I would agree with bushido_man96. With your dance skills may work well with TKD especially if you found a good instructor. Good Luck

Welcome Bat!

Mmmm, I think that the time is right for women in the NHL. You can play for the Blackhawks! They could use a goon...maybe you can bruise a few of them too. That might get a fire started under them.

I second that

Thank you so much. I'm working this Monday but...at least I'm still working. I hope the weather is nove your your holiday and that you holiday is a good one

You're right about your bible verse. I think that there is confusion about what "serve" means. I believe that money can be considered a "master" too. The more I think about it the less I worry about it. I think that God understands the whole thing a lot better than I do and I believe that he is more worried about other things that I may do moreso than my karate

I thought that Chibana passed his belt down to someone....I thought that his name was on it too

Excellent! Congrats to the both of you

no instructor makes effective learning much more difficult. Good luck

With the weight, once moving in the right direction it is difficult to stop with sheer power and strength alone I would think

Good luck...I'm pretty sure that everything will work out just fine

He almost as good on that thing as Santana is on a guitar

Enjoy the summer...someday you won't have summers to look forward to the way that you do now ... so enjoy it to the fullest. My last day of high school was June of 1972 and I can still remember my junior and senior summer with fond memories....

Good for you...the combination part...sorry to hear about your injured missus. I hope that she will be doing better soon...Will you be holding the bag anytime soon so that you wife can attempt the kick?

I suppose that many styles can be considered sport or combative depending on how it is used and taught. Each school in each style may be and many times are differrently taught. I do not know to what level your school teaches so I do not know what to say to you. People should probably consider that all Shotokan schools are not cookie cutters of eachother. If they find one school that is Sport based totally they need not feel that all are. One question I have is how to you use it in a combat situation?

Brandon Fisher the best of luck in opening your school.

Sorry, I asked my wife for an advance on my allowence and she looked at me as if I were crazy so I guess I'm not getting the advance so...I can't bet...besides I wouldn't bet that the sun would come up amd meet a new day tomorrow.

I like the soap, hot water and dryer idea. Two sizes too big...it may not shrink that much. I always liked a more roomier Gi thought so I'd be good with it

I only bet on sure things but if I were to bet I'd take the Oilers

Good luck in college. Study hard! It will be worth it in the end.

I think that if you can throw them go for it. The higher the kick the higher the risk of encountering a problem. Like everything else you have to assess the risk and make a decision. Even with low kicks you can encounter a problem of some sort.

I agree with the many that said your wife being there may have been part of the concern.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

I like the color in the first one. I am sure that there is some message or deeper meaning to the second but I never can pick up on the deeper meanings behind pictures. They are both quite good though

Patrick and all, 300,00 posts and 5 years too. Such an accomplishment. Best wishes for the future. I'm looking forward to the 1,000,000 mark!
