I love the taste of a good steak, so I don't forsee dropping meat from my diet anytime soon. I do get some veggies in, but meat is a big staple of my diet. Drinking lots of water is good, too.

Aikido In Competition
bushido_man96 replied to Kajukenbopr's topic in BJJ, Judo, Jujitsu, Aikido, and Grappling Martial Arts
To apply the techniques of Aikido against a non-compliant opponent, it is necessary to either provide some energy, or use the energy provided by the opponent (that is, if you are only applying Aikido principles). Now, if you are not averse to using some strikes to loosen things up a bit, then that can help things a bit. -
Obama Gets A Black Belt
bushido_man96 replied to sensei8's topic in TKD, TSD, Hapkido, and Korean Martial Arts
I have seen this kind of thing before. I don't really care either way. -
That's right. There are some strikes in Aikido, but most of them are done to facilitate the energy needed for a technique, by the attacker. They make sure the energy is right, and that the proper target is being struck, but other than that, they don't strike anything, and, at least in my class, we haven't lined up to practice these strikes with any kind of intent.

When I Take Off My Belt!

But, as with academics, once the primary goal is achieved, is this truly enough? That wasn't my concern. But since you ask, "never stop learning." -

I do agree that strength training can be a boon to any physical endeavor. -
KarateForums.com Awards 2009: Winners Revealed!

Congrats to all! -
I think that I've seen that you can use one step above the use of force ladder, but I'm not for certain right now. I'd have to look into it some, to for sure.

Having your hands up in a fence position is a good place to start. Stand with a foot slightly back, with your strong side back a bit, if you prefer. But, you've got a good start with your opening post. Try to difuse, and just get away. No shame in that.

What I do from time to time, Bob, is go to sherdog.com, and punch in the fighters' names in the fighter search. Find the guy, see what he kind of does and doesn't do, check his record, and how he tends to win. Then, I'll compare him to the guy he is fighting. This helps when I don't recognize names, and seems to help me at times. Just an idea.

Thanks, Bob. It was great to see back to back wins, and one at home for a change! I hope they keep rolling.

I hope everyone had a good holiday! I know that I did. Thanksgiving meal number 2 coming up on Saturday!

Martial Arts in Gwangju
bushido_man96 replied to marstree117's topic in TKD, TSD, Hapkido, and Korean Martial Arts
Being in Korea, there out to be a Taekwondo school around somewhere. You could also look to Kuk Sool Won, or Yudo. Good luck in your search, and welcome to KF. -
I think it would be a good time, but probably won't happen in my lifetime. If you get to go, enjoy!

When I Take Off My Belt!
bushido_man96 replied to sensei8's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Each individual year can be viewed as a short-term goal. That was the point I was trying to make. -

True Brilliance of Martial Arts
bushido_man96 replied to sensei8's topic in General Martial Arts Discussion
Now, to me, the answer to that question is that I start to figure out what it is an older person can do and use to keep himself or herself safe, as far as self-defense goes. -
When I Take Off My Belt!

But look at the school years. K through 12. Those are short-term in comparison to the whole.
