    the IT thing is too easy for me. i have been programming for a long time. the problem with shotokan is that it takes a long time to learn it and the stance is not very stable for street fighting. what i did was use the thai boxing stance and combine shoalin and tai-jutsu with it. also i learn shotkan & judo of my dad who did it for 15 years back in the days.

    I,m not knocking Shotokan but it was very military and like you said the stance a bit strange.I just could never understand how if you where in a club how the hell you would find enough room to use it.The kicks and spinning reverse kicks look the biz but practically when would you use them?

    I enjoy anything to do with the ocean surfing, diving. In the winter I head up to the local mountains to get in some climbing. I recently bought a yamaha r6 and leathers, so now when the water is too poluted I get my kiks dragging a knee around some curves. I also have a nice collection of firearms.

    Presently about the only hobby that I have outside of the gym is fishing. I have a B.S. degree in biology( enivironmental) with a minor in Chemistry. I am enrolled this fall to begin working on a Enivronmental Mangerment degree in Biology. I am still involved in personal training however that is also gym related.

    Hey Billy I'm small enough I can ride just about anything over 6', though I really like my 7'1''. It mostly depends on the surf.

    Hey Codzilla

    I have a 7 6" thruster which I use on big days which we don,t get many of! I also have a 9ft Long board Watercooled its an Ozzie import and she is a real nice board to ride.

    Do you see many twin finned fun boards around as they seem to becoming popular recently as well as the longboards making a comeback.

    Surfing its great feeling riding on the back of a wave!!

    Last year there seemed to be more than now. When the waves are decent size you don't see many. My roommate has one I can't wait to get in the water, but he's always on it.

    Hey Jeremy...up until this year I played both slo-pitch and fastpitch (whip) softball. If you ever want to screw up your swing try playing a double header of slo-pitch and then going to a fast pitch game 2 hours later.

    you know it's funny cause most people who lift come from sports backgrounds

    but I have grown up skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing. I also like to rockclimb, wakeboard, moutain bike, play the guitar. I played baseball till sophmore yr in high school, played 2 years of football, but I have always been more of a skater punk kid I guess you could say. I want to get into some kind of skilled fighting but I'm not sure what. I just want to learn to defend myself if push comes to shove. I have always enjoyed lifting weights though, and since getting a little older (23 going on 24) I just don't feel like getting hurt like I used to. So lifting has taken over, but I still skate, surf and snowboard just not as much as I used to. Any other skater's out there?

    studying economics as an undergrad at a state university. Not a huge fan of school but its practically mandatory in today's job market. During the summer my hobbies are wiffleball (believe it or not they have organized tournaments) and participating in fantasy baseball league's. My favorite thing to do during the winter has to be skiing. I'm surprised none of our neighbors up north didn't say skiing too. And all along I thought that was the only thing to do in Canada!
