Why all the peeing on each other?

[TaiChi-IronPalm]

There is SOME good discussions on these forums, but it seems the majority is peeing matches about who's lineage is better, who has the real Kung Fu, who has taiji, who doesnt, forms are crap, on and on. Does the Japanese or Korean MA community do this? Not as much for sure, are we all this insecure about our art, the art that most others decended from? Every day on here there is some sort of peeing match. Cant we all just come together to advance our art?

Dude, not wanting to pee on your head or anything....but you're like the 8 millionth guy to post that sentiment on an internet forum.

[BoulderDawg]

Agreed.

I don't think it really matters who you study under or if the lineage goess back 3,000 years.

Personally I don't know enough about other forms to criticize anyone. However even if I did I would not consider it proper to do so.

[Songshan]

Unfortunately that is just the nature of human beings.

[jethro]

I think everybody in the whole world should just start fighting each other. Let's get it on!

[Minghequan]

I agree with Songshan ... its the nature of the beast. That said, we should strive to rise above such things and simply treat each other with mutual respect.

[jethro]

I say everybody should just go out and beat the holyhell out of eachother. And why do youthink people are pizing all over eachother, cause it is the internet, thats the biggest reason, and casue it's a kung fu site. SO of course we think of fights. It is just absolutely retarded. SO instead of posting it, I say we all go hand to hadn with eachother and last one standing wins. No weapons aloud, just liek enter teh dragon

In college days, I always won peeing contests.

Just like an energized bunny, going and going.

Sometimes we had beer drinking and water melon eating contests, too.

I won those matches, too.

After those events, I probably would go for a long time, too.

The longest in duration and distance wise.

tea drinking would make you go a lot, too.

My reasons for the BS:

1) Anyone can register and participate in this forum

2) We are all, for the most part, anonymous

3) Most trouble makers can say things here that they would never say to someone's face or even in a normal conversation......a big incentive if youre crapped on in the real world......... "I hate the world because I'm not accepted" kind of thing.

4) Where else can you talk s.hit and never be called on it......I'm this, I'm that

I think mature serious people go about their lives and maybe have a few normal conversations here. It's the ones who have no respect or can't cut it in the real world that vent (anonymously) on a public forum. It's all they have.

1. If you post some info and say what you think;

try not to step on other's toes.

2. if you disagree, just say what you think other wise.

try not to put down other's posts.

3. some truce or neutrality may be reached, if not, just ignore and start another topic.

Good advice, I notice you publish book on BaJi, I have just begun study of this particular art and am quite impressed with it. Is it not a rare style in the west?

The manuscript is on the backlogs of the printing department.

It may take a few more weeks before I receive the first hardcopy.

Ba Ji is popular in Taiwan, northern China and northeastern China.

Dun know much about its popularity in the west.
