    Dancing like any other art is an expression of the self, so you should understand that.

    I'd have thought a karateka would have an appreciation, what with the forms you guys have to do.

    I think I saw you demonstrate (unofficially) Bassai Dai at MAPmeet 2006. Does that count? :evil:

    Hardly. I haven't turned anyone into a drunk nor is it about a learning curve or acquired tastes. I just have a small talent for choosing beverages people will enjoy.

    Drinks (cocktails, wine, beer, soft-drinks, juices, etc.) are en integral part of what I'm doing. They improve it. For me: A game is better with beer. A celebration is better with champagne. Meat is better with wine. A cold night is better with a cognac and chocolate. Studying is better with mate. Mornings are better with an orange juice and a coffee. A great mood/food/drink pairing can be quite spectacular.

    Sometimes that drink is coke or juice, sometimes it isn't. Asado's (barbecue's), for instance, are a whole different experience with wine.

    That's what you think. Never injured myself doing kata. Last time I danced properly, I broke my leg and tore a few ligaments.

    I kid you not.

    Danced properly? Do you also do improper dancing?

    #crisco

    I think you need to expand on that story a bit. How on earth did you break a leg etc? Its a story we need to hear.

    the only thing i aim to physically express when i train my kata is homicide :p (plus, kata is not spontaneous physical expression, particularly when we go from the part where they are completely prearranged, not spontaneous :p. specific pieces of classical or representative dance would probably be a much better comparison).

    also, saying that i do capoeira is... a bit of a stretch, tbh :p

    I have head bobbing state, foot tapping, static daddy dancing and all out "hope everyone thinks I'm drunk flailing".

    Yes, I am side stepping the Crisco. Those stories are for non MAP ears :p.

    I was trying to entertain my baby boy, the ground was wet, my shoes had no grip, I did some kind of surreal hop onto one leg while doing jazz hands in an attempt to recreate a fantastic new move...and my foot went out from under me.

    I ended up with my leg twisted in some ghastly position behind me which I proceeded to land on and roll over post bounce.

    The worst bit? My boy didn't even smile.

    Some people are just impossible to please.

    Missed this when playing military games using military references....
    So I guess that is the goal of these games



    Or they state they did so many things, they did not rest good or had a hard time resting


    Strange. Some forms I have done was either to defend or beat someone to a pulp :eek:

    Those that carry are better than those who sneeze all over, including their hands and touch things :D
