Pretty cool post there LokHop,
I like a lot of what you said about Wu De, except the part about trust.... Doubt is the mother of the scientific method and its what allows us to exceed. If you trust your teacher implicitly you will only ever get close to his level. If you doubt him and seek better answers and methods you will exceed past him. Even if Zhang San Feng himself was teaching me I would still question his method.
Stereotypes are off course not true in all cases, but there is always some truth to them, and thats why they exist. I would say in my experience that anyone who excels at something does not conform to the stereotype. But I would say I beleive that there is a division between the type of people who do MMA and those who do TCMA. Off course the majority of people do not conform to this, but enough do to make it noticeable. Tongue in cheek as your comment was there is an element of truth.
Having been exposed to BOTH TMA and SMA ( Sport MA) I can say this:
BOTH have their noble warriors and BOTH have their larping *******s and NEITHER has a monopoly on either.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
Interesting thing about humility, once you realize you have it, you lose it.
This.
There is an inherent contradiction in posting about lofty ideals such as humility, honor and respect, then immediately proceeding to flame someone on another thread with profane insults, egotistical self promotion and outright threats.
An often over looked but no less vital part of 武得; the posting on public forums of pornography. Lots of pornography.

Wtf is a paradyne? One of these?
Hung Sing Boyz, we gottit on lock down

Bruh we thought you knew better
when it comes to head huntin, ain't no one can do it better
"C.) the martial art butterfly, cowards who lack dedication, fortitude, backbone, character, morality never stuck with any system more than a few months. A little JKD here, a few dog brothers bruises there, some bodies in motion cardio kick boxing brewed up with the pathetic aping of the good old BJJ. The biggest belly laugh is these low level skill less wannabes hanging off of the formidable Gracie nut hairs claiming greatness via proxy. History has shown us its share of great tough men who go into the world and rip out a place in the sun. Then their spoiled children who knowing only the good life matriculate into useless spineless full of noise all bark no bite shadows of their progenitors."
That's god**** poetry....

forgot to take his meds guys... and his therapist couldn't meet with him last night so he's on his "blame everyone else rant today".

It is fans who make the most noise.
Football players don't say and do the outrageous things their fans do.
MMA fighters are like Tradiitonal fighters. A fighter is a fighter after all. They really don't engage too much in the kind of vitriol we all bathe in over here at KFM with it's constant ruckus of trollshido jerks vs Kung Fu hippies. lol
At least half the group belongs here and understands some of the subject matter.
Meanwhile, the other half is waiting to shout at their tv during the next ufc televised spectacle! woot.
the more things change, the more they stay the same as they ever were.
as for you guys going on the hardest and the loudest about character development, it is not hard to see in many of your posts that you have the least amount of that and perhaps could use some instruction in how to be tactful, how to show a little respect towards a differing viewpoint, how to be polite and so on, because it is glaringly obvious that this has not been instilled in you.
complain as you will. Meanwhile, I am going to practice my traditional, deep and meaningful chinese martial arts.
It is easy to show and teach how to fight or how to kill
it is not easy to teach ethics or moralities.
your personalities and characters are part of your upbringing from parents, families, relatives, friends since kidhood.
it is easy to teach how to fish
it is not easy to teach "catch and release"
that is why some peep will fish without lure and hook and with only a stick and a line

teaching morals and culture for money lol what r u guys scientologists?
