Did I do it?

[Bob Hubbard]

Actually, when we think someones trying to 'cheet', we usually will just remove the 'cheeter posts'.


Course, if they do it alot..... I reset their post count to - 20,000 and make em spend a few years as a white belt....

Sorry Kaith, just trying to be funny.

Randy,
Is that near Columbus?

Ok, I'm a TitMouse when it comes to posting. Finger supplements here we come.

 

[cali_tkdbruin]

I still have a ways to go to get my Masters but every little bit (like this post) helps.

About 40 minutes south of Columbus on 23, about 1 hour (or so) east of Dayton on 35.

I know. No worries.

Randy,
I remember there is a lot of TKD in Dayton. Are there any other arts trying to take over?

Hey Cali,
In TKD did your school teach you to throw the kick low then high, or reverse, and what reason do you find for either combo?

I thought the same thing when I recently became blue... just realized at the time MT surely isn't run on kenpo standard time.

It could be worse -- it could be like BJJ, and we'd all still be white belts!

 

[arnisador]

Heh. Yes, it's lucky we don't use a BJJ scale--I might be a blue belt!

I don't get over that way much, but from what I hear, TKD is still going strong. Ninjutsu seems to be getting a stronger hold, with Bujinkan, Jinenkan, and Quest Center schools. I've also heard that a big trend is toward "multiple arts" schools, giving the prospective student a selection of many arts in which to train. Of course, this is probably true throughout the nation, as Ohio IS the Great American State . Still, I suspect some of the best training is taking place in garages, basements, and back yards.

 

[arnisador]

Dayton is associated with Ninjutsu and with Wing Chun (the Wing Chun Musuem there). The connections have been discussed in those fora, e.g.:

Yeah, exactly.

I think I would have about 2 more years to sit at white.:shrug:

I'm sure it is. The garages are to put up your n*** and train hard.:asian:

I remember Stephan Hayes was in dayton, but thought his ninja stuff was folding like an old news paper, or perhaps that just some ninja trick to fool us?

 

[arnisador]

He changed from ninjutsu to To Shin Do/Quest Centers, his own art. See:
http://www.skhquest.com/

or search the Ninjutsu forum here.

 

[don bohrer]

Yeah what I thought... a buncha ninjas hiding in plan sight!

Daytons a big city, and looks as if Mr. Hayes has sold out!

I have an old book with him speaking on ninjitsu back in the 80s. At that time I believe his heart was in it. I wonder if mass media had anything to do with his change or was it a parting from his instructor? Sometime later I have to read his bio.

We have a ninja forum? Damn, there good I never knew it.

Thanks for the links

Don,
My Sabumnin teaches us a lot of TKD stuff, but I have a low retention span, so not too much sticks in my knucklehead...

I just throw kicks
