F-ck you and Noam. He's a broke Nietzsche and Nietzsche was a poor mans Kirkegaard. But to hel- with the existentialism. He holds nothing on true geniuses like Baruch de Spinoza or Frank Tipler. In...

Thank you for the definition, and no they are not sociopaths per se, but they do have sociopathic tendencies. If you think that sociopathy entails a lack of empathy or sympathy you are again correct...
People like sensationalism, other's misery and gratutious idiocy. It's makes their miserable lives seem less drastic. Mankind has proven that ****t ever since forever.
People who fight for the...
If you are weight training for size you use heavy weight with 6-10 reps max and 3-4 sets. If you are training for definition you use lighter weight and more reps (12-15), 3-5 sets. Endurance is...
Holy ****!!! I ain't seen the Boo-Yaa Tribe in years. Real hardcore Cali Samoan gangbangers and M.C.s. Actually had a nice cut in the early 90s. Them cats can squab for real. You better be rollin'...
Don't you mean Naihanchi? If you only know the diluted Tekki version then you will get very little from its practice.
If you guys need any info on Okinawan kata just ask the Okinawan yudansha,...
You must be joking with that guy in the pics!
Your homeys sound like a band of roaming f a g s who were molested and beat by their dads and uncles too much. The dude in that picture looks like the...
Thanks for all the responses especially from Gene and Wall. If it works for you then it's a good MA, regardless of drift or origin. I don't doubt that a WuShu champ can kick ass, even a common thugs...
That's called Popping, the element of so-called breakdancing or "b-boying" that is missing from todays breakin which usually contains very little of the rhythmic aspect of breakdancing (popping)....
No, it's watered down and morphed Shotokan, a kid combat SPORT.
Is Shaolin Wu Shu TKD? I bet a lot of their kicking techs are.
I'm an Orthodox Shorin Ryu guy. I feel that the Shaolin influence...
I don't think anyone was made to have their head bludgeoned continuously for many minutes. My theory is that those with superiority complexes are adept at getting the "sheep" to beat, compete and...
I agree with you wholeheartedly about Mr. Johnson.
I also feel that if reparations can't be paid to the ancestors of African-American slaves, Affirmative Action should be made a Constitutional...
It's been some time since I've posted here. So "hello" to those of you who remember me.
Gene is that Shaolin you spend so much time on the real Shaolin or did real Shaolin relocate to places like...
Is kicking your own ass, or killing your own ass, the kind of training one needs to preserve his/her life? Sounds like Nominal Budo to me.
JP said: "...as well as ANY TMA school"? Uhh, a little all-encompassing if you axe me. If you want to be particular, you can say that your statement means Shaolin Do $ucks, because most MAs,...
It is true that most fights end up on the ground. Probably something like 80% of them. I don't know about the > than 90% range often cited by ground gamers. If you added the fact that often the...
Hahaha! I done told you idiots! You're getting took! Ya' done been hoodwinked, bamboozled! They've stolen your minds and souls. You can't even see the truth when it slaps you in the face. If half of...
Well, more than metabolism. Yeah, I get criticized for being right a lot ;)! I could give you my entire soliloquy of what some in theoretical physics, modern medicine and so on think it might be....
I saw Michael McDonald (in a K-1 bout) kick a dude in the neck with his toes using a high front kick. I don't know if that was an intentional thing, but homeboy grabbed his neck, began to lean on the...
I have a friend at the University of Houston Med. School who is currently under a $300,000 NIH grant to study the efficacy of pressure point therapy (from TCM) on healing, pain relief and other...
I have to totally agree with Sev'. Having 50% of your arsenal taken away is never good. Another couple of things to look at. One, you can't protect that lead leg as well from a single-leg takedown....
Yeah it worked in this instance. Maybe that's because, although it resembles a street fight, the truth is the UFC is still a sporting event, albeit with very liberal rules. The reverse punch has...
Yeah, been training and doing school stuff. Don't get me wrong. I love Isshin ryu, and totally dig the idea of mixing Goju and Shorin. I just know from Shorin experience that kata such as Gojushiho...
Fukien White Crane is the style of Chuan Fa which influenced Okinawan karate the most. Many of the principles are seen in Shorin Ryu and Okinawan Goju Ryu. For example, the most advanced kata in...
Emmit is great, but Barry was greater.
Priest Holmes, San Antonio, Texas (big ups!), that's all I gots to say. He IS and WILL be better than Billy Simms, when it's all said and done.
