Maybe I'm just out of touch, but I have to ask ... where does one find that particular magazine? I've never heard of it. I tried to google it and it seemingly has no presence on the Internet.

Yes, to anyone that isn't USSD.

Damn. I was going to point out that only one USSD instructor actually made it in, and there is more than one judge. I was also going to say I've seen the guy in action, and that he really impressed me. But I can't, because being USSD automatically makes me biased.

Can I say the same thing from the KFSS side of my martial arts life? How about from my "I've been pulverized into wisdom for the past four years by Asa Rainey's kid"" side? No? Oh well.

Josh, it's perfectly fine to say that you have found one person in the USSD that has impressed you. No problem as long as you remember that you've used up your one person. If you come up with another one, you might get this thread moved to the Horror Stories section.

Oh fine then. I'd hate that to happen. When my wife's a black belt, though, all bets are off.

I've seen him too. It's nice to know that he got that because he takes WuShu somewhere else that's outside USSD. Funny how you find out these things from outside sources...

Um, who is Asa Rainey? All I'm going to say about the KF side of USSD is that it's kempo-ized, and so is your taiji. That's it. If you need a more critical analysis of the KF side, you can PM me.
 
Asa Rainey is a Kenpo teacher. He is on the Ed parker family tree under Dave Hebler. He was originally promoted to black belt by Grandmaster Ed Parker in the early 70's and was promoted all the way up to 6th black by Mr. Parker prior to Mr. Parkers death. Asa Rainey is currently Ranked 8th degree kenpo black and he is my good friend, as well as my Kenpo teacher, for a long time now. As far as I know and have ever seen, he is one of the best practitioners and teachers of kenpo that there is. He still comes by my kenpo school from time to time and teaches my students. His kenpo flows smoothly and has an incredible amount of power when he wishes to apply it.

Thank you. I had no idea who he was. That's why I asked.

Just out of couriosity, does anybody else in the west coast wear a a gi color outside of red, black or white? I remember when that wasn't allowed.

The only exception I've seen to that is Professor Mattera. I like the gray/charcoal color. It denotes status without being very flashy.

GM Demasco wears various colors as well. However, gray is Prof. Mattera's special color, no others wear it.

Wow! DeMasco got a nice dye job on his hair there! Actually, if you look at the BB mag from this month, in DeMasco's article his patch is different.

Looks like I need to start subscribing to BB, I'll go pick one up at the local magazine rack. I've only seen him at a Black Belt Magazine seminar in 2005 and then on the China 2006 trip seminars. In a few years I'd love to be coloring my hair; but unfortunately, my hair is slowly falling out.

Regards,

Mike
