Nerds and Kung fu

You got bullied for being a nerdy omega male by Alpha males and took up kung fu.


Then the bullies who were athletic and enjoyed competition took up MMA.


Now they can beat you down even worse than before and your years of make believe Chinese larping won't help.


So you call them trolls? I assume that this is some slang that was developed when you were in the land of make believe. Trolls are large, strong and brutish, so you fear that they will take your money and your girlfriend.


Some of you are older now and yet you still react like a nerd on the playground.

the guys who bully you train hard and do MMA and are really nice people in real life and have the actual confidence that comes with capability.

Actually, many of the MMA peeps I have meet locally have egos that far exceed their skill and practice MMA because they don't have the discipline for a TCMA.

I'm not saying this a an accurate description of all MMA peeps, I know some very nice ones, but it is what I have seen locally.

45 years of training and still not there. But every once in a while I get it right!

Recovering Forms Junkie! Even my twelve step program has four roads!

Yes, I fight in silk pajamas. And I have probably broken more opponent's ribs in my silk pajamas than many others rolling around in their knickers and mittens!

if some one keeps saying the same thing over and over

it is like a wind mill

it keeps turning and turning (posts after posts)

it does not go anywhere

It doesnt matter what syle you practice, it matters what you put into it for what you get out. MMA is no better than TCMA and TCMA is no better than MMA, it all depends on the context and the situation. Besides the first REAL MMA was Hung Ga.

So I must ask, were you the bully or the nerd?

Practice MMA because they don't have the discipline for TCMA?

You've got it completely backwards. It's the other way around.

They also practice MMA because they want something that actually works and is easily verifiable.

There's a big difference between "can't do" and "don't do" because time is much better spent doing training that actually makes a differnce

You DON'T do it cause you CAN'T do it LOL......

if you were any kind of martial artist you'd be sitting in your horse while on the computer like i do. but you need to be able to do the horse to understand this.....

cool guys are cool

nice guys are nice

nerdy guys are nerdy.

no matter what they do (MMA or kung fu).


nerdy guys doing MMA is still nerdy

cool guys doing kung fu is still cool.

you see

not all people doing MMA are cool.

and not all people doing kung fu are nerdy.

---

so the question is not that what you do: kung fu or mma

the question is that are you cool or not.
