You don't understand Shotokan or martial arts Curtis. Go practice it for 3 or 4 years, 5 or 6 hard and heafty sessions a week, then get back to me. Then you will understand better what a martial art really is and how those competitions cannot possibly test what it is designed for. It is designed SPECIFICALLY to block and then kill on the second blow, third blow on a bad day. Get it yet. That's it. Its not designed for TV ratings bullshit. What you are talking about is like racing a race car against a bicycle, only the race car has no gas in it. Come back in 4 years when you have studied the topic properly. > I enjoyed having this manly man conversation over beer nuts with you > Off. I'm starting to "get" you a little better.

You sound more like 'Dylan' from the children's cartoon the Magic Roundabout, but you yanks won't know that. He's the scruffy hippy dude that hangs out under a tree smking dope and playin' geetar. In closing: HAAAAYyyyaaaaaaAAAA ! Ooowwwwoooooooooeeeeeeeoooooo....... (Shotakan never EVER make noises like those, I was just playin' cartoon karate wit' ya.) OffWorld
