Welcome to KF!

I just read this story and was about to post the link. He sprawled well and his opponent didn't protect himself well enough. I wonder what Lashley's background is. Was a high school or college wrestler?

In my experiences with Korean styles (Tang Soo Do and my current TKD-based style) I have worn the crossover with ties type of dobolk. I've never worn a pullover type. I don't think Kuk Sul Won generally uses the pullover type either, but when I trained in that style we wore just whatever was comfy.

I wondered about the weight issue also. I'm not sure how they handled that.

I remember the butterflies and the anticipation/excitement. At my school lower ranking students test first, usually, so at my first test I didn't have long to dwell on how nervous I was. As I progressed, I waited longer and longer before testing and had more time to thinking about the test and, thus, got just as nervous, if no more so, than at my very first test.

I watch when I can. I'm hoping to see a Blackhawks vs. Hurricanes final.

I chose "tucked in" because I usually do, but there are some kicks and some situations where I just don't get enough air and I don't really tuck the leg in much.

Welcome to KF, master's baby RR!

Here is the write up about the outcome of the fight. Reading the article, it sounds like there was not much action. Maynard's opponent stayed on his feet and avoided any grappling and it seems as though Maynard was not able to get his opponent down on the mat. Maynard had a good attitude after the fight, though, pretty humble guy.

Check out this article that ran in local newspaper about an amputee that is kicking off his MMA career in my hometown. Part of me says "what a great story," but another part has some serious questions, such as the following: How will he protect his head when someone strikes it? I would think that he has limited ability to strike, is this not an unfair advantage for his opponent? His lack of elbow, knee, and ankle joints seems to be an unfair advantage for him in that there are no opportunities for his opponent to manipulate these joints? Wouldn't his lack of lower legs make it difficult for his opponent to tie up one of his legs in order to avoid this guy getting side control? I looked on YouTube for videos of him doing any sort of MMA training/competition, but just found vids of him wrestling and lifting weights. What do ya'll think?

Ah, the smell of burnt hair.....

What some people do to get recognized by the Guiness Book of World Records. That record will probably last a while, though. I mean, who would want to break a record like that?

Welcome to KF, Shizentai! Took a look at your website, nice illustrations. I never could draw the human form with any sort of proper proportion.
