Everstorm Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Bwahahaha!!!!! Thanks for the welcome. ​And for outing me. Wasn't sure how it would work since I'm not in classes yet, whether I should do a few rounds with the assassins in the meantime or just jump right over with mostly preparatory strength and flexibility goals. (Next challenge that is, I gotta stand by my scouts this round. They are awesome; just realized the sport is not what I really want to focus on.)

Thrillho Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I haven't ACTIVELY trained martial arts since joining this guild, but IN MY HEART I know what I am, what I want to do and what I want to be, and that's a Monk. So it's mostly been mobility and strength training. And I start Kaiten MMA September 3rd, at last The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to post
Everstorm Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks, Thrillho. That's kinda how I felt about it, too. Congrats on starting/resuming MMA next month! Any advice for an aspiring monk while I wait? Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to post
RisenPhoenix Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 What Thrillo said - if you feel like you want to train like a Martial Artist, then you definitely belong here. Early on I thought I was more of a Druid (especially since aikido is all about the flexible and lack-of-muscles-use), but the more I thought on it, the more I realized that I wanted the strength and the dexterity of a martial art guy, not the bendiness of a druid. So welcome! (Also, obligatory comments on 1) good name choice and 2) Wait, isn't there only supposed to be a single phoenix in most myths? ) Kidding aside, you're totally welcome to come check us out! It's a little hectic up in here right now, between challenge changes, lots o' monks, and the fact that one of our fearless leaders is such a great ninja that he done gone disappeared in a poof of smoke. But you're more than welcome here whenever you wanna be! I was thinking about that. Has anyone heard about the Shogun as of late?

Kishi Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 He's alive and posting about Doctor Who on Facebook, so he doesn't seem to be in a bad way. Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to post
