i think you guys would have a funner time being civil war reenactors.

I mean, was it a high school tournament? college? freestyle? Greco? Stuff like that.

It was a high school tournament. I had to take our local test they make teachers take at this high school, and they told me not to leave if I had an afternoon session because they were having a wrestling tournament and there would not be parking. Since I only had a morning test (I like to space mine out on different days so I won't go insane) I stayed to watch wrestling. It was pretty cool except that it was hard to watch the injuries (I guess it's harder when they're younger) and it was hard to concentrate because they'd have like five matches going at once.

I'm not sure what's in your weed this week, but that's not the point. It's not about re-enacting anything.

Do you have some kind of personal problem with people who study things like this? Do you take offense, Dick? I'm only asking because you seem intent on inserting yourself into this conversation in a not-so-positive way, and I'd like to clarify what it is you're saying so I can respond.

i was just trying to pull your chain a bit mike

[DickHardman]

Oh. I see.

Was it fun?

not as fun as it could have been. however, whats really amusing is thinking about an old, out of shape boozebag like jubaji who trolls internet forums all day long at his cubicle, in between playing with pencils and eating crackers on his desk, getting off work to go play with swords and pretend like he is sonny chiba.


i imagine its something similar to these guys here, except jubaji has an even higher risk of injuring himself than these guys, since he thought for some reason that playing with swords while he was close to blacking out from alcohal was a good idea for him.

The nunchuk guy who knocks himself out and then tries to swing the chuks is probably my favorite.

he thought he was still in the zone lol.....

Yeah its a rough sport, even for the young folks.

Keep guessing, pothead. In a few thousand years you're likely to be right about something just by accident.

I think it is awesome that a married adult with a full time teaching job has the time to hack away at the internet all day long, AND study 90 different martial arts. !

Whooo! 90, huh?

Just as awesome as the one guy who posted that he does 1000 crunches, and 1000 side kicks in one hour. !

Wow, who said that?

It's just amazing that people who criticize others as being "drooling idiots" have so much darn time on their hands! !

Ah, showing us more of that rock-solid logic, D.I.?

being a self-proclaimed wise acre and pseudo expert in soooooo many areas of martial arts and politics and chinese culture and history kind of impossible! !

I think we've covered the part where I've never declared myself an expert in anything, haven't we D.I.? Forgotten already D.I.?

The part where your own ignorance makes you insecure is your problem, shitforbrains.

That was me and what I said was that I do a 1,000 kicks in two hours. They are not all side kicks. I also mix in thrust kicks and round house kicks. Actually 1,000 crunches only takes about 15 minutes but I use an ab roller device and I have been doing them for a lot of years. Gotta keep those abs in shape.

By-the-way, my basement is my dojo thus it cuts down on my time contraints.

[Hardball]

I do my kicks in sets of 100 alternating left and right legs..............Sometimes I do them with punches in between ( heavy Bag and speed bag) and somedays I work on kicks only. Hey, I'm only 50 and thats supposed to be the new 40!!!

Super Bowl weekend. Picked up a new private student this week, extra income is coming in handy. Teaching a semi private lesson on Saturday, Friday night romancing the wife, Sunday before the super bowl I'm hoping to get in some kickboxing drills on the heavy bag and some striking drills on the speedbag. What's on tap with you?

[treelizard]

Saturday night I get to watch MMA, I guess I have to watch football on Sunday but my grades are due Wednesday so I'll be doing a lot of that. Not sure what I'm doing today.
