"It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there" :laugh:
The main actor in "The Transporter" was also in Jet Li's "The One", and in the behind the scenes feature he said that he wanted Jet to show him some kung fu for the movie, which lead me to believe...
My old fencing instructor is actually Hank's old senior student, so I've met him a few times. He's very jovial and easy-going, until you spar with him anyway, ha ha. He'll tell you to go easy on him...
If only I knew someone who was a pilot then I could afford to fly across the country and train in your dojo, Mr. Elias. :laugh: Ah well, let me know if you ever have an east coast brance in the...
Actually I was hoping to work for Dark Horse, TokyoPop, or DC's Vertigo line where things aren't so spandex bound. I love JR jr.'s work, back from when he did the Daredevil mini with Frank Miller....
I never would have thought to see a subject on comic books, ha ha, especially since that's the field I'll be in soon. Well, I'll make sure to do my best so that in the future I'm not on some hate...
Thanks for taking that into consideration! It's all too common today for people to learn by books and videos, they don't realize what they're missing. If you do have the time, that's great. I believe...
Two hours is not a lot of time to travel when it comes to quality training. Most people give the excuse, "But I'm really busy," but if you are actually serious about learning a martial art correctly...
Hello,
I'm still working on research for my story, so I'm back with some more questions. When a samurai was masterless, they had to let their hair grow back out, correct? What would an entire dojo...
Thank you very much, Mr. Skoss. I thought it would be easy to do a period piece, but I suppose that it's easy to forget how much goes into a culture of any time period.
I'm writing and illustrating a Japanese story, similar to a fairy tale. It's based in the Tokugawa era, so I'm having to do a lot of research. One of the problems I've run into was whether or not...
Heh heh heh, good times... :laugh:
Ah, Eddie, I am glad that you are back. After a hard day's work it's nice to sit back and chuckle.
I just wanted to say what a pleasure it has been reading the replies to this thread. Hearing different and similar points of view from experienced martial artists in a non-hostile way is something...
Does anyone know where I can buy a pair of brown tabi socks? Thanks!
Hi!
I'm not sure if this issue has been brought up before, but I was wondering about historical/traditional roots of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and if they use Japanese terms. I'm guessing not since none...

Where would these be availible? Thank you for your help.
Would anyone happen to known of any sites out there with information on Jigen Ryu Kenjutsu? Just curiousity really, since all I really know is that the style was known to incorporate aggressive,...
I posted a reply that should answer your question somewhat over at the SFI JSA board, Mr. Delage. Good luck in your future training!
I was just curious about the name of the kata you performed from the second MPEG in your dojo's library. I know the first one is Shodan No Kata, correct? Thank you!
Many thanks to your insight on the matter, Mr. Hartman and Mr. Scott! This came up due to my experience with fighting kendoka, and other people using "scrapper"-type technique with a katana. All of...
Ha ha, I feel so bad, I had to really look at what you write before I finally realized what it meant. :laugh: Guess I should listen to mom and speak more of my native tongue...
I'll e-mail Mr....
I feel kind of bad having you have to remind me to sign the guestbook, but now you have a new entry. It's a shame we're at opposite ends of the US, I'd love to study Nakamura Ryu. Maybe one day!
