A positive thread, my way of thanking some people

[Frost]

Since this place is really screwy at the moment I would like to make a positive thread and thank those that have helped me form my opinion of TCMA, martial arts and training in general

In no particular order
1) Merryprankster, his thoughtful posts on the value of sports training in general and grappling in particular really opened my eyes a lot to aspects of training I had not thought about, and I have not looked back since
2) Dale Franks, again like merry his posts really opened up my eyes to the reality of fighting and how we should train for it, and it was always fun reading his posts and his grappling, full contact fighting and stickfighting knowledge will be missed
3) Sevenstar, always a balanced and informative read and again helped shape my thinking
3) Ironfist, his posts in the S and C forum have always been informative
4) Ronin, again always a thoughtful read and showed me how a TCMA guy can train and re-woke some interest in the TCMA process for me, and for all the cool photos of naked girls
5) David Ross, Always fun to read his posts and whilst everyone here claims to have the real deal, its nice to hear from someone who actually DID train with a living treasure and still follows his tradition of training fighters
6) taai gihk yahn, has a real knowledge of the body from both a western and eastern approach, and his put downs are always funny to read


Honourable mention to masterkiller, dragonzbane76, iron eagle 76, goju, drake Yum cha for thoughtful insightful posts and conversations

Right enough of the soppy stuff back to the arguments, banning and threats!

admit it, you're just trying to take advantage of Gene's current penchant for radical changes to get a "Gay MA" sub-forum started...I'm onto you; and I don't mean that only in a gay way

But you forget, I AM Gene, I could create a sub forum just as easily as I banned LHK and KF. But then I would give away the secret, wouldn't I?

It works REAL good. I have it done everyday, sometimes four or five times. I have found the tingling sensation quite addictive!

[Scott R. Brown]

Yup! And since I was talking about fantasyland on another thread, that is a demonstration of people who are trying to make a reality out of fantasy. Even to the point of demonstrating a form, apparently, at a real tournament, and receiving an applause????:eek:

[IronFist]

3) Ironfist, his posts in the S and C forum have always been informative

:D

Glad I can help. Gotta keep the "lift with your tendons" and "you don't need protein to build muscle" fools in check :p

i actually missed you of the list, some of the conversations i have had with you have also been fun so thanks too :)

right now i'm off to see if i can get banned

[Frost]

actually nope you dont, it would take an openmindedness and actual expereince in these things to understand them, you just throw insults and god knows what around and still dont get banned

You've just replaced TGY on my "people to thank" list.

Seriously, though, that's cool. I'm verklempt.:D

[taai gihk yahn]

dude, for your own sake, enuf w the sarcastic comments; and btw, following it w a smiley does not elevate it into the realm of camaraderie, given that the majority of people here literally cannot stand you; if you've learned nothing from KF's banning, it's that despite what one posts, the manner in which you post is equally important; and you can go on and on about how no one says anything when you are "attacked", but fact is that you are just as guilty by way of the above comments of dredging up sh1t once things have calmed down;

OTOH, you will probably be banned (again), as I think Gene is working his way down his list, so never mind...

[taai gihk yahn]

God speed, sir!

Woman on right=wife, woman on left=intern. Either one could become angry with any visible reaction.

...my shidi.....was a Hung Gar man, and quite talented at Iron Body and Iron Palm. Maybe all that Iron qigong got up in his head and made him go Klingon.....

He wound up teaching workshops on the betleH for a while. It was pretty funny. He was pretty buff and hardcore and he'd sit these overweight trekkies in horse stance until they started to sweat cheetohs and cry "Beam me up! For God's Sake, Scotty, BEAM ME UP!!"

Sometimes, people will publicly and openly ingratiate themselves to others.
Not so much out of respect for those people, but more as a big FU to everyone else.

You jealous of my post count?

Don't be, I've been dropping threads here since '95. Plus, post counts are meaningless...unless one is a total dweeb, in which case, carry on. :p

Look at that Sanjuro Ronin guy though! He's dropped just about as many and has only been here for 2 years! :D

dude, you can cause things to happen in your world, or you can be effected by things that happen in your world.

If you cause things, you look for results, if you are effected by things, you look for reasons.

Be more on the cause side of things as opposed to the effected.

then you will have those posts done in no time! You can do it! Now stop complaining about how my post d1ck is bigger than yours and go out and use your post pump. :D
