Yup, we made it, thanks : ) Green/blue shouldn't be a problem in a
few months' time, but the Blue one-steps are. I need to do a
roundhouse and a heel-kick to the head. The heel-kick isn't a problem,
but I've got some arthritis nodules that are currently stopping me
going higher than shoulder-height on the roundhouse. I need to go for
some ju-jitsu lessons again - each time I've done that, someone's
flipped me and bust a nodule off - a highly interesting process :P

Omedetou gozaimasu! My question should have been, "Do deshitaka?

For those roundhouses, bend more at the waist, swivel on the ball of the
foot. If you're 152 cm, going for a 193 cm guy, no chance! ;-D

They duck, do a lateral leg sweep (not osoto gari) and land you on your
bum!

Couldn't you just get a really short person for this ;-)

Well most chefs refer to "whisps" of smoke to describe the proper heat
point...or "shimmering"..it doesnt mean the same thing as the oil actually
smoking..lol.

A wok and cast iron skillet are seasoned well enough to be non stick enough
to not have to worry much about it,

You and Wendy are the same degree of evil on this :P The idea is to
be able to fight a "like opponent". As it is, I'll probably be paired
against my eldest, who's 3 inches shorter than me, but can comfortably
kick over my head!
