The Ultimate Martial Arts Thread

[MightyB]

Just for fun, What styles or style attributes would you adapt to create your vision of the Ultimate Martial Artist? You can also include unrelated martial-like skill sets. For example, you could be like Gene and be a warrior poet fencing Shaolin disciple who owns a taco stand.

So what is it? A Wushu acrobat with mad computer hacking skills, a katana wielding pilot, a scuba diving shuai jiao-ist with mad TKD kicking skills, it's up to you. Let's hear some of your ideas.

[MightyB]

I could go with the Gambit approach:

Wushu aerials combined with Parkour
Shaolin Staff and Shuriken Throwing
& awesome at counting cards.

[MightyB]

I'm also a huge fan of the Splinter Cell franchise.

So that would be:

Dirty Boxing with a mix of Sambo and Krav.
CQB firearms weapons training
Gymnastics
Lock Picking
and Computer Hacking.

Kung Fu Porn jutsu !

[jdhowland]

h+ (enhanced human) technology including instant connection to surveillance cameras, webcloud and other intelligence sources

sonic weapons

artificial invisibility

swarms of nanobots controlled by the central nervous system

[MightyB]

This is kind've cool

Skillz needed to be a real life mentalist. (http://www.squidoo.com/How-To-Be-The-Mentalist)

I think you'd have to be a master with the Jian and Wudang Kung Fu if you're a mentalist. Seems like they should go together.

Confucius would say archery.

Infantry of cold weapon would say long spear.

Nin Ji tsu would say hidden weapon of all sorts, including nin ja star.

I would say pebble or rock throwing skill or sling shot. David and G---

Modern time, you would say hand gun, rifle etc.

---

Train your weapon (both cold and hot) skill in addition to your fist or open hand skillz.

In PR China and HK,

there is talk about revival of long spear comp

the ultimate MA skills of infantry in the old time.

Your long spear skills would make you famous ---

Fencing, Writing, Shaolin Disciple who owns a Nacho stand.

[Lucas]

Wakandan royal family style, mixed with a secret herb that is poisonous to all but our bloodline that hightens all of our senses, strength and reflexes, combined with a kick ass black panther suit with a variation of optics, some vibranium claws and extended staff.

[Punch.HeadButt]

Proportionate strength, speed, and agility of a spider, a sense that alerts me to all immediate threats (a "spider" sense, if you will), ability to stick to walls, and a hot redhead wife.

[GeneChing]

The truth is that I haven't fenced in years. But I've had some nachos recently. In fact, I might have some more for lunch today. :D

Lucas, what is it with you and cat suits. Wouldn't you rather be the Red Ranger (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=1081)?

[MightyB]

Lucas, what is it with you and cat suits.?

[Kellen Bassette]

We already have the Ultimate Martial Art. It's called Wombat Combat.

It's a mix of Wing Chun, Xing Yi, Tai Chi for health and Mongolian Wrestling.

[GeneChing]

My eyes! Ouch! My ****ing eyes.

Are eye gouges against the rules? :mad:

[Punch.HeadButt]

Do those great powers comes great responsibility P.HB?

With that wording, I'm gonna assume we're talking about the redhead here. And yes. :D

I am forced to correct this erroneous posting of MightB. Obviously he is a vibrant exhibitionist and will use any opportunity to get his photos some hits.

IDK, I think your other costume was more intimidating.

[Raipizo]

I think being able to perfectly master something after seeing it once, like in Chocolate is pretty much awesome.

[Lucas]

IDK, I think my gay cat costume that I was modeling was more intimidating

Admit it, you're scared.

If only you two were nacho ninjettes. Then we'd see this thread view count skyrocket. As it stands, I think it's dropping. But that's forum fu for ya.

[Syn7]

My eyes! Ouch! My ****ing eyes.

Are eye gouges against the rules? :mad:

It's only legal when you gouge out your own eyes to eliminate distractions thus increasing your general awareness.

Serious, you should try it! :p Don't forget to film it.

Besides, this forum is much more fun in braille!

Don't make me sick my ninja kitten on you. It may look cute, but that little fukker is dangerous.

green beret karate squirrel is more brave than ninja kitten.

[GeneChing]

...you know, like one of those singing trout or Kung Fu Hamsters....

Spoken like true martial bruddahs. Carry on!

[Punch.HeadButt]

That squirrel would be even cooler if it sang Kung Fu Fighting...
...you know, like one of those singing trout or Kung Fu Hamsters....

A relative gave me one of those Kung Fu hamsters once. I laughed my ass off for a good 10 minutes the first time I set it off, tears in my eyes and all.

I was pretty ripped at the time. :o

[Lucas]

green beret karate squirrel is more brave than ninja kitten.

Ninja kitten lives in the shadows, and only to serve her master, me. I forbid ninja kitten to die, she must survive so that she can continue to dispatch my enemies in the future. This is the code of the Ninja Kitten.

Green beret karate squirrel is indeed a worthy warrior, but lacks the skills to survive among the shadows.

[GeneChing]

And the Karate Gerbil?

[Lucas]

Depends on kungfu hamster's style, lets just hope its not wing chun...if it's a Shaolin Hamster, we got something to work with. Karate Gerbil is a step below Green Beret Karate Squirrel. He has skills but doesnt have the real world experience to back it up. He is ok in the dojo but can't handle the streets. Besides, he is a grand master so he's probably kind of old by now and wont be able to keep up with the young gerbils. Gerbil is one of those weird words that get even more strange as you say/type it.

[Punch.HeadButt]

Kung Fu Hamster has numchuck skillz :cool:

[Lucas]

i heard kungfu hamster has advanced iron claw skills too

[Syn7]

Yeah but he doesn't apply it realistically in training.

[JamesC]

Yeah but he doesn't apply it realistically in training.

Hahahaha!!

[Punch.HeadButt]

Yeah but he doesn't apply it realistically in training.

Believe me, if you push his buttons that mofo WILL start Kung Fu Fighting at the drop of a hat...

[Lucas]

He's too deadly for the ring so it can be hard to gague his effectiveness.
