I've considered re-taking karate sometime.  I had just gotten my purple belt before I had to move and left my dojo.

I would also love to learn Jeet Kune Do.

So how good was Jaden Smith in Karate Kid?


yes Kendo is the staff fighting you see with guys in the steel wire masks, pretty cool stuff (not to be confused with Kyudo, the bow form)

didn't see that remake, the first one was best, the rest were kinda lame and the fourth one with Hilary Sw**k bites the big one

Hahaha, I like the way it censored Sw**k.  It really was a w**k film, I saw a few years back.

I've not seen the new one either.

Mmmm The Dead Flag Blues. If only the rest of the album could be a fraction as good as the first 6 minutes of that song.

great style, very practical for street self-defense, though you should know Bruce Lee specifically noted that Jeet Kune Do not be systematized or formalized, so make sure you go to an instructor that knows this-- JKD should be an ever-evolving martial art (like Prog).  You might also look into Wing Chun, Lee's original style he learned in Hong Kong (you see Robert Downey using it in the Sherlock Holmes movie)

I came up with an idea earlier and wondered if it was possible and if so, whether it had been implemented yet.

The idea is that if I put on a DVD on my laptop/PC, is it possible via a Network for someone else to also watch it?

I've been learning kyokushin, and it doesn't have a purple belt, so what does it mean?

you do Kyokushin?  Wow, I love that style, it's completely brutal;  do you actually train in real Kyokushinkai?  Full contact, no protective gear, head kicks allowed?

Speaking of martial arts, Tae Kwon Do is so useless amirite? I took it for 4 years and learned nothing. NOTHING.

yeah unfortunately Taekwondo is not the best for fighting skills, it's more of a sport (a great one though)

Well, I wouldn't call it useless. It did improve my flexibility quite a bit. But other than that, not much...

I don't know. I like GY!BE, but for some reason that album is just terrible to me.
