Well im mildly famous in my town, coz I was the 1st test tube baby in my county and one in the 1st 1000 in the country (UK)

Mine's from James being my name, TT due to being the first test tube baby in my county and UK coz i live there, obviously!

MAs are cool but who needs them if you have The Holy Hand Grenade :grin: :grin:

Holy Grail is so cool and the best bit is deff. the Holy Hand Grenade 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.' Ni!

I agree with -: A Gi should be White and preferably 1 or 2 blood marks for added effect

Hi everyone, just thought i would say hello to everyone and hope that i will be able to enhance my insight into MA and maybe even say summat of use to someone else. I am student of shotokan and would like any insight on other MAs to try to improve aspects of karate which Shotokan (may ) not cover as well as others. _________________ Five is right out [ This Message was edited by: Jamesttuk on 2002-07-28 15:56 ]

In Shotokan, the stances are the foundation of the training, its known that Shotokan is known as "Statue Karate", but as with other styles different aspects are concentrated in various orders, all moving towards other aspects, like speed, technique and inner strength, so at a basic level longer stances are set whereas higher up fluidity and speed are more highlighted
