Athena

ummmmmmm *thinks* wow I'm am among the top fighters in my swchool, have been for a while and only been getting better >.> I have quick reflexes and am aware most of the time. Still, I get duped alot when not in a fight and am easily beaten by a couple of my guy friends...somehow I manage to make friends with strong guys who are good at fighting ...and using their fingernails to basicly gouge little pits into your skin >.< I'm fair with running and jogging if it's for short distances...pretty good when I'm all fresh and rested up. I once got like three laps ahead of everyone in a walk jog thing just with jogging XD call me a sprinter because right after that my legs lost thier energy and eventually they were filled with warm pain...so i kept jogging, taking minimum rests before going back to jogging. I am a beast at tae bo >.> I can do nonstop tae bo now for an hour if rested. ha, I can do more tae bo then jogging...it's pretty bad. And then there are the sports like tennis..i can't keep the ball in the painted lines >.<' Conclusion, I'm fair and could probably hold my own against an ordinary non expeirenced martial artist weaponless gangster if I had to -_-;; though if he had a knife or some sort of weapon...(besides gun) I'd think I'd have to improvise a bit...heck I could make a little twig a weapon if i had to XD ugh...yea. that's just me..

oh yea...oops XD

hate bullies..regualr school bullies are bad enough...don't need one with a blackbelt and a cocky attitude. try not to fight but see what you can do...or you could always let the sensei deal with it. And if for what ever reason, if the student challengers the teacher tell me about it >.> though i doubt it'll happen I wanna watch shotokan's vid! >.< actually, I personally, though against everything I know about martial arts(very bad) I might ask for a spar match with him from the sensei and tell him it is a spar to retain honor. *cough* I know..very bad 8slaps hand* I'm still learning from a teacher who is teaching me a philosophy that I can not understand right now...and other simple lessons..about the mental side of martial arts while I am left alone to develope my own style. before you ask "what kind of teacher does that?" know that I talk to him online..and ONLY online XD he lives in a different state. therefore I can only learn the mental side.

wow...when i'm in a fight I don't usually think like that...( first post)my mind would be too focused on the fight (spar/match thing)..I'm not too keen on the "don't hit girls rule" it actually comes from an old mid set that girls are weaker then men and have to be handled gently. One reason why I absolutely love to spar with men. I scare them. I am not weak. Also, if they have the mind set to go easy on me..I don't return the favor >.> go ahead, kick my in the stomachHARD ...it doesn't usually have much a(e?)ffect on me (random but still) but...you could varie your attacks next time...and remember that woman have TWO privie places so we are extra weary about it and tend to complain more *nods* um..shutting up

do not know what a dobok is..but i would just love my very own gi I make sure to bring clothes that i can move good in to gym most of my clothes are good for movement *shrugs* even my tightest pair of jeans isn't so stiff that i can't do a kick in them XD though i do have some pants that are quite loose i don't oftne wear skirts or dresses but there are occasions. I've trained a couple times in them

I always thought kenpo was somesort of sword style and kempo was the art of well...basicly brawling XD figures

XD I like obi's philosophy

I like the staff, I train myself in it alot...but there's a reason why i like it XD a staff can be found in alot of places..brooms,rakes,shovels, sticks(branches) fallen off of trees, bats,hockey sticks,golf clubs...et cetera (ect) you just have to learn to to adjust quickly to different weight balances. also knives and short swords (I actually carved a wooden sword abot the size of a *estimates* wakizashi?) are quite usefull *nods* this one time there was a tree branch about as high as my shoulder that was fresh fallen (i mean the leaves were still green and not wilted ^.^) and I swung that around until all the leaves fell off XD it helped me alot i think. yes i know..i have weird ways of training myself -_-

hey ^.^ welcome and enjoy the forums ^.^

I am the only one that will have swordfights using plastic baseball bats or little fake martial arts fights with guys in my gym class..... I raise spiders, let them crawl on me, feed them...get rid of them for people.. (ima girl btw XD) I get down on all fours with my heel to a wall or a tree and climb onto my hands while leaning against it I try to RUN up a tree >.< I belly dance I eat the soft inside part of grass I know what raw bamboo tastes like and that a young stalk of it hurts when you're whipped with it.. I concider night scenes of which I am killed 'dreams" without actually WANTING to die...I am not suicidal >.< I wish for a real katana I WANT to get lost in a huge forest with a knife... I wish to meet a real wolf I wish to touch the feathers of a wild bird (dunno why) I wanna fly!!! >.< I know what it feels like to fly with out actually having ever flown before. I can FEEL my dreams (got stabbed in the stomache in one once..) When reading a book, I am like in another world..watching it happen around me..I will even forget the real world for a while sometimes even for the whole book XD I have ALOT of stuff that I do that I am fairly sure not many can or will do..

*shrugs* who knows how? Although I probably could if that person was endangering other people and/ or killed someone while I was watching or nearby... um, yea...>.< I concider myself lucky that nothing like that has ever happened and my thoughts go to those who have had to suffer this tragedy. (I also heard that after that, threats were sent to seven other universities in seven other states.. >.<) It really ticks me off how some people can act and how there can be people like that in the world and how there can be so much violence >.<

reply to all replies before me..= XD anyways..yes, it is totally natural. *nods* and if you think about it...if you are normally passionate about ANYTHING, there will always be a plateu or however it's spelled >.>;; like in science for me in school, just as an example. I LOVE science, and I only want to learn more. I've always had straight A's in science. But this year, I just can't seem to get my grade above a B, it's just a bit frustrating.. ity's a bit strange to me though because at the same time, I am doing better at my other classes O.o

Well, i have feet that always have SOME spot on them where you can peel off bits of skin so..i dunno if you'd listen to me XD I used to walk down gravel roads during summer... It toughens your feet, but if you don't like sore feet or big blisters on the pads of your feet I wouldn't suggest you walk for a mile or two on a hot day...barefoot of course

I've been stuck in fights ever since 3rd grade. Wich, in itself ticks me off sometimes when I think about it. I must say the old nut-jaw combo is still among my favorites XD nut-jaw= kick them in the groin and then just sock them right in the jaw just as they are bending over. It usually gets the job done quickly X3

hahaha 49 only because I have so many role playing sites i visit and I use the computer to study stuff that I can't get proper info anywhere else >.< I mean, I'd have to go to the library, pay $0.50 to get a new card, then look through all of the books until i found exactly what i wanted. I tried that before. it wasn't exactly fun and sane. O.o (boy am I glad I know something about the dewey decimal system now *sigh of releif*) and my emails are way up there! hahaha last time i checked I had 710 unread emails o.o;;;

*lurks*

OMG! it's team ryuoko! I love them >.

i got a katana in my hands once. I have huge respect for weapons. and i wanna see dah video *looks through posts*

um...an alluminum baseball bat XD *cough*. still love katana though... i actually have a natural talent for using shuriken,kunai..dum dum suckers *mutters last one* anyone heard of BR? (battle royal?) it's a movie and i was stuck in a rp event based off of it. i got stuck with a paper fan..

"your kung fu is not strong" - the core

can't....breathe! *face turns red* "awe, can't you choose someone else to beat up?" (for those who are always the guini pig of the clas...i wouldn't suggest it *shrugs* um i wouldn't really know because i'm not in a school (money *growls*)

hmmm i have replied "hai" to the teacher in french class I have elbowed a flat upright surface i do make sure i can punch and kick in all outfits (even dresses and skirts >.>; i can see the flaws in cheesy fight scenes and say to myself "heck even i can do better then that" or "i wonder how many times i could have hit him by now.." i have a pair of practice pants for just at home, unfortunatly, i found out i loong since outgrew them and they tore >.> i often imagine myself as an anime character... i have dodged cars while walking back and forth across the street, walking my bike... i am occasionally guilty of giving a slight bow when I thank or apologize to someone. It's become a bit of a habit. darn it >.< I often size up new people as opponents..i love to fight >.< i admit it! me and my friends actually sort of beat up on each other alot. I know this kid below my grade and we practice every chance we get. Wich isn't alot i must say >.>;; i use wax on, wax off >.< this one time a branch got broken off of a tree near my house and i used to swing it around. Mnan that heavy thing got light fast O__o When you start worshipping japanese people..or anyone who looks remotely oriental.. you are obsessed with MA when you watch any fight scene,practice vids, tournaments and count how many times you could have hit the people... (sooo guilty >.<) looking up on how to create a martial arts school. (as i am typing this actually, don't worry. I won't until i get my own style down packed and got a name and...*rants*)

Working on this- no name arts O.o so far it stresses alot on speed,flexibility,balance and knowing weak points. Such as nerves and joints.. It has both hard and soft hand stuff but has almost no kicks involved. One must maintain their ground in any situation. Fluid movements, breathing control and spending as little energy as possible to get the fight done as soon as possible. learning how to escape grapling holds (wich i am strangely good at >.<) and um..being able to basicly use anything and everything to your adantage XP That includes the enviroment, your opponent's gender and even human nature. um so really lots of -speed -fluidity -unpredictabilitiness -knowledge -balance - flexibility YOU MUST BE ABLE TO REMAIN CALM, KEEP YOUR BREATHING STEADY AND THINK THROUGH YOUR SITUATION AT ALL TIMES >.< well you know, i have had those times where i practicly went crazy from exaustion...hmmm oh! and we mustn't forget..the all important DETERMINATION..just incase you fight a really tough guy *shrugs* ...or maybe that's where speed comes in *shift eyes and cough*

and one more welcome to boot ^.~

thank you ^.^
