...we must all be ninjas. Bring me my nacho ninjettes!!! Dang, how many times to I have to say this before I get some service around here?

Lohanhero: Hey now, don't let one bad apple spoil the bushel. Every forum has trollz, but there's plenty here to make up for them.

ngokfei: What you mean, me or you? I'm just turning 30ish, or...

g-w: My analogy works. While music may be subjective, Billboard's top ten is not. It's based on sales. And to tell you the truth, the current popularity of MMA is based on sales too. Right now,...

Trolls hate being trolled. It's like looking in a mirror. If you think you might be a troll, it's always good to look in a mirror. Here in forumland, the mirror is the previous posts. When you...

g_w: There's nothing more mature than conceding defeat. I tried. I let you win. But then you posted after my "last post is the loser" post. So you lost. You wouldn't let me lose. Now I have to...

In this case, last post equals LOSER with a capital L :p . Now I've already conceded my loss. I surrendered at the comment: Seriously how can you discuss more beyond that? So in this thread...

I was going to pick up on KL's beer physique comment, but I can't beat a 1st PhD in pure maths so I concede on the math. But I stick to my swords about one point, traditional techniques = teenage...

Let descend to mathematics.

g-w et al's equation:
octogon/nhb = 'real' fighting
traditional techniques (eagle claw, iron palm, et al) are not seen in the octogon/nhb
therefore traditional...

Of course big guys don't necessarily need martial arts, but that doesn't make martial arts worthless? Quite the contrary. My point is that we all aren't big guys. There's always a bigger guy...

If you take a real look at NHB/octogon fights, you'll notice one thing really quickly. It's all the same body type. It's all huge guys. I was very serious about my comment about teenage girls. ...

On the contrary, I've found that the eyes and throat are rather easy targets to hit. Even if you miss, they tend to draw an over-reaction, which creates an opening. Even when I used to fence and we...

g_w: The answer to your question lies in law enforcement techniques. Look there. We love everyone. It's a Buddhist thing. Well, maybe we don't love the icchantikas, but everyone else is cool,...

The funny thing is that I have a 5 animal article in the works. I'm not sure I can work that line in, given the tone of it, but I will give it a shot. No promises there.

g_w: As for Eagle Claw,...

Love that quote, 5Animals1Path. I may even plaguerize it someday. ;)

SimonM: Nothing gives me more pleasure than hearing that one of our readers is having a grand adventure, especially in...

wukong-zero: There will always be animal styles articles in Kung Fu Tai Chi simply because we're solely dedicated to Chinese styles and that's the nature of the beast. I've been chipping at a...

You can buy the magazine just like everyone else. What do you think pays for this forum that you are using here? If you're *really* serious about your research, investing in our publications should...

We've gone over the whole kung fu vs. BJJ so many times on this forum, but since this one is a bit more specific, I field it once more. Despite the No holds barred claim of many of the fight games...

Dog style for the octogon indeed! We ran a dog boxing article in Shaolin special 2005. It was well received.

It's not the style, it's the person. If you're a dog spirit, then dog boxing would...

We've done some special issues devoted to animal styles, although we haven't done one in a while. Our last one was our July Aug 2003. In it, our copy editor, Gary W. Shockley pondered the...

He called this thread on post #3. Nice forum fu, Mortal1.

Try my monkey style ;)

All newbies are trolls until they prove themselves otherwise. Some veterans are trolls too, but their more entertaining trolls, so we let them live for a while. If you're just a common troll,...
