kick chick i read that book too ..and that particular passage made me realize that the only time we have limits is when where not forced to push on to something more..and life is like that...when were "forced " like a personal crisis..or personal circumstances which seem overwhelming..then is when that fighter spirit inside rises and says.."im not going out like that"..ive been like that a couple of times in my life.ready to say i give up..but then saying to myself..no way ..im gonna make it through this too..and what happens in life is that everytime you do make it through your stronger..and theres always something else to make it through..and in this we grow even much stronger..until you get to a point where you say..wow how did i make it through then??that was tough but now it seems like nothing..compared to what i face now...but life goes on..and you will always have things workout..as long as youre forced to do so.. _________________ Javier l Rosario bayshore new york instructor taekwondo/hapkido "whenever youre lazy enough not to train .someone, somewhere is training very hard to kick your ass" [ This Message was edited by: taezee on 2002-02-17 18:46 ]

i know plenty of people who are 1st or second dan who are far better instructors then people claiming to be 5th...6th ..7th degree...teaching is a quality in the individual..not just based on rank....this is something that you have or you dont..the fact that you are good at something or even accomplished..does not automatically make you an instructor..too many people out there who couldnt teach you how to cross a street properly much less give instruction on martial arts...

in cains voice from kung fu.."when you can ring the bells".."then you will be truly enlightened"..LMAO

a friend of mine told me he heard about a ENTER THE DRAGON part II..computer generated..has anyone heard about this??

just some recent pics of me....... http://community.webshots.com/album/31267817xMTuuMQFGM _________________ Javier l Rosario bayshore new york instructor taekwondo/hapkido "whenever youre lazy enough not to train .someone, somewhere is training very hard to kick your ass" [ This Message was edited by: taezee on 2002-02-14 10:41 ] [ This Message was edited by: taezee on 2002-02-14 16:18 ]

the type of head gear worn in full contact taekwon do offers very little protection or padding..its more intended to keep you from cracking your head open on the floor after being knocked out....and kick chick..its your "metatarsals" that you may have injured..

were all real impressed by that im sure..however..if i was to slap my students in the head hard to let them know there guard was down..how many would i have left at the end og the month

the woman from "the weakest link" (SMACK!!!!!..goodbye) judge judy....

heres a philosphy which many people may be unfamiliar with..i say what i feel and i do what i want to do regardless of what others might "approve" of..as long as at the end of the day i can look in the mirror and say "man youre okay" then nothing else phases me...some may call me "outspoken"..some may say "opinionated"..some may say "ass*#ole.. but i could never be accused of being part of the majority or being boring .. or being blended in..i stand out in any crowd as that fu*#%ng guy..but i like that because people always say javi speaks his mind..and hes stand up..and that means more to me then people just saying "javi..i know him" as if you didnt know allready.... _________________ Javier l Rosario bayshore new york instructor taekwondo/hapkido "whenever youre lazy enough not to train .someone, somewhere is training very hard to kick your ass" [ This Message was edited by: taezee on 2002-02-08 00:35 ]

:up:

one point that was overlooked by all is..do you realize how much money you spend on Doritos..aterwards???

wassa matter nobody liked your cool little picture?

alot of this misinterpritation is due to the movies.....always with the monks..seeking enlightment..or the good guy looking to a spirit or god to make him overcome the gang of triads selling dope in his neighborhood..(ever notice all of these corny movies always have that one line.."and only one man can stop them"..lol) the only enlightment one needs to have is someone come up ..smack you in the back of your head leave you laying there and take your money...now i am enlightened that i must learn to defend myself (i am also now "light" some money) it is true that we build character and we have discipline in the martial arts but let us not confuse that with making the romantic gestures that the martial arts will make you one with the universe..that it will fufill your karma and all that other bullsh*#t thats out there... bottom line is if youre studying martial arts your learning to fight to defend yourself period... all those other reasons are secondary or not even realistic...i believe in god..but i also believe in kicking the lungs out of someone who would try to hurt me or my loved ones...and although i am humble (sometimes) and have a sense of sprituality..ill have to admit..kicking someone in the head gives me a thrill everytime ..i dont act like or claim to be a monk ..or a wise man....but just a warrior...who has a good heart and knows whats right and wrong and thats good enough for me.. to be able to look myself in the mirror...whenever i hear someone give me that line.."i just study for the spritual side"..or run around quoting excerpts from the bible..the art of war....the tao of jeet kune do..whatever book they choose to represent thier religion or "way"....and trying to impress every one around them..and claiming.."i only study martial arts for spritual growth.. i say the Nile (as in denial) is a river in Egypt....the origin of martial arts stems from around the time..when we were apes and learned to pick up a stick and club another ape in the head to get what we wanted....and not from some mysterious pursuit of religion or enlightenment...started by whatever crazy monk or priest who chose to sit and stare at a wall for ten or so years... the only thing i can see being accomplished by that is the guy sitting thier saying over and over "man this is boring ..i gotta get a life...man this is boring ..i gotta get a life"..lol... _________________ Javier l Rosario bayshore new york instructor taekwondo/hapkido "whenever youre lazy enough not to train .someone, somewhere is training very hard to kick your ass" [ This Message was edited by: taezee on 2002-02-05 20:49 ] [ This Message was edited by: taezee on 2002-02-05 20:55 ] [ This Message was edited by: taezee on 2002-02-05 21:01 ] [ This Message was edited by: taezee on 2002-02-05 21:03 ]
