Welcome

As I see you come from Suffolk, have you popped over to www.scoobycity.co.uk yet? It's an East Anglian based Scooby site.

PS Welcome Kuk-Sool

Wecome to scoobynet sir

Yes I train under Don McKenzies watchful eye although nowhere near your level.....yet.

Regarding scooby's. You should be able to get a good selection of MY98's in your price range but if you can find or stretch an to an MY99 then go for it as Subaru made a lot of changes to the MY99 which really improved the car (especially the looks). My MY99 is currenly for sale at a fixed price of £8500 so you should be able to find one for under £8k if you sit tight. Insurance shouldn't be too bad, 21 seems to be the golden age these day. I turned 25 recently and it made very little to no difference!

And yours too kung-poo boy <mumble> slipper wearer

kuksool

Thanks for the welcome everyone.... so slipper boy how lonbg have you been doing kung fu

so saxo boy what are you paying for insurance then on your MY99 so are the uk ones just called impreza 2000turbos instead of WRX then

havent tried the east anglia site yet but will a litlle later

yesh uks are known as 2000 Turbo AWD`s

LG John

I think its about £900 a year for the cars as it is standard. It was about £1250 when I was running more power but I've put it back to standard to sell it. The UK models are called Turbo 2000. The classic shape imports were called WRX. Now it gets confusing because in 2001 they released the buyeye car (plates for headlights) and called that WRX - a name that hadn't previously been used in the UK. To make matter worse there is also WRX STI's. If I had my scooby time again I'd get a classic shaped import sti V but they insurance on those would probably be significantly steeper than on a UK.

Slipper boy lol

Packed it all in about 4 years ago now ... so I'm a big soft whimp now

Twas Lau Gar Kung Fu and couldn't rate it highly enough

Only wanted to learn how to fight and never planned on staying as long as I did.

Good luck with the car hunt

LG John

LOL, that makes you sound like such a bamstick. "I just wanted to learn how to batter better" For the record Sipie doesn't go patrolling the streets looking for people to pick on. He just tries to run granny's off the road in his scooby...

kuksool

thanks for the info on the scooby need as much as poss looks like i will wait till i can get a 99 model i reckon!

hey if you want check out the website i designed for my kuk sool won school its still in process but theres plenty of pics in the instructors and photo sections and info

ive been doing kuksool for about 15 years now Sipie and i could definately say its one of the best arts out there!!!

www.lakenheathmartialarts.com

SiPie

No disrespect at all meant to you or your art KukSool, but most martial artists always say their chosen art is the best

Glad that Kuk sool suits you and have only heard good things from Kenny about it

And as for running old grannies off the road .....

LG John

15 years Thats how long some of the guys in my class have been training and the standard is amazing! I really hope I can stick at it for that long although I've been lazy of late

LG John

That is true I suppose. I've seen people argue that their 'street brawling' class at their local community is the best art going

That said Sipie you REALLY should come to our next demo. The other day our instructor ran up the wall and thumped a pad out of one of the 6 foot tall black belts hand who was at full stretch standing on a chair That about 8-9 feet up no problem!!! It sorted of humbled my mid-level spin kick practise

Hello and welcome sir

SiPie

6,000 posts Kenny congrats....

Will do mate... always curious to see how easy it is to whip the oppositions ***

LG John

Couldn't agree more. I was a better white belt than I am yellow because I trained harder and more enthusiastically!! I recently graded for blue tab and I secretly hope I failed so that I can work harder for it next time. KSN Gavin once told us if we could hold 90 degree horse stance for longer than him we could have his black belt. I failed when my legs siezed after about 10 minutes but I'd rather earn the belt the hard way and under the eye of Kuk sa nim

kuksool

oh yeah wall dang chaggi very nice kick indeed although psbn don has always been exceptional at those kicks my demo pleaser is always helicopter speed break spin kick which involves 540 degree spin in the air before the kick or a power break doing four boards with a turning back kick

ahh ksn gavin i fought him in the tourny in the final unfortunately i was disqualified for drawing blood which was unfortunate as things were just getting interesting although i prefer continous as point fighting is a bit like a game of tag which is probably why i was disqualified as we go pretty hard at our club!!

Scott

LG John

Here is an MY99 that you might be able to get for under £8k

LG John

540 spin kick look the biz

KSN Gavin is acutally injured at the moment He was skipping and his achilies tendon snapped completely and his calf muscle shot up Its been about 2 months now and he can walk again with the aid of crutches but I suspect it'll be a while yet before he is back to his former glory He is the instructor I look up to the most - very precise with a good clean style. His forms are exceptional and he's still finding time to come into class to enforce horse stance

SiPie

agree 100% with that

Ooooh I've tapped you in the face so if you were in the street then you'd have to lie down and pretend you are unconscious... but hey, at least I scored a point for it

Pish

And for anyone that then comes on saying it improves muscle reflex etc then it may do.. ho hum, but it sure teaches you not to follow right through with your strikes and IMHO leads you into some real nasty habits

kuksool

im very sorry to hear that about gavin

thats a horrible thing to happen please send my wishes for a speedy recovery from ksn Scott Slack from Lakenheath Kuk sool Won under sbn Darren hart

thanks for the link on the scooby going to lunch now speak in a bit
