    Unhappy Interesting to watch the slow death of the forum

    Just thinking out loud
    it's like looking at a car crash , you know you should turn away , but ,,,,,,,,,,, you just can't help but to keep watching
    If the truth hurts , then you will feel the pain

    Do not follow me, because if you do, you will lose both me and yourself....but if you follow yourself, you will find both me and yourself

    Hey Ernie,

    You are going to make me cry , You got any ideas on how to keep it going and make it better. Or is it a done deal?

    MARTIAL ARTS: It is not rocket science, if you are smart, seek out a good instructor and work hard for 10 years on basics you might just start to get good.

    The best thing you can do for yourself, to get good; is find a good instructor, that had a good instructor and is willing to teach you. Then find a great place to practice, ON YOUR OWN; EVERYDAY!

    What good is martial arts, for you; if you do not have loyalty?

    Yeah, it's pretty much reached the point around here where posting has become pointless (for me at least). Kind of a shame.

    You guys can't seriously be getting bored with incredibly long and repetitive discussions about theoreticians, awareness, fighting grapplers, awareness, the need for sparring, awareness, jings, awareness, the Cheung/Boztepe fight and other happenings two decades ago, awareness, WC in MMA and other events ten years old, awareness, ...

    Bit slow aren't you!?

    But more on thread... that's why I only like technical or training discussions. Everything else is accusations and presumption.

    Even with the technical stuff, on the main board I've read a couple of different 'I do it this way - how do you do it?' threads which would just dissolve into a lineage argument over here...

    Doesnt help that WCers are some the most humourless, pompous, up-emselves ***tards on the planet! ... Enema anyone!?

    Yep! Even when one tries to start a more "technical" thread to get away from the typical posts you see here.....it quickly gets labeled "theoretical" (used as a slur) or gets shot down from an avenue one doesn't expect. It seems we have a few "regulars" each with some kind of "agenda" that gets pushed over and over. People get tired of it. Forum members go away for awhile and then come back to see the same old things being discussed. So they figure "what's the point?" and stop coming. When someone does make an effort to discuss or show something new, rather than receiving encouragement and constructive comments it is more likely that they come under attack and heavy criticism. That sure doesn't encourage people to go out on a limb and post their ideas or put up videos.

    Thumbs up Speaking Of The Death Of A Forum

    I'm not talking about this forum.It still seems to be doing OK.The forum that has just about died (and rightfully so) is the "vingtsun.com.hk/forum".That forum used to be so active until the forum started publishing everyones IP address.Then the trolls flew away.It was funny to watch.This forum is 1000 times better than that one.

    The reality is that some of these Japanese martial arts really do work, while the Chinese martial arts seem to be almost pure mythology. If I'm wrong, one has to wonder why a country of over a billion people has not been able to bring forth a single MMA competitor of note.
    Maybe because with a billion people they don't need to go outside of the country and do MMA.

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.
