I just had my son born on Wed. So you and Technopunk can go to town on me. I only wanted one. My wife says differant though....

Congratulations!!!!!

And I seem to find that most of us men are happy with small families while more women seem to want large ones. But is she still saying she wants more this soon after going through what Carol Burnett described as being like, "Having your lower lip pulled up and over your head"?

Maybe you can convince her and get her to agree in writing to only one if you move fast. :rtfm:

So I went to class this morning. Great training, I am loving the knife stuff that is part of my kyu. While I was training, Technopunk asks if I need an Uke. I say sure, he is a much higher kyu than I am so I would love his feedback. Then he gets the itch to do some knife stuff of his own, and guess what.... I get dropped on the floor, tangled in my own gi, then got a nice backfist to my junk. I was really happy about that. Back to wearing a cup for me.

This is a total lie.

It was a regular punch.

Put down the drinks for a second.

Has anyone besides me worried about their uke injuring their foot when they kick the hard plastic of a cup?

Quite honestly, if a guy is kicking you in the nuts hard enough to hurt his foot, he deserves to be hurt IMO. A kick like that with out a cup could seriously injure the person getting kicked.

Or you could be like us and train with shoes on, then you don't have to worry about it.

Technopunk is just paying it forward. I clipped his "boys" with a kick at the MT Meet & Greet... :p

CUP-3.JPG


it is padded inside and out for your pleasure... and his. I am 10 times happier with this than the usual plastic cup unit.

Excellent! I've slipped one of those disposable picnic cups into my dogi top before training with a new student, then crushed it under my arm while they were trying to apply a lock. The look on their face was hilarious. :lol:

Honest to God, could you go back and take a remedial English course? Please! I can't see even one period in the above. And that is not the only problem.

What you write is just painful to read. Are you trying to cause problems for other people, or do you just lack the ability to understand?

Let me offer you some simple advice on how to write much better. Buy one book. The Elements of Style by Strunk & White. Read and apply that book; if you can read a martial arts book, you can read it. And it will improve your writing.

Beyond that, simply separate your ideas into sentences. Sentences begin with a capital letter, and end with a period. Keep the use of "and" to a minimum unless you're making a list.

Effective writing is an essential skill, and all too often ignored today.

Primo thanks bro

I understand you are new to computers and I am sure it is awkward to get used to. Your doing better, I am seeing periods and commas in your latest posts. Please don't be too upset with people. Everyone here likes to talk about their respective arts and it is nice to be able to read the posts without having to decipher what it is the person is saying. Punctuation and smilies make a world of difference in conveying a feeling and idea. Give it some time and you will master it as well. Hang in there and keep posting.
