Talking martial artists profiles

thinking about putting profile page of my friends, training partners, and like minded martialists on my website...including pics, accomplishments, history, and training info with each profile, maybe once a month just trying to give ma'ists exposure on the web and create a portal for other wise overlooked talent....any one interested in exposure and self promos?

Sure.

I started off playing Mortal Kombat at the age of 14, believing that real fights took place the way they did on the arcade screen...yeah, I copied Liu Kang's moves and created my own style. Then I evolved to Street Fighter 2, Mike Tyson's Punch-out etc.

Damn, I was trainin' hard...

At the impressionable age of 20, I studied Tae bo for a few weeks with Chesty La Rue by video...although, I don't recall actually learning any Tae bo from her.....Impressed with my plethora of new fighting skills, I decided to test them out against other dudes who played arcade games.

My signature move....the wind-up, haymaker - I wind up about 5-feet away from my opponent, then sort of spin around and use all of my shoulder and arm into one huge haymaker.

That's right - shoulder AND arm! I usually set it up with some moves that are too deadly for the ring, like telling the dude that there's a cop standing behind him. If it misses, I add some curse words, stomping, football punt kicks etc.

I found out using my shoulder and arm wasn't enough to KO my opponents...it kind of just made that smacking noise and they staggered a bit with a puzzled look, so I went on a weight gain program of Mc Donalds and bad ass Cajun Cookin' where I packed on a good 90-lbs in two and a half months...hey, you gotta work smarter, not harder. We gotta have results yesterday!

I now stand proudly over each KO victory, knowing that a 100-lb weight advantage pays off and am a member of a deadly, martial arts demonstration team (see last guy in vid)



PS - I'm just kidding
