Courage isn't the lack of fear but rather believing in and doing what you know is right even though fear is present.

Im afraid i will have to kill you for mentioning that, William
To answer your question Bayne\kahonen: I practice Bushido - the ancient samuarai martial art. As well as karate and aikido styles it also involves sword, bokan and nunchaku. The acadamy at which I belong is quite strict on the Japanese way as the actual origins of the school itself were brought over by the current master from Japan where he was trained by his master. We have numerous items dating from centuries ago within the academy from when it was first formed. Anyway, Im waffling 
Oh and kahonen, you dark horse......if you start making origami red dragons, im runnin'!!!  |

Karate is like the exact opposite of bushido, because bushido (the way of the warrior) was designed for the samurai, and it deals with blade-wielding, where as karate (openhand) deals with well...unarmed strikes, generally... |

Firstly, I would like to welcome you here to Candlekeep, scribe Bayne . Secondly, I would like to apologise for any offense you may have taken either directly or indirectly with what I had said previously about the Martial Arts.
I was once involved in the martial arts practice several years ago, but financial difficulties at the time, prevented me from continuing my studies. I therefore had to leave the school (something I deeply regretted at the time), and pursue other less-expensive (at least here in this country) interests.
My opinion on the matter was obviously the result of what limited exposure I had to this exercise...had I had the opportunity to pursue my studies further, my opinion would no doubt be very different from what it is today.
Please, do not allow my limited opinion on the subject of the Martial Arts to colour your perception of the general opinion and/or feeling my fellow scribes here at Candlekeep may have about the Martial Arts.

Bayne,
I studied mostly Chinese styles,Northern Shaolin and Chinese Hawaiian Kenpo which was were Kenpo Karate came from.I tried some of the Karate studios after my training center was closed but It was not what I was used too since they used only light or no contact and It was geared towards sport instead of self-defence,The Chinese arts teach more circular attacks and blocks so I would have had to relearn
years of training that had become part of my style so I left the Martial Art world other than Practice of some of the exercises.I don't even remember all of the forms anymore. |

I would -NOT- do that. Well .... Maybe. If you have one of them cool car battery powered ones that go fast and you have to control them with that little joy stick thinggy on it's arm. That would be kinda fun....
Anyway heh. If she lets me, I could help Lina get to an earlier one. I have offered before. The offer is still up. |

all of those sports look cool actually.
i practiced French boxing, its between kick boxing and Regular Box
u can strike with feet but only some parts of them, its quite hard and don't always hurt since there are two ways to play: the first is the regular way, u strike until the other guy say "may i apologize to have thought i could steal your player's hand book?" and the second way is more difficult, u just have to touch the other on some parts of the body which give u points, if u strike too strongly, u lost. more u have points, the best u are.
actually, u don't always fight with feet, since u can also fight with fists exactly like American boxing. the true name is Savate, the street fight. |

I heard that karate (not to be confused with other martial arts) was created in Okinawa(sp?) as a means of self-defense against the Japanese. Wouldn't that make karate and bushido diametrically opposed?

Greetings all,
Firstly an apology for my prolonged absence - I have been popping in from time to time to read the new topics but have sadly not been posting for sometime. Anyhow now I have settled in here in the big city (London) I should be able to partake a little more often - there is an RPG group at my university that does FR but I have not had time to join yet...
On the Martial Arts discussion I'm a Krav Maga man myself - for those interested a good website to check out is www.krav-maga.org.uk where I train...anyhow back on topic - I am trying to get one of the coveted US work placements that my university organises over the summer, and if I do then GenCon will take place during it...whether I will be anywhere near it is another question but at least I'll be on the same Continent!!
Incidently if any of the UK based scribes are in my neck of the woods at all, feel free to drop me an email (as a student I am always on the lookout for free lunches ) |
It is knowledge that influences and equalizes the social condition of man; that gives to all, however different their political position, passions which are in common, and enjoyments which are universal.

That's ok, we're off-topic anyways, so why don't we veer back onto the path of that which is the Meeting. (dun dun dun).
So, Gencon...
I'll try to make it, hopefully I can, but the question is, how will we meet up? |

Yes Bayne Krav Maga did indeed originate in Israel - apparantely it's been taking off in the US over the past few years, and is now just starting in Europe/UK.
...and Sage I am planning to continue the Sea Adventure story ASAP...hopefully the release of the film "Master and Commander" will aid my inspiration - unfortunately I left the original script on my computer at home but aim to get it sometime soon...incidentally did ever get either of my emails about ideas for the title, or for information about "The Noble Order of the Radiant Heart"? |

| I was thinking we meet at the WOTC booth its usually right in the middle, easy to see and we could probably meet in the novel section. There is occasionally an author in there and usually not alot of people. |
Some believe there is something more after death, if you really want to find out... go kill yourself and stop pestering me. |

I never received your email about the 'Titles' for your story Alexis, but I have since changed my email address since your last visit. The new address is now located in my profile.
As for the 'Radiant Heart' email...well I did send you out a copy when you last requested it, but obviously you never received it. I think I still have the file saved somewhere, I'll see about sending out to you.

so who wants to
And then on to who's who in the Candlekeep martial arts world. Woosh! Talk about your thread highjacks! 
While I'm not a martial artist I aammmmmm.....

I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights

From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters
mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and
quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the

Sorry, just had to blow off some steam. Thank you for letting into your homes to waste your time.  |
