sweetness in action
ok, since this thread sorta turned into a thread about qishou I'll add this sparring anecdote from tonight.
I train jujitsu(japanese style not brazilian) with a local karate school. Good bunch of guys, no egos and they train hard. Best local option for mixing it up with some fighters.
so, I goes there tonight after work to see who's around and end up doing some sparring with one of their brown belts. He and I were the only people around.
ok(here's where the qishou comes in) we're sparring around and i'm in a right lead and he's in a right lead and w/o thought I pretty much do the move right before the armbar that is followed by the sidekick at the very end of the run.
I take my lead (right) hand and bridge to his lead (right) hand.
I stick pretty good and he shuffles back to try and back out.
I follow with some quick shuffleing and then take the full left step forward
and exchange my left hand for the right and jam his arm to his ribs
and follow up with the right palm to the face.
at this point I added a foot sweep and down he went.
it was only after that I said to myself 'hey, that wuz dat move from qishou'
"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"
