[Shotokan-kez]

It is very nice, when you have a friend that covers all that, i think it would be a friend for life!

[Jeet Kune Do]

I actually do have a friend who does most of those, He is my best friend and its great to have a best friend,

[pegasi]

It's great you have a friend like that Jeet Kune Do.

True friends like that are rare. You're very lucky.

[karatekid1975]

I have good friends like that, too. One is one this board (she knows who she is ).

[bushido_man96]

I always say quality, not quantity!

have your friends/friend done sometihng for you so impressive/nice that you never forget.?

i'll never forget this one. in a rockclimbing trip i fell form a piece of rock around 30ft vertical, i lost all my nails on the way down trying to grab something, i landed on a hard rock and rolled around 50 yards down the slop, my friends caried me on their back to the road where they took me to a hospital, some days later one of them came to visit me and brough back my watch that i lost that day, he knew that the watch was a gift that i loved so he had climbed that rock alone and found my watch on the middle of the vertical wall , first i got mad when told me he did that alone but i can never forget what he did. he is still one of my best friends from 1984.
