When given the choice between big business and big government, choose big business. Big business never threw millions of people into gas chambers, but big government did.

The guard pass that invites the triangle is still in the Gracie "bible" written by Helio.

There is only one "bible" of GJJ.
So it's an old book that was never revised.
There are VARIATIONS of that technique that do work, btw. Also, it's ONE technique, if you can find me a TMA/CMA style with only ONE ineffective/antiquated technique or just one more ineffective BJJ technique I would be quite surprised.

I think it was revised, l'll check to see when.
And yes, variations work and done Correctly ( hand lower/on hip, not on the lower chest) it does work, though there are far better alternatives.
As for ineffective and antiquated techniques in TMA, well...that is a whole new thread.

Isn't there an actual "useless techniques" thread ??
wow - go away for a few days and come back to some serious chastisement!
most consider me spry and entertaining...
posting someone's own words as an indicator of their perspective would be more like character suicide...
ummm - yeah - and your point is? or is this just you displaying a flair for the obvious?
is there anyone who is surprised that you spend time on that sort of forum? can I see a show of hands please?
I am fine with it; to my knowledge I have not actually re-started the discussion: I simply used it as a means to verify what most were already thinking...
when people I know are wasting their time, I like to do my civic duty and explain to them why they are getting no where; and I didn't derail anthing - I chimed in only after signs of evident disdain were being shown by those engaged with you
dude, drop the persecution complex - as I stated clearly during our original exchange, I am not in any way shape or form give a rat's a$$ if you see things from my perspective or not; you have your perspective on things, that's fine: keep it; but if you think it's logical and reasonable have the opinion of, for example, using "chaos / sigil magic" as a means of maintianing practitioner accountability, if people happen to think that's more than a bit out there, don't be surprised...
no, I dropped it - and as far as I can tell, I have not resumed it; and BTW, spare me the hyperbole - "drove" me to it? it's so dramatic...
whoa, easy there Narcissus: let's not get carried away here...
I'm moaning and complaining?
you know, it's a good point - so I actually went and looked at some of those threads we both posted on where I didn't have anything to say, and it was for several reasons: first off, while what you posted was usually pretty out there, it wasn't making claims beyond your own personal experience, so I really didn't have any interest in responding (you'll notice, the first time I actually repllied to you was when you tarting talking about "healing" others with qi); second, pretty much every time you post, some one else replied with the degree of incredulity you've no doubt come to expect: adding to it would have been redundant;
oh my little daffodil: you screwed me up? and now I am following you around? tut tut tut...so let's get this straight: if you post on a thread on a forum that I read regularly, and I happen to read that thread and happen to see that you posted on it that's following you around, and if I post in response, I do it because I am screwed up? okaaaay...gotcha
oh I'm sorry: I didn't realize that I needed an invitation from someone else before I could post something
and here I thought the issue was consuming you daily...
so, if someone prompts me then it's ok to post whatever I want? o, hmmm, let's see - would anyone here be amenible to that?
oh - now it's time to be serious! hey look - I am sitting up straighter in my chair now! wow - you really can have that sort of effect through the internet!
one more time, just to be clear - if someone "prompts" me, then it's ok, right?
you really are a dramatic sort - I can almost hear the ominous mucis in the background...BTW, since I responding on this thread, is that stalking? or if I respond on only some of other ones you post on, is that stalking? or if I kythe my etheric body into your auric field while you are on-line, is that stalking? I think we need a clearer definition in this case...
yeah, yeah, it hurts you more than it hurts me, etc; BTW, if you think that this is stalking and harrassment, you really need to get out more; and as for derailment, I would ask you to provide a single example of how the threads got derailed as a result of what I posted
now this is the really funny part: you are actually dictating to me what I am allowed what I am not allowed to do on the forum based on whether you like it or not? and if I do something that you don't like, you are going to tell on me to the mods? well hey, guess what: go right ahead - report away Schmendrake; in fact, why don't you report me now and save yourself the trouble of having to endure more of my so-called "character assasiation"? because now let me be clear to you: if I feel like I want to reference our previous discussion at any point on any thread, I will do so; and if you report me, I really don't care; if Gene or someone else who's opinion I actually do respect tell me that I am out of line, then I will give it due consideration and I will alter my activities accordingly if I decide that they make a good point; but if I do it certainly won't be because of what you post;
yes, you could just stop posting your psycho-babble - but we know that's not going to happen, so actually, it might just kep going for all we know...
how will we all sleep at night?
I guess when you speak from experience it's easier to ignore the theoretical BS...
So, you think that him once again trying to save face superficially with lies, half-truths, distortions and flame baiting means I'm the one owned? Hell, he can't even be honest with himself about what his feelings and intentions are.
Uggh. You know, I was willing to defend you before to others even when they were all ganging up on you and saying this and that about you, but I can't do it anymore. Knifefighter, you are now on my do not reply to list. It's a sad thing that you've let yourself fall in with the rest of the rabble in the thread. You started off okay when I first saw you on the board, but you've inched your way over to them and their din in this thread. And you followed it up by agreeing full on with his ridiculous statements and antics.
This is unfortunate for you. To fall, like this. Perhaps you've taken one too many hits to the head. I don't know, but I was expecting better from you.
This is my last reply to you.
save face...to whom, exactly, have I lost any? please, I invite anyone to read our history of exchanges in its entirety and point out where this has occurred...as for lies (lies, lies, yeah-eh), 1/2 truths and distortions, I ask you to provide one single example of where I have done anything except give links to previous discussions or post verbatim examples of what you wrote; as for flame baiting, I don't even know what that means, but again, I'd like to see an example of that as well
yes, I;m sure you could enlighten us all with your psycho-spiritual profiling skills - what exactly is it that drives my vitriol laden posts? why am I so obsessed with you? the answers will not doubt be illuminating...
I'm just gonna let Dale answer to this little gem, seeing as he is now no longer under your protection
the list so far:
cjurakpt
LKFMDC
unkokusai
Knifefighter
but I think that,if he's really going to be inclusive, he should add on all the other people just on this thread alone who have expressed their opinions about his posts:
of course, there are more than a few other examples of this sort of thing on other threads, but let's just stick to this one (besides, digging them up would probably be interpreted as some sort of escalation and then Gene would get all these weird e-mails and he'd have to interrupt eating nacho cheese sauce off of one of the ninjettes to deal with them, and in his ire might start indiscriminantly dealing out crotch kicks, so that's not a good thing...)
welcome to the hoi polloi
inched? I'd call it a full-out run...
I actually paid him to do that; like I did everyone else; your are right about me
my lord - it's almost Biblical in proportions!
what's your excuse?
really KF - first putting a magazine stand in front of a library door to keep it open when you were a varsity letterman wrestler back in high school serving detention on a Saturday, now this...
oh, what a lucky man he was...

Knifefighter, you wouldn't know a reverse transcriptase protein inhibitor from a progressive antedeneride dendrite.
Go back to your cave.
Let the big boys talk. You go meddle with your crayons.
