Tough Call
Again the use of the word "studio" but here you have it following "Chuck Norris Karate..." and also Chuck and Steve McQueen out front. I think I have to let this one slide

Today's mail:
Q: I pose an important question: how does one properly pronounce the word karate? Ka-rat-a or Ka-ra-tea? I don't want to commit a cultural faux pas & the shame that comes with it.
-Linda
A: Your wrong on both counts. Even if you are retarded with a mouthful of marbles neither of your pronunciations are acceptable.
There are two accepted pronunciations of Karate. One is "Kha-rah-tay" the other "Kha-rah-tee" one is formal, the other is the informal.
When speaking formally or actively of the way, you want to use the "Kha-rah-tay" pronunciation. Ex: "I study Karate (Kha-rah-tay)"
When speaking in informally, or in a non-action context - passively, then "Kha-rah-tee" is accepted. "I going to the store to grab a karate magazine ("Kha-rah-tee")"....
These usages are not to be taken lightly, use the wrong pronunciation in the wrong context and you are taking your life into your hands.

Karate FAIL!
It's called a DOJO...not a studio.
Studio's are what metro ballbags live in, or where artists try to sell things they've scribbled on.
Sounds to me like Dave Deaton is confused and is in need of a lesson...

Dear two wheeled karate gods,
I'm a photographer in the fitness industry with a serious predicament.
While on a photo shoot I met a hard bodied model and we began to date.
Only problem is, I'm a frail, artsy, emo kid. And she basically manhandles
not only until the bedroom, which can be fun, but in front of family and
friends as well. So my question is do u think karate could help me put her
in her place, or should I try one if those strange Brazilian martial arts where
u hold people in somewhat gay wrestling positions to submit them...
thank you ahead of time forbur knowledge and wisdom.
Sincerely,
Dan R.

- Dan,
You're a pathetic excuse of a man, and should look into castration as you are not worthy of having male genitals. How could you even bring up the thought of Brazilian male struggle snuggle arts up on this forum?

Karate has no limits and knows no fear
wisodom and teachings of the way v.1
The Dojo...
For some it is 4 walls in which to practice the art. 4 walls that contain front signage, trophy boxes, weaponry and other tools of the trade, and mats. That's fine. Everyone needs a place for such things.
But those that know the way know that one must not be constrained by artificial walls. Handmade walls with handmade weapons may be a thing of beauty, but they hold you down.
You must not limit yourself. The way is greater than these walls.
THE WORLD IS MY DOJO.
Where you see lines at the grocery store, I see a row of heavy and speed bags. Where you see a a construction site, I see boards and bricks to sacrifice to the art and way. Where you see garden tools, I see tools of death.
This is the mantra for those that know the way.
This is my first utterance in the morning. This is the last thing I think before I fall asleep.
THE WORLD IS MY DOJO
