      Karate is feckin Karate to a layman like me.  No idea that there were different styles, and I would not recognise a Shodan or non-Shodan if it broke my nose.  But that matters not, I am sure I could mystify you about the intricacies of the different methods of fly fishing or cricket which are second nature to me…

          aha…fishing is fishing, aye?

          Yep it's about styles and that they do not recognize grades of each other automatically. This can also happen inside of one style but if you belong to a different organization.

          There are huge amount of styles.(lets say probably hundreds, if tiniest ones are taken in count too) Shortly, one can draw lineage from each to one of the 3 old Okinawan styles.

            Is the 3 inch punch a real thing?

              as in Kill Bill, I don't think so 😉

              Though it is certainly possible to hit very powerfully from a very short distance. Even from 3" distance. You just don't use only your hand but whole bodys momentum.

                  That one I would like to learn… 🙂 Only that it would be impossible to train that with live partner.

                      I saw this on top of the Schilthorn today.  Finn, did you put it there?

                              Echoing the awesomeness that is The Marketplace. A few items I've been waiting for have popped up in my size, a pretty uncommon occurrence.

                              Look and you might get lucky.

                                It's pretty much official… Thursday March 15 will be my first afternoon in the sun with a book. 16 C° and no work... Holy cow... So stoked... Reading material sorted... Still need to finish the one on the right, one on the left is the 2nd part of a 4-part series about Geeraert's work as a soldier in Belgian Kongo.

                                        Yup. Just sold a few items this AM and will be adding more shortly. I would always rather keep it in the "family" then ebay a item or post it on another forum if I can avoid it.

                                        Bagley, thank you for removing temptation from my life.

                                          this is it imo…and if you just have sold an item cuz you was in need of money you can even buy it back sometimes if you´re lucky enough!
