I get a lot of questions about my several hobbies ever since Rampage ran that article about me a few months ago.  I've compiled and answered the ones that appear most frequently.  It doesn't matter if I know you or not or if we're tight or just bleh.  Shut up and read this before you ask me a question about my comic, game, or martial arts background.

What do you use to make your comics?
Several 2H pencils, rubber erasers, an EPSON scanner/printer, Adobe PhotoShop and Adobe Illustrator.

How long does it take to make a comic?
A few hours.  The actual drawing takes around an hour and the computer work can take as little as half an hour to as long as two hours.

What company are you part of for your comic?
I'm not part of any company but my stuff is hosted by SmackJeeves.

Can I be GM in your game?
The games not online.  Plus, even if it was, positions aren't there just to give away.  I'm looking at you, NexGenMS...

Can I help make your game?
No, I hand pick my assistants, which are the real-life bases of the characters that appear in the comic or have a background in a field which I need at the time.

So what's the status on your game?
On indefinite hiatus.  It's too complicated.  I'll be making a much more simplified game (completely different) once I get the time.

Since you're black belt, you can kick anyone's ass, right?
No, being black belt essentially means nothing.  Any idiot can strap a piece of black cloth around their waist and dance around.  Plus, it doesn't make you immortal.  I've taken down a black belt in sparring matches when I was a blue belt.  Plus, even now, there are a few color belts who can still whup me.  Maybe it's because I haven't been sparring in over a year.  Who knows?  We're not exactly a group of elites.

I want to learn karate too, what tips can you share?
One of my biggest pet peeves is the narrow-mindedness of most people.  Every martial artist (excluding those who practice karate) have experienced this.  It gets irritating trying to explain this to people.  Not. Every. Martial. Art. Is. Called. Karate.  Like this situation that happened some time ago:

Dude: Hey, I heard you do karate. 
Me: Naw, dawg, I do Taekwondo.
Dude: Taekwondo?
Me: You know, one of the Korean martial arts.
Dude: Oh, it's still karate, right?
Me: Uh, no.
Dude: But it's basically the same, right?
Me: Uh, no.  Karate focuses on linear hand techniques whereas Taekwondo is focused on kicks and foot-related techniques.
Dude: Huh? *leaves*

Goes to show, if you want some idiot to leave you alone, tell them shit they won't understand.  And even better, make it sound boring.

What's the best martial art to learn first if I want to go MMA?
Muay Thai or Brazilian Jujitsu: the staples of MMA fighting.

What martial art do I learn if I want a background to trick with?
Taekwondo for the win.  Why? Narebund Chogi.

How do you learn tricking?
If your name isn't Brandon Soo Hoo, then just one word: Youtube.

Isn't tricking dangerous?
Yeah, but you name me someone famous who hasn't risked everything before.

What tricks do I learn first?
First of all, if you can't do basic gymnastics like breakfalls, tumbles, cartwheels and handsprings/handstands, do that and get back to me.  If so, back flip, aerial, 540, and Butterfly Kick.

What can help me be a trickster?
Youtube, Tricks Tutorials, and Bilang.

Dude, how can you call yourself a trickster if you know only the kicks in tricking?
Jujimufu says that you can wean yourself into the tricks you don't have the balls to do yet.  I can't do the crazy gymnastics shit but John can.  I can do the kicks and twists but John can't.  We're not Brandon Soo Hoo--we're not well-rounded...yet.  My repertoire might consist of kicks, tumbles, breakfalls, handsprings, and aerial freezes but I'm not limited to that.  I'm constantly improving.  Though, I can aerial but since I'm not consistent with it I doubt it counts.  Also, if you're wondering what the hell is an aerial freeze, you see John do it a lot in his pictures.  Bascially, you do a pose in mid-air.  Think of it as if you were doing freeze moves in Bboy but just in the air (and landing them, mind you).

(Not really a question but I've found this the only thing worth replying to)
Um, Jason, I'm a guy...
I get this sometimes since most of the people who ask me about the comic and sometimes martial arts are girls.  (:P) That's cool, bro, just because I kick it with girls a lot (and Andrew Z. remembers a convo about it that'd make a good comic) doesn't mean I forsake dudes.  It's not like this is gonna happen:

Dude: Hey, Jason, how do you do a tiger stance?
Jae: Well, come here baby doll.  Just position your gorgeous body like this and stick one of your tiny legs out, just past your other leg. Just bend down a little but don't let your cute little butt reach 90 degrees.  Stick out those arms of yours like a butterfly and there you go, darling, you got your tiger stance.  Hope you put that to good use, honey.
