Sounds like an exciting day of re-programming, K.C.

TWS, I think you should get off of the SD guys' collective arses. It comes off as total whiney baby stuff. Anyone with either experience or...

I stopped by to unsubscribe to this thread, as it is pretty much retarded, and fills my junk mail addy with ridiculous alerts. Then I read Valla's indictment/manifesto. All I have to say is LO...

TTM seems like he lives in lala land, and is delusional at the very least. Hell, he said that he patterned his life after the Kung Fu character portrayed by David Caradine. Why respect anything he...

Just because you coach with a certain philosophy doesn't make you unique or special. I'm sorry, but you're a little delusional if you think a physical activity like martial arts can teach anything...

I don't want to get involved with the "politics" thing, but I think there is a problem when people take martial arts out of context. It's a hobby and a sport. It's not a path to enlightenment. You...

Looked pretty good, JP. You should post more of those, that one was fun to watch.

sdic,
I knew someone was going to say that, and I dont' agree with you. It's an inneficient way to learn and...

Hey JP. I think at the time, 3 or so years ago, I realized that the closed door instruction thing was even more dubious. It was more thourough and detailed than SD, but equally open to bs. I...

This is an interesting thread, in that it shows a range of thoughts over time. There is a core group of posters on it, and the occasional newbie. Mostly it is the same thing being discussed/argued,...

close this thread...it sux, and the conclusion is SD is what it is. Mods, do your job, please.

regarding that name tai jin...I think the shigong or soo kong is right in that it refers to the creator of the style. However tai jin or tai ren in mandarin refers to tai as in extreme and ren just...

that's pretty good MK, how about this:

There once was a grandmaster with a mullet
Who out of his golden cyborg shot a rocket
His snake style was defeated
As lies were repeated
But there's...

There once was a man from Kent
Who had a dik so long it was bent
When she rolled over
It doubled over
And instead of coming he went.

Yo Golden Tiger, what's up? Hope you and your fam are doing well. I'm here, chillin' like a villain. However, and this is for you REM fans, you can run a carbon date test on this thread, and you...

1. Shaolin-Do obviously produces better people. It has been proven here.

A SD instructor in Texas was recently charged with molesting a younger female student of his. Martial arts are for...

Hello GT, I've been here, but I've been really nice. A while back, I told another guy from Tn. that I would be, so...Anyway, hope you're doing well, GT.

System of Command! It amazes me that people in this country still treat things such as martial arts like someone from a superstitious 3rd world society would. These discussions of SD remind me of...

i was going to reply, but....

*sigh*

Actually, I was saying it is not uncommon (unfortunately). What I left out was "many" so called...instead of "any". IMO, it is turning the other way, but still too much isolationism/cult behavior...

imo, the problem with SD is not uncommon in any other so called martial arts program/style. At the core, they lack any real method to teach skill; weather it's skill in fighting or performing. Even...

If you want a good bjj place to go to, I train here www.bjjboulder.com Amal puts out a lot of quality competitors, and the environment is very friendly. I believe Amal is opening a south Denver...

wow, haven't visited this site for a while, and yet the more things change...

Old Monkey...questions for you out of curiousity:
What do you consider application of techniques from forms?
What do you consider advanced techniques?

Hey JP,
Statements/questions for you: This is completely circular, as it's been talked about before, but it's something I've been thinking about and a common complaint for ex-sd people. That is,...

You know, my biggest criticism of SD in this area is not so much that it is/was called Karate, but that it actually at times look like Americanized Krotty. Forms aside, most of the SD practitioners...

Bluesman,

I think the SD debate here is just one that comes up every once in a while. There have been a lot more SD guys on the forum lately, and this has increased the attention to it. I think...
