No, I literally pitched a tent. One of those play-tents for my daughter's birthday party coming up. What were you guys thinking of? Jeez....

Off the subject hows your Mom been KC

[The Willow Sword]

KC.

Mom is doing well. She is still working in Geriatrics and floating to a couple of Nursing facilities in cedar park , Round Rock and Marble Falls. She is "on call" for most of the facilities. All is well.

Judge Pen....you said you found the old training manual that went to the t.v. show on KET. Is this the manual that has the spiral bound? I have this manual as well from when I studied at the Sport Center in 1984 or 85. Yes, he does call everything karate. The pictures in it are pretty funny. I thought I was the only one that had this book.

Yes, its a spiral book that went with the KET "Karate" series.

wow....I thought i was the only one that had that old thing. Does Sin The even still sell that book?

[mkriii]

Here is a question since we are talking about Sin The' and his books....On the cover of his newest book I guess he is standing in a crane stance, why on earth would you wear a pair of cheap looking tennis shoes for the cover of the book? It looks really crappy, almost like its bogus. If I were wanting to promote a book on Shaolin kung fu (or karate or whatever he calls it) I would look the part that I was playing, not wear a pair of dirty looking shoes.

No, I didn't buy the book. A friend gave it to me--I'm not sure where he got it from.

Maybe you should be his PR director.

You probably don't wear a mullet either... and who cares about his shoes anyway? You think he should try for a Nike endorsement or something?

Are you Sarah Jessica Parker trolling?

[arinathos.valin]

It's "trolling" like that that has helped this thread get to near 500 pages... so don't knock the trolls!

Actually, he's not the only one who's got the same opinion about the tennis shoes. Perhaps more importantly, why don't they put out a new edition that corrects some of the inconsistencies and errors in the book?

[mkriii]

No, not a nike endorsment but there are shoes made specifically for martial arts such as pine tree, addidas, etc..... Even bare foot would have looked better than those nasty looking shoes.

Trolling? LMAO.

BTW personal appearance plays a big part when looking for a m.a. school. Wearing crappy clothes IMO is not the best way to attract students.

Some?? Why stop at "some"?? It'd be a great time to clear the air on (as my 4 yo stepdaughter says) "allit".

I say write a new one, skip the stories of Tripping the Light Fantastic or whatever & bare bones this thing with honesty & 100% unadulterated truth on what's what, from where, who, how & etc...

But then again I've been told I can't handle the truth but not nearly as cool as Jack would've told me. I'm still waiting to see what truth it is I can't handle.

Well you're going to be waiting for a very long time, because the truth you're waiting for is the truth you can't handle, so by giving the truth that you're waiting for, will expose you to that which you can't handle and therefore the truth will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!!!!!!
