Jason,
Just sit around with people who know Vicki and you'll think you have.

She is one of the most incredible people I've ever met.

Any more information Bill?

In regards to the last video, it was excellent performance art. I really enjoyed it but it sure wasn't close to how anything is done in the real world.
I have Javier Martinez's books and thought they were pretty interesting.

Not that changes things but the Twitter posts by those who knew him fill in some back story. Bill, what kind of effects can alchohol poisoning have on a person?

Failed in getting him mental help or keeping him on a watch list. The guy is pretty whacky. The second rhetorical question stems from my liberal friends who are trying to place blame on Palin. It's as if they can't accept that sometimes a lone nut job can cause great damage. They need someone to bla...

The suspect still had ammunition in his weapon when he was tackled, Dupnik said. Law enforcement officials had previous contact with the suspect and he had made threats, the sheriff said. from NPR Article Will a long time LEO be looking for a new job?

Kind of like the Latin Mass. I could follow along in Brooklyn or in Rotterdam, but I still couldn't get the sermon.

Then again, we can just do what the Japanese do and use their own words for things. Using English may take the exotic out of it but it'd sure make it easier to understand.

"Is that safe? What if he was a psycho?" Is that safe? Well Bill isn't safe to begin with. Remember to keep your guard up both physically and intellectually. What if he was a psycho? With Bill you probably wouldn't even notice. :lol: Bert, Pick Bill's brain as he has a lot to offer, part ...

Mike, That's an interesting question. In the 20's and 30's the Okinawan's had a vested interesting in becoming a stronger part of the Japanese empire, hence the motivation for sharing karate. I don't know Victor, what makes the middle 20's different? Looking at history we had Japan kicking booty in...

The problems Karate faces run much deeper than the effective practioner here and there upholding what karate should be .In general its weakened ,the rot as set in as a fighting art . I think that's the key right there Max. Karate is no longer even thought of as a fighting art, so that rot just cont...

On the other hand would the Okinawan’s even try instead preferring to keep what they have to themselves?

Considering history, they'd be the first to line up and make a go of it.


Though not the first karateka to hit our shores, Tsutomu Ohshima started the Caltech Karate Club in 1957.

Yes, I suppose many early street brawls included going to the ground and included some kicking, but I suspect that street fighters today are far more skilled. In my experience I haven't seen that as I still mostly see unbalanced haymakers, overhand rights (usually way out of range), bull rushes and...
