aefibird Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 There were two old buddies who continued to compete in karate tournaments well past their prime. One day, while relaxing after yet another competition, they were chatting and wondering if there is karate in heaven and made a pact that whoever passed away first would come back and let the other know. About a week later one of the old Karateka passed away. About a month after that the surviving old Karateka was at yet another competition when all of a sudden he saw an apparition. Sure enough it was his old buddy who had come back to see him. "Well, please tell me," asked the surviving Karateka. "Are there karate competitions in heaven?" "I have good news and bad news for you," replied the apparition to his old karate buddy. "The good news is that, yes, there are karate competitions in heaven.The bad news is that your first match is against Gichin Funakoshi the day after tomorrow." "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..." The Beautiful South - The Rose of My CologneSheffield Steelers!
Rotten Head Fok Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 You must be stable and balanced in your foot work, if you have to use your martial knowledge in combat, your intent should be to win. If you do strike, you must release great power! The martial arts are easy to learn, but difficult to correct.

ramymensa Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 very confused.... must be a karate thing... lolThat Funakoshi guy is considerred to be the "father" of modern Karate. So we'd expect him to be quite proficient World Shotokan Karate
