Grateful my dad's surgery went ok.

Grateful my wife and 3 kids are on their way home from a few days vacation. I miss them dearly.

This will sound lame... but I saw "Mick C." and my kneejerk reaction was, "I wonder how 'TheStewedOwl' is doing... dayum lost contact with him... I wonder if "Mick C." is him"? Nah, what are the odds?!?!?!"

Are you still on the UG? I sometimes check there but I've less time at work to surf around all the forums I used to visit regularly, mainly lurk here and hang at Ausgepicht's forum. If you have time, check Spladdle out.

And many moons ago when you sent me that BB JHR article, little did we know thatBB would make their 1st issue through their December 2004 issues available free via Google Books LOL

Very truly yours,

~sg

Grateful for hooking up with old friends whom I've lost contact with!

3 gif's I made. If they don't show up, please let me know. First 2 shows Shane in action. Last one is Shane just before round 2 looking at Brock.


3am... way past my bedtime. GN all.

Much respect for both Shane and Brock!

If only Shane paced himself IMO... he exploded on Brock and held nothing back. He was noticeably tired. Brock's corner mentioned it too.

Rooted for Shane to KO Brock, but IMO, Shane should've held back some, get better positioning and conserve energy and pick his spots when he had clear shot when he was on top.

Hope there's immediate rematch like BJ Penn x Frankie Edgar 2 and Lyoto x Shogun 2.

Woof Mick C.:

Welcome to the DB Forum!

Grateful for Johnny Hartman's music... he would've been 83 today.

Grateful to spend most of my day with my father.

Grateful at the excitement tonight's UFC Heavyweight Unification bout will present.

Grateful to be able to spend time with my children watching movies:

The original Karate Kid a few nights ago. A timeless classic.

Night before last, we watched the 1977 "The Hobbit". Last night, we started "Fellowship of the Ring", the Peter Jackson one and not the Ralph Bakshi version.

Good info on this thread. Thank you Guro Crafty and G M.

FYI, I edited my post with the realtime gif and added a gif that was slower.

Not dissing the Security Guy, but I've read/heard that Doormen/Bouncers say if their soft skills have not deescalated the situation and that they have to resort to hard skills then they didn't perform their duties well. Or maybe it was something Dalton/Patrick Swayze said in Road House lol



Done.

Grateful to be able to contribute in my own way.

Woof:


Testing a new pichost... kill 2 birds with 1 stone, make a gif while I'm testing this new pichost.

Grateful to have set a date/plans for this weekend -- it will be the first weekend of this year I will have a chance to train with my 2 training partners in the park.

Woof all:

I really am looking forward to this fight. In the UFC Fantasy League, I generally would vote for Brock Lesnar with the attitude of "he's so big, strong AND fast for his size, he would be tough to beat". But I am slowly but surely becoming a Shane Carwin fan. He showed me something when he took on Frank Mir.

I think if Carwin is able to keep it standing up, he has legit KO power and will test Lesnar's jaw. Push Lesnar to the cage and like he did with Mir, do it to Brock. Lesnar needs to take Shane down and do his G&P like he did to Mir.

My friend put it roughly this way, Shane has 5 5-min rounds to KO Brock. Even if Brock gets Shane on the ground, he probably won't get a sub and ref will stand them back up again.

no need for apologies. i was really out of it!

woof:

after coming back from this weekend's seminar with Guro Crafty, there is a time and place for, as he puts it, "Martial Arts and Crafts"... he's not downplaying the fancy looking techniques like wristlocks, stick chokes, etc, but IIRC the way it's trained.

look at the dos triques footwork matrix of DBMA. or the Kali Tudo, it will give you the angles to pull off the wristlocks, trapping, silat throws etc.

but wow at seagal training silva. hope i don't see "silva pulls out of fight with sonnon 'cos of broken wrist during training."

~sg

Woof Ryan,

Indeed, it was a great seminar. Able to cover a lot of material and Guro Crafty was able to break it down even for beginners like me to understand the details and more importantly, I retained a lot of it and will look forward to training it with my partners.

My apologies for not being able to chat more with you, I was really out of it the first day and really hungry after the seminar was over.

~sg

Grateful my wife understood my desire to learn from Guro Crafty directly given the opportunity.

Grateful for Guro Eddie Hunt/NYJJ for hosting this weekend's seminar.

Grateful to have met Ryan Gruhn (although at the time I introduced myself to him, I was really out of it after a long day and hungry and he was checking his emails).

Grateful to have trained material under Guro Crafty's watchful eye.

Grateful on the 2nd day of the seminar my partner was an advanced MAist.

Grateful one of my training partners was able to attend the seminar with me, so that we can work the material together better.

Grateful after a tough and tiring 2 days of training, coming home to my 3 children's homemade Father's Day cards.

grateful for my wife - she is the glue which holds our family together

RIP Frank Frazetta

GD,

exactly. working with her to get out of her shell.

thank you

woof Rachel:


belated congrats!

grateful that Rachel's 'studying' is over and landing the new job!


woof GD et al,

ack! daughter is too shy... apparently the "interview" was looking at group dynamics and how she would participate in group, and not 1-on-1 with teacher asking her q's... her shyness could've been her downfall. she was not accepted.

grateful for the rejection from that HS in giving my daughter focus on what to work on!

woof Rarick:

ah, i see that now. thx.

strange, i don't see Chad's votes for ufc 113. unless he didn't get a chance to get his votes in on time.

this ufc ran the gamut of outcomes... congrats to Shogun on KO victory! Alan Belcher with a slam to RNC. Daley with a cheap shot on Koscheck. Kimbo getting his leg chopped down by Mitrione. MacDonald with a broken leg!

very short window of opportunity yesterday. truly scary right now. agreed, worst is still not over, loads of fear out there.


i am grateful that Guro is in 60% cash!

grateful for the opportunities presented today by someone else's fat-fingers

grateful our oldest daughter has the potential to be smarter than me

grateful our 2nd daughter is blossoming into a young woman faster and faster with each passing day

grateful our son, only in 1st grade, is able to spell at 2nd grade to almost 3rd grade level.

passing on a joke:

A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates.
You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch .... You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.

The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids and are extremely good looking.
'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!

Truly ecstatically grateful that i found something i thought lost forever... in a moment of inspiration, i checked a jacket i didn't wear in ages and sure enough it was there!

Grateful for the feeling that finding something lost, like finding money, gives me also.

very very cool! congrats on successful seminar!

woof Guro,

very very cool!

Guro Kim Satterfield, i recall him... one of the mainstays of the now defunct Eskrima Digest.

Grateful for my oldest daughter having passed the entrance exam some months ago to one of the top 40 high schools in the US as ranked by US News & World Report.

Grateful that today she has a chance to interview at that school.

had a chance to upload to my own pichost



here's another one... this one is anderson x maia




props to the original gif makers.

woof Chad,

very strange, now i see your votes. but i don't see it for previous events.

thx on score, but it wasn't so good. the previous one with ufn 21-florian x gomi, i scored 200+, that was way better, close if not surpassing my first time trying ufc fantasy out... beginner's luck strikes again finally lol

~sg

woof majia,

site looks awesome, way better than my site. i will add a link to my site when i get a chance to sort out my home comp problems.

woof Karunamam:


no worries on dvd, i wouldn't know if i didn't asked, so i checked.

i am in no formal school. at the rate i'm going, i may not ever be in a formal school sadly.


And those are prices for the general public, we're charging students even less.  Since we're a university club, we don't have to worry about rent, and the instructors teach for free, so the students' dues can go directly to funding stuff like this.  BTW, they only pay $30 a semester, so it's $90 a year if they train in summer, too!

wow! dayum! cannot beat that.

sure, can you see my votes? i've not selected the option of 'hide votes from league'.

Guro,

i didn't have the sound on loud, didn't want to disturb wife and kids, but thought i heard it was a hot humid night in open air stadium or something? bj penn looked tired and as did silva after rd 3. very disappointing fights.

agreed on hughes x gracie, hughes didn't even setup his kicks with punches, just threw them and kept landing them. i think gracie was too 'task fixated' (forgive the slightly out of context usage) on getting a KO via his boxing punches which seem to have some success in landing.
