I don't think basskisser listens well enough to learn anything, I always
heard Patience, self discipline and a positive attitude was a prime
directive in most dojos. From the outbursts exhibited by Basskisser, it
appears he is lacking in both of those characteristics.

Karate (Japanese, “empty hand”), martial art of unarmed self-defense in
which directed or focused blows of the hands and feet, accompanied by
special breathing and shouts, are dealt from poised positions. More than a
method of combat, karate emphasizes self-discipline, positive attitude, and
high moral purpose.

Uh, want to find out? I'm sure, in your mind, just like anything
else,
you think you know more about the subject than anybody....try me!

There you go again.

No, Steve, there YOU go again. How would you have ANY idea what I know
about Karate? Please provide any evidence that you know anything about
ANY of my martial arts training.

When I said there you go again, I meant bragging and boasting about
something which is obvious from the way you post that you are
completely
deficient in.

Now, you're at it even again, bragging about your abilities in Karate
when all the evidence points to the fact that you don't know squate'
about it, or if you do know the principles, you don't how to apply
them.
Karate teaches more than just how to kick. It teaches self-discipline,
calmness, concentration, etiquette and many other things which you are
sorely lacking. People who have truly learned Karate don't come on the
internet threatening to snap other people's pencil necks because they
are frustrated that they've been proven an idiot, which you have done
several times.

Karate also teaches not to be bullied by pencil necks such as
yourself. It goes way back in evolution, and in Karate is called

Wrong. Karate does not teach threatening people who have not threatened
you first in any way, as you have done.

Parnong. It means, simply, to not appear weak, or the prey will be
there in droves to overtake you. Now, would you like to REALLY see who
knows more about Karate discipline? Calmness, by the way, is NOT a

Wrong. Calmness is a factor.

word, it is more like tradition.

Wrong. Karate is full of etiquette, including respecting your opponent.

In all, you are amazingingly childish. Here you are, actually trying
to act like you KNOW Karate, just because I mentioned it! Let's
compa
How much training in Karate have you had?
Your belt rank?
Years of training?
Years of study (reading, etc.)
Which Karate system are you an expert in?

If you knew anything about Karate, you would know it teaches you not to
brag about things like belt rank and years of training.

If you WERE trained in Karate, one of the first things you would NOT
do, is act like you are an expert on any subject that somebody
mentions.

Now we KNOW for sure you are obviously NOT trained in Karate, as you
have boasted, by your own standards. Because you try to act like an
expert on any subject that somebody mentions even though it's painfully
obvious you are not.
