FOOL! He is blasting a track of kittens roaring, on an endless loop!
It's enough to make Chuck Norris sh*t his pants. (I'm sh*tting Chuck Norris's pants, just thinking about. fear )

Not a bad guess, actually. The Sifu who runs the place has speakers all throughout the dojo. During his Tai Chi classes, he loops Chinese woodwind songs.

It's an awesome movie; oneof my favorites.
The main title is often on my background playlist while I'm just hanging out around the house.

In my right hand: a regular wooden cane.
In my left: a cane-sword with a 21-inch blade concealed in the hollow shaft.
The soothing music thing seems to be common from the kung fu places I've visited. I guess it's because Tai Chi is so popular.
Are the canes part of the Karambit or does it go along with a different style?

No, the canes are part of the Monkey form.
I do Karambit at another place.

Yep. I could be walking down the street with it (and have), and nobody ever knows that there's a nearly 2-foot blade inside.

Hell no. I know what I am and I'm proud to be Chicano. I'm not some Jewish whiteboy who wishes that he was Asian.
nothing wrong with living and embracing another culture.. foreigners do it all the time here in the US and i would say they are just as american if not more americans then the ppl who were born here.

He is beyond simply "embracing" it; what he has is a borderline morbid obsession.
Doing MA alone doesn't mean anything, right about that. But when you consider other things about him: he converted to Buddhism and is a hardcore practitioner, admits to wearing traditional Japanese garb around the house and in his everyday life, and has even tried out for Asian characters and (unsurprisingly) didn't get the part, it all starts to paint a picture about him.
The man is about as Asiaphilic as it gets.

I was born in Mexico and now live in the US, so I know all about that.
