    Kung Fu

    Fu(king Kung Fu might just have some use... after a night of getting my elbow under guys grabbing my gi, rotating, and getting their back. I'm sure higher-level BJJ guys are doing it. I'm a white belt. All that flow was from the sticking I got from Wing Chun, the mechanics and most of all the thinking, from Master Bond Chan. Why would I just let you grab my gi if my intercepting is so much better than yours? I grab you. You don't grab me. Or in fact, go ahead and grab it. I got something for you.

    Mechanics and flow are everything.

    puff, puff, give man!



    yea, I attribute a lot of stuff to my kung fu training...but, it was the only training I had before '97/'98 (besides rassling)

    so, again, back to the intensity of the training and not the type...if it's good stuff and you train it hard and as realistically as you can, it will pay off elsewhere/everywhere.
    "George never did wake up. And, even all that talking didn't make death any easier...at least not for us. Maybe, in the end, all you can really hope for is that your last thought is a nice one...even if it's just about the taste of a nice cold beer."

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    c'mon - QOS suck-ed compared to Casino Royale; the only good action scene was the bit when they were dangling from the scaffolding (and that was tame compared to the AMAZING "parkour" scene from the opening of Casino), and the opera scene was kinda cool, where he gets all the peeps to give away their ID's; the rest was a banal mix of generic chase scenes, and a totally predictable climax in the Ramada No-where Hotel; overall, it was a total under-utilization of the psychological complexity that Craig is able to bring to the role (I mean, wasn't that the whole point of the "new" bond - no gimmicks, but lots of weltscmertz - now we don't even get that!);


    not that I am opinionated or anything...


    oh, BTW, I agree with Ray - all the taiji / short-hand sticking stuff I have done definitely helps me a great deal as a BJJ noob - instead of me getting tapped out in ~1 minute, it ends up taking 2 or 3...
