I am MadMonk. DerAuslander on Bullshido. Yes, that DerAuslander. I was here probably before many of you, but then left, then came back, and then left. Spent years living in a Korean Buddhist temple. Have a background in various forms of Taekwondo & Shaolin kung fu. Teach Jeet Kune Do & Kali. I like kittens. And puppies.
You forget to give me credit for everything good you have ever done. Shame on you. Edit: We need to get together to discuss Ikkyu and so you can beat me up with sticks.
Auslander is almost single handedly responsible for getting me the drunkest I have ever been in my entire life....best weekend ever!
There's pudding? Why was I not informed of this?! :O We have not met sir, but a hearty welcome back to you anyway.
Welcome back - I always enjoy your posts (and your posts are one of the reasons I lurk in the KMA section at Bullshido).
Welcome back. As I said in the other thread, although I don't read bullshido, I do remember you being a goldmine of information on the history and politics of Korean martial arts when you posted here.
