Mines starting to fill up with bookmarks for xmas presents

Good luck

Noooooo how can they let Ecko go that way? I love him almost as much as Sawyer - he is such an interesting and scary character. How did it happen?

Wow - didnt realise that, going to have to go re-watch it. How is it possible I didnt notice that?

Has anyone seen a program called Martial Law? I dont know what the actor is called but he plays a character called Samo - OH MY GOD are his fights funny - proper Jackie Chan cartoon fights. Simply amazing!! Bruce Lee - Fighter Jet Li - Actor

Does anyone else find that their bookmarks are full of MA links? x

Hi guys - just a quickie. Have got my first physio session in the morning and my surgeon told me that I may be able to put off having reconstructive surgery on my cruciate ligament by strenghtening my hamstring? Does this sound plausable to you know it alls? x

Unfortunately as we only allow light contact sweep kicks are not permitted during sparring. We generally have to practise against the pads. I know what you mean though Kez it hurt me too. I guess its like anything - practise make perfect. Plus dont focus too much on getting this sweep in during your grading - you may miss vital points not doing something simple that you are good at?

Heres a tip for all women MA practioners (sorry is that sexist??). Do not get a pedicure done - last time I did I went bottom over head trying to do a mawashegeri against my sparring partner. Possibly amusing for anyone watching...not so for me on the floor!! Orion you will soon bounce back - am sure of it. And if anything knowing you your determination to succeed will push you through. Keep at it

Well done

2 island thing?? I read an article in cosmo this month - Jack was 1st sexiest male..... Sawyer 14th!!!!!!! Not possible. Anyway I really dont know what I will do regarding watching S3, I dont have sky at home so may have to rely on friends to download it for me. Gutted

Its not all that popular a show here in the UK - was pushed back to one of the secondary channels and shown later than last year. Its a shame as I felt it was more real this year without the showbiz side that came with Sly.

Silly thing - right pair arent we!!!!

You will be fine, no worries

Sohan thats disgusting - have just eaten lunch!!!!!

It was actually my choice in my situation to regrade. I was told to return at 4th kyu and just train with some of the lower grades until I had regained my level of skill. Probably part of my reason for retraining was to prove to my senior grades that I was not just returning for an easy ride (our clubs are part run by my mum). I know several people who have come back into the club, welcomed at their previous rank.

Good luck

You are in the almost exact same position I was in 12 months ago. I got to purple 4th kyu when I was 11, last year at 23 I decided to return. I graded back from white (no double grades) and went through everything my fellow students did. I found it extremely beneficial to me especially now I remember all kata and combinations where a lot of my fellow 5th kyu karateka are stumbling. My next grade is back to 4th kyu where I started, however due to injury this has to be postponed. I hope you find your way - these guys are always up for a bit of advice giving so feel free!!

Hey Brian, as you know I have had my fair share of injuries this year so believe me I know how frustrated you are x I am going to make you feel better now - I will quite possibly be out of action for up to 6 months, so it could be worse hun!!!!! Have a lazy one, only get back into it when you know for sure you are up to it. I brought the second injury on myself by getting back into training too soon, now look where I am. At the end of the day you have to look out for yourself short term to benefit the long term. Take care and REST!!!!
