Ti Posted August 10, 2006 Posted August 10, 2006 It's funny my sensei was telling me to tie my belt differently.Kept telling me to make it looser and have the knot under the belly.Immediately the image came into my head of those karate guys with guts the size of manhattan.
Jiffy Posted August 16, 2006 Posted August 16, 2006 HAHAHAHA, yeah, that looks funny. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
bushido_man96 Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 Kinda large but he moves okay. Looks like he moves very well. How big do you suppose he is? https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
isshinryu5toforever Posted August 20, 2006 Posted August 20, 2006 I'm not sticking up for the guys with huge beer bellies, but you do know that in feudal Japan you were supposed to be larger around the middle. The hara comment is not completely off. This is why you see pictures of samurai with a small gut, rather than looking like Greek statues. Being significantly overweight is a problem, but I can tell you when my sensei was around 245, he still had one of the fastest lead-hand backfists I've ever seen, and had no problem going more than a few rounds with guys half his age.

He who knows himself is enlightened.- Tao Te Ching"Move as swift as a wind, stay as silent as forest, attack as fierce as fire, undefeatable defense like a mountain."- Sun Tzu, the Art of War
Zorbasan Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 reminds me of samo hung in an episode of martial lawFitness Instructor: Looking a bit out of shape there cheif.Samo: No, just fat. Now you use head for something other than target.
Jiffy Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 HAHAHA, you love that quote.... hillarious.That's a really good example though. Samo isn't exactly a useless Martial Artist. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
bushido_man96 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 HAHAHA, you love that quote.... hillarious.That's a really good example though. Samo isn't exactly a useless Martial Artist.I actually watched Martial Law when it was on. I kind of liked it. And boy, could Samo move for a big guy. I know lightweights who can't move like that!There was an episode I remember seeing with Billy Blanks in it, too. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
ps1 Posted August 21, 2006 Posted August 21, 2006 Kinda large but he moves okay. He's a big guy. But he doesn't look too fat. I mean...he looks more like he's built like Bolo Young. Large chest and arms with a body that matches. I think the thread is talking more about guys who are just fat outright. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
Jiffy Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Yeah, fat and stocky are two different things. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
