I wonder what percentage of our mailing list does
martial arts, and which kinds...It'd be kinda
interesting if we could do some sort of poll (not on
the ML, it'd be too confusing).

Anyway, my take is that kendo IS a martial art,
technically. Plus, when i was taking my driver's
training course, I learned that like the 3rd or 4th
most common road rage weapon is a SWORD....!??!?
That's kinda scary if you ask me.

The Art of War...good book, but it's kind of hard to
read. That's probably why I forgot what's in
it..ehehe. Also, I've probably already said this, but
the Book of Five Rings is excellent, too.

I personally don't like using weapons, though.

OK, here's the 411 (that how the saying works?"):

Name: Wetnose
Age: 15.5
Sex: Male
Height: 5'6"
Martial arts currently somewhat practicing/looking at:
Taekwondo, Tung Soo Do, Jujitsu, Wing Chun, Tai Chi,
overall wushu (for fitness), Jeet Kune Do

Any of you have this little problem when sparring? I
always seem to never be able to get past someone's
defense. When you do, they just turn around and kick
you somewhere. It's like your opponent is always too
fast or something. Arrgh....
