I agree with doug of the protruding mammaries, there be black belts and there be black belts. when I used to train I used to take delight in walloping the dancer boys - the looks on thier faces as a "yellow belt" bashed them was priceless.... I remember changing from Tae Kwon do to Karate and I was targeted by the toughnuts because I had "Tae Kwon do" plastered over my back instead of "Karate". they were very attractive laying on thier backs , I neglected to tell them that I had missed a number of grading sessions and was a "returning" ex-student!

mind you they did thier kata's beautifully and they could break 18 inch boards of 3/4 inch pine no problems.... Im reminded of the Karate kid where Pat Moritia is asked can he break wood and he answers "Dont know, never been attacked by tree"

Hi Guys. I'm new here and have to say I think this is one of those fake ads your meant to spot in the local papers. Apparently you get a chance to win $100 or something similar.

Please don't tease all the old dudes here,
they all seem to be wondering if you'd like to tell them about yourself

In these days of equal opportunity, I guess us middle aged gentlemen should take note also.

It is possible we could easily be kidnapped by 18 year blondes (doug the slug avatar lookalikes). They could take us away and have their way with us despite our protests.

Thanks for the timely warning Al.

Woodborer,
Didn't that ever happen to you in Sydney. You ought to have driven in Torquay.

If he stopped wearing them leather pants with the bum cheeks cut out, he would be ok.

from my karate days i can tell you that there's karate and then there's dancing called karate. people can get black belts in either. karate black belts generally take several years of hard training and dedication but ballet dancing ones are handed out like lollies because the instructors (i dare not call them their preferred title of sensei in defference to a well respected forum member) receive a grading fee from every student they promote.

Yeah, there is also the kind where you have touch contact karate for competition. It is full speed, but every strike stops at touch. It is supposed to be very difficult to master, but also very impressive to watch. The problem is a mate of a mate did this and got into a fight in a pub. His training kicked in a he did a string of moves that had the other guy absolutely baffled. He hit him about 10 times before he knew what was happening. Problem was, each hit was only a touch. When the other guy realised he was still standing, he simply punched the guy doing martial arts in the head - only this was just a touch...

Thus, I am very suspicious of certain martial arts. Mind you, they guy who told me about this did Viet Vo Dao and if you saw what they did to each other - you'd wonder if it was legal. I think that a certain moving starring Ed Norton and Brad Pitt comes to mind...
