Reasons why Kung Fu will be endlessly debated

[Northwind]

Although I wanted to dodge this entire idiotic thread...I did want to pop in on this sub-topic that is getting out of hand: technique vs. principle.

Principles of TCMA are not all poetic deep things...Some principles are fairly straight to the point, yet still encompassing a great many actual body movements and can be talked about and discussed. Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water here.

OK folks.......the demonstration on how to deal with Trolls has ended.

Thank you David for partcipating with a few more lame and impotent retorts. I know it wasn't that difficult for you appear impotent.

The point of this little demonstration everyone, was to show how to deal with Trolls without the need for over moderation by an adolescent Peac0ck with delusions of grandeur. One who criticizes and bans others for doing what he does himself and then flaunts himself, as if driving the forum into mediocrity is some great achievement! You all know who I mean!

You see, all the problems we had with Trollls could have been dealt with by simply NOT RESPONDING TO THEM! We didn't need over moderation if everyone would have just taken responsibility for themselves.

I mean, COME ON we train to hurt other people, which involves being hurt ourselves in training and in real life encounters, but some people here can't handle having their feelings hurt. This should be part of your training. If you can't take ridicule from internet nobodies, maybe you shouldn't be training in the martial arts in the first place. Or if you recognize your emotional weakness then use public ridicule from dimwits on the internet as a means of training. Use it to learn to not care what others think.

Personally I don't care why other people train. They can dance, they can believe in internal magic, they can think BJJ is the cats meow. If they get something out of it good for them. But if you want to be a tough guy, strong enough to fight people physically then man up a bit, because if your emotional state is so fragile you cannot ignore someone you think is harrassing you or insulting your style or sifu or lineage history, etc, you are too weak to believe you are any kind of martial artist.

In the famous words of bawang.......DO MORE SQUATS!!!

Judging by Scott's response, I'm guessing there were a few recent posts that turned the tide of the topic a bit and so I sounded rather silly. Sorry then :P

No, no, just the usual thread side bar!
