What animal are you?

For me I'd have to say part tiger and part snake. I'm strong like the tiger and I'm sneaky and deceptive like a snake and I go for vital areas to end the fight fast.

Well by the Zodiac I'm an iron monkey and pretty much live up that before I knew what it was lol. In fighting style, don't know which cheats like hell, and exploits strengths and weaknesses equally in a fight?

Oh so your a LARPer?

Jade, Gambatte is not a troll or a larper. Maybe you should review more of his post before you start throwing slurs around...especially considering your lack of post on the forum.

I have no idea what a LARPer is. You are treading on thin ice though with the name calling and accusations. I've been here a month less than you and I have over 500 posts. Most of which contain things benificial to the thread which they are in. I have no need to "troll" the forums to "promote" my school.

LARPER stands for Live Action Role Play. The reason for not so many posts here is because I've been posting over on The Dragon's List.

Why do you have to feed them? LOL I don't even know what a "Live Action Role Play" thing is either.

I'm just a martial arts instructor who likes to hang out with and talk to other martial artists. Unfortunatly, I don't really like to hang out in drama related places, so....I'll be going to other threads now.

It's fun for me bro it really is. You know who is a Larper though is Draven he does that all the time. I'm not even being a jerk he does it as part of his training. I'm sure it's more intense then battling goblins or what ever but still, total Larper!!!!

No problem bro. Glad I could help out. By the way, I was just joking about the trolling. No need to take it so personal. And next time someone calls you a troll or a larper remember this.....Sticks and stones may break my bones but whip and chains excite me.

Thats a great attempt at a recovery. I never get "mad" or even "upset" at things which are typed on the internet. It's a way to pass the time for me. Far too many ppl take it personal. However, when you personally attack me and say that I am only trying to promote my school....Thats a personal hit to me. Yes, I have my school on here, yes I try to promote my school everywehere I can, but no it's not the only reason I'm here. When you own you own school, you might understand. Off to work out guys! Laters!

Hey there Tri, I could consider you a LARPer to. I mean all the arguement/discussions that have involved because the professional MMA people do it. You almost have a fantasy football thing going lol.

At least we spar while we LARP, I mean the vampire kids don't really drink blood. Well except for those crazy kids from who killed and ate a few people way back when. I'll go play with my hob-goblins now lol

I taught for my Sifu for many years and now teach private lessons in Sil Lum Kung Fu and to small groups of 4 or less. I don't get on web sites and say that or that I charge $50.00 a month. That would be tacky of me. I also don't give my phone number (859-963-6983) out to my school, that too would be tacky. But hey, I'm a tacky kinda guy. What can I say.
