Random Movement Pic

March 30th, 2009 No comments

Well, it’s not exactly random. I post this especially for you MSCD lurkers, to inspire you to sign up for the Fall 2009 Fundamentals of Stage Combat class (THE 421C). The image you see here is from last year (Fall 2008). Nate and Mandy as wrestler and senorita. Guess who wins.

Fight Clip Club

March 29th, 2009 No comments

I tried my best to find this one particular fight scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, but couldn’t. Well, got sick of searching. So I’ve posted this clip from Raiders here instead for you, as it’s one of the most classic fight scenes in the films. Short, sweet, and funny.

The scene I wanted to point out is in Temple of Doom, though, and it’s Indy vs. two thugee scimitar-men (that are dressed a lot like the dude in the above clip, actually). What’s great about it is that Indy is unarmed. To see how he evades, disrupts the attacks, and even uses one guy’s sword against his buddy while he’s still holding it is delightful. Go pop in the movie and see what I mean.

Thanks to www.joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2904438 for the Raiders image.

Event Highlights

March 28th, 2009 No comments
Friday was another test nite at the BQC. As a brown belt, I’m required to test at every test, whether I get a new belt or no. For some reason, this particular test made me ridiculously sore. What, martial arts makes you sore?? I don’t understand….

Here are some of the highlights from the 3/27 belt test:
  • lots of free response
  • Jeff needs to stop sharpening his knees–I have a dark purple bruise
  • Keegan gets his sword kihon
  • being thrown by Thomas is always a pleasure
  • the insanely spicy rice Jas made for the potluck! Thomas calls it the “weapons grade” rice

Good job, and congrats on the new belts, everyone! ~Jenn

Thanks to Robbie for the pics! Images are: Jenn beating up children again, sword action with Keegan and Thomas, Jenn hitting Keegan’s glasses off. Good times…

Ninja Sketch

My sketches have been (surprisingly to me) pretty popular here on the blog, so here’s another one. This is my interpretation of “Ongyoki,” the “hidden demon,” a legendary ninja figure from Japanese myth. Enjoy. ~Jenn
