I am, but will be getting a ride to catch my flight. Departing @ 6:55 Thursday morning and get to Miami @ 8:05pm. Are you guys planning on meeting up somewhere when you get there? Guess I should check the PDX thread.

Awww...wish I had wedding pics with my Scion...but I got married before the Scion came out. :-(
I love tae kwon do, but I want to start some Hapkido also...it can be repetative at times.

Just out of curiosity, the big rumor with Muay Thai is the repetitive kicking of very solid objects (rope-wrapped posts, cement, etc.) to strengthen the shins and legs. How true is this, or is it more movie-based BS? I know in BJJ we played Knock-Bone (take-down practice) on the concrete which hurt like a b#$%@, I couldn't imagine repetitively striking a post at full tilt. Ouch!
...my apologies for the thread-jacking.
and for the question about conditioning our shins at our gym we kick a special bag full of sand.. it hurt like hell at first it felt like kicking a bag of bricks...i bled alot...haha
...only one of the greatest fighter training camps in the WORLD!!!TKD does get repetitive. So did Karate. I did Shorin Ryu and Shen Nigiri Karate for a few years, but when it got boring and was no longer any fun, I stopped going. Aikido was pretty fun for the short time I got to do it. The instructor had me assisting with the women's self defense class, which really showed the true power of Aikido. TKD and Karate were very power-oriented, i.e. the strong survive. But Aikido was control. The same can be said for BJJ, although strength does have tremendous advantages in BJJ as well.
As a competitive kickboxer, are you thinking of broadening your training and going to something like UFC? Dude, that would be really cool!

I love UFC....anyone watching the fights tonight?
I obviously can't be UFC because I'm a woman, but I do want to have my black belt in a couple different types of martial arts....I love it, it is my stress relief every day!

I'll be checking it out for sure, but the one I'm anxious to see is Dec. 30th!!! Iceman and Tito... I don't think it will last too long though. Ortiz will shoot for a takedown and Liddell will catch him with an uppercut to the jaw and then beat him into oblivion!

Being a Defensive Enforcer for most of my life in hockey I will just stick to fighting on skates! I can say though pulling the guys shirt over his head during a bar fight and pummeling is a blast!

Try some grappling. When someone works inside and goes for body shots, clinch them in, lock their arms to the outside, swing your leg to the outside of theirs, bringing your foot back between their legs. Lean your weight over that leg and forward, pulling your leg on that side inward. This will push their weight and yours onto one leg. You can buckle that leg at any time just by pulling it inward with yours. They will drop to the ground on their back or side with you in a half-guard position. From this position, you can go for your choice of submissions.

Yes the fight on the 30th is going to kick much booty!
I can't wait! Did you see the last pay per view fight when St. Piere kicked Matt Hughes butt? I love St. Pierre...and my other favorites are Franklin and Swick!
