This thread brings back memories! My other half (also an ageing pom like me) always says 'are you off to ecky thump?' when I head for the dojo. Long live the black pud - which incidentally is really hard to get hold of here in Aus
Twere in't footills, eee, a knakered stagger from't chippy ah first saw't sign, sign twould mark my return t't art I left so many year ago. V Pud. Nar then, it may be as them as can't change wont, but for me, ah can take up tat of mah forbears (3 on em, anyroad) wi' pride and principle, and proudly stand, puddin in 'and, black braces ovah bleedin nipples twanged raw wi' combat, wieldin't mighty veggie black puddin! Ecky Thump! Mitch Plus it is wrapped in gold an I is bling, innit
What do you mean? This is a perfectly serious thread about the setting up a martial arts organisation. Ecky Thump is serious business. There's no humour here.
This can only mean the original initiation song from Scotland's last inductees:- [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-nvpU8sE7U"]The Goodies: Black Pudding Bertha on Shangalang - YouTube[/ame]
Shangalang was some crappy program in the 1970s - hosted by the Bay City Rollers (????????) I think its Derek Longmuir the drummer(?) introducing The Goodies. As we are in funky 70s mode (when fashion was about as bad as it ever got), another funky numba from the Goodies. Incidentally have to pay wee tributes to Bee Gees Robin Gibb and Donna Summer who sadly passed away recently.

I have climbed a thousand steps in my journey, meditated with the Grand Masters, sparred with 1000 black-puddings, chanted some daft words, fought off 1000 black-pudding knife wielding Ninjas; and earned my senior grade! Never managed this with shoe-do! So, some real stuff from the 70s, when rock was rock'n'roll, but probably unknown to most, Mr Johhny Winter covering the Stones Jumpin Jack Flash. Let's rock!

What, how dare you. We promote you to Ecky Thump Grand Master and already you talk of defection. I am disappointed.
