^^Someone better alert the guys at Nova Uniao that one of their blackbelts is getting worked by a TKD grappler. That guy has some balls putting that gi on the cover. Is that real? If so, I am going to post that on teh grappling forum, someone will take offense and contact the guy, guaranteed.

Someone needs to tell them It's Frankie Edgar, too.

I'd like to see the book.

At first I assumed that the TKD guy had studied BJJ or Judo, but it's not listed anywhere on is bio on Amazon. So I bet that the grappling in the book are basically hapkido techniques.

BOL.

How is it fradulent? Maybe he really trains with a Nova Uniao BB.

And kicks his ass.

Yeah, I am going to do it tomorrow. I will link it up. I have been posting over there for 6 or 7 years though, I am going to have to post it and just reate see if anyone cares, no one is going to believe me if I try to troll them. I think it is sort of funny, but also a little fraudulent to dress his throwing dummy up as a NU bb. Some brazilians will kill you over that.

Scientist, if you post that shit link it up here.

[SPX]

Y'all are funny.

I wish we could see more grappling in TKD. In ITF TKD there is some taught in the self-defense curriculum (not originally in the curriculum, but later brought in from hapkido from what I've heard).

Be sure to post from the stance of a TKD enthusiast insisting that TKD grapplers > BJJ grapplers.

[MMA_scientist]

Thx. I am going to post that and see if anyone challenges him to a fight.

It's as deadly as kung fu!

Ninja threat level is always inversely related to the number of ninjas though. If you're fighting 100 ninjas, you can kick all their asses one at a time, but if you're up against just one ninja, you know he's a total badass and you're fucked.

That is absolutely true!

In fact, in Revenge of the Ninja, Sho Kosugi says, "Only a ninja can kill a ninja!" The conscientious viewer will notice he doesn't say, "Only a ninja can kill ninjas!"

[Svino]

In any case, this one definitely looks better than the first. But more ninjas usually = better movie. There's a direct ninja-to-awesomeness correlation.

Why did you decide against the HP pad?

Nothing in particular, I just liked the look and feel and interface of the nook. Plus it comes with like 1000 free magazines and books, which has been nice. Mainly I wanted a tablet that was fast, had an SD card for expansion and photos, and had a responisve touchscreen. The Nook was the only one that had all 3 in my price range.

I really like it, and I am pretty happy about the decision.
