What I don't understand is how he has been ragging on us about our "far fetched stories", and then he admits to being a liar. So how can we trust anything he says as truthful? What a hypocrite.

I agree 100%. I have been to several seminars, and it takes me more than a couple of hours to get the form down to a point where I can practice it on my own. There are those who can pick up a form...

Unfortunately just like Herpes, It never goes away...:rolleyes:

Heck no, that would interfere with them posting the S.O.S. for two months.

The real question is how a handshake makes you into a superior martial artist?

Oh, I can. Internet anonymity at it's finest!

Thanks a bunch for all the replies! :)

I have some Dit Da Jow recipies that I want to make up. Can anyone recommend some online chinese herb dealers that have a wide selection?

Has anyone had experience with the Cold Steel Dao? They call it the Willow Leaf Sword, and it looks like a nice piece.

Saturday, cjurakpt, is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don't work, I don't get in a car, I don't ****ing ride in a car, I don't pick up the phone, I don't turn on the oven, and I...

Don't worry, it seems we have others already waiting in the wings to be the next idiot’s of discussion. :rolleyes:

I agree in the fact that some put too much emphasis on whether or not some art is considered traditional, has lineage ect. If that is important to you, great. The things that were important to me;...

How is being content with your training and disagreeing with another's point of view being ignorant? I personally don't see the point in trying to convince someone who's mind is already made up.

The real question you need to ask yourself is why should you care what they naysayer’s on this thread think? As you have seen, no matter what you say or do will change their minds, they are already...

Heh, thanks for clearing that up.

No, I am not kidding. Explain to me how a Taoist, Buddhist , Confucianist , and Shaman would perform the sweep and twist move that we are talking about.

Ug. What does philosophy have to do with the move? Or are you trying to be humorous?

Calm down. I am not talking about faith in religion, and I am not going to disagree with what you stated. I should have stated practices that are more linked to M.A., like meditation, the movement...

Western society has trouble accepting spirituality as a whole. Not just eastern practices look at how people react to those that practice Wicca (Nothing personal if you practice this). If we cannot...

I did not specify a date, just making a statement that the fighting arts were not introduced first to help them with the rigors of monastic life.

I think that I Chin Ching's were introduced to help strengthen their bodies, and as MasterKiller stated, the fighting arts were developed later to defend against bandits, protect their monastery, and...

Unfortunately, this issue has polarized people to the point that if proof was offered up, there will still naysayer’s that will come up with some way to try and discredit it, "I don't believe you",...

By striving for things that others believe to be impossible, humanity has accomplished many amazing things. This lack of looking past what most consider unachievable is why the people of today are...

I agree. Three months is entirely too short of a time for someone to understand all that material. It has taken me over a year to get to third brown, and that is going to class 5 to 6 days a week,...

True, but there are alot of things that don't always work. :p A difference of opinion to be sure, but that is all it is. I am not saying that grappling does not have it's place in a real life...
