Beautiful work Ian!

So George, I guess this means we will have to watch out for the blue hairs especially with the new castle doctrine here.

I'm with you Laird. If they dish it out, I hope they like what they are serving because they are going to get a taste of it sooner or later maybe not today or tommorrow but the will taste it.

Michael, There are plenty of Dojo's in your area. Frank Gorman has a new Dojo of Hillsborough Ave/ Old Tampa Road just near the split. Uechi Dude knows exactly where its at. There is also George Shreaffer, Rick Martin and one other dojo all in close range of each other. I am working out in Seffner w...

Benz, sorry to here about your experience. I think the sanchin testing needs to left to people who actually know how it should be tested.

2Green I'm with you, I would prefer to be accountable for my own actions and achieve goals and standards I set for myself. Now as for fishing we got it good down here. Saltwaters fishing is the best IMHO. I taught my wife to fish and I can't control her now (not that I ever could :lol: she's convinc...

We are seeing the same thing happen in the industrial market.

The number for Rick Potrekus is now 561-471-4006 and there e-mail is Okkc@bellsouth.net.

JEff, these are some awesome tapes. I have the first one and my sensei bought the second. They are well worth the money. If you keep an open mind and watch some of the techniques from gojo and shorin-ryu and try them in uechi they make the katas flow better.

Excellent question!

I would have to say that Hidiyoshi was more successful because he used both men as mentor's. He found the strengths and weakness in both and blended the two and found the balance that made him a great leader, someone that the people under him admired and would do anything for.

Bill and anyone else interested. There is an exellent article in Journal of Asian Martial Arts about Russian Systema. The article has a section on Stimulus Responce Training and how the military uses it to bypass a humans aversion to hurting its own species.With quote's from the book ON Killing by G...
