As for improving your mental ability I don't know. Maybe. I do know if you hit yourself in the head with them enough or hard enough it will adversely effect your mental ability

Forgive me. I suppose that my response should have been - Is it legal? I am not sure if MA has a drug restriction policy. If not or if the stuff is legal then my opinion does not matter.

My understanding if Creatine is that the body processes it into steriod type stuff. It is my understanding that McQuire used it to bulk up. Bodies don't get like that with protein shakes, energy drinks, etc. so the stuff is not like a protein drink...much more effective for what it is intended. Just my humble opinion -- since the body processess the stuff in to a steriod type thing it's pretty much the same thing in the end. My opinion is that Sammy Sosa and Mark McQuire...or Bonds for that matter do not hold the home run record. Roger Maris still does.

Everyone is more than welcomed to do and take whatever they wish. I do not compete and when I do I do not need to win. I am not sure what competitiors are using to increase everthing that they need to increase whatever ti is that they need to increase. I think that it is wrong. You may not. If not, so long as it is not illegal go for it and the best of luck to you.

Depends on the person. In competition, aside from the possibility that it potentially give one an unfair advantage there are health related risks associate with the stuff. I say no but then a lot has changed in MA since my day. It may "work" to accomplish the intended goal but at what price? At what level of honor? Honor, sometimes I wonder if there is still such a thing. Just my thoughts...since you asked.

you mean the original green ranger - tommy? he was a tad older then he looked. Back then, he was about 19 or 20. He played a high school student on the show though. However, he's still too young to be a 6th degree bb, which is what he is now..

6 degree at 20? Apparently MA is no longer requiring a lifetime of learning. Maybe that's the way it should be. I wonder who his instructor is?

I recently moved and saw a school next to a convenience store. I have nothing against it frankly. I saw what appeared to be shodan and nidan level students who were, if Istreach it a good ways, maybe 12 years old. I'm kinda thinking maybe 9 or 10 years old. Someone told me that the Green Ranger on the Power Rangers years ago (who9 was maybe 16) was a 4th degree black belt)

I'm just curious. I know that back in the day that such things were different. What are (if any) the restrictions on rank for minors in the various styles? Are they any things that need to be done once they reach the a certain age that progress them from a child rank to an adult level?

This may have been a topic before but I could not find it and I am so curious. Thank you so much for humoring an old man

I'm downloading it now. All this stuff about Ninja...some don't believe because of obvious factors yet they believe in 9th and 10th degree black belts (and plenty of them I might add). Perhaps this is all a progession. Years ago an 5th degree black belt in your area was abig deal. Recently a 10 degree is not that big of a deal. Now it's the Ninja thing with training from the great grand master of some sect that is not well know (or known at all). Tomorrow it will be MA ranks authiorized and issued by God him/her self. It's confusing to an old man

just guessing but I would think kickboxing because you use your lets differently by lifting them rather than just moving with them.

People sue for any reason now adays so I would imagine that they would still try.

Greeting and salutations!

Priceless

Welcome Welcome Welcome

They are the same and yet different. Different ways of doing things but they are all karate. IMHO

Thank you for your most interesting responses.

I think either one is fine.

Yes indeed, itr is a status symbol. I understand the pride in the time it too to get the belt to look that way (actual or accellerated). To each his own. I didn't know a dryer would do that??

For those who need it I think it would be great!

i shoot long bow but mostly target shooting really have no time or desire to kill ,if one day a bear comes in the range may be i take a chance.

Bears can run to 30 mph, they can climb and they can swim. Needsless to say they can outrun (be it speed or sustained), outswim and out climb a man. If you do take a chance please make sure your first arrow works. If not you may not have time to get another one off

I hear Wushu but don't quote me on it.

I would quit work

No one here hunts? That's weird.

Well just to get things going...Is it possible for an extremly skilled hunter to kill a deer with a knife by sneaking up on it? (I doubt it, but I've havnt gotten a solid answer on this yet).

I believe the indians hunted that way or used arrows to down bigger game. It does not appear to be too much of that hunting going on anymore. Too dangerous.

I am surprised she hasn't gone looking for someone else yet if it is this bad.

Some partners just want to control and be in control.

Gorge Alexander is a very good martial artist but he is not a crane expert....

I'm not sure that Matsumura was a crane master either.

Poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine

Hunting what?
