You know what's annoying?

When you’re training for a fight every Tom, **** and Harry has to tell you about every fight they’ve been in and two-weeks of training in Tae Kwon Do they have. And then afterwards, especially if you loose, everyone is so full of advice… that you should’ve done this or that. Next time you could do this. And then, on the street, they want to demonstrate their two bit move to you.

****, you’d think the world was full of bare-handed killers. And yet it’s so hard to find a good, reliable sparring partner.

This isn’t isolated to martial arts. When my first book was published, I got endless accounts about how someone’s teacher liked their stories in kindergarden, the ideas people had for a better ending to my book, or about the book someone was going to write when they could find the time, etc…

People just get excited through proxy.

Ray,
Seriously, WTF do you expect when you post on a MA forum ???

I’m pretty sure he’s talking about IRL, SR.

[QUOTE=uki;952736]so was your book about the mastery of baiting for fish? :p[/QUOTE]

No, it was about the importance of young men having older non-family role models to influence them. I doubt you would be interested. No giant asteroids or laser guns going woosh woosh.

[QUOTE=MasterKiller;952748]I doubt you would be interested.[/QUOTE]you’re probably right, because i have seen very little from your posts that would qualify you as being an expert in the field. :slight_smile:

Precisely the same reason I don’t bother with your posts on martial arts training.

[QUOTE=MasterKiller;952751]Precisely the same reason I don’t bother with your posts on martial arts training.[/QUOTE]because my posts come from true experience and not puffed up presumptions gained from a sport fight… you dance, i walk. :slight_smile:

Every story you have is of you getting beat up. Hardly proof of anything except your ability to take a beating, which, by the looks of you, is probably more advantageous to your prolonged survival, anyway.

there are always the spectators and endless comments.

if it holds true, we take the advice.

if not, just some rambling or noises. ignore them.

as long as we do not lose our goal or center of attention.

Wasn’t referring to this board. I’ve received tons of good unsolicited advice here.
