I was going along Tudor street in the city Bridgetown when i noticed this sign for a karate school. I passed it and continued but then I remembered that i was looking for a good karate school.At least one that taught some kind of grappling since I couldn't find any kind of Jiujitsu school here and I really want to learn grappling. Actually i know there are some Judo Schools but i couldn't find any of them.

I turned around and went into the building.There were two men talking at the front of the building.I just glanced at them and went on my merry way.

Upstairs I enquired about the karate classes. The young receptionist wanted to know if I would be interested in the gym class or if i was primarily interested in karate. As I was talking to her a man with red burning eyes and obvious anger came up the stairs and shouted to me "You don't speak?"

I understood then that he was one of the men at the door downstairs..he had bulging muscles and was plainly about 50 times bigger than I am.In Barbados you would call me bony.I turned to him and said "I am speaking now." This plainly angered him even more as he shouted to me."You want discipline and whats more you have an attitude."

All the while I was not really believing what was going on. Maybe I had just walked off the street to go to battle with this goliath.

So I said "are you going to kill me because I didn't speak to you?" he said "did you see me bring violence to you?"

I had had enough of this anyway and I ask the little sheila if he was in anyway associated with the club.She said that he was a black belt and......

I said thank you.Give her back the brochure outline the class cost and promptly left the place....He was actually standing in the middle of the door downstairs....i exited ,didn't tell him bye and I was on my way.

Remember....in Barbados some people may kill you if you don't speak.......well almost.

Ichirouganaim

I hate to look at the Barbados tourists site that give the history of Barbados.The ones that talk of Columbus discovering these islands and the other foolish tales that the Bob Marley and Burning Spear called 'mis-education'.I agree with them as a matter of fact Burning Spear referred to Christopher Columbus as a 'damn blasted liar'.Thank god for Rastafari. One of the funniest stories is the one of the bearded fig tree and the name Los Barbados which was supposed to mean 'the bearded one'. In the words of Gary Cole from the book reflections; The Colonization of Barbados is one of the darkest events and evil stories of modern history.Four centuries ago,Spanish and Portuguese slavers started to kidnap,kill and drive out the thousands of peaceful Indians found on the island the Indians called Ichirouganaim.The exact location of the island was a carefully kept secret but Spanish and Portuguese soldiers and sailors knew the island as the barbarous island,"Los B...

Kelly Brook jets off to Barbados

Now I don't know who is Kelly Brook and to be quite truthful I don't really care...that much.What I care about like most Bajans...is that she has a good time in Barbados...just slightly beyond her imagination Now Magazine : "Kelly Brook has been showing off her curves in the Caribbean. The glamour model, 29, sported a slinky red swimming costume as she played in the sea near her hotel in Barbados. Earlier this week, she opted for a black polka dot bikini as she canoodled with toyboy Danny Cipriani, 21, on the beach."

Bummed Out on Barbados

Never let it be said that you can please all the people all of the time...but you certainly can please some of the people some of the time Tampa Exotic Travel Examiner: "While I wouldn’t recommend Barbados for travelers on a budget or as a one-day wonder, its west-coast resorts are great for an extended stay. The pink- and white-sand beaches are world class, and most hotels offer outstanding cuisine with top-notch (and expensive) restaurants available via cab on a reservation basis. My wife Kelly and I stayed for three nights at the lovely Treasure Beach Hotel (www.treasurebeachhotel.com) about two years ago. Our villa faced a pool shaded by gorgeous trees, and only a few feet beyond the beach and Caribbean Sea. During our stay we enjoyed golf, fishing and trying new cuisine such as a flying fish sandwich (I didn’t like it). By all means consider Barbados in a Caribbean itinerary, but I’d pass unless it’s part of a package deal that includes a few more interesting locations (like...
