Is Shaolin-Do for real?

when i write

insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. - albert einstein

and you respond with some shit about practice, i call that dumb. Clearly the quote is above your paygrade.

ok let me explain it slowly to you. Practice is doing the same thingover and over, basics , forms or bagwork or sparring and expecting to get better. You must not be better or you would have gotten it kc

[kwaichang]

Because different for you would be you getting better. KC

lol. Like I said, clearly the quote is waaaay above your paygrade.

AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS

is key to understanding the quote. How fucking dumb are you? For real, WTF???

At no point does that convey that repetition itself is a bad thing. Are you getting this yet?

If you are doing an exercise and you are getting great results, then you should keep doing it.
What would be dumb is expecting different results after putting in enough time to notice the difference. It's either helping you or its hurting you. If it is hurting you and you keep doing it in some fucked up hope that things will just change, you are a retard.

Here's another reason why what you said was retarded. This one may be too abstract for you though, but I will try it once. Ok:

There are many variables in any exercise. If you change, the equation changes. If you aren't changing and the exercise itself remains the same then the equation remains the same.

So basically, if you are bigger, faster and/or stronger, the whole equation changes.

I can't believe you need this explained??? Actually, never mind, keep thinking you understand, it's more fun for me.

Honestly, I'd be happy to oblige because there are a few vids I've seen that I think are really nice. Unfortunately I don't have any kind of permission to post this stuff, so it's left to whatever is already public domain.

in good faith I will post one this week end, if I can figure it out. I hope that your criticism of it will be Civil and honest with no Bias due the history of your 5 Animal form. KC

You are not understanding the context of the quote from Einstein.
If I may:
Taking your example of practice-
Insanity would be practicing MA over and over and getting better at MA BUT expecting to get better at swimming.

Sorry that is not what I get from that statement. KC

[hskwarrior]

you don't eat an apple expecting to taste an orange is what that insanity pic is stating.

but frank, when i eat an apple, it taste like oranges.


btw can i have ur permission to teach the five animal form in wombat combat?

the results of training are getting better, with side effects of injury here and there. so if you keep training, you will keep getting those same results. to expect different results is not logical.

oh but just to be a stinker:


Who first said the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results?:

The answer isn't really known but current consensus is that it came from the author Rita Mae Brown in her book Sudden Death on Pg. 68 from 1983.

Quote: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results."

Most people will attribute this quote to Albert Einstein but there is no evidence to suggest that he made this statement.

This quote "Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results" appears in the Basic Text of Narcotics Anonymous which was copyrighted in 1982 and later published in 1983. It is found on page 11 of the final "Review Form" which was distributed to the fellowship in November of 1981. It is found on page 23 of the current sixth edition.
