Apologies to the TKDists. I know this isn't what your dojang is like. I mean, I hope it's not.

That had to be a spoof. I've met a few clueless instructors over the years, none that bad.

It is, 'Foot Fist Way' is a comedy movie. The man's real name is Danny McBride - an actor and writer. Fred Simmons - "King of the Demo" - is the character he plays in the movie and McBride decided to appear 'in character' on Conan's show.

I never saw the movie or the trailer, but 'craptastic' is a good description of the opinions I've heard from pretty much everyone that saw it.

Your IP address is in the UK, you have a UK email address, and yet you list FL USA as your location. Is there as reason why you are starting out your membership here with a lie?

The movie is great. It really is. It's kinda (cinematographically) like Napolean Dynomite, but story line is fantastic. Unfortunately, I'm sure we all know people that fit that same mold as he's portraying.

I thought the movie gave up almost all of it's funny lines in the trailers. I was really looking forward to it but when I finally saw it I was not very impressed. Mcbride was pretty good in Land of the Lost.
Jiu-Jitsu - like chess, except you get to choke people.

Well that's kind of creepy. To clear things up, I'm a Brit, hence the email address. I'm in Florida 9/10ths of the year. I'm currently at my sister's in, you guessed it, the UK. I'm happy to change my location details on a temporary basis if that's an issue. Thanks for the warm welcome and the liar accusation. Originally Posted by Webmaster

Well if you have to be somewhere 9/10th of the year, Florida is not such a bad place. My apologies, but often times the discrepancy between where someone says they are and where they are actually located, is an indication that we are dealing with a spammer. Don't worry about changing your location. Your explanation is good enough for me. Originally Posted by knucklekick
