When I was in NYC I had a guy and his sifu tell me they were coming to pay me a visit for talking about Chinese Tongs in a thread on another forum. According to them I had disrespected them just for talking about Tongs.:rolleyes:

on a side note-lkfmdc, I noticed you have a heavybag rack thingy in the backround. How do you like it? Does it wobble or shake?
If I built one to be larger -10feet high intstead of 8 feet, and wider to accomodate my space, do you think it would be worth the effort?
(it's only square tubing with braces welded on the ends-I'd go with 4"
instead of 3" steel)

iron eagle.
that form is a version of sanchin my bro. taught me. he is a 4thdegree in traditional okinawan shuri karate.
this is one of the ones i do. i also do a "snake breathing/tension" form for my iron body/shirt training.
as you know ,all true okinawan karate originated from kung fu,so any of the real stuff will look very similar if not exact to certain styles of kung fu.
i would like to see your snake tension form. could you film yourself and put it on you tube?? if you dont want it public you can set it so only certain people you choose can see it.

I was gonna say that it looked like a "hard" form of the Tensho kata.

I use to weigh about 175-180 in my prime. When I started dating my last gf, I gained 30 lbs. Now I want to lose that 30 lbs and I have 10-15 left.

[David Jamieson]

I'm 5'10" and float between 195 and 2 bills for the last 5 years.

I feel great!

seriously though guys, don't be so self conscious about your fat. You're not a bunch of teenage girls for pete's sake.

A paunch is ok, being healthy and having some fat is NOT a bad thing.

really it isn't.
what's bad is not being fit, not feeling well, not being able to make it through your workout.

If you're those things +fat then get to work, but if you're just carrying a few extra pounds, meh, you're successful and chicks really don't care. They care if you got a job or not. ha!

Well, my last gf also convinced me to stop doing martial arts (Yes I know, I was stupid for listening). So I had no frigging idea how out of shape I was.

This chick gained like 40 lbs while we dated. I thought I was married with how much fat she gained and how fast she gained it. I didn't realize how out of shape I was until after we broke up. I got my ass on an elliptical and was getting exhausted after 10 minutes.

To give an idea, first picture was taken back in early April, maybe right after Easter. Second picture was taken apparently a week and a half ago.

some free advice my man.

NEVER let your girlfriend/wife/mother/sister ever interfere with you pursuits and especially not your job.

Never.

No one has any place telling people what they should or should not have passion for. When they do, they simply want to have you under their thumb. drop em like a bucket of hot coal.

[teetsao]

david, you are right,we see all the movies and magazines and see guys with 2-3% bodyfat. this is not reality in most cases. most of those guys dont have jobs other than what they do. they also use things like "clenbuterol" and hgh. i am not totally against this, well i am for the "clen" just because it is kinda dangerous,but hey each to his own. if you are approaching 40 though,you need to go have your gh levels tested. if you are low,you need therapy. a friend of mine has it and has lost like 20lbs of bodyfat. it also has the funny littel side effect of "spot reduction" at rhe injection area. i know spot reduction is not supposed to be possible, but with hgh,it is. hgh is the hidden secret in hollywood,magazines and anywhere else loks and performance are required. using traditional chinese herbs will also help with healthy levels of fat,and an increase in athletic performance.

Yes, I know.

Part of it was also because of work. I was working second shift when most schools don't have morning classes. So I couldn't exactly hop out of bed and go do Kung Fu at 9 am or something.

So it wasn't 100% her fault. She didn't care for me coming home with black eyes, but I brushed it aside. When I went to second shift (2:30 to 11) at Fidelity, I decided not to try and find a school that offered early morning classes, part in because she didn't like me doing it, and part on laziness to try and find a school that did morning training.

Bawang, I weigh 200 lbs I'm 5' 10" and I attribute my "normal" look to the kungfu I practice and genetics :) . I don't bodybuild I use weight to build strength.

Besides that, My cock weighs about 70 lbs. :D

eh ive heard you have to like listen to their opininions and feelings though
:confused::eek:
Earplugs, my friend ear plugs, and a knowing smile that fools them into believing that you care...LOL.

[I don't want to sound like a "bad boy", but most women who are out on the "quick fling hunt", will have a good idea wether they are going for a fling with you or not, before they start their monologues, which in reality, is just a way of convincing themselves that they are not too "easy", and to make you work and sweat for your reward (even before you work and sweat, during your reward :D).

Of course, there are women who are not "out on the quick fling hunt", avoid them if you are not looking for a serious relationship, unless you meet the right one who makes you want a serious relationship, in which case you will smile and listen because YOU CARE!].

My buddy needed to hold him still on a table, and the little guy just KNEW he was getting a shot, so he let's out this goku style scream and pulls his body into a ball despite being held.

You're Billy Herrington (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1039809&postcount=189)? ROFLMAO!!!!


Billy Herrington (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Herrington) (born July 14, 1969, Long Island, New York) is a bisexual American actor best known for his work in gay pornography.[1][2]

Biography

Herrington grew up closeted in Long Island learning karate from his father, a sensei. He had interests in boxing, wrestling and martial arts but did not start bodybuilding until he was 24 after moving to New York City.[1]

Herrington began his erotic career when a friend surreptitiously submitted his nude pictures to Playgirl magazine. The photographs won him a "Real Men of the Month" contest and a $500 prize.[1] His appearance in the magazine caught the eye of famed photographer Jim French but it was two years before Herrington shot his first Colt calendars for French.[1] Soon after that he was shooting hardcore gay pornography for All Worlds Video. Herrington became one of the best known gay porn stars of the late 1990s, even appearing on mainstream TV programs such as Love Connection and talk-show Ricki Lake.[1][3] Herrington says the adult film industry helped him to cope with his bisexuality.[2]

Among his starring roles is the Roman emperor in the Danish feature film HotMen CoolBoyz (2000), produced by Lars von Trier's company Zentropa, also known for such films as the Oscar-nominated After the Wedding (2006) and Dogville (2003) starring Nicole Kidman.

Herrington's scene in Conquered with Nino Bacci, Colton Ford, Blake Harper, and Jay Ross won the "Best Group Sex Scene" at the 2001 Adult Erotic Gay Video Awards (“Grabbys”).

Herrington's first son was born in Autumn 2002. Herrington still occasionally performs his striptease act at gay clubs around the US.[4][5]

[David Jamieson]

There is an inverted pyramid from the roof in the sub basement of the Louvre and yes, the point of the inverted pyramid meets with a stone pyramid rising from the floor about 5 feet or so.

As far as I know, there is no grave beneath that.

It's an art museum though and it has some of the oldest artifacts in the world in it.
Not to mention the paintings! Oh, the paintings.

Anyway, yes it was the Palace of the Sun King Louis the 14th (Je suis L'etat / I am the state) and sits at the end of the Place Concorde where you can gaze straight down the Champs Elysee directly at Napoleon's arch of triumph.

If you ever get a chance to spend a day or two at the Louvre, I would encourage you to do so. It is a treasure of the world, not just France.

[Hardwork108]

Yes yes, a French castle turned art museum with an entrance designed to look like ancient Egyptian pyramids and designed by a Chinaman. They're coming for you now.... :D

Actually, the pyramid was the idea of an ex-French president who was a Freemason. Makes you wonder.......

is that in the movie or the book

da vin ci code.

banned by the church.

since it is about the blood line of Jesus's childern and grand children---


:eek:

How can someone who probably never existed have a bloodline?:confused:

Some say that the bloodline story is just more symbolism, created by people who know that most of that story is balloney.....

you guys don't know nothing, at the bottom of that glass pyramid is the last resting place of Mary, and it's protected by the priory


You can pretend and disguise the facts all you want, but we know that the pyramid is actually the location of your new European venture, the Paris San Duh! :D

ACTUALLY, no. Mitterrand simply requested remodeling. It was Pei's idea.


In 1983, President François Mitterrand requested that it be modernized, expanded and better integrated with the city — all without compromising the integrity of the historic building. The challenge was magnified by the fact that the Louvre was originally constructed, and used for most of its life, as a royal palace; it was fundamentally ill-suited to serve as a museum.

The two-phase solution involved the reorganization of the long linear building into a compact U-shaped museum around a focal courtyard. A centrally located glass pyramid forms the new main entrance and provides direct access to galleries in each of the museum's three wings. Critically, the pyramid also serves as a skylight for a very large expansion building constructed under the courtyard to provide all the public amenities and technical support required in a modern museum.


"The center of gravity of the museum had to be in the Cour Napoleon," Pei said. "That's where the public had to come. But what do you do when you arrive? Do you enter into an underground space, a kind of subway concourse? No. You need to be welcomed by some kind of great space. So you've got to have something of our period. That space must have volume, it must have light and it must have a surface identification. You have to be able to look at it and say, `Ah, this is the entrance.'"

Pei's solution was a 70-foot glass pyramid capable, in theory, of ingesting 15,000 visitors an hour. He based its proportions on the classic Egyptian pyramid at Giza and surrounded it with a trio of baby "pyramidons" and three triangular reflecting pools with fountains.

Pei offered his "luminous structure-symbol" as an ingenious way to avoid upstaging the Louvre. No solid addition imaginable could gracefully blend with the time-darkened old palace, he reasoned, but a translucent pyramid, frankly of its own time, would repectfully defer to the heavy presence of the sorrounding building by reflecting this tawny stone.

The pyramid is the geometric shape that encloses the greatest area within the smallest possible volume, so it would stand as unobtrusively as possible. It was, Pei assured them, "a natural solution." There was one more pleasing twist: the ancient form made of high-tech material would be at once much older and much newer than the Louvre.

This was not Pei's first pyramid. He had already used a cluster of glass pyramids to light an underground corridor connecting Washington's national Gallary with his modern addition Before that he had drafted a truncated glass pyramid for an abortive design for the Kennedy Libray in Cambridge, Massachusetts. "It would be very embarrassing," observed the architectural historian Robert Clark of Princeton, "if the French government found out that what they had was really a warmed-over JFK memorial."

Nonetheless, Pei's pyramid fit the strict geometric spirit of Le Notre. It would align with other abstract landmarks - the Arc de Triomphe and the obelisk in the Place de la Concorde - ornamenting the splended vista that sweeps from the Louvre through the Luileries and continues up the Champs-Elysees in one unbroken line to the Place de l'Etoile and, by implication, to the setting sun in the west.

Moreover, the pyramid appears through French history: in seventeenth-century topiaries, in the tip of the obelisk that stands in the Place de la Concorde and in the visionary gatewys, factories and crematoriums conjured up by eighteenth-century architects Etienne-Louis Boullee and Claude-Nicolas Ledoux. There is, in fact, a Place des Pyramides just off the Louvre's northern flank.

When Olivier Bernier asked if he had drawn inspiration from Ledoux's unbuilt designer, Pei looked at him "with great indignation," Bernier recalled "and he said, `That had nothing to do with it!'" Pei curously disavowed any debt to historical precedent. He selected the pyramid, he insisted, by sheer analysis. (Michael T. Cannell, "I.M. Pei: Mandarin of Modernism", 1995)
