LOL good point tentigers!
dude, it's not the MacNeil Lehrer News Hour here - besides, the intrinsic nature of this medium is the ability for multiple conversations to go on at the same time pertaining to the topic at all levels - that's why people come here, because it's the closest thing to the town square / agora that we have left as a culture (as you are probably aware, this was a major means of exchanging ideas and doing exactly what we are doing here for centuries, up until maybe 100 years ago or so - so this is actually more akin to what human society was like for much of its "civilized" history; we are just used to public dialogue being highly rigid and structured because that is all we know of late)
it's like a buffet - pick and choose according to your mood...
stay away from teh sour grapes though because they're sour!
taai,
I agree, but when a really good discussion gets derailed by pictures of girls, I think I'm having a discussion with 12 year old bevis and ******** who get distracted by seeing booobies. Not that there is anything wrong with boobies, who doesnt love them, but there are better websites for that.Quote:

However sometimes I get too serious and passionate about MA but helll I spent 29 years trying to learn this stuff, so never mind me carry on
a lot of kung fu "fighters" start learning mma to "defend the honor of kung fu" "make kung fu work" out of embarassement about the youtube videos and hurt egos, not out of love for fighting. thats why theres not gonna be many good kung fu fighters.
they keep trying to find a weakness in mma , looking for the magic counter, trying to defeat big bad bully mma, when the weakness is within themselves
interesting way to look at it...
i think most tcma cats are waiting for some phoenix to rise from the ashes... disillusionment should be a good thing... but if it makes you give up everything you believe, makes me wonder how much you believed it in the first place... just look at how some people will clutch to a belief even when faced with overwhelming evidence against that belief...
personally, ive always been somewhat skeptic of everything and everyone... i dont think i believe very much where i have no doubts... not in an insecure way, just in a take it all with a grain of salt kind of way...
they can keep waiting, because that thing has been dead for awhile and now it's starting to stink.Quote:

trying to help idiots like yourself realize they are living in a fantasy world, but its a long long road, especially you all wrapped up in wushu theater. :pQuote:
This would beg the question why you and people like you, who think kung fu is "dead" insist on posting in a KUNG FU FORUM?

AH dude, the MMA vs TMA thing has been settled ages ago and we have tons of evidence that is easily viewed over and over and over.
Any discussion about it will consist of half a dozen serious posts, 30 flaming posts and an assorted melange of pointless drivel and, with some luck, pics of nice looking babes.
Its the MA way !!
plain and simple;
1) MMA woke up alot of TCMA about the need for more realistic training and conditioning.
2 ) MMA woke up alot of TCMA about the need for a ground game,
If not only for the fact that since the surge in MMA, everybody and their Uncle will try to take you down and GNP,RNC, etc, so you'd better be comfortable in that range.
It don't get any simpler than that. I really don't understand how these threads get any longer than a few posts....
haha to pass the time dear sir.Quote:

Can we please stop with the name calling? how old are you to have to resort to calling names to prove your point. You shoudl have out grown this by 5th grade. honestly please might treat you better if you treat them better, calling someone an idiot becuse you disagree with them is really inapropriate.Quote:
