You missed that class eh! I think that is the highest level we have yet to attain. :p I think I will skip that one too. But seriously, it gives me the heebee geebees thinking about it.

BTW: Who did you train under? (If you don't mind me asking.)

Scandinavian roots. Taken from Hakkon (sp?) which I think means people of... and Tyr from the god of war Tyr. Used as a prefix in names but not as often as Thor was. So its just two merged into one. Not common nor probably not traditional over there. A sort of Americanized Old Norse/Old Icelandic name. But most just call me Tyr (pronounced "teer") for short. I only hear Tyrkon (pronounced "teer - khan") when I am in trouble. :eek::p

That's fresh. Gotta come up with something Arawaky for my son or daughter (if I ever have 'em).

cass magda, who trained under dan inosanto.
 
that video made my laugh Tyrkon, and your post as to the origin of your name answered many questions (Ie where did his name come from, and if he is from California why is he not tanner?).

It reminded me of a video I saw where this master with a katana was chopping veggies off his helpless students. He was doing ok, till the attempt at chopping a cucumber in half that was nestled in the crook of a student's neck (while lying on his back). OOps, cut the throat wide open, the student staggered off the stage holding his bleeding throat and passed out the second he was off the stage. The "katana master" tried to wipe the blood off his sword without any one noticing and go on with the show.
 
Well, the guy said he had done it successfuly at least a thousane times. Amazing he still has an arm. Phillipines must be a strange place. They crucify themselves at Easter time. DOn't they also shove stakes through themselves to signify their piety. IN this case the guy seemed to blame the camera. LUcky he didn't lose an arm

When my students ask me if I am a "white man" I say, "No, I am THE white man"! It's funny because my father is part (1/4th I think) Native American so he gets super brown. Reminds me of an old leather wallet. :p But not me. I think exposure to the Sun makes me lighter. :confused:

I saw that video you are talking about. That freaked me out. :eek: Imagine a Banned AK! :eek::eek:

My boy, more importantly Tyr stood for justice and righteousness.

Think about that for awhile. :)

I have trained with the live blade for over 15 years. Most from the FMA POV. But whatever the case I have developed a deeper respect for the blade as time goes by.

BTW: This thread is in no way a jab at any particular culture's beliefs or religion. But as a practitioner and teacher in the bladed arts for nearly 20 years there are just some things that still make me say "Why?".

oh, c'mon, haven't you ever been out drinking with your buddies:D

I stumbled on these guys by accident a while back. I was looking for anything to do with speaking Icelandic (I really want to learn) on youtube and they popped up. Surprisingly, I like most of their stuff and have all of their albums. They need some INFI in their vids! :thumbup::D It's wierd. I can't speak a word of Icelandic but it is a very comforting sound to hear the native tongue from your roots. I'll have to find a teacher or class sooner or later.

I don't speak a word of it either, but I've got phrase books for Scandinavian, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish and dutch :D like music, I have a love of language but have absolutely no skill with it :o

I'm slowly working through this one. I wish there was more female singers on it though. an entire cd of it would be on my replay playlist for months. The had an radio article from a blind gentlemen talking about his experiences and a book he wrote, and part of it involved an experience with his father in a finnish port, as the local women were washing and hanging clothes. they played a short accapella song that had me in tears.

Same here. Lots of books. I even tried a class on Norwegian once but the teacher barely spoke English and I couldn't make out the little he did. So...

One day.

With a Banned blade the material splits itself out of fear:D He wouldn't have stood a chance at first site of the blade.

So can I just hold my Banned AK up to my face and the hair will fall off? I'd get the closest shave ever and not have to do any work!

About the video... what can I say? I always trained in Budo arts and one of the first rules when dealing with bladed weapons is "don't get cut." But maybe this guy knows something I don't...?
