It's been one hell of a year for those of us stationed over here in Japan. I'm on a forward-deployed ship out of Yokosuka, and we were in port when the earthquake hit. We spent the next 25 days off...
Ken,
Long time no see. Sorry I've been away from the boards for so long. As you can see I moved to California instead of Hawaii. Such is the life of a Navy Sailor.
In my dojo (Toyama Ryu) we use...

I'm a rockstar in Botswana.
Did anyone else think Blaire Witch Baka Budo?
bottom line: It just gives me an uneasy feeling. If I don't feel comfortable teaching someone something, then I'm just not going to teach them. I just could not get a warm fuzzy that this guy was...
Here's my take:
When I'm in th edojo, and I'm teaching the new guys, I always emphasize that safety is the most important factor in anything we do.

That explains the whole section of those things I had on my au phone when I was stationed there. Interesting post. Thanks. (^_^)
Navy's better. :p
I'm so there! Next year. The family and I just moved to San diego last month, and we're still settling in. Our furniture arrives on Wednesday (finally). Just becuase I'm used to sleeping on...
My results...I really don't get the Kofi Anan resemblence.
Ethan Hawke - 74%
Barry Pepper - 60%
President Bush - 55%
Kofi Anan - 54% (WTF?)
James Van der Beek - 53%
Marc Antony - 52%
I would've loved to have seen a fat guy do a belly flop on that row of people.
Definately more than I thought I eer knew, but still interesting none the less. Thanks fo rthe info, Brian. Love your posts, BTW.
Okay, okay. I get it now....sheesh.
Oops.....I missed that part. :eek:
AWESOME PICTURE! One little bit of critque, though. I tlooks like the cut your character is making is what's known as Kesa-giri. A downward diagonal cut. the maint part of your blade seems to...
Wow, your art looks great! I'd love to see the final product. The best I can pull off is a bunch of stick figures with stick katanas. :(
