lol- i understand what you’re saying. The website also claims some of the lefties might also be classified as ambidexterous.

What I want is for Obammie the Commie to learn that he deserves nothing because he has really worked for nothing in his life.I second that, and as for the other stuff, you should hear what's said about him in my circles.

What a fool 0bama is being made to look like.
I think the entire world (led by the Chinese) is laughing at 0bama behind his back. Pretty soon it will be to his face.
Okay you Photo Shoppers, Produce some TKD Photos of 0bama for us!

Just plant the seeds of doubt in the general populace,
and this is the inevitable conclusion - the man didn’t earn the presidency, and he’s not qualified - he’s a fraud.

Even the color is right for the sissy-man.

It’s like Ted Baxter getting an honorary doctorate and wanting his co-workers to call him “Dr.”

...............I also saw many brown belts who were better than black belts but would not test and take the belt because their own personal standards wouldnt allow them to......... Interesting comments. I do not understand this one. What is it about their personal standards that did not allow them to take a black belt?
To: Irish Eyes
Usually, they performed as well physically as the black belts, but, during long journeys studying various martial arts (looking for the truest “way”), had set a much higher bar for themselves spiritually and in terms of self-discipline and self-control.
Believe me, I’ve seen black belts who were very good fighters but who had a ways to go regarding the spiritual side and self-control. And, as I said, many brown belts who were far beyond them because they had set the bar so high but still didn’t believe that they’d attained what they were seeking.
When you’ve been a black belt for a while, IF you continue your studies, you learn that black belt is really “mastery of the basics.” Now, don’t get me wrong, “Basics” is a loaded term, and, if you study a good system, you will learn a lot and be able to do a lot.
By “basics,” what you learn are the general principles that enable you to find your own way. And part of the “basics” is a certain level of self-mastery, humility, self-discipline. The point is that you can master the physical part far earlier than the spiritual part, but when you are ranked as black belt, you should have mastery over both the physical performance and the meditative/focus/spiritual aspect of the art, and from there, your journey is to combine them all harmoniously throughout your life.
To: Ghost of Philip Marlowe
Thank you SO much for the reply. I learned a lot, had no idea that there was so very much involved with the meditative/focus/spiritual aspect. It sounds as if it is fifty/fifty physical and mental.
