Knuth Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 When it comes to Martial Arts who influences or inspires you the most? Semper Fi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Actually I had a very wonderful sensei who influence me quiet a bit. He started training a bit later in life as a family event with his sons. And at one point the boys even outranked him. As I learned and stayed involved every time I wondered if I was too old to do this I didn't have far to look for an answer. For me it was a very good thing to have a fellow age grouper involved in my training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacificshore Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 In terms of the martial arts, I'd have to say Bruce Lee and the Hong Kong kung-fu flicks!! Di'DaDeeeee!!!Mind of Mencia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G95champ Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 The American Nija moves was what first got me into Martial Arts. Once I got into a class my sensei and other higher ranked students were all the influence I needed. (General George S.

Blade13 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Ninja Turtles were what made me take up martial arts! I dont care what anyone says, I still like the show/movies. (I have strange taste. Im even a huge Vanilla Ice fan!) hehe Anyway... nowadays my inspiration comes from myself. I know that I am capable of much more than I can do now, so I push myself to achieve it. If I'm ever tired and lack motivation I just watch a martial arts movie with a lot of fighting in it (ex. Fist Of Legend) and I get pumped and ready to work! Sometimes though, my motivation comes from an unstoppable deadline! (ex.- getting ready 4 a demo,tournament, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G95champ Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Blade the Turtle are pretty cool but I would keep the Vanilla Ice thing on the down low. LOL. All kidding aside I liked Vanilla back in the day as well. LOL...... Ice ice baby to the extreme. LOL..... God thats sad.... (General George S.

karatekid1975 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 OMG!! I used to chew people up and spit them out for liking Vanilla Ice LOL (I was a metal head, but now I'm more open-minded lol). Anyways, my MA influences: I definitely would say my TSD instructor (Mr. B). He not only helped me with technique and MA stuff, but he was like a big brother. He gave me advice many times for stuff. I haven't been in TKD long enough to have influences lol Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotochem Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 I would have to say it was my first sensei who passed away. He convinced me to give it a try. He said youre not to old or out of shape and that I could do it. He made me believe.... now Im 50lbs lighter,faster,stronger and Ive done things I never thought I could do 10 yrs ago. I also found my current senseis who are the same kind of people as my old sensei and friend. I feel the same about them. Pain is only temporary, the memory of that pain lasts a lifetime.
