I figured I should introduce myself

[IcemanSK]

After all these years on MT, I've never done that.

I'm IcemanSK. I was given the ringname "The Iceman" by my kickboxing trainer in the early 90's. I was named after the ring name of Canadian kickboxing legend Jean Yves Theriault. I was flattered & asked my trainer, "woe, you you really think I fight like him?" He laughed & said, "Naw, but ya kinda look like him a bit." The SK is for Superkick, the name of the gym. My trainer, Kevin McClinton quoted in my signature, became a great friend of mine. Kevin died of a brian tumor at 42. My school (Superkick Taekwondo) is named after him.

I began training in Taekwondo in 1982. In my MA journey, I've also trained in Western boxing, full contact rules kickboxing, a bit in Hapkido & Aikido as well as Kang Chuan Do Karate.


Martial Talk has been by far the best MA discuss board I've seen!

Welcome to MartialTalk IcemanSK... err... I mean..umm...well hell, nothing I usually say here really fits hahahahaha

I really enjoyed your introduction and the history behind your name and the name of your school and I agree with you that MT is the best!

 

[Xue Sheng]

Well its ABOUT damn time.... so HOW many years HAVE you been posting without anyone knowing who you are

Umm aaaaa....welcome

I love the Superkick story and I love hearing about folk whose posts and thoughts I have been reading and have created an impression of only to subsequently find that I actually knew nothing about them and had completely the wrong picture. I think a big thread of personal bios would be cool

Oh, and welcome to MT. Enjoy yourself while you are here
Yr most obdt hmble srvt,

I thought I procrastinated, you've turned it into an art form. I feel funny about welcoming you to the board when you've been here longer so I'm just going to say :wavey:

 

[Gordon Nore]

Thanks for sharing that story, Iceman.

 

[arnisador]

Welcome!

I've never done it either...this forum didn't exist when I signed up!

Iceman or Tom or Super Ice it is about time you finally made some introductions about yourself. I mean all these years here and we new nothing about you except you was some dude posting under some name that Chuck Liddell has and I figure you was him and not you.

Sincerly
Terry or Terryl or Post Whore Extreme

No introduction necessary, although it's certainly a pleasure to meet you. I remember your posts well from the much celebrated Stickgrappler forum, my first memory of you being when you said that notable Savateur Charlemont defeated English Boxer Driscoll with repeated kicks that he could not get past.

Anyways, it's always refreshing to hear from someone that knows there stuff and enjoys what they're doing. I'm glad that you're here.

All the best!

I've never been (or heard of) Stickgrappler forum. The person you speak of is not me.

I'm sorry for the confusion. He went by the name Iceman as well.
