Obligatory cudos to members thread

[KC Elbows]

Feeling sentimental today.

Here's a cudo to certain members and why, good job, you guys deserve it:

Gene Ching: Honestly, if this guy weren't undoubtedly burnt on politics from working with kung fu sifus over the years, he'd be President. But is he a natural born citizen?;):D Anyway, cudos to you for dealing with all of us, maintaining a respectful demeanor even when you don't agree with us, and specifically for the GotQi? girls, thank you.

Mas Judt: This is a guy who probably considers me left of Mao, yet, in discussion of martial arts, he is respectful of all styles, teaches some really cool kung fu, and did others a good turn in being a voice closer to normalcy for chung moo quan people to debate with. I know a couple of guys who have trained with him and have nothing but good things to say about his kung fu. It's a rare guy here who would take a handle referring to another style than his own(monkey) just because he thinks that style is cool. If I'm ever up that way with time to train, I truly hope to train with him, even if just to show my respect for a traditional sifu who deserves it.

RD: Yes, some of you might disagree, but I don't care. RD is a rare bird. When I was in Chung Moo Quan, some higher ups at the school had me keeping tabs on him. Let me tell you, it is a rare guy who can join an insular cult and not be insular: many here might think they are above it, but such places offer false confidence to the unconfident, and real power to those who want it, and while the first might not be a weakness of many martial artists, the second is a major problem in most schools, legitimate or not. This guy loves martial arts, especially kung fu, and is his own man, whether you like that man or not. I also think he is a good foil for those elitists here who forget that this is not a professional association, but an open forum.

Merryprankster and Chris McKinnley: Although neither is here much now to my knowledge, these guys provide the most interesting, least partisan, most informed political discussion the forum ever saw, and rarely seemed to take things personally. Merrprankster was especially notable in that he never seemed to fall for the mma-tma stock argument, undoubtedly having seem plenty of hopeless mma hobbyists in his time.

lkmfdc- Even if I often don't agree with him on minor points, this curmudgeon has done really great things for motivating people to move toward training whatever they're training realistically, and, as a guy with a bachelor in the same field his masters is in, is a breath of fresh air from the sinophiles who know nothing about China in kung fu and those chinese sifus who pass themselves off as Confucian scholars when they are not. Additionally, his love of internal martial arts and Sun Lutang is inspirational.;):D

Master Killer- As a guy from my generation of kung fu players who trains openly and realistically, major cudos to MK. I do feel he could be more sarcastic, but I believe he is from Oklahoma, so he has achieved great things given major setbacks.

Sanjuro-Ronin- This guy is proof that even a Canadian can achieve great things. He can be an interesting guy to discuss almost any aspect of martial arts with, has a genuine interest in different styles, and, though he would not say so, is driven by his own ethics. And b00bie pics.

David Jamieson- As Kung Lek, seemingly inflexible. As himself, argues without reserve but does not seek to stigmatize those he argues with. On martial arts, I rarely disagree with him.

Hardwork- Yes, hardwork, not because I have read substantive technical works from him, but because, though I hate to admit it, he is partially right, there is nothing to gain from being buddy buddy with mma stylists by demeaning one's own style. May he make the next logical step in that conclusion, recognizing that being equal to or better than mmaists is the only validation currently worth discussing, and that that, in most styles, requires reforming the training methodology in order to produce people who don't know apps, but breathe them.

GDA's Grandma- in the book China Candid, there is an interview of a hooker in which she discusses how much more fun a woman with a large vagina is, and GDA's grandma is no exception.

There's plenty of others, feel free to share yours.

Love you too man

[KC Elbows]

I will have to take back everything I said about SR, as I don't care for blondes.:D

[sanjuro_ronin]

KC and I go back, more far back than we care to admit, LOL !
Always liked his view on things, even if he is a redneck hillbilly, on the other hand, he has a fine singing voice.

lkmfdc- while I personally think he and MK should invest in a tanning bed or at least some freaking tan creams, the man knows his stuff, period, end of discussion.

Masterkiller- Pasty face white dude that has taken it to the next level.

Sihing - a TMA man of the WC variety that understands his system far better than he lets on, the sneak *******.

T Nieoff- love him or hate him, we know he is right more than he is wrong, if only his hair style wasn't so 70's.

David Jamison- Canadian and old, cranky and *****y, paranoid and socialist, the man is a as constant as a fibre rich diet !

Gene Ching - Herr general !!
Those who are about to post, salute you !!!
*death to all tyrants*

Dale Dugas - Have IP will Travel !
No BS, No Compromise, take no prisoners ( except for that "lady" in Bangkok, but lets not go there), you want the scoop on IP and TV, Dale will slapped into you, and wear a kilt doing it !!

Knifefighter- the guy we all love to hate :D
Yeah, sure he can wipe the floor with us, but I still have more hair !

Pork Chop- A really unique member. The internet is full of three hundred pound men posing as sixteen year old girls, but only here can you find a three hundred pound woman posing as a sixteen year old boy. You go girl!:p;):D

[Mas Judt]

mmm liversnaps...

You know, I'd have a hard time coming up with this list, as I'd hate to miss someone, kind of like Santa Claus I guess. At times, it has been home to some very entertaining folks, and at time was completely pointless. But I've met a lot of great people here both 'online' and in the real world.

Someday we will meet KC, unless I see you first :D

[Lucas]

With the anonymity awarded to us by the internet, I'd like to give cudos out to all the members that still have it in them to conduct themselves and their interactions with some respect.

Sure we get silly from time to time, but there is a definate group of people here who 'keep it real' so to speak.

hats off

Then I'll have to use the kato fist I developed from watching the Pink Panther movies as a kid. Next time you open your refrigerator, don't be surprised if a guy who looks like a cross between Ed Begley and a bouncer is staring back at you, ready to attack you with your own produce.:eek:

[sanjuro_ronin]

you guys sukk

:p

And very well, in an total non-3% milk way !!

That said, I echo KC's view on you my friend, you are the genuine article, down to earth and honest to a fault.
You know your stuff and are smart enough to admit when you don't know, the true mark of a fighter and a MA.

Even if you lack chi you glorified kickboxer wannabe !

[Baqualin]

Picky sob ...

D@m SR your killing me again...I love redheads.:)

While this is true, I feel you should be aware that all this sweet talk will get you nowhere. It's common knowledge that Porkchop is the biggest ****tease on the forum. Sure, at first he's all nicey nice, Olive Garden is fine, but after that you'll find yourself at the Cheesecake factory buying appetizers martinis and steaks in the vein hope that you'll at least get a happy ending.

But you won't.:mad:

[Baqualin]

I can't say enough about these guys either....they been hard on us but, it's been in a very diplomatic way (except for Ross....bottom line though, he knows his **** and has a lot to offer all) Special thanks to Mas & Dale for all their help and to SR for all his visual effects:D
BQ

[KC Elbows]

Yeah, SR always gives a happy ending.

Pork Chop could certainly learn from his example.:D

[uki]

I love redheads.i'm a redhead. :)

[KC Elbows]

i'm a redhead. :)

Hilarious! :D

[Pork Chop]

man you guys are weird sometimes.
one second i'm a 300pound shemale and the next i'm genuine?
confusing

i will take a page from SR though and try to give everyone a happy ending. (http://i41.tinypic.com/2cyqznm.jpg)

I think he meant "genuine 300lb shemale"

those are hard to come by (excuse the pun)!

I am not sure what this was supposed to mean? I have nothing against REAL internal arts, in fact I have stolen tons from REAL internal arts. I just hate the "blow up a chicken at 30 yards with your chi blast" crowd

Ah man don't ruin my high:D

[KC Elbows]

It was a reference to Sun Lu Tang's followers role in popularizing the term "internal". No deep inner meaning meant, just good natured kidding. You've done huge good for kung fu, all styles, and also provide some fantastic prime time flame war entertainment on here, so it's hard sometimes not to poke you with a stick to see what happens.

[sanjuro_ronin]

Hah !
I though "sun lu Tang" was some play on cunnilingus !
LOL !!

As a student of the internet forum groove, I am humbly in awe of the masters.

Where can I get some videos? Do you do online training (other than here?)

Yes, critics of taichi often suggest that the applications are too esoteric, yet, the observer should be able to analyze that form and make use of it's techniques immediately.

My only criticism of those practitioners is that the master on the left releases his chi far too early.

This is a kung fu forum, buddy, and we take our Confucian approach to things very seriously here, which means that there are definite rites to be performed and forms to follow.

While you were attempting your so-called reality-based, shaven headed, tatooed "I'm even too cool for Sherdog" toned down for the ring "partisan insulting", you misunderstood the proper form. You used the following format:


Insult--->Argument--->supporting evidence cited from respected journals--->conclusion

To quote Mr. T, we don't like no jibber jabber. The proper form is insult, argument, link from paranoid schizophrenic's website on war between the greys, the Illuminati, and the Bilderberg Group, closing insult, emoticon.

Links to cite sources for an online argument are just like nipples on a man, they're not there to give milk, baby, they're just there for show.

I really feel, once you understand these principles, your attempts to be personally insulting online will be much more impressive.:D

I would expect nothing less from one of the sheeple. If you opened your eyes to the truth and had an ounce of intellectual integrity, you would realize that your insistence on "forms" and "formats" is nothing more than a pre-determined genetic program inserted into the DNA of humans and reinforced by the prevaling social and political norms all engineered by reptilians and maintained/observed by their various organizations here (Illuminati, Bilderberg, Masons, etc).

You can read more about it all over the net.

Try starting here: https://secure.gn.apc.org/members/www.bilderberg.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=11423&sid=ed55cda90baadfc2d11cc77e842e6ed4

I urge you to examine the evidence in front of you, and stop being a shill for those trying to rule every aspect of human life, before it's too late.

Of course, I don't expect the likes of you to break out of your microencephalic thought prison. Tiny deluded mind...:rolleyes:

(Your efficient use of the form requires me to respond in a manner that escalates the confrontation, in my case I will be using the Nazi Retroflux Argument) :

Let me get this straight, moron. It's genetic? So, you're calling me a nazi?

You do know that the first person calling someone else a nazi on the internet is always wrong, right?

When you took away my right to discuss without being called a nazi, I did nothing.

When you took away my right to post links from fair and balanced sources, I did nothing.

When you established a communist run news network funded by Red China, and called it CNN, I did nothing.

You can read it here:

http://heavenawaits.wordpress.com/obama-and-the-spaceship/

Maybe when Obama turns the country into Cuba 2010, he'll give you some of the rights he's stealing from me and other real, hardworking Americans and American auto conglomerates, stockbrokers and insurers, just fighting to provide a service, real or imagined, to their community. I am willing to bet many of those GM workers laid off in recent years are now relieved they do not have to work for a communist company! But people like you would make them!:rolleyes:
