Hey guys, I thought id finally clue u into why i dissapeared adn the suddenly reappeared about 2 weeks ago and such. Well, as some of you know ive been training for the 2009 Tae Kwon Do nationals in Branson for quite some time. I took 3 golds in all the normal events (Forums, point sparring [light contact but vry fast paced *endurance needed*], and olympic sparring [full contact]) i was then invited by a blue belt i had previously fought (and won against) to compete in olympic tag team sparring. We went up against 7 other groups of black belts and lost in the gold medal round 2 a 4th degree black belt so we took silver. So it went well and heres some pics.

*My medals*


During this year, i competed adn won alot (out of 8 tournaments i took 18 golds 5 silvers and 2 bronze [never coming below third place]). And by doing this I managed to make myself the highest ranking fighter/competetor in my organization (now this doesn't mean i ''am'' the best fighter, but i am pretty good ^^ i know) so this is kind of a special deal to get


*my proof [lulz like id actually let u see my real name lol!]*

So there u have it, nationals went pretty well imo. O and the reason that i wrote that rather depressing absence/leaves post.. well lets jsut say some1 else got cocky with me.. i lost my rather usual controlled temper... and we sued with the hospital bill.... grounding was involved...... bad ordeal D: but u know hey.....

CONGRATZ!!! Ur like teh most ninja person i kno!

Ninja - a person skilled in [ninjutsu], a Japanese martial art characterized by stealthy movement and camouflage [Japanese]

Ninja - a member of the ninja who were trained in martial arts and hired for espionage or sabotage or assassinations; a person skilled in ninjutsu

I love Tae Kwon-Do, but it is a sport. Like fotball, it got their advantages such as accuracy, speed and power... However, all hard physical training and technique you learn in Tae Kwon-Do will fade with age. Ninjutsu does not.

I am only posting this because I feel people should be more aware of true Ninjutsu martial art. Not the kind you see in movies.

If you are interested learning how to potentially fight and beat your attackers, train Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu. Google to find your local dojo!

Lurv u aki but ur wrong on several points.
1) Tae Kwon Do is not a sport, this is just the competition part, we do much more than this ^^
2)I'm already a ninja who has mastered ninjitsu i see not the point in practicing it more ^^
3) Tae Kwon Do is only a little younger than karate and ninjitsu considering they were developed after they tried to invade china and encountered the less effective martial art, Kung Fu, and the more effective style of chinese boxing, and than ninjitsu came around as a defense for ''peasents'' during the time (i believe >.< might b wrong here) against samurai and although is kick-but, was never encorparated into an army (except of course the army of ninjas) o and btw i have studied ninjitsu and jujitsu with my grandma whos a blackbelt in both who is from japan ^^
4) Idk if uve takin Tae Kwon Do, but most ppl arent taught the offensive way 2 fight, I could break any limb in ur body with a single kick, I know an old korean war sargeant who was taught the offensive style of Tae Kwon Do who could rip your face appart with 3 fingers (he shown me how but its a lot more difficult than ud think)
.... i type 2 much >.>

*edit* What was here wasnt very nice :( sry aki, I know u prob didn't mean to come off as insulting ^^ but next time try not to make it sound liek ur saying ''You fighting style is only for movies it sucks and it will fade!!'' plz?
