Great! some one else speaks Southern beside me!!

I feel that, for a school to grow large, and still maintain a high quality, they would have to start small, and cultivate good, skilled instructors and/or assistant instructors, and gradually grow. Just my thoughts

It looks to me like a deflection setting up a joint lock. I think it may depend on the following movements, or maybe the preceding ones.

Glad to see Steve Via at the top!!

This was before that, I think. I may have gotten confused, which I do from time to time. My ride was much slower and cheaper. A 63 Austin Healey Sprite! I loved that car and it did well in my class.

It actually did handle very well, the owner did some SCCA autocross events in it and won his class more than once. I might be wrong about the cylinder configuration, as I helped him tune it a few times, and drove it sporadically. The carbs would dtay tuned for more than two rounds, and it took...

The only Jaguar I was ever around was a 1966 XK-E, with a 12 cylinder engine and three carbs! It was hard to tune, but ran and handled extremely well. But, it could kill you every bit as fast as the furry kind.

If the basics of the system are followed, and, more importantly understood, other than the common changes, the kata/hyung/form should stay faithful to its' core concept. Physical changes will happen for many reasons, such as body type, and even where you train. If the core concepts remain then I...

I find your lack of faith in the"Force:... } disturbing!

I'm in Memphis. I'm not sure where this gentleman has his dojang. I have talked to a couple of our long time practitioners and they don't remember him.I think that he may have trained occasionally with Master Rhee. I'm going to look a little deeper.

It's calleda shower curtain hook.;)

This question is sort of rank test related. To day, I ran in to a person on line that claimed to have trained with my instructor, but now has his own style and has given himself the rank if 10th dan. He says he trained with him for thirty years, but when I asked about which location he attended...

Is that a Remington in your pocket, or are glad to see me? :p

I have a flip phone..nuff said.

A good technique for just such a scenario is told hold up the latest I-phone! When they start hyperventilating, knock the crap out of them!

I want one anyway!!!

I have to humbly disagree, but understand your point. I feel like there will be people around who more than "Wham Bam Thank you ma'am when seeking training, no matter what the style. There will always be students who want to go a bit deeper in to the essence of the system. As it has been in the...

No, Dog. I just looked out back and the goat is still there!

Bill, I understand. I also have afib, but is under control with meds, and the rest of my 72 year old body creaks and moans as well. You might want to consider finding a Tai Chi class, and doing a bit of cross training. It always helped me, and let me keep training in my KDK system well past my...

There is a wonderful technique for this! Look over to your opponents corner, bug your eyes out in wonder and say,"Look! it's Lady GaGa!!", or, you can just run! RUN AWAY!!, ala Monty Python.

I feel that all martial arts, even the traditional systems, will still be around in 50 years, but possibly more geared toward the needs of the future generations of students. I believe that what we practice is called martial "arts" for a reason, otherwise, it might be known as martial copying...

Well, sometimes I wear my underwear on the outside of my pants, and put my shirt on backwards, but this hasn't happened since I stopped drinking!

Chuck Norris Action Jeans!!

It just felt good to be out on the range!

I just like getting a response!

It was a typical,"Hey, Y'all - Watch this!" moment.

MGM studios lion mascot, Leo, was from the Memphis zoo. I'm not sure when it was filmed, but I know it was way before my time. And I am old!!

Sure. I was down in the wolf river bottoms doing some plinking when we came across what I thought was a dead bobcat. As my .22 was empty, I poke critter with the muzzle and it sprung straight up and let out a yell. I fell over backwards in to what turned out to be poison ivy, the cat posture...

I poked a bobcat once......just once!

I would think, possibly both.
