To me, gun ownership and use is like driving. There are a whole lot of licensed drivers out there who are a hazard both to themselves and to others. They got their license but cannot drive safely. Same with gun owners: lots of people have them, along with the false security, but couldn't fire a bull...

I understand the vertical-fist concept, my comment/question addressed the AREA OF CONTACT:: 1st/2nd knuckles, vs. 3rd/4th knuckles. Nothing to do with the orientation of the hand really. Contact can be made either way, either orientation. My question was (ok, regardless of vertical/horizontal fist o...

Once again...
The latest Black Belt magazine front cover has a person punching, with the 3rd/4th knuckles making contact. Last one I saw doing this was Tony Blauer, punching a HELMETED mock-up assailant the same way, in the same magazine. I know that these photos are posed, but every book I've read on Karate tech...

I own, and have read, the entire original paperback series of novels. I also have the novel by the the author (name escapes me) who was authorized by the publishers to continue the series. (He had Bond in a Saab 900.) It's true that the novels, although well written for their time, do not contain th...

I think the older you get, the more your memories (and the artifacts that embody them) mean to you, and so these artifacts become more valuable. I don't worship my belts but a lot of great memories are embodied in them, and also, I was taught along the way to treat them with respect, and I guess tha...

Dana: I have my white/green-striped belt, and my green/brown-striped belts neatly folded on a shelf along with a small collection of MA books. However, they are obscured by framed pictures of my deceased cat-friends whom I treasure more dearly, and would gladly have back in exchange, if only I could...

Ahmed: I'm sorry dude, but we can't post performances of songs by recorded artists, although that's mainly what we do in our bar shows. Clubs pay a yearly fee to the publishers for cover bands playing copyrighted material, but websites don't, so we can't post cover material. How about the next time ...

Sadly none of my writing is published, so, no, I'm not on Amazon. (Line left untouched.) We love sharing our music, that's what it's all about, we're all ex-pro's, now weekend warriors with day jobs. (and Karate for me!) But we take our band and music very seriously and people really respond to it, ...
