Yeah, I think you are right. No disc involved. You could probably transfer it later, but I don't know what the process would be.

Yeah, she is quite the multi-tasker. I don't think I could stay that focused.

I wanted to see what everyone's favorite place to post on KarateForums was. Is there a forum that you spend the most of your time in? Is there one you like more than others? Do you like the one that is related to your style the most? I think my favorite is the Health, Training and Fitness forum, because I have learned lots of valuable information there.

Although I am intriqued by the idea of recording programs onto DVDs, I am still not sure I have a use for it, yet. We don't have DirecTV, so I guess it doesn't really apply to me as much. However, there are units that we can purchase to record on DVDs. However, we don't record much of anything anymore.

Although I don't know a whole lot about music, I did learn something there, amidst all the humor.

Was that pop the sound of his leg hitting his head, or the sound of his hamstring snapping?

Welcome to KF!

Without question I agree. I watched the Boise State game, and though I'm not sure they would have beaten Florida or Ohio State, it was truly a thriller to watch. With respect, Sohan I think so, too, Sohan. And although we can't be certain that Boise State could beat Ohio State or Florida, the only way to know is to let them play.

Thank, everyone.

You can bounce and incorporate other aspects of footwork at the same time. This will help to keep you from falling into a pattern. You can also use Bruce Lee's concept of broken rhythm to offset the chance that you will get "timed" while bouncing.

I have seen bits and pieces of this movie. It was an interesting idea.

I know that the AAU offers insurance, so you may look into them. I don't know what the rates are, though.

Thanks for the definition, baron.

Hello, welcome to KF! I think that it is very interesting that you have decided to carry on your training in the way you have. It is great that you have a partner to work with, as you can bounce ideas off one another, and get immediate feedback. Keep plugging away, and maybe you will find another school that interests you eventually. Remember, keep an open mind, and check out other styles as well. They may have quite a bit to offer you.

What I like the most about solo forms workouts is that you can do so much with it. You can do one form at a time, with full speed and power. Or, you can do three at a time, with a little less mustard on them, and get cardio going. Or, you can do a form very slowly, with muscle tension, really gritting your teeth with each movement. There are so many options, and you can listen to your body, and practice accordingly.

I think that the idea of doing that study is a good one, AikiGuy. I think that it would provide us with some interesting results.

I think it is cool that you are checking out gyms, and reporting them here as to what you think. Keep it going, and let us know what else you turn up!

Although it is not the UFC, and it may have trouble competing with boxing, I think that it can still carve out it's own little nitch in the world of MA competition. When Mr. Norris set it up, he designed the rules to make the action fast-paced and really upbeat. Since it is designed to get rid of stalling, this is the advantage that it has over MMA, and even boxing, to an extent. What is nice about it is that just about any stand up style can be represented on it. Karate, traditional TKDists, Olympic TKDists, kempo fighters; just about anyone can get into it, if they are willing to put in the time and training. One of my instructor's good friends was a professional kickboxer, and he got into the WCL competition in Atlanta, and did well. The city vs. city set-up is kind of nice, too.

That was great! Thanks for the laugh, Sohan!

I don't know about everyone else, but I think that Division IA needs a playoff tournament to prove who the champ is. Congrats to Florida, but the last time I checked, the only undefeated team left is Boise State. What about them?

Although the facilities may leave a little to be desired, you may want to give it a try. If the instructor is friendly, that may transfer to his training as well.

I have been wondering...what is an ectomorph?

Happy birthday, Heidi! I am 29 today as well! Although I can hardly enjoy it...I am one sick puppy.

I see the generalizations that you are making, AikiGuy. However, I just don't feel that it is safe to make those generalizations. If you just take two people, and make these generalizations based on size, there is no real way to know you are right until you see them perform. Take a guy that is 5'5", and weighs 130 pounds. Now, put him next to a guy who is 6'4", and weighs 230 pounds. Based on your generalizations, the small guy is faster. Now, let's tweak the scenario. The small guy is doesn't do any physical activity at all. His days are filled with reading and watching the TV. He does not train in anything. Now the big guy, he is a high school athlete. Let's say basketball and football are his sports of choice. Are you willing to assume that the big guy is still going to be slower than the little guy? Will the little guy be able to out-maneuver the big guy? This is the point that I am making. You won't really know until you see what they can do.

Hey, you know me. Always willing to help!
