That does sound good. I love to read a little bit of military history, especially the movers and shakers, like Napolean. For a guy of his stature, he must have had some interesting tactics to become a leader.

I agree; quality, not quantity. I always try to make sure that I have something worthwhile to say when I post.

The Roman Colesium.

Absolutely. The Martial Arts should be all about defending oneself, first and foremost.

It was ok. I have seen better demos, but by more "professional" demo teams, though.

Were the bad rounds different for each station, or were they all the same? What all did you do?

I should do some digging, too. My dad was in the Navy, but he didn't do any Boxing. He didn't attend the Naval Academy, though, either. I think that the Naval Academy itself is, or was, pretty proud of their Boxing program.

What is it about, glockmeister?I am also reading bits and pieces of Best Karate volume 7 now.

Thanks, tallgeese. I really enjoy the work that I do now, too. I am learning a lot now, just from seeing everything from this side. I think that every LEO could gain very valuable experiences by spending a year as a corrections officer/jailer.

Do I win a prize if I do, Patrick???

This, I agree with. It definitely needs to be a worthwhile promotion.

I do admit that I have made a habit out of training with my hands up when not doing forms or basics. My dad always drilled that into me, too.

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.
