it's only costing me 699/year

Maybe I need to pay more to get better stuff....

Not necessarily. When you're searching for schools, the very FIRST thing you should do is look through their curriculum.

Dude, if you find a woman, find one that understands that weapons do not kill people -PEOPLE kill people. I HATE women that see guns and knives and go "OMG IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD" when they drive around a 4,000lb+ car every day. :roll: Grr... I get so FRUSTRATED!!!!

...gooooosefrahbah...

There's nothing wrong with owning weapons. Hell you can get some cases or wooden mounts for your "weapons" and hang them on your wall for decoration until you need them.

Funny you should mention that....

I had 2 girls waiting for me when I got home from a knunk-chuck semainar (we were all going to go to the movies afterwards), I show them both the knunk-chuck and one girl comments, "great, another weapon"

Yeah that I know....

Except you see....the first day I got there and was talking to the instructor for more information, this really hot korean girl signs up.

So I was distracted by her beauty and I was like, ok, sign me up!

Exactly. What's this bitch gonna do when some assfvck breaks into her house at night? Kindly ask them to leave while standing there in bra and panties? :roll: FVCK NO. Run at them NAKED, wielding a 4-foot katana in each hand! Guaranteed the world will get out in the criminal world to stay the fvck away from your house.

I can think (yeah, haha, funny) of atleast one woman that handles weapons pretty well. If some women can't get over the fact that there is an art to it, screw'em.

First female friend to give me crap (seriously, not just teasing) about my comic book collection gets a boot in the butt.

My Sabumnim's daughter, age 12 at the time, used to kick my ass without breaking a sweat every goddamn time. Also, I have NEVER seen ANYONE wield a pair of Sais like she did. It's like... frickin ballet or something -only much less homosexual. Seriously, a weapon in the hands of a trained artist is incredibly stunning. It's a beautiful thing.

I had an instructor who was a master with the bo (bow?) staff. It really is like some kind of dance. Then you think, man, if someone's head was there, this would be one bloody dance.

I finished out 2 levels of knunk-chuck training and 2 levels of stick. Taekwondo btw.

Not of her sai antics, no. She's the short blond in this pic.

The only vids the school has active are this punch break and this kick break. The kick break is Drake, the school's top student. The guy facing drake, holding the Powerbreaker, is the school's 2nd best student. I forget his name, but I used to have pics of him doing a jump front kick from just a standing position -and his chambered leg, the lowest point on the body at the top hight of the kick, is at my eye level. :Q The guy in the black dobak holding the power breaker, to Drake's right, is Sean Ellis. He's a year younger than me and the school's 3rd top studen. He's the one that I was talking about that punched through full-contact chest gear (2 or 3 inches thick) and broke the guy's rib. Not even a kick, just a simple punch. Yeah, I keep my distance.

Wooow, fancy board holding devices in those movies. Back in my day, the boards were held in hand by someone else. I took my share of lumps, including one kick to the head that knocked me into a wall, only to fall on the support for the punching bag. Yup, that was pretty sweet. Didn't have no fancy board holding thingies...

Nik's going to get us a video of him holding two swords and running towards an intruder. He wants to do it naked, but I thin bra and panties would be much much better.
