Huw reckons that any photo of you will "do the business" that you have stated above....I thought he was a bit out of order myself :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

Blast!! I forgot about the 1st pic!!!  Damn and double damn!!  

Under such duress, I therefore categorically deny that Huw stated at 9:34 pm on Saturday 11th January 2003, in the Jade Village restaurant that he was looking for an industrial strength lens to take Mole Bach's pic for the web site.

Hope this helps Huw

Barely sufficient - but on the whole I accept your grovelling apology.

Funny how nicknames seem to evolve in the club. Everytime one is coined up Eryl says: Well that one's been "crucified"  (meaning babtised - but I think his version is more relevant)
Following a comment by Samurai Jack on this forum about a fellow Seki,  (John )
Huw wrote:
"Having said this nothing focuses my blocking as much as seeing Big John's asteroid sized fist hurtling toward my brainbox!! Yikes."

can this be his new nickname ?

Sung to the tune of Big bad John.

Big John, Big John)
Ev'ry evenin' at the dojo you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John.
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

Nobody seemed to know where John called home
He just drifted into training and stayed all alone
He didn't say much, kinda quiet and shy
And if you spoke at all, you just said "Hi" to Big John.

Somebody said he came from Sir Fôn
Where he got in a fight over a mobile phone
And a crashin' blow from a huge right hand
Sent a Covi fellow to the Promised Land-Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

Then came the day at the grading line in
When Kawi walked in and men started cryin'
Karateka were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept John

Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that Karateka knew well
Went through his kihon and Ki ai'd with a shout
And like a giant oak tree he just stood out-Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

And with all of his strength he gave a mighty punch
Then a fighter yelled out "There's goes my lunch
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left on the floor to face-Big John

Samurai Jack could not back down
They started to rumble, fists started to pound
Jack hit him and hit him time after time
Everybody knew you could not put down -Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

But Jack didn't affect him one little bit
John took all the punches then let out a hit
Jack went down he couldn't stand
And over him towered one hell of a man - Big John
(Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John)

FADE (Big John, Big John) Big Bad John (Big John

So that's it!
New karatete (sp?) can only deem themselves properly initiated into the Seki Ryu Zan club not when they grade or become shodan; not when they join the secret techniques class at 9pm or master the funny handshake in the Wanka kata, and not when ther submit sufficient posts to the website.  Rather they are properly a Seki member only when (and if) they are "crucified" with a club nickname.
One could postulate that said nick name should somehow relate to that individual's avatar.

I'm asking for trouble here... ..As I don't have either nickname or avatar yet (as far as I am aware), as an absolute beginer (karate virgin 4 months ago but very keen) would it be too presumptuous to ask when will I get a nickname? Yikes! What is entailed in the nick naming crucifiction and (mosy importantly) what will my nick name be.
Seriously though, ideas for an appropriate avata would be appreciated.

By the way Moley, you should edit your 'occupation' to "sitting on radiators composing ditties all day".

I'm answering myself here having just seen my note. I  know - I can't spell for diddely. Usually I have a secretary and a PC spell checker.
Huw - how do you spell check posts before submiting?  Don't say use a dictionary please.

Use a spell checker, you might find one as part of your word processor ! Seriously, don't get too het up about spelling - no one else bothers! Moley is not marking posts for spelling accuracy or gramatical correctness. Good news for Azzy !!! ;-)

The ancient nickname ceremony of the Seki Ryu Zan is a complex set of rituals mostly based on the person to be "crucified" own mistakes in words or deed. Coupled with sharp observations and an unusually nasty sense of humour on behalf of other seki members, one can be assured of getting lumbered with a "handle"
Examples of nicknames are or have been:
Taz, Bones, Doggers, Stormy, Shetland, Churchill, Dyn y LLofft,
Explanations can only be given verbally.

How's about "Madonna" ????

Don't worry usually a first attempt at a nickname doesn't work..it has to be approved by Eryl first.

MOLEY

Can I suggest that you get the SEKI BOYBAND to give us premier hearing of "BIG JOHN" tonight.

What does concern me is that at 1130 during term time isnt there a school to run or do you have as much "freetime" as me when I'm not out in "THE CAR" issuing SPOTS !!!!!!!!!!!

is there going to be a group or club photo??

How are the blisters ??

DAVE gave me some blister plasters which were good except that during training on Monday it nearly flew off my foot like a leech onto my opponent. if that would have stuck it wouldn't have been  a kiai heard across the dojo!!!!!

Can't see why not. Moley ??

Blister is OK ish - still there but I can train on it at the moment. With a little luck if I don't hammer it to hard tonight it'll be gone by Monday.
