Syphax

I haven't seen much Pride, but from the UFC I have seen, I like it.

I thought that Shotokan meant 'house of pine waves.' Hmm. That is odd. I just read that yesterday and I thought it was interesting so I posted. Turns out, my book a different interpretation. Bah!

Did you know that Shoto was Funakoshi's pen name? Shotokan means "Shoto's House".

Can't forget Korn either.

I mess around with VB.NET and I plan on working a bit in C# when I have more time.

Well, you are far ahead of me. I just toy around really.

That is a good point. I didn't even think of that. It adds greater control of your opponent, which is always good. Or you could just blow really hard.

Just added MapQuest. Heck, I am on my way!

I like that quote. And bushidoman, what do you mean everyone doesn't train kali???

Very true. Strength is always a factor, but if you are well-versed in the grappling arts you can use superior knowledge of body mechanics, etc. to cancel your opponent's advantage out.

Breathe in faith and breathe out fear. Relax and let your training take over. Good luck!

Just noticed that one too. Can you bookmark anything else??? I have 132 bookmarks. Eight are non-MA. I'm improving!

Does anyone else here enjoy programming? Mind you, I am no hard-core pro, but I do like to dabble around.

Excellent article! Quite fun to read. I concur. My knees.....hurt every day. I am always sore. Sometimes I am just moderately sore, sometimes I am throbbing all over, but I am always sore.

I can't get the site to load, but what is this mystical eye thing?

Just noticed that one too.

No, in general, they don't. We did though, and I loved it. Our training consisted mainly of calesthenics, drills and sparring. kata took a backseat. And that may be just what you need to best train yourself to become whatever you want to become. My, and I believe several others', point is that whether you use kata frequently in training or not, it is useful and is, for many styles, including mine, a critical aspect.

Thanks!

Looks good!

Welcome!

Excellent Bearich! I could not agree with you more!

I listen to whatever music corresponds with my mood. Sometimes, I enjoy training the forms to classical music and slowly executing each technique. And sometimes I crank up the techno and crank out the training.

Yeah, a link would be helpful.

Whatever he or she wants me to call them, they deserve it. Even if they don't want me to. Amen to that.

I have heard of it, but I have not personally seen it. Who created it?
