Another Perspective - Same Conclusions

[jfarnsworth]

Hey hey, Mr. Farnsworth good to hear from you!

Hey now, if you keep posting you just may get me out from lurking behind in the shadows . Nice to see you back on here.

I hate tournaments, and depending on how you count and who you believe, there are more 7th's than that.

Ummm, it was satire. I have only seen one list on Mr Whites site many years ago. Is there now more lists- nevermind apparently there are, my bad.

So are you really turning down my suggestion to participate in the Greatist Kenpo event ever? Hate can be a great motivater... (picture groucho marx raising eyebrows several times, but only with the correct timing signature)

OK I admit I used to. My favorite saying was, "Please to meet you youngman - I have a shotgun and a shovel, and I ain't afraid to use either one of them."

I've since softened my stance and just want them to mary someone with some bucks who won't beatemup, inspite of the temptation I know they're going to have.

Excellent saying, sir...
Mine is: "You're not allowed to date until your married"

Oh yeah, we'll have to trake some things apart and compare notes- been a long time. It will be fun. I'm even gonna put some web site thing up with some clips or maybe just U tube it- dunno yet. I guess well put up Mr. Raineys Version of 2 man set with me and my teacher. Gonna head up to Seattle May 2nd so shortly that version can be shared. Should a pm you but forgot how to.

Tell Asa I said to answer his phone.

My Pekiti Tirsia instructor (a NY court officer) has a colleague who would answer the door to meet any potential sutor with his gun clearly visible. He would then have the young man write his name on a thin label. Then he would peel the back off the label and wrap it around the shell of a 9mm bullet and put that on the mantle. Only then would he engage in conversation about curfew etc.

Seems reasonable to me if I had daughters.

Yes sir! Ya' know he calls you Sifu. That must be going waaaayyy back.

 

[Carol]

Yes sir! Ya' know he calls you Sifu. That must be going waaaayyy back.

Shhhh...stop reminding him

Yes, when he was actively training with me back in the mid- sixties, Ed Parker was in his Chinese Kenpo phase so "Sifu" was the order of the day. I can't honestly remember him calling me anything else.

We've talked recently but he stays pretty busy. Calls me when he's in town. I always know when its him because he always says, "Hello Sifu, how are you sir." He's still the humble gentleman I knew when he was actively studying with me. I'm still his Sifu. What a great guy.

 

[ChadWarner]

Shhhh...stop reminding him

Nope... first rule. Get the ol man all riled up. 2nd rule move the conversation to something you have a good understanding of. Then its queensbury rules- your on your own.

My teacher was down recently I and I showed him some video of Chuck Liddel... You see I study interesting people intensely. At first he said something like who is this guy? More or less disapproving but as he watched longer and longer he came to a similar conclusion. Mr. Rainey. Hence the term Hands of Ambiguity.

The first time I met my wife's father, he was literally standing on the back porch cleaning his shotgun. The funny thing is, this was just a coincidence. He didn't even know we were coming over. He's always working on his firearms, he does some very limited gunsmithing and a good deal of wood work on stocks. He would have been out there with a gun either way, but it's still a funny image I'll never forget. How unbelievably stereotypical.

Old shotokan instructor was also a cop and gun afficianado. Had an unbelievably gorgeous daughter with many male suitors. He made it a point to be either sharpening his katana or cleaning one of his many wicked looking guns when first dates showed up to call on his kid.

Current training partner has a couple of tweens that are gonna be heartbreakers in a coupla years. I ask him when they walk through the room with young mens eyes tracking, "You got your shotgun ready, right?" I think I'm gonna pass on Doc's greeting to him for future reference.

Old Jewish Curse: "May you have many beautiful daughters and great wealth". Both bring people to your home wanting something from you, and disturbing the peace.
