why we train.

a soup with no spice is bland indeed...

[David Jamieson]

calling bread "soup" doesn't change the fact that it is bread.

[uki]

But I wouldn't call cooking martial arts.

i must beg to differ. finding yourself a respected cook of sorts can lead you to areas of blind trust... with the knowledge of medicinal, edible, and poisonous plants, along with mushrooms, one can become extremely proficient in an area of martial arts that tends to be ignored... opponents can be eliminated via the natural activity of eating... a few sprinkles of amanita virosa can ensure a whole months worth of pain and agony while the liver and kidneys cease to function due to the inhibition of RNA synthesis...

While stretching ones head can bring new ideas. Not all of them can be applied with readiness unless it is a scripted premise.

scripted premise is not martial arts.

[SoCo KungFu]

LMAO !
That deserves this:

**** Ronin, you always seem to top yourself don't you. Hmm hot chick AND bubble wrap! That's just more fun than god should allow haha

[Ray Pina]

I think Uki's back yard seems mad chill and spacious.

Stretching ones head exposes ones neck.

Uki the more I read from you the more I am of the opinion that you do not think before you type... at all.

Knowlege of poison is not a worthy part of martial arts. Poison is the tool of weaklings and (watch for it Dale) cowards.

And you know that I don't use that term lightly... in fact I reserve it for precisely two types of people: abusers of women and children and poisoners.

[sanjuro_ronin]

Poisons...*shakes head*
Silly kids playing with things they shouldn't.
I say kids in regards to the mental development.
Many old time MA had poison as a sub-system, the real ninjutsu schools come to mind, but it was dishonorable then as it is now.
One can make it part of ones knowledge base for many reason, knowing about poisons allows one to know about the cures.
Nevertheless, to easy to be abused.
Of course the net is full of information if one chooses to look for it.
Still, poisons are truly the "weapon" of the coward.

[David Jamieson]

ninja were often hired by samurai to do things that were dishonourable.

ninjas were the dirty deeds done dirt cheap guys of their time.

real face on skeelz were the territory of samurai.

ninja were like low class scum back stabbers.

nowadays they are fantasy dress up characters at play camps where everyone gets to wear a hallowe'en costume and pretend they are deadly. There ain't a military in the world that really bothers with any of their stuff.

true story.

True Story,
I once was about to kill a Ninja but I recalled that only a ninja can kill a ninja so I let him live, just in case anyone would think me a Ninja.
That kind of shame would cause me to commit seppuku !!

[Kevin Huang]

Some people (i.e. myself) just HAVE to train.

We can't necessarily explain why.

[golden arhat]

to protect myself

to pretect those i love

or as throwdown puts it

"for myself for my friends for my family, forever i'l take this to the bitter end."
