Hello there,
I personally don't know what the problem is (apparently it's been going on a while), and you may have been informed of this already, or stumbled upon this by yourself, but I...

Hello there,

Well, first of all, I guess I'm a bit biased, having gotten my shodan in goju only last December...which means, I guess, that I can now call myself a beginner :) and, by extension, should 'shaddup...
Hey all fellow Seattle area e-budo-ka,
I went to the Center today, print schedules *are* available, and I just tried to upload a scanned schedule from the paper, but resultant file size was too...
Hi all,
Many thanks for all the suggestions. So peanut butter really does work, huh (and not just an old wives' tale)? Anyway, I wanted to stay away from rubbing alcohol unless it was really...
Shuto uchi typing (he's living the dream, doing what we all want to do at some point :) )
and
...dang, now I can't remember. Oh well, loved it all the same. Go Karate Man!
Apologies if there is a more appropriate place for this.
I currently hold in my hands (well, only one, gotta type with the other :)) a brand spanking new shirokashi tanto--with one problem: It...
I'm not Laeticia, but-
"Oho, so he thinks he can defend against fruit, does he? Ishida-kun, Nagato-san, bring me....the padded chambara bokken!"
(Sorry, I've got Monty Python on the brain...
Er, umm...yeah, I meant to do that...umm, yeah, yeah, that's the ticket! :D
Seriously though, my mom's english. Must have unconsciously channeled her!
Er, back to your regularly scheduled...
Thanks Brian,
I guess I could always use falling snow or somesuch as a seasonal indication, but I've gotta brush up on my 'uniquely japanese seasonal allusions' though (you know, what's in the...
Way up high I see
Branches waving in the wind
The chill of autumn
Hmm, something's still not quite right. Suggestions? Advice?
1. How does a kendoka apologize for hitting someone over the head?
go-MEN!
2. So a rope walks into a bar. He asks for a beer. The bartender (after the initial shock of seeing a bipedal...
Wow, some beautiful imagery on this thread. Ok, I think I wrote this when I was about 8, so, if you'll all promise not to be too critical:

Don't know if this counts as a villain, but didn't his character die in Executive Decision ...or whatever it was called (you know, the one where some Special Forces guys use a modified F-117 to board...
Where do I get it? Interestingly, it seems to be quite widely available. I seem to recall I've had it lots of places, from "Teriyaki Express"-type places to what was (until it seems to have closed...
I guess I'll have to hop on the commercial bandwagon for a bit but, for me, my Japanese meal just does not start properly until I have my unagi donburi . Yum, yum (and yes, I guess I may be...
O-medeto gozaimasu , Brian-san!
Well, that's a relief. I'll give them a call. Thanks for the quick response!
To all Baltimore-area budoka (plus any others that happen to know. Please don't think I'm trying to exclude you guys/gals :) ),
I am planning to be in the Baltimore area over President's Day...

Chris Hodsdon (who is really starting to wonder about himself if he gets his jollies from smackng poor defenseless penguins around...)
Just wondering, in a few months I think I'll have to be in 'thinking about getting first iaito mode', and I was wondering about anyone's experiences with the Nyumon Jidae Koshirae (pictured at...
I'm not Brian, nor do I play him on tv, and he beat me to it in posting a link, but this is one of the books we used throughout high school japanese. Darn handy as supplemental practice in college...
Hi all,
My name's Chris, and I've been mostly lurking on the rest of the board, occasionally posting, since I finally got the guts to register last summer (after lurking for about...well,...
Hey, I've got both those books! :)
Aye, that it is (a good book). Seward does tend to be a tiny bit full of himself, however, on occasion: read the chapter called 'Yes, I am not going out' or...
I meditate...
And then one of my kohai thinks it's incredibly funny to sneak up on me and try and scare me. Yes, I know that speaks volumes about my powers of relaxation.
Seriously, though,...
I think this has been posted before (Baffling Budo?). Personally, I think it's ok as long as it's all taken as good clean fun, and strictly as a demonstration (I know, of what ?, you're all asking),...
