RisenPhoenix Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 New Challenge, and Purdy new Courtyard. You're all allowed to talk about whatever you want in here. Except for SevenFootGeek. Because he's an impatient jerkface. 2 Quote RisenPhoenix, the Entish Aikidoka Challenge: RisenPhoenix Turns to Ash "The essence of koryu [...is] you offer your loyalty to something that you choose to regard as greater than yourself so that you will, someday, be able to offer service to something that truly is transcendent." ~ Ellis Amdur, Old School Link to post

SevenFootGeek Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Monks, your assistance is needed! I cannot remember and cannot find the awesome monk who trains Jedi lightsabre forms. There is a level 1 Rebel who is looking into his local Jedi sparring group and it simply cannot be borne that these two people are not brought together. So, find PolishRifle and our unnamed monk! More monks is more awesome! 1 Quote Half-Giant Monk current challenge "Promote yourself, but do not demote another." Yisroel Salanter Link to post

Or so I've been told. 3 Quote RisenPhoenix, the Entish Aikidoka Challenge: RisenPhoenix Turns to Ash "The essence of koryu [...is] you offer your loyalty to something that you choose to regard as greater than yourself so that you will, someday, be able to offer service to something that truly is transcendent." ~ Ellis Amdur, Old School Link to post

RisenPhoenix Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 You don't scare me. You harassed Kishi constantly. You deserve it. Oi! I only harassed him after I had done 7-8 challenges and had been around for a long while! You know how long it took me to build myself up to that harassment, buddy?!

SevenFootGeek Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 We have a definite slant towards eastern martial arts. But fencing and HEMA (and probably more that I'm unaware of) are totally in our bailiwick, too. There is a fine level 1 Rebel by the name of Jbwraith learning fencing from the son of a WW2 cavalryman, which is pretty darned amazing if you ask me. 2 Quote Half-Giant Monk current challenge "Promote yourself, but do not demote another."

Oramac Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Ormac. I shot him a message. Message received! Y'all are quick. I hadn't even realized the new Challenge subforum had been created yet! We have a definite slant towards eastern martial arts.

TPLA actually has one of the Masters who's discipline is Fencing. I'll hop on over and say hi!

SevenFootGeek Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I swear this is the last one today and I'll finish my own challenge. A young jiu jitsu practitioner has started in the level 1 Rebels. He goes by viki and he has a challenge near and dear to my own heart. Trying to do more push-ups is a noble goal and one I encourage heartily. Quote Half-Giant Monk current challenge "Promote yourself, but do not demote another." Yisroel Salanter Link to post

Thrillho Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 So I was going to make this challenge all about diet and cardio, and slowly working my way up to 45 minutes on high resistance on the fancy ellipticals they have at UNBC. But then this morning I bashed out 45 minutes on high resistance, so... I'm there already. Time to re-tool my goals and think of a challenge theme and... stuff. 1 Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well. There was aggression on both sides. Link to post

Oramac Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 We're definitely all mad around here. So I'm debating on whether or not to even participate in this challenge. The goals I've written up for myself are easily the hardest goals I've ever set forth, and only one is even fitness related! Not to mention I'm feeling a little burned out right now, and on top of that I'm going on a trip next week for the entire first week of the challenge. I know on the one hand I'm just making excuses, especially since the goals I set are going to be my next challenge no matter when I do it, but I still kinda feel like I need a break too.
