    The problem is when women see martial arts as some silly, childish thing. The problem I had in the past was women who's entire life revolved around me and spending time with me. Some women have the tendancy to give up their friends, lives, and many things they enjoy because they foung the one.

    Than they want to spend every waking moment with you and want you to stop doing the things they don't like to do, such as martial arts. It sucks, but there are lots of women in the world. Find one who accepts the things you like, is individual herself and has her own friends and hobbies, and is willing to compromise on things.

    a few things:
    1) Any girl I'm with knows that I do this, and it is my life. They need to understand this going in. Make that a priority.
    2) Any relationship requires that you are able to retreat into a neutral corner.
    My parents were married for 50 yrs. Dad (RIP) had his boat, fishing, bowling, and his workshop. Mom had her Bridge club, Stock watchers club,and various things she did around the house. They both met on common ground-going out to dinner, socializing with other boaters, going on cruises, etc.
    Trust me, if you are joined at the hip, you will fail. Frustration turns to hostility.
    You need to respect each other's space, and come together on common ground. Absinthe ..oops, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

    I was with a girl for ten years-she worked in the city, I ran my school. We saw each other at night when I came home, and on weekends-Saturdays, I taught until 2pm, then went to Sifu's until 7ish. Then Saturday night we would go out. (Sometimes with Sifu and his wife and friends.) Sundays, if there wasn't a seminar or a tournament, we'd do something.
    We rarely fought.

    for a fitness guru, simmons has gone to pot...

    there seems to be something wrong with his knee and hip alignment.

    and did he actually NEVER work on his legs?

    I guess when you weigh 450 lbs, Simmons looks like a frigging olympic athlete...

    anyway, manhugs!!! manhugs!!
    Kung Fu is good for you.
