What would you name your style if you created one? Based on combining the experience in the various arts you have plus whatever else you have learned.

"Brian S.- Fighting Method."

"Uni-te, uni do, or uni ryu,lol"

Well I've tried this two times.

When I began teaching Isshinryu I choose to call my program 'Bushi No Te Isshinryu' choosing the Funakoshi older term for karate. Later I was in a group called 'Bushi No Te'.

When I trained with Ernest Rothrock and was studying Tai Chi Chaun, Northern Shaolin, Northern Mantis and Northern Eagle Claw I playfully named my studies 'Northern Tai Eagle'. Even made the two of us T-shirts with the name.

Any relation to Cynthia? If so, did you meet her? If so, was she a hot as she looked in China O'Brien?

Cynthia is his ex-wife.

I first competed against her when I was a brown belt and the only weapons division was mixed rank. I then began study of Yang Tai Chi Chaun with Ernest and later the study of other systems to become a fair judge. At times I would give Cynthia a lift home from tournaments, and remember even judging her one time (I believe I gave her a 10 for her performance).

Later she went on the national circuit and then divorced Ernset, but kept the name.

Because of many issues I will not offer personal observations on Cynthia. She was a talented technician in the early to mid 80's, there after moving on to the movies.

But remember movies are not reality.

My wife warned me when I first met her that she was a grandmaster in an ancient Sicilian martial art practiced for over 2000 years by ordinary housewives. It's called throwing boiling water. I never tested her.

Connected with BR's wife's secret training, something I learned not to mention to my wife when she had a "fix it" request: The fine art of No-Kan-do.....

My wife started training very shortly after I did. With her phys ed background she learned Isshinryu faster than anyone I've ever seen. (Her volleyball league was much tougher contact than any full contact karate match.). She trained or didn't as her schedule allowed. Eventually she taught alongside me for 10 years, then got involved with soccer and ended up on the NH Soccer committee for 5 years.

18 years ago she took a 9 month seminar on tai chi and Chin Na with Dr. Yang Jwing Ming. When she got home from her chin na practices she'd practice on me asking me to grab her.

You have no idea what pain the finger chin na can do until you're on the receiving end. Totally unreal.

But her true self defense skills (often used in the teaching career for special needs adults) came from her Water Safety instructor back in high school. He was a WWII combat vet and taught lifeguarding from the approach they're trying to kill you and you have to deal with that before you you can save them.

My wife doesn't need style names, she's just plain tough when she needs to be......

Ouch!

The idea is that when accosted by a mugger, you fling off a dull coloured coat to reveal a mismatch of colours so bright, so horrible, that they simply stand aghast at you dress sense. This often leads to them giving you money out of pity for a new wardrobe.

Discojutsu. The art and science of boogy.
"Through analysis of thousands of recorded dances, the Discojutsuka has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists on any dance floor is a statistically-predictable element. The Discojutsu Kata treats the dancer as a total package, each fluid position representing a maximum boogy zone, inflicting funkifacation on the maximum number of other dancers, while keeping the DJ practitioner clear of the statistically-traditional trajectories of other dancers enabling them to move across the dance floor with ease and extra coolness. By the rote mastery of this art, your dancing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increased dancing proficiency makes the master of the Discojutsu a dancer not to be taken lightly.
With apologies to the genius Kurt Wimmer and the movie Equilibrium.

Victors quote - My wife doesn't need style names, she's just plain tough when she needs to be......


If the term Master means performing amazing feats and enduring things that man finds impossible. My wife is a Master of mircles, as a matter of fact most women are.

I experience a tramatic even along with my wife I was almost taken out, I almost lost it. It was one of the most painful and bloodiest events of my life to watch, just the memory of it brings back shear agony and nightmears if it was I in those striups,instead of. I know I would die and not survive menatlly or physical. This mind bloogling event of actually watching someone body being torn in half. I was a eye witness to this, it was very humblingly.

I know that no man, no matter how tough could survive this and live or even walk again. I was only 24 yrs old when I witness this and I was almost TKO'd sitting there with the Doctor catching my oldest son during child birth.

Women are some tough miraculous, loving and almost Terminator II machines, they can be torn open and healed back up.

And still they want to love you 3 to 6 months later. If someone help do that to me, I'd never forgive them and be crazy after enduring that pain and probably dead.

I bow down to there superior physical and mental make up, when it comes to handling pain.

My style is the style of fighting w/o fainting.

You made me look kune do.

Hello Soke Brian:

Been thinking of it for a while now, what to call "it" that won't give away my ~true~ ulterior intentions. What would I call a newly invented style...

Are you seeking mischief here or an earnest name?

Dobbersky-Ryu (I though of KenDo but its already been used) will comence from March 08. All you need is the T-shirt and the photos, and a few postcards to master the art. Oh and a few videos too.

I have to chuckle at some of the names. Sei do Kan, Ken Shin Do and a few others are popular and most are not related in any way shape or form to each other.
