[bushido_man96]

I always liked to read and study about bushido, and about ancient warfare in general, in the east and west. I love all styles and arts, and love to study the history of them. I grew up in a town of 5000, and there was only one martial arts school. If you got into an art there, people knew. I eventually ended up teaching for a few years.

So everyone knew who I was, and I even have a personalized plate that says BUSHIDO.

When I was looking for a username for my hotmail account, I tried bushido, and it wasn't available, so I went with bushido_man, and then I needed a number to make it work. I graduated high school in 1996, so there you have it: bushido_man96!

Cool names and meanings. Bushido...what exactly is bushido?

[alsey]

bushido is the way of the warrior in japanese, its the way of life the samurai used to follow.

[Shotokan-kez]

so its combat fighting then?

[alsey]

martial arts is a part of it, but its the whole way of life. honor, duty, and all that. i actually think a line by katsumoto in the last samurai puts it quite nicely:

"to savor life in every breath, in every cup of tea; that is bushido."

My first name is Adam, so that the 'A' in A Train.

The name came together more as a joke when I would say to my girlfriend (now wife) "You know you want to take a ride on the A Train". It was sort of just a joking arogance in regards to my loving abilities, haha.

In the Chinese martial arts world Hung-Ga practitioners are called Hung man or Hung men. I thought HG would be more appropriate.

A quick history lesson- The founder of our style Hung Hei Guen learned Siu Lam Kuen then changed his surname Jyu to Hung. This was done to protect his family & honor the first Ming Emperor Jyu Hung Mo. At the time Hung was part of the rebellion against the Empire (sorry couldn't resist).... reigning Ching government. His students renamed the martial art he taught as Hung-Ga = Hung Family Fist.
