/Throws forms book out window/
Yenhoi, bro, hows it going…
Sweet…
I know I picked long fist just because of how pretty the forms are :rolleyes:
Actually, Wing Chun smokes big ones, and I don’t mean joints or cigs. I watched a video a couple of years ago with all these WC guys practicing hard, doing forms, only to get the sh*t beat out of them when they faced some bad bros from NYC, using Kyokushinkai. I laughed so hard as the brothers pounded their silly a$$e$…
Re:
Hello everyone!In my opinion many of the people on here and other forum`s that act like they are about 7 yrs.old do it because they are hiding behind a computer.They are able to talk sh** because they are not talking to the other person(s) in person,if they were in front of the other person and said some of the foolish things that they say on here they would get at least a punch to the face or a good a** kicking.Or face to face they could prove their lethal killing ability that they like to profess on forums.I suppose as with everything you have to take the good with the bad.At least you can talk to people from other styles and parts of the world about martial arts and other things which if the forums were not here you could not do with the same ease.

Still laughing…
pettiness, immaturity and … Berserker…
Er, no dumbass, this thread wasn’t actually addressed to you…!
Oh dear, now you’ve dragged me down to your level… well, you sure as hell ain’t gonna make it up to mine are you…?!
So I’ll just have to whoop you on this one too!:eek:
BTW, SD and JP, good posts.
You wouldn’t catch me being petty and immature…
You know sometimes you just get the feeling that even after 50 million years of evolution the most popular forms of mass-media with all their potential are just making us dumber and dumber…!?
I have a feeling berserker was sodomized by a donkey when he was young.
Then again, maybe going on a three day drinkin binge, beatin up drunken mexicans, and bangin *****s is the secret to good kungfu.
Anyways, I dont think we’re ever going to get rid of bickering and name calling. At least not here.
"When one looks at a typical class of traditional martial artists and compares it with a typical class of combat athletes engaged in their chosen sport, the difference is often very striking. The psyche and physiology of the people involved in combat sports appears very different from traditional martial artists. Almost always the level of physical conditioning is dramatically higher among combat athletes. The ethos that is cultivated is improvement through hard physical work. In traditional martial arts the ethos is all too often one of improvement through the acquisition of “secret technique”. The mindset in combat sports tends to be one of judging technique and ability through empirical evidence. This is possible because there is a simple test as to whether a technique works or a student is good - train live and see what happens. In traditional martial arts this rarely happens. As a result the true worth of a technique or student is difficult to gauge. Traditional martial arts espouse much more than fighting technique. They also promote a certain kind of lifestyle and worldview. Quite often these worldviews are quite pacifist or non-competitive in nature. Naturally this tends to attract a “kinder, gentler” type of student.
Combat sports on the other hand, directly endorse competition and the pursuit of victory by physical domination of an opponent. As such they attract a strong, competitive mindset. This tends to be a mindset that does well in real fighting also. Thus the kind of person who tends to be attracted to combat sports tends to be very different from the kind of person who is attracted to traditional martial arts. Perhaps the most important contrast between students of traditional martial arts and combat athletes is the confidence that live training instills in the students of combat sports. Since they can see the effectiveness of their technique every time they train, combat athletes never really worry about the effectiveness of their technique. They can be sure that if they can get it to work against a well conditioned, experienced, resisting opponent in live sparring in the gym, it will certainly work against an inexperienced opponent in the street.
