Yeap.

I regularly use orange habeneros in my cooking since it's the hottest I can get in my boon dock town.

Though I'm not a huge fan of things that just emit pure heat. Habeneros are nice for their fruity/citrusy notes

There is chicken bowl joint in Orange: http://www.yelp.com/biz/tikiyaki-orange
If I remember right the owner makes his own habanero sauce. Couldn't put it better myself: fruity/citrusy notes.

Had a few chillis at Vietnamese food yesterday, along with soup that turned from clear to red, love chilli sauce.

The chillis I had were the small asian ones, small but quite spicy.

Stuck in Houston for a few days and bored... I went to a guitar center for the first time ever today.  Wow, what a cool store.  Had some fun in the percussion room.  Was impressed at the selection of headphone and mircophones.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

guitar center can be pretty cool. my store actually gotten more stuff last time i checked. i barely go there anymore. i use to go there lot to mess with the guitars and get guitar strings and sometimes for some dj equipment. don't have a guitar anymore though. just a midi keyboard but still want to find place where i can pick up a nice yamaha acoustic guitar. hard finding left handed models though, but if i have to i'll get a righty model and just flip the nut around and flip the strings. can't play guitar right handed for some reason, but everything else i'm pretty much ambidextrous and can use both hands.

Were you a kung fu master bro?

not anywhere near man. i studied a lot though when i was kid from kempo,tai-kwan do,akido,kendo, white-crane and wing-chun growing up. wing-chun i did longest for about 4 years. during that time and still meet lot of grandmasters, even ones who trained with legendary bruce-lee. couple years ago i had dinner with grandmaster william cheung. totally awesome guy and nothing you would expect from a grandmaster. he still comes by the school though sometimes, but mostly during the summer. very busy guy, always traveling and teaching.

i haven't done any of that stuff for like yeas though. been busy and what i mostly do is observe or help out when ever i'm around the store/school. i want to get into tai-chi still though but class times is only around when i'm not available.

I did mostly Tae Kwon Do for about 7 years (18 to 25) because there was a relatively decent grandmaster in the area I used to live then. Don't do it anymore either though. I might do something later... Heard there is a well regarded Goju Ryu Shihan in Irvine:

Hope he doesn't charge an arm and a leg...

i don't know him personally but looks good. i don't think they actually train real traditional way exactly but will most likely keep the traditional fundamentals in the training. if it was actually traditional, they would be getting sued left and right cause how they train in the asian countries i guess you can say, is tad bit more rough i guess you can put it especially when it comes to mental and physical training.

most the schools i went to,after you reach a certain level(never went by belt or slashs. it was more how quick you picked up things) they would send you to the asian country(japan or china. whatever type of martial arts your doing) to continue your training if you're serious about it and have potential so you can actually train the traditional way there. they train way different there than here,especially when it comes to mental,spiritual and physical training.

if you didn't know, the navy seals and marine corpse fellows the bushido code in a way and is integrated in their way of routine. lot of the military uses techniques that were developed by asian martial arts through time for combat and survival. that's why i find things like the UFC or MMA kinda a joke and very similar to boxing. put any of those fighters in an underground kumite and watch them get their ass kicked.

I believe you are 100% correct there mate. I never really went the bushido way, though my dad got a little taste of it in his Shotokan training well over 40 years ago. Back in the days he told me there were like 3 belts and that was it: white, brown, and black. He got his knuckles redone for him in his training.

I by comparison did mostly work out stuff. The grandmaster we had was military trained 9th dan Korean dude and the guy was made out of stone. You couldn't tell by the looks of him, but man! More importantly, he was incredible precise and energy saving. Few inches to the left and he was out of reach and ready for a devastating counter. He did always said that he was not going to train us to be killer machines though... He was a very nice guy, but not cheap...

yea, that's how they are. it's mainly 75% spiritual/mentally and 25% physical with most traditional ways. my akido instructor was like that. it was all about learning respect,disciple/control and honor first than about knowing how to kick someones ass. that's what martial arts really about, but people think it's for fighting. they don't just train anyone the traditional way. they would only if you had potential and good head on your shoulders i guess you can say.

but not all martial arts are like that. there are some made for sports and competitions like kempo, tai kwan do, and wushu.
