1) Tell me, why do you think you would be a good addition to this club?
I've always liked some form of martial arts. I did Karate as a kid and then I got my green-blue belt in Tae Kwon Do and even did a little MMA training and even tried my hand at pro wrestling. I always like looking up videos of different styles and learn more especially with all the different styles used in the Avatar & Korra series.
2) What do you do to help improve your physical health?
Play outside when its nice out. Shame winter is coming. I also do meditation and have been trying to drink more water.
3) Any favorite fighting type Pokemon?
Machamp, Hawlucha, Poliwrath, Cobalion & Galarian Zapdos
Welcome Caite-Chan to the Hall of Warriors! Happy to have you join the ranks. Here is a power weight to commemorate your induction into our club, and to honor your days wrestling and your martial arts experience! A power item for health.
It's great that you progressed to a green/blue belt, and even dabbled in the world of professional wrestling. I am honored by your presence here.

If you ever want to share tips or exercises for meditation feel free. I have started recently reading books about Buddhism, and am deeply interested in how to live a more peaceful life.
I have heard so many great things about Korra and Avatar. It have seen a few episodes of the latter that I really enjoyed, and need to one day sit down and treat myself to the full series. I am especially interested in the mythology of the world and influences from Eastern religions like Buddhism, Shintoism and Hinduism.
What type of bender do you think you would be? I think I'd probably be an earth bender.
Physically I am stronger than the average girl, people tell me I give off a calm, trustworthy, and well warm, earthy vibe. I definitely love animals, ecology, rocks, gems and being in gardens. I could be a water bender too possibly, I do love our oceans and the beauty of being near the water, but I think probably earth is more like me overall.
Speaking of water, you mentioned that you are trying to drink more if it. I was wondering if you enjoy ice? Water is something I only recently started drinking a lot of, and for me adding lots of ice cubes to a cup of water made it more appealing, especially during the broiling summer months. Ice is just fun to play around with to me, and makes me remember to drink all the water instead of just letting the cup sit there. Not everyone is fond of ice though, so maybe adding something like a squirt of lemon/lime or a spring of mint to a still cup of water may help to give it a touch more flavor to tempt you to drink more while still being mostly water? Just thought I'd throw an idea or two out there that helped me. Much love!
^ That's really cool! I knew you were a fan of pro wrestling but had no clue you actually stepped in a ring before.
1) Tell me, why do you think you would be a good addition to this club?
I'm avid watcher of MMA and love to talk about events and fights that I watch. I've been following the sport since Brock Lesnar made the jump from Pro Wrestling to MMA. The TUF reality show helped ease me in as a fan too since it gives you a bit of drama until the sport itself hooks you in. I used to train in Taekwondo and Jiu-Jitsu, though I'd only recommend the latter unless you can find a legitimate teacher in the west. There are some hacks out there who frankly don't know what they're doing. I also love fighting games like Tekken 5, Budokai 3 and Dragon Ball Fighterz even if I'm not great at them.
2) What do you do to help improve your physical health?
For now it's just pushups, situps and bicep curls with the weights I have around the house. I'll add cardio and other exercises to my routine once things open up again. Eventually I'd like to get back into BJJ too or better yet, a general MMA gym that teaches a bit of everything (Kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Amateur wrestling).
3) Any favorite fighting type Pokemon?
Hawlucha, Mega Blaziken and Infernape.
If I may add my own questions. Who are your favorite fighters/martial artists? I'm a huge fan of the Diaz brothers because of their fighting style and authentic personalities in a sport where many of the athletes are trying to act like pro wrestlers. I like pro wrestling too but I don't like posers. I'm really excited to see Nick return next year now that he's gotten serious about training again. I'm tempering my expectations since he's closer to 40 than 30 now but I'll be happy if he can just get 1 win again before he hangs it up. He was robbed of his prime by USADA, the same athletic commission that gave Jon Jones a slap on the wrist for taking estrogen blockers and having elevated testosterone yet suspended Nick for years over some pot use.
What are your favorite fights or fight scenes? Mine is probably Nate Diaz vs Conor 1 because I've always hated Conor for his actions outside of the cage and it felt so good to see one of my favorite fighters humble him, if only for a moment.
Welcome, welcome Hunter! It's awesome that you are with us.
I used to take Taekwondo too. My dad enrolled me in classes led by a military vet in our local community when I was dealing with bullies at school, so I would be able to defend myself in an emergency situation. You're darn lucky that you live an area where learning jiu jitsu! That's so cool! You sound very fit and diverse between jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, kickboxing, wrestling and your exercise routine and trips to the gym. I'd love be at the local YMCA swimming if we didn't have Covid to deal with, but things will get back to normal eventually.
I'm not every good at fighting games either, and haven't played Dragon Ball Fighterz, but my eyes still sparkled when I heard the word, because I did watch the Dragon Ball anime, and enjoy other shonen series like Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho, Ruroni Kenshin, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ranma 1/2 etc.
Feel free to add questions of your own! I love the passion and energy you have brought to this dojo, and would like to present you with a power bracer to help you train your attack stat! Congrats you are officially a member of Close Combat!
1) Tell me, why do you think you would be a good addition to this club?
I have took Tae-Kwon-Do when I was younger and got up to red belt before going to university. I will have to pick it up again and achieve black belt. Also I play as Warrior in FF14, it's a really fun job. Finally, I am curious about all of these new fighting styles/other media.
2) What have you do to help improve your physical health?
Going on the trampoline, going on a bike ride, getting adequate sleep, and drinking enough water.
3) Any favorite Fighting-type Pokemon?
SCRAFTY
It's wonderful to see you hear Fafrir. You will make a great addition to our halls. We form quite a circle, all four of us, you, I, Hunter and Caite-Chan have some experience with Taekwondo. Having a red belt is magnificent, and I want to wish you good luck on getting your black belt! You can do it!
I envy you for your trampoline. That sounds like a great way to get your exercise in. You have mastered something else that I have not, and that is getting enough sleep. I wake up quite and toss and turn, trying to get comfortable, and don't always have good dreams. My cat is also quite a loud fellow at night, demanding midnight snack at odd hours so I am definitely a work in progress when it comes to routinely getting a restful night's sleep. I am trying things to make the process easier though, like listening to peaceful music to lull me to sleep. If you have any tips for getting a good rest don't be shy about sharing your experience here, because it's one of the best things for you.
To celebrate your membership with us and your love of the Pokemon Scrafty I want you to have this power band. It's perfect for your special defense stat! Thank you for join us Faf!
