Some things I've learned from the kung fu forums...

[Eric Olson]

Inspired by Dave Ross' top ten...

1) If you no longer fight and are old means you never knew how to fight and are a huckster

2) If you were in a fight and it wasn't video taped...it never happened.

3) MMA events are the supreme arbiter of who has fighting skills and who doesn't

4) Only full contact sparring counts as "training"

5) As long as you call what you do MMA it means you have fighting skills. If you call it kung fu, karate, etc. you are a traditional chi wanker who thinks he can blast people with energy from his palms. In essence there are only two categories: chi wankers and MMA athletes.

6) You can only claim to practice martial arts if you devote your entire life to it to the exclusion of everything else. Elite athletes rather than the average person looking to improve their health, safety and fitness are the true yardstick of a martial arts effectiveness.

Feel free to add anything that you've learned...

Too funny -

Good post Eric.

7) forums are filled with shyte talkers

8) You will always find someone who disagrees with you no matter what you have said. When you said, "CMA is bad" and all MMA guys will jump on you, disagree, and argue against you, you will get what you want. Very sad but that may be the only way.

8. if you did MMA before the TV televised the first UFC in 1993, you were doing it all
wrong
9. the MMA board has less MMA people than the kung fu boards
10. you post why you hate TCMA and LOVE MMA on an average of 55 times, all day
and all night but still train MMA 4 hours a day everyday
11. you discredit other abilites and acomplishments cuz you feel ripped off from your
old TMCA teacher
12. you call people frauds cuz you dont like thier semiars but make up excuses when
they invite you to get youre arse kicked.

13) If you don't have 50 You Tube clips your not a real martial artist.

14) If you wear silk PJs you are a LARPer, but if you replace that with kickboxing shorts and a tank top you are an instant bad a**ss

15) You should always be walking around with a broken nose, busted lip, two black eyes, swollen testicles, and a few cracked ribs. Otherwise, you don't do "fo realz" training.

16) Boxing gloves were not used in TMA schools until five years ago.

17) If you say water is wet and you need oxygen to sustain life, David Jameison will still try to argue with you.

19) Ironeagle76 is only 13 inches tall

20) Try to use CMA terms such as 崩(Beng), 抹眉(mǒ méi), 勾手(Gou Shou), ... Since MMA guys don't know what you are talking about, they can't argue against you. Problem solved.
