maybe you could go trick or treating wearing you gi

Yeah, now if I could just retain it all. thats why you need the books

chuck norris didnt train, he just looked at the syllabus and it changed to stuff he knew already

thats a good way to put it.

distance is a big thing when training with someone that smells, id rather be in a TKD class with someone smelly than say BJJ class.

so why am i good at MA but crap at music?

i think if a new student comes in to the class, they should be seperated from the main class for a few weeks, just to get the feel of doing MA. many new students feel uncomfortable in MA, as it is not a "mainstream" sport.

i used to have a computer game called bushido, back in the old 8086 days, the dude was a purple ninja, granted my monitor was only 4 colours.

the only MA novel i have read is Ninja Gaiden, and yes, its based on the computer game

no such thing as too much knowledge.

nah, its not Zenkotsu Dachi. its that really short stance, its tiger stance in tkd, cant remember its name in karate. we were doing it a while ago and were told about the significance of the circle while stepping. i know jiffy can shed some light on the issue.

man, those kia 's wouldnt disable anything, get pretty good miles to the gallon tho (haaha, yet another car joke by me )

i actually try to seperate the arts i have learned. but then again, most of the time im in one class or another and therefore am not allowed to use the other art, unless its free sparring.

Great Stuff!! congrats.

Gopher? go for this , go for that

ive never been a big fan of chest protectors, i havent worn one for quite some time tho.

yeh, that slow movement is a cow. i think its because i spent so long doing heian sandan i got used to it (i missed a few gradings) i always start out with nidan, and go to san dan after the nukite.

for me agression comes when i am underperforming. if im doing crap and know i can do better, i get really annoyed at myself, and take it out on whatever is closest.

in the 4 MA schools i have been to, they all had different opionions on when to kiai (while doing basics not in kata) 1 WTF tkd school was the first of the technique. so say you are doing low block, and change to high block, there is a kiai. 2. ITF tkd school, kiai on all attacking moves, not blocks 3. shotokan karate, generally we kiai on the last technique in a set, usually the fifth. ie, moving forwards, 5 times kiai, then move back 5 times and kiai. 4. WTF school. kiai on everything. even swapping stance. CRAZYNESS.

Its amazing how the death of steve has affected the entire world. here in australia it is pretty solemn, and all that a lot of people are talking about. he was a great character. my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Im greek, my mates call me zorba i like karate kid, so im zorbasan

its the live action one, set way back before the movies, with the main character being Kung Lao

Great stuff!

schools will often rent out their halls for MA instructors as well.

poomse competition sounds cool. hope they bring it to Australia
