    Pot and Martial Arts? Opinions anyone?

    Okay, Im sure theres a few cops and parents on here, just as well as stoners. So... Any opinions on the affects of marijuana to kung fu or training? or ability? (please note and take into consideration the word "opinion")

    Doing taiji forms while high is fun, but worthless as a training endeavor. Pretty much the same as drawing or painting while high.

    So what's your take on the creativity aspects while high? true or bull?

    I think pot CAN be, but isn't always, helpful for creative inspiration. You definitely don't want to rely on it. And I'm unconvinced creativity has any place in MA (this goes back to my old hobby-horse about the difference between martial arts and expressive arts.)

    Budokan -

    Are you kidding? This is way less prevalent and annoying than tma vs. mma threads. Not that that is saying much...

    Yep, or the "Bruce Lee Sucks" threads. You're right. I apologize.

    Maybe we could combine them all into one, like with the iraq threads.

    "Pothead Bruce Lee sucks because his traditional martial arts is helpless before modern MMA" or something.

    Bruce Lee wasn't a traditional martial artist.

    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    hehe.
    good to see there werent any hasty generalizations made. I for one do agree that it definately has a creative aspect - I produce hip hop and jungle, breakbeats - forms are also more fun...
    Dont get me wrong, forms are fun anyways...

    Pot is fun,
    Training is fun
    Pot + training = not fun

    For training, especially realistic training, you need a clear head. Not a cloudy one. Pot leads to memory lapses so if your high there is a good chance you wont remember anything youlearned while high.

    Just train sober then you can blast yourself when you get home.

    I always wondered why a student cant afford to pay his dues on time, but can afford pot at $400 an ounce. guess its priorities,,hmmmmmm?

    er... I tend to be blown quite a bit... whilest posting... ect... So I beg to differ - In a real life situation, chances are Im going to be stoned. I may as well spar and practice high because most fights around here occur because people are drunk at a party - lets face it - at a party I wont be sober, and neither will most the people on this forum.
    Anyone ever tried drunken boxing forms drunk?
