HUG TORNADO!!! :D lol

Love the name and I especially loved the story when you used it. I think that's the first time I've seen a picture of you in your training gear. Very cool. Can't explain it but there's something sexy about a training flushed girl in a dogi... ;P Awesome work, keep it up.

Lol, it's called Hug because of the guy who invented it, some super kickass Swiss Kyokushin fighter. :D

Thanks for the kind words! Before we met, I posted a picture of my orange belt.. http://starkodama.livejournal.com/503527.html At the time I thought it was really cool, but blue is defiitely cooler than orange. ^^

Looking rad in your blue belt! Definitely use the Hug Tornado, I want to hear stories about you knocking some brown belt in the liver at the tournament and winning with GAIJIN POWER

Dumb questions regarding uniform asuelif March 25 2006, 00:18:46 UTC

1. Do you wear a t-shirt or something underneath your uniform? Or just a sports bra?
2. Is it heavy?
3. Does it ever come undone while fighting?

And way to go on the liver kick. :D

Not dumb at all! Yeah, I always wear a tanktop + sports bra underneath because the jacket comes undone quite often. Every few minutes Sensei tells us to fix our uniforms because it's just a fact of life that it gets messed up as you move, the jacket comes open and the belt knot comes loose. The pants are pretty light but the jacket is heavy, especially when wet. It's stiff so it makes a satisfying swoosh when you move. =D

Opposing the weekly weather.

AWESOME.

I'm still laughing over here! XD

One old dude wrote "I oppose the Rolling Stones and support the Beatles" :OO Still another was "I support recycling." Is that a controversial issue?! Does anyone actually OPPOSE recycling?!

I think you could definitely hold that one up as another 'facet of English/Western teaching that breaks Japanese brains'. XDDDD Wow.
