why are you here?

need some help guys, just a question… why is it that so many people out here that dont practice kung fu come on the kung fu board and post thier rants about how kung fu sucks?

forgive me but Im trying to understand this warped method of thinking and trying to make sense out of it. please help

well I do kung fu…and I think your kung fu sucks.

More to the point, this board works on the basis that while my kung fu (or boxing,mma,thai,crapoera,karate etc) rules and is not only genuine, but street effective, yours is a worthless waste of time and has no value. Hence you should listen to what I say and one day, when your worthy, train in the same art as me.

Thats not really the case.
Its just that all of us who fight are constantly telling those who dont fight that to be good at fighting you have to gasp fight.

Im not trying to get into you and lkfmdc’s pissing match.

Too many assumptions and too many blanket statements make for too many pointless penis matches.

Saying that TCMA is useless is an unfair blanket statement. Forms training alone is fairly useles in the sense of fighting. FORMS TRAINING ALONE, AS IN BY IT SELF. that doesnt mean that it should be totally disregarded, as Im fairly certain coach ross’s guys know some formwork for some of the throws they use. However… They dont just do the forms, they throw each other.

Kung fu doesnt suck, just that some of its methods need supplementing to make them more completely effective.

ED;

I also post in other MA forums. Usually, they are very exclusive. I do enjoy a good term with mods and hosts.

How I do it? Be honest and sincere. (Cheng and Xing)

In northen kung fu forum, I was asked about Yi Quan. I posted that I was trained in Chen Tai Ji, Cheng’s Ba Gua and Shan Xi Pai Xing Yi. I DO NOT KNOW Yi Quan and no comment.

No pretension. They are happy and not angry with me.

In mantis forum, my training is in Liu He, although I know some 7 * and Mei Hua. I DO NOT post or comment something I dunno.

I was widely respected in these forums.

Here in the KF forum, there are a lot of people just looking or starting out or wannabe’s.

I post where I see fit and try to answer some general question.

In Tai Ji forum, I do post more serious stuff.

For the most part, I am here to be social.

:smiley:

Oh yeah… I also get paid to be here.

I could care less what style anyone does. I care about how people train, and certain groups of people have earned credibility for their training regimens.

More importantly, why must everyone who doesnt fight get butt-hurt when they are told they need to? If you are not trying to be a ring fighter, dont worry about it. Form work may save you in the street, or at least give you a better chance. Form work with lifting weights, bag work, and active fighting will give the ability to actually use what you know.

That is more or less the argument, and too many are too easily offended over blanket statements made by a thoughtless first party, but in turn the 2nd party is too lazy to think logically about the statement that is offending them.

SPJ,
yes I have seen you in the northern forum and im sure you know where my credentials lie and that is exactly my point. you know how serious we take the board and when there is a disscussion of bashing it is moderated and only serious replies are answered.

See thats my point …if you dont like a resurant then go somewhere else to eat, dont sit outside with signs saying this food sux, just go somewhere else… but instead you get people out here with nothing better to do than to say my bikes better than yours…

I’m just looking for my keys. If you can help me find them, I’ll be on my way.

oh wait water there over there

You mean over there?

That is new to me.

People always complain about the services suks and never the food.

Hey, food (forum) is innocent.

It is always the people that suks. and Never and never the food (forum).

:smiley:

I come here to make people like Earth Dragon break down and post absolutlely ridiculous illogical rants, so my work is done here for today…

I am here becouse i am a fat loser with a deficient social life who never gets laid and therefore likes to play with his small ***** on his own in front of the computer.
Anything else, buddy? :slight_smile:

I really don’t notice that much of it :confused: One in awhile, some idiot like Ralek shows up, but otherwise the non-kungfu and mixed martial arts people are pretty cool. I think a lot of people just overreact.

I agree with Brad. I think it is important to get POVs from people outside of the TCMA community. Sure it is not appreciated when people come here just to bash TCMA (like Ralek etc), but if people are willing to provide their POV in a constructive manner (like MP, Apowyn, 7*, even ST00) then I think it is useful.

So are you off to dance in front of your mirror singing, “I am so great!” now?

why do all the people who compete feel like they are fighting? Why is winning in a competition equal to fighting?

Different strokes for different folks, to mistake ring fighting for fighting is a mistake, or do you think it’s the same?

The are plenty of accounts of people who never competed and survived an encounter with a street person, there are plenty of badasses out there just waiting to make your day who don’t compet, and can:cool: to think not is a mistake.

To answer dumb ass questions like that from people who have never competed in full contact competitions. Of course competing full contact is fighting. What do you think it is?

haha, had to laugh. i think its competition for people who like to compete.

(I have recently taken to the analogy of playing blackjack. Any serious blackjack player will hit on a 16 if the dealer has a 10 or face card- you have to assume they outgun you. If you move against someone without taking that into account, you’re an idiot who could soon be parted with his life, or physical health)

from another thread, posted by someone whos views i agree with. lets see, weigh in, rankings, ect, ect. need to have a good match up for ahmm the fight?

read it and really undestand what he is saying.

oh yes i am here because i enjoy reading the post, and reading differnt veiw points, not much more then that.

A single ring fight is different from all others. One street fight is different from all others. One ring fight is different from all other street fights. It’s all fighting, though- two guys (or more) trying to inflict a significant amount of hurt on each other.

ahum…not all ring fights are even match ups. Many street fights are even matchups.
