25. I studied karate for several years till one day a judoka got a hold of me.
24. I then studied aikijutsu to develop my grappling skills. Now that I understand karate better I feel like I have come full circle.
23. In chemistry there is one fundamental truth everyone should observe - hot glass looks exactly like cold glass.
22. I love my kids! And I would do anything for them. I hope they never figure that out. :-)
21. I started my study of the martial arts because I wanted to be a hero like Bruce leeroy from the last dragon. I know, what a nerd.
20. I love the martial arts and every field that could possibly be related. Kinesiogy, physiology, etc.. I always have. So what degree did I get from college? Computers. Talk about the biggest duh moment in history.
19. Which leads me to a favorite quote: do something you love and you will never work a day in your life. - Samuel Clemens
18. Another good quote - aikido versus aikido breeds weakness and self deceit - toshishiro obata
17. I feel like we can substitute any martial art name in the quote above.
16. One more quote I really like is: choosing not to follow in the footsteps of the masters but rather seeking what they sought. - Matsu Basho
15. I aspire to be friends with all the people posting their 25 lists.
14. I have worked as a fight consultant on a feature film. It was great fun and I could see making a career out of something like that easy. I'll tell you when the film hits theaters.
13. I like seeing the light bulb moment on peoples faces when they understand how kata really work.
12. My son has a natural athletic ability and is great at the martial arts but would rather play soccer.
11. I love to read.
10. I am typing this whole list on my iPod touch. This is probably the best toy I have ever bought me.
9. I recently took a part time job as a bouncer to get better at reading people.
8. I wish something like the halodeck from star trek existed so that I could really use what I know in the martial arts without messing anyone up for real.
7. I have accomplished most of my bucket list from my childhood. I need to write a new one.
6. I have not consumed any soda for over 17 years. I stopped drinking it before a karate test years ago. Now the stuff upsets stomach.
5. I admit I have a weakness for chocolate.
4. I enjoy getting up in front of crowds. I took a public speaking class in college and was the first person to give his speeches every time.
3. My dad and I used to spar some. I still remember the surprise on his face when after a year of study in karate i was fast enough to get him back. (He was very fast)
2. I am constantly learning new things that make me re-evaluate everything I know about the martial arts. Some might find this irritating, I love it!
1. Next time what about asking 25 questions?
