Figure out what triggers you to wanna smoke, maby after you eat ? have idle time ? a few beers ? then (try) to find something to replace it. Eat something, practice your forms in your sparring gear, drink a big glass of water. I dunno I guess it depends on you and how long, much you smoke. I know it's really, really hard but don't give up, hang in there. Best of Luck !

Mine came from a skit from the early Saturday Night Live. Glida Radner, Bill Murray, James Belushi.

Where do I start ? Accept Scorpions Savatage D.R.I. jus to name a few.

Great thread, lotta difference here so far at 3rd brown I have Statue of crane, 1st of two man soft fist, and combinations 1 thru 18 and 26, twentysix kempo's or one steps, Pinyons 1-5, katas 1-4, and knife and club defences. Our school is also introducing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so we have ground defence as well. So far I have been with our school for allmost seven years, lotta cool folks that have become family, I love Kempo/Kenpo !

I like to get outside as much as I can, mountaineering, fishing, shooting my bow, talking on my radio, bmx'ing, anything outside !

I have to wear both, but I figure im either going to take them off or not be given time to put in contacts if it were a street situation.

Oh yeah, a multi vitamin, fish and flax oil, aminos, extra vitamin C and B complex, creatine, some capsuled chinese herbs, lots of whey isolate, and sometimes a pre-workout. They work for me so yeah the're worth it.

Plum Dragon Herbs has some really jow, I made a half gallon from ingredient kits they also sell. The Jeet Kune Do really works wonders, I've given it to some friends with severe arthritis and they cant get enough of it !

I've been practicing American Shaolin Kempo for prolly six years now and I really enjoy it, now we are known as Open Hand Kempo which is going to add Jiu jitsu sometime soon. I say go for it, you're going to like it alot !

Tiger claw, crab, eagle claw, leppards paw, bears paw, and cranes beak all have their place (and time) in our style. block, parry, divert and striking, no loss of motion, im pretty confidant they'll work fine in a street situtation.

Never wore a tux, but I can tell you about BDU pants,..make sure to cut some drain holes over the leg ties. when I was a kid I was running from a group of kids who beat me up and took my bike, I ran through a ditch full of water when my pant legs filled with water..I got myself beat down again.

Remember to cut some drain holes in the legs of your BDU's if you wear'em.

Agreed !

Squat at 270 x 10. Im 5'4 156 40yrs

Exactly, you better have good legs. great for us shorter guys !

Hmm,..tough one. Sinner by Judas Priest is cool,..Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden. just too many to list actually !

Shao-lin Kempo for a year now.

Decline ? isn't he getting something like 15 million a year to play here ?

Ofcourse,..many times..even lost a coupla teeth.

I'd ike to see Tiger Woods or Beckham tested.

I just bake in my GI and glad it's optional in our dojo, with the excetion we wear the bottoms and school issued t-shirt. Im not going to be wearing my GI on the street when I get confronted.

$150.00 a month for unlimited group and one 30min private lesson a week. $40.00 for belt tests and $50 for "clinics".

Maby not on a woman, but being a man I can tell you fer sure it does make a difference. I believe the chem is serotonin, which is why some men doze off after sex.

Lol! I feel your pain Ed, and especially when it come to dating. I get to feeling like Hank Hill sometimes.

Being 5'4" ,two knee surgeries, a compressed disk, and with people being more violent in a brawl yes,..I dont pull any punches and get it over with really quick, rather than go toe to toe with someone half my age and twice my height and weight.
