GT0,
Well, I don't mind that you lost the match. I do hope you did not lose a tooth.
I just wonder what you will tell people when you lose to me in the Galactic Bash.

'Tig, I'm tempted to keep arguing but I think the rest of the forum is sick of it, so we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Take it out on me when we meet up on PBW

I've been practising shotokan for about 5 or 6 years now. I've had various periods when I was either not training at all or training and not grading, so I'm only 8th kyu.

El Scoffo, may be you are right. I am sure the north americans and europeans on this forum didn't even see Brass Eye. Pity, I do love a good argument and at least you have admitted that you eat poo and lick your own genitalia

I am 3rd kyu but havn't had time to go any further really. The ranking annoys me a bit and I think Shotkan karate types are absolute snobs when it comes to belts, gi and stuff. I want to do more kickboxing as it is a better workout and probably more use when I finally come face to face with Gryphin!!

Gryphin, I lost half a tooth (seriously) from a rather nasty punch to my jaw whilst my head was being ground into the mat by his foot. I go to the dentist this evening. I can honestly say that I am black and blue and red and feel like I have been in a sumo match with a particarily huge sumo wrestler who didnt get his lunch. I was well and truly outclassed, outmatched and thrashed. Decent bloke tho my oppo as he did by me a couple of beers to compensate.

*sigh*, you have to have the Last word, don't you? I admitted nothing (and I have nothing to admit). Ah well.

I've heard that high up in most of the UK Karate organisations, snobbery and lame politics are rife- I have met plenty of ppl who've got to their 2nd or 3rd Dan and become so dissillusioned with all the *****ing and backstabbing that they have moved away from karate altogether.

I've been lucky, because although I've trained at loads of different clubs as I've moved around, I've always been able to find at least one sensei who just wants to teach good karate, without any of that crap getting in the way.

I'm not really qualified to start on about the comparative merits of different martial arts (and it's one of those discussions that usually degenerates into farcical stories about who's hardest) but I'm surprised to hear you say that- I'd have thought Shotokan would be far more useful IRL than kick boxing, and a better all-round workout, too.

And the moral of the story? If you like your face the way it is, don't do full contact karate. I've never met a full contact person with all their own teeth.

As GT once but it. Of course! If everything else fails, our Last words are: "Here is your bill."

Yes stinky breath

It is true, very true, karate is just like any other office organisation and full of backstabbers and brown nosers - really annoys me as this is meant to be a hobby

it's one of those discussions that usually degenerates into farcical stories about who's hardest)

that is definately the ex-Royal Marine

I'd have thought Shotokan would be far more useful IRL than kick boxing, and a better all-round workout, too.

not sure, I feel Shotokan spends far too much time copncentrating on kata and not enough on power combinations and defence mitts

If you like your face the way it is, don't do full contact karate.

Yep, unfortunately, no-one else like my face either
