The same with our family...we all did Shotokan together, I smacked myself to death with nunchucku, and we had lots of fun "sparring" together as kids. Rolleyes

THEN we became fundys and it all changed.... Angry

Well, I have all your equipment in my locker. You should probably come get it cause I can't fit my numchucks in there anymore.

Shotokan rules! My fundy family (dad and two sibs) and I am getting back into it after a 15 year hiatus. Our MA activity was always tolerated, even used the gym to train for a bit.

That's interesting that they didn't preach at you because of it. They started telling us how all the religious aspect of MA was so evil...even though our sensei was a Christian and didn't even participate in the religious aspect of it. Dodgy

Whoa. WHOA. Ok, is it just me, or does he look like a redneck Dwight Schrute?

I have always had a deep, dark desire to choke out a Fundy MoG...never knew there was one who'd step up to the plate! Must research his travel schedule...

Oh, and I'm good with a ground-n-pound too...I don't want to limit myself. :biggrin:

You get 'em state-side and I'll get 'em overseas. If any of 'em get past my guys then we'll hand 'em off to you and your guys. Cool
