NO. It's spelled Sensei.

Thunder-

Thanks for the concern. Sorry guys but hawt best friend > NGMAC. He out ranks you! XP

I was posting in the politics a good bit and occasionally the general forum but its hard to find a good thread that isnt over run with immature 13 year olds looking for cyber sects. Im more into mature civilized conversations so I come here. There really isnt anything out there in NG that interests me other than the MAC. Mono's stories are the exception. Love it! Peanut butter and chocolate is the best combination. Just barely tops pickles and ice cream! XP

Other guy-

Sensei = correct spelling.

...right.

Do any of you guys play tennis? It's so much fun...I'm going to start to play casually this year.

*breaks into tears*

Not everyone is a black or brown belt. Monocrom doesn't hold any rank and we have other members who are still in their colored belts, they just don't post as much as everyone else.

I whould have no big problem with psych games but humiliation unrelated to martial arts is going a bit too far for me...

I've never played tennis before but I do enjoy a good game of racquet ball :)

Satan:

I don't know about this pickles and ice cream business... What kind of pickles and what kind of ice cream to recomend?

I was wondering, do you still practice your martial arts actively? Or are you kinda on vacation from that for a while?

Yeah I have this thing where I have to eat a dill pickle with vanilla ice cream. I have no idea why but it tastes good to me....my stomach always hates me afterwards but its worth it. :P

Since my best friend was up this is the most Ive trained in months. It wasnt even actual training, just him randomly chocking me out and getting me into joint locks. I loved the violence. Mwahaha. But until I get some time to have a life after school and work is done I might get back into training. Im so fucking tired of the political race at dojangs now a days with the ranking system and money so Im going to be getting into RBSD, Kali, or Systema when I get back into it. Hapkido has too many missing links for me to want to continue training in it. All I want is self defense, belts do not matter to me.

At 1/7/07 08:25 PM, The-brothers-III wrote: But we can tell that you're probably not going to be satiated by this, would you like a way to tell us apart?

Sure. Could you tell us a little more about yourselves? Do you all have the same martial arts experience? Are you all the same belt? Stuff like that. Also if you could give us a way to distinguish the three of you ("me", "myself" and "I") apart from eachother that would be most helpful. Just give everyone time to get used to the three of you sharing an account and posting as one person. I personally think it's a fun idea, just a little confusing ;)

Sorry, we double posted, but we replied to another question,then saw this one.

Ok, let's see, in order now. Our families are all close to each other. Supporting each other during WWII in Germany tends to do that. The three of us were born in Germany some time after WWII. However, seeing as the Germans didn't have a spectacular past, and christianity was rapidly declining (a funny place to do that too, the birthplace of Lutheranisim and all), so We all moved to the wonderful country of Canada. Later, there, we discovered the Martial Art Kuk Sool Won, and are currently Red belts with Brown stripes(about 1/2 to 3/4's way to black). and are currently considering beginning Kung Fu(Wushu in China) when we make it to second degree (Kyo-sa-nim). Kuk Sool has two underlying diciplines(underlying meaning; you won't find this in any kind of KSW book). Heavy and light, solid and liquid. Offense and defense, almost. We don't know if this is true for all Martial arts, having only studied one, but we know that you can be exactly the same, but totally different depending on which dicipline you prefer. Oh, and like diciplines are never used against istelf. you never fight heavy with heavy, and never liquid with liquid. It is realy a very exiting time to see a master of Solid and a master of Liquid fight each other, but it doens't seem to work so well when you use similar styles.
Now, telling us apart....usually we all post together, and if anyone of us stands out or wants to say somthing extra, then we'll tell you who it is. Although sometimes only one of us will want to speak on a topic, in which case the other two agree to void their opinions. Generally when this happens the author will sign it at the end, and when he refers to himself then he will not capitalize the word (I.E. i am German) and when he refers to a brother he will capitalize it (I is German). but we realize that we are human and skrew up every now and again we will forget to sign, or not to capitalize. but there are still ways that we can be twixd. each of us has a distinct writing style.
Me is the satirist. his entries are usually short and too the point. and he often uses analogies that would otherwise make no sense if anyone else used them. he gets a kick out of refering to himself as Me, because otherwise it would be improper English
Myself is the realist, and in many cases the buffer between Me and I (who are constantly bickering). He tends not to sugarcoat things with humor, nor advanced literary devices to cause the true meaning to escape from the laymen. To steal a famous line "He tells it like it is." This doesn't always get him friends, and it doens't always let him win, but he is sturdy in his beliefs that a lost cause should be avoided.
I is the Idealist and the exact opposite of Me. Where Me tells jokes, I gives a stirring oration. Where Me bounds forward almost aimlessly, I plans his strikes and sweeps ten moves in advance. It must be understood that I and Me don't usually disagree on the subject itself, but how to present it. They know that both that each other's way works, but they want it tooled to their own personal preferences. I generally gives long entries that have a lot of literary devices, if you know what those are (no offence, but you'd be suprised that many don't know a similie from a metaphor)
Oh, and it should be noted that there is a fourth. He's not a brother, and he doesn't usually partake in debates, but he does write all this down when we're to busy arguing to type. His name is Thomas, and thank him for us when you get the chance. When you look on myspace under the brother Me, Myself, and I it's his picture you see, he keeps it, even though it's under his name. He is actually typing the right now, but is too used talking like a group of people, as opposed to one person to stop typing like this. He's only in highschool, so forgive his spelling.

Mampo-

Hello. Welcome. I suggest trying protein, vitamin and mineral supplements in a fruit smoothie every morning before working out. For bulking weight and resistance training is always the way to go. Working out isnt going to give you any improvement without the right diet and supplements. Go to a natural health food store, a nutritionist or a personal trainer and they can tell you what you want to know. I'm working on a Masters in Holistic Nutrition so I might be able to answer specific diet related questions. Its spelled Wing Chun btw....but a lot of people spell it different ways. As long as we know what you're talking about I guess it doesnt matter.

Bi0-

Welcome back! Havent seen you around in a while. How are things with training going? Welcome back to myspace too!

Brothers-

Eeeyeah....you guys should get seperate accounts. You're confusing me. =D

About the tennis-

OMG I fucking love it but I havent played in 3 years. A close training buddy of mine in Muay Thai had a tennis scholarship at Peidmont and I played with him a lot. Since I moved here I havent had anyone to play with. Its really great for reflexes and endurance.

Bi0Reaper told me to come here and ask for tips and stuff, basicly im pretty tall and really skinny round my waist and chest and want to bulk out around that area cos i look like a stickman. my arms are already quite strong and i have no trouble doing pres ups and stuff. o yer and ive also done a few classes in wing shun (i think thats how you spell it)

There is also The Ng Gym that you could probably get some advice from :)

We don't know if this is true for all Martial arts, having only studied one, but we know that you can be exactly the same, but totally different depending on which dicipline you prefer.

In my style (Chinese Kenpo Karate) we don't have specific underlying diciplines as you put it, so I'm not quite sure if I know what you're talking about. Many of our techniques implement a blending of fluid, circular motions with ridgid, straight motions. For example, a technique will start out with a circular motion to block building up momentum to then strike hard and fast. Is this similar to what you're talking about?

As far as telling you guys apart, that should help when needed.

Is Thomas also involved in martial arts?

I've been out of high school and I still make many spelling, punctuation and gramatical errors, so no problem :)

Two more things: I noticed in your profile that your age is listed as 79, would this be your ages added up?

And some other members of this club have MySpace pages (myself included). I am unabe to find your page on my own, could you post a link?

lol I always say that. There is still a guy in my kung-fu class who buges me about the "ginseng in my coffee" because i was drinking that fusion power coffee when he saw me. But, hey, it raises endurance and energy, and when taken correctly it makes you sleep better and deeper, so you wake up feeling rested. I love it :D

Hey guys, many of you probably don't know me. I used to come here back in the day. I still talk to Semi a lot.

Well I am still kickboxing (it's actually more Krav Maga). We aren't very active in the Jiu Jitsu section anymore. I have gained lenght and currently weigh 76.3KG. (168 pounds).

Perhaps, with a little bit of luck I will get to meet Fedor again.

Sadly, no, as much as we would love to go to china, we neither have the capital to go, nor the time to learn the language. we are however, learning Spanish. We just wanted to point that out because we just saw "Fearless" and hadn't known that previously.

Kuk Sool has two underlying diciplines(underlying meaning; you won't find this in any kind of KSW book). Heavy and light, solid and liquid. Offense and defense, almost.

Almost. As stated earlier You'll never find these in a book, and you'll almost never hear it. mostly because it's not a real style you have to sit down and learn. the difference between solid and liquid is the diference between little things, like blocking, and re-directing. Between Force applied and force made null. and it changes from person to person. we've been looking around and have seen it a bit in other martial arts, particularly solid in Kung Fu, and liquid in (H?)A(p?)kido. but nothing we've found yet quite uses both like we see in Kuk Sool

As far as telling you guys apart, that should help when needed.

You're very welcome

Brothers-

I sent you a friend request on myspace in case you're wondering who "Sara" is. kkthnx

Hey guys, been busy this week. And sad to see that DSM hasn't posted since he came to his decision regarding his school. Just 3 things I wanted to touch on:

1) (This is mostly for wiid)
Some of us are also good enough to teach martial arts. Don't let that get you down. We don't make fun of anyone who can't teach or who is below a Black Belt. Despite not having a rank, I do know enough that I could teach if I wanted to. Just an honest evaluation of my abilities. A few Arts have no ranking system but are worth looking into. Besides mine, JKD comes to mind.

2) To: satan-
Hey little sis. If you want to take up RBSD. I recommend that you stay away from one particular system. It's called C.F.A. (Contemporary Fighting Arts) run by Sammy Franco. It's not the system I have a problem with. It's the guy who runs it. There's not one specific thing I can point to. But a bunch of little things that bother me. He has several books and DVDs out. His earlier work is great. But lately........ it's just something that bothers me. He's had 4 forums set up on his website. Been a member of 3 of them, including his latest one. Just the way he ran his last 2 forums that concerned me.

Anyway, if you have ANY questions regarding R.B.S.D., feel free to post here or even PM me.

3) To: Akula-
Good to see you here. I joined just as you left the last time. Hope you'll post more.

I remember you from the outside forums.

Either way, yesterday was an amazing test. We had one kid throw-up, a nine-year-old pass, a kid who won two seperate competitions within the testers, and one kid who everyone thought was gonna fail pass.

All in All, it was an amazing test, 8 people tested for black belt and they all made it. It was freaking amazing.

Yo what up G's been busy with school and whatnot so posting was not really top priority.

I decided not to get a second job because I feel if I walk on my TKD school now then it will just get to bad. I dunno I just feel as if though I will be able to save it. Oh well, I'll see.

On a lighter note I destroyed my back on Saturday. I tried doing front flip again and man did I die. I kinda went nuts and would not stop doing it till I got it. Constantly missing the mat we where using and after I land run back to line to do it again right away.

Also I can now do 100 push-ups in a minute which I find to be sick. At first I didn't think it would be fast till I got the time. My next goal will be 120 which is 2 per a second.

O and welcome back Akula.
