Heathen Board

Yeah, you see that with most traditional styles. Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai and Ju Jitsu are taking over. There's nothing wrong with those styles, but there's a lot missing from those that are offered in other various forms.

Nice! A very rough, aggressive style. The teacher who taught me Northern Shaolin also took that form. I've thought it was essential for a balance between soft and hard forms, Northern Shaolin being the more graceful style while something like Boxing or Krav Maga being a more aggressive style. Has go...

I've done various forms of Kung Fu like Northern Shaolin, several different Animal Styles, Kenpo, Western Boxing, Krav Maga. Northern Shaolin was my most "formal" style, as I was taught by a master. But, I have family members who have trained in martial arts and I learned most from them

Well most forms of alcohol have a very pleasant, inviting sound to the name. But, if I made it anything like that, I'd feel like I was lying xD "Shit-that-will-get-you-smashed" seems to be the best idea

I have The Triple Horn of Odin as well, on my left shoulder. It's my only tattoo for now, and I really love it. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it

One of my favorite bands, "Amon Amarth" made a video that's on YouTube about how to make mead. It wasn't fancy at all; use a milk jug as the container, honey, water and baking yeast. So, I made my own batch of mead (only using higher quality, plastic containers). I made 2 gallons worth, an...

The Christians get their strength in the sense of community that their faith offers. I live in the South as well, and you can't go a few miles without seeing a Baptist Church. I believe if more Things were held, at least one in each state but hopefully more, that Heathens would start to get that sen...

Thanks for the feedback guys, much appreciation! On one side of the coin, I don't have a problem with my atheistic mentality; it's comfortable and it makes sense. On the other side, though, I've always had a deep ancestral pride and longing to be dedicated to the same creed that my ancestors were, a...
