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 ![]()
