Sorry to hear the, Orion. It sucks being away from family like that, especially around the holidays.

We'll have family get-togethers, with big meals, opening presents, and all the standard good stuff. I don't have to work Christmas Eve or Day, nor New Year's Eve or Day. Maybe me and the wife will actually get to have a drink this year!

Thanks!

I don't do any trading. No extra money to trade!

Engaged?? Congrats!! My wife and I went to Jamaica for our wedding, and it was a great time. We would go back if we could afford it.

Sounds good so far.

I don't know, they seem to be pretty evenly matched. It should be a good fight.

When you start up your workouts, the initial soreness will hang around longer than when you finally get acclimated to working out. So, even though you are still sore, you may still go ahead and workout. Just don't over work yourself.

We have a channel that will rerun older fights, and it also runs a yearly reality series called The Ultimate Fighter.

Not sure. Has it happened, or is it going to happen?

Sound great. Rocky is the ultimate success story. I think I will have to see it. Rocky V is my favorite so far.

I have called this iron chairs, or something to that effect. Good exercise.

Hydrostatic weighing is the most accurate, but you would have to find some high dollar facilities to do that. Go to a dietician or your doctor, and they should be able to do a skinfold test on you to tell you.

There are all kinds of Bruce Lee myths and legends out there. Look at the source when you see them.

Thanks! Now, I just need a speed ball to make it work! One of those crazy balls would be good, too.

That sounds like fun!

Never heard of him. Sorry.

See, that is a difference that we have. We don't do the push-ups and sit ups for our testings. There's no set number of push-up's/sit up's we have to do, we just have to do them if we make any mistakes....then redo the kata/technique we messed up. Incidentally, I passed my Shodan test two weeks ago. I can't remember the last time I was that tired. Congratulations!

Nice form.

Our GM has gotten uniforms for us that have our names in Korean on the lapel. He writes them himself, and then has them put on. I think he provides the company with the writing.

Lol, I would have to start over in another style again!!

I think our system has around 20, but I only know up to my rank, which is 13.

That should be fun to watch. I imagine he is working on his stand-up game some right now.

On my duty belt I have a hand-held stunner that puts out 500,000 volts (doesn't shoot; it is a contact device), cuffs, and pepperspray. I could carry an ASP, but I don't have one. I have to certify on everything as well, which is, pretty much, dumb. We have to zap ourselves with the stun gun. However, they issue LEOs guns, but they don't have to shoot themselves with them. Kind of silly. As for the order of usage, when it comes to dealing with inmates, our order is supposed to go zapper, then mace, then physical. Kind of strange, but that is the order I was told. Oh, yeah, we also have a big, clear, riot shield up there, too.

bingo. Contact with the ground is incidental. If we are fighting and you fall, oh well. It's drastically different from striking a person. I definitely agree with you guys about the numbers though - italways makes things easier. Yeah, especially since we aren't allowed to strike at all, except for maybe a shin-kick to the nerve on the outside of the leg (common peroneal?).
