Zaitoichi was great. Riiiight up until that stupid dance scene at the end, then it became retarded in a micro-second. Oh, and the CG'd blood through-out the film was a little... pants? For me, probably anything with JCVD in it. Mullets and jeans may have been in in the early 90's, but is just...

Yeah, that bit's great isn't it. When it "hunkers" down and then put the pedal to the metal. Great fun.

Ah, lucky to have that kind of room. England's around the same size as Montana. With 50 million people. Motorways here are bumper to bumper, you'd try doing 253mph and end up going into the back of someone ala this guy http://newsbbc.co.uk/ Type Bugatti Veyron in the top right search box. Then...

Tell me about it. Obviously there were rules, James May's pilots licence didn't allow him to fly at night, but even so. Jeremy Clarkson kept getting stopped by the local gendarme because they wanted to check the car out. Lol. I mean, you would wouldn't you. Let's face it, you're a copper, and...

That was from Top Gear, UK tv show 'bout cars. It's such a great show. As for the Veyron... Apparently it costs VW 5 MILLION quid per car to make, they sell it at a loss, but they've done it predominantly as an engineering exercise. Well, I think they've succeeded. It's mind-bogglingly gorgeous...

Bang on mate, without fun, what's the point in anything. Lol. :) I've been going over the basic moves since my first class, and while it's early days, everything flows from one to the next, which is an obvious thing to say, but Wing Chun, my "main art" is fairly straight forward. Although still...

Thanks mate. Little one's ok. Just found out though that she has a blocked kidney, and may require surgery. She's grand other than that though, very bright and smiley. I'm eagerly awaiting my next class now. I find it's really set up me up for the day. Put me in a great mood for the rest of...

Finally! After much waiting, I had my first Sun Style Tai Chi class this morning. Was great!! Nice atmosphere, nice instructor, good mix of people from 17 to 70. It was only a beginners class, but I could sure feel it on the ol' legs. My teacher said, that tai chi done properly, although highly...

Fair enough. My parents are Irish, and many moons ago, when I'd have a few too many, I'd break into an Irish accent. Very odd. :) I don't drink any more of course, so that nipped that in the bud. Can do quite a fine American accent if I say so myself. Lol.

MACaver said: Lol, any particular reason why, or just because you can?

North Eastern accent for me apparently. I actually have quite a well spoken English accent, so close enough for me. :) A Midlands accent in the UK, is quite different. You have to hear it to believe it. Instantly makes someone sound as though they have an IQ on a par with Dubya.

So you're wanting to learn, and find yourself in a predicament. See your point. Bit of a toughie really mate, I personally don't think there's much you can learn seriously about an art, from a book/dvd, if, however there is NO other alternative at all, then you have to make the most of a bad...

Deep tissue massage sounds intriguing. I do like to get a massage once in a while, every couple of months or so. A good way to unwind, and to ward off potential nasties, stress/illness etc.

Is deep tissue massage the same as an accupressure massage? I had one at our local Chinese TCM practitioner in town, and I was veeeery pleased with the end result. The few days prior to it, I was starting to feel quite viral, what with working full time, studying full time (in what spare time I...

I've had a few episodes like that. Nothing as severe as needing to go to hospital, but I've reached the point of stuffing myself with fruit and in particular, bananas. Wonder food.

YAY!!! The Sens lost. As a Leafs fan, this pleases me greatly. :) GO DUCKS!!

Count on it mate, in fact Click here Follow the link, and click on the video on the right hand side of the page, and the chap with the red t-shirt on. They're repeating it again this year, and I'm down to attend. :)

History, traditions and concepts of wing chun, can in my opinion, be read about. Applying physical lessons learned from a book, or a dvd in my view would be counter-productive. Immerse yourself in the art, and it's ideas, and train hard. Run, swim, free weights etc. Another important thing to...

Hello mate, I know daft isn't it. My mate at work read it at first, then said it to me, I'm not sure I can see it myself, but he swears that's all he can see now. Lol. Ah well, at least it gave us an expensive laugh. ;)

Hi Xue, I'm assuming (which generally means the mother of all flip-ups) that this would be THE sun style that my local class runs? Looks great mate, can't wait to start training in it. Not having any further babies that will be born on the morning of a training class!! long story. sheesh.

New Zealand baby!!! Yeeehaaaa!!!

I'd trained in Karate as a child, for a few years, then later on in my late teens, I spent several years doing ju-jitsu. I just felt that I was learning very robotic movements, some of which I felt were too complex to condition into my automatic reflexes. I'd heard about Wing Chun, and its...

MA-Caver said: No me either, like I said, I read some comments on the BBC HYS (Have Your Say) and am not sure I'd go with it.

Apparently, according to the BBC website, it's meant to represent the numbers "2012". If you look really hard, it's possible to see it... The team responsible for accepting have said that it's meant to be "evolutionary, and forward thinking", and may well "evolve before 2012". In other words...

There are equally many people who see it as eroding their own indigenous ways. Some hardline Islamic cultures in particular. Me? I quite like a nice Mc-d's when I've got 20 minutes for lunch. Although for whatever reason, I'm always hungry again about half an hour later. Sukerkin, whereabouts...

It does look like a small motorbike engine. Triumph Daytona 675... *Drools*

There's a universally disliked singer in the UK called James Blunt... I shall leave it to your imagination what that means. Eg, "that bloke's a right James Blunt"! Marvellous. :)

That was cool, nice one Xue. ;)

You been beating up on poor ol' trees again eh mate? Bully. ;) Seriously though, glad you're enjoying Sanda. I've been back in training with my Wing Chun, after 3 months off it with my daughter (no energy to train!!). And I'm bruised and battered again. I love it. :) Let me know how the tree...

If kung gu constitutes standing around, with no guard, throwing no punches, and throwing the same lame, predictable kicks, then that was fantastic kung fu... However, that's not my experience of KF.
