Interesting. I would have never thought that Bruce Lee would be the subject of a Broadway musical. I am not much into musicals, but the story sounds interesting. I wonder who they will cast for the part of Lee?

Cool. More avenues for MMA will help with its popularity, to be sure.

Like I said, their goal was entertainment.

I see. I should look over that form again. Have you ever tried to defend an axe kick like that? Something to try, I think.

Cool idea! This is my 11,356th post! hehehe.... Still chasing Patrick, though...

That's cool. I work for the jail for our Sheriff's Dept. I love the job. I hope that someday I can be a deputy.

I hope that I can still nail a physical testing at the age of 61! That is cool.

I agree with tallgeese. Start some new traditions!

Boy, I can't think of how many I have promoted, but it hasn't been many. Not more than a handful, I know that. I don't teach my own students any more; I am an assistant instructor at my school.

I agree with you here. If we tell our students to never retaliate until they have been attacked, then I think we do them a disservice, and set them up for unneeded liability.

Man, this is really starting to take off, isn't it?

Ole what-his-name was impressed, so they must have pressed the right buttons. It was entertaining; not "traditional" by any means; very XMA. But if they were aiming for entertainment value, that it was.

Wow, that is something I never thought I would see.

Another way to defend it is if you see it go up, and are quick enough, just shoulder ram them with their leg at the apex. They will go down. Just a side note: even though the kick isn't in your style, the best way to learn how to defend an attack is to know the attack yourself. Wow, DWx, those were some good axe kicks. They do work well in that format.

That is why I NEVER loan out my library!!!

I see what you are saying here. This would be tough to do. Especially because I'll bet that we all take for granted the fact that our students can see. It would be fun for both teachers and students if we did a class where we had the students blindfold themselves.

I guess it is because in TKD, we have to the form for our rank. Basically, we have to compete with the form of our rank, and within the same rank (or one below or above). I guess it has to do with doing the form for you skill level and rank, as opposed to doing a lower ranked form.

But if you are on your own, then you don't have to follow those rules, right?

I wonder how challenging it is to teach in those circumstances? I'll bet it would be interesting.

That is kind of cool. Team building like this happens quite a bit in MA training, so taking it this far doesn't really suprise me.

My daughter has a NintendoDS.

I await the arrival of Brisinger as well. The movie was horrible. Right now, I am reading Atantis Found (Cussler).

Why does there have to be a 10th dan present? I don't think that it would be something that is required, especially if you are breaking away.
