    Your Holiday Martial Wish List

    ok let's hear it, what MA goodies would you like for whatever dang holiday it is that you celebrate?

    bonus points if you can get the item from Martial Arts Mart.

    Here's mine:

    • half a dozen more cold steel throwing knives
    • headgear that doesn't suck
    • a set of those spring grip hand strengthener thingies
    • more time to train
    The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it's still on the list.

    the last item is only one you can give yourself.















    sorry, couldn't resist.
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    there is a good thread on broad sword.

    my Dao was broken at the tip.

    I need some cotton tops. The current ones were shrunk from the dryer.

    I am still saving for the Han Wei Adam Hsu sword or Tai Chi sword.

    argh... I knew I'd catch some crap from you on that one, Shrfu.

    I just love it when you sound like a fortune cookie.

    I hope Ming yue doesn't get married to that death guy.

    You know she won't be around much after he starts using up all her time.

    Kung Fu is good for you.

    Thumbs up Santa arrived early...

    This year, Santa is particularly good to me. I didn't have a wish list but he or in this case she (my student) delivered a surprised early present. My student went to Virginia and Washington on a company paid training trip. She bought back a book and a magazine for me. The book is "The Method of Chinese Wrestling" by Tong Zhonyi (1878-1963 CE) and is translated by Tim Cartmell. An old text of Shuai Jiao with lots of great photo of past. The magazine is "Bodyguard" which is not available in Canada [Darn Yankees keeping the good stuff for themselve. ]

    Thanks you Santa! Oops, I mean Crystal.

    Did IF let his feminine alter ego out?


    Shame on you for objectifying IF. Without him this board would be sadly on-topic most of the time, and he's a wealth of fitness and health information. For pete's sake don't be so shallow.


    dayum. just opened that thread.


    uh.. what was I saying?

    nevermind.
