again, maybe they are just wearing a "Japanese cut" that's too short for their long western legs? "

hmm, well personaly i wouldn't pick karate if my other art is tkd, i would probably pick an art that's much more different, but that's just me...

Grappling is not useless, your example was pretty bad... Shows how ignorant you are huh? Even stand up fighting won't help you if some guy comes behind you and shoots you... Plus that's not called fighting, it's called murder... Another thing, you never said women were inferior in strength to men, you said women can't beat you, which again, shows how ignorant and unexperienced you are.

I bought that game to my bro as an early b-day present. What sucks is that the game won't work on our computer since it's so old... we need a new computer...

With a front kick and an axe kick I can kick over my head, but I'm not too sure about my other kicks, maybe I'll go see!

Hiya~!

ZakariRu, stop being rude and just please don't post unless you have something useful to say. Grappling is not useless, and saying that you have trained in grappling arts prove nothing... Another thing, I'm sure there are plenty of girls that can beat you and your ignorant sexist mind... But then I guess it's best that you don't fight them because it might hurt your fragile tough-guy-ego...~gasp~ Oh no...! [ This Message was edited by: Hiya on 2002-07-24 00:10 ]
