Making your WC deadly

[AdrianK]

...yea when they say smoking they were alluding to marijuana...

Oh, were we?

But my point was smoking pot is not only illegal but damages your organs.

Semi-legal.

Not as bad as tobacco but it does do damage.

Eh, some studies suggest its worse then tobacco because you hold the smoke in, longer.

Oh in the U.S.A. we call it Pot,Bud,Budda,drove,fiya etc...Chronic is old old word used in the 90's. Kinda of obselete now and days...

You sure know a hell of a lot more names for it then I do. Are you sure you've never smoked?

I am sorry my thread doesn't appeal to you. I was just woundering if anyone discusses,studies or practices some of the deadly techniques. Are do most people just omit them because see them as useless? . . . .

Though I understand your intent we "should" be doing a "martial" (war) art. Hence the thread title was redundant IMO.

In Australia it is called "dope', kind of fitting when one considers this thread.

It is not illegal everywhere. Some jurisdictions allow possession or growth of small amounts for personal use.

And then there is Canada...

Where the legality of pot depends on which judge hears your case.

And where the baseline for simple posession is a ticket (equivalent of a misdemeanor for you americans in the crowd).

How is pot semi-legal

Its legality varies from place to place. Several US states offer medical marijuana cards for the tiniest so-called "disability". Its practically legal cause if you want a card, it doesn't matter what you have, you can get one.

Federally its illegal, so don't smoke in front of a D.E.A agent, but a normal police officer can't arrest you if you have a card.

[SimonM]

Perscription Pot is available in Canada although it is (apparently) more tightly controlled than the USA in that if you don't have glaucoma, epilepsy or terminal stage cancer / aids you aren't likely to get the license.

However a few years back a judge ruled the pot laws to be unconstitutional he gave the federal government a year to introduce new legislation and the government never did. Pot was subsequently decriminalized. Another judge delivered an opposite verdict roughly a year after decriminalization, leading to a de-facto restoration of the previous (possibly unconstitutional) law.

With the situation being as it is if a person is charged for simple posession (and if they chose to contest the ticket - which many people don't) than whether the previous law is upheld largely depends on which judge hears the case.

Please explain what you mean by War art. Many people don't teach Wing Chun that way. They teach it will less emphasize on destructive aggressive force.

So please share why you thought the title was redundant?

The "Wu" in wushu / wugong is what is usually translated as "martial"

However it is more effectively translated as "pertaining to the military"

So wushu becomes skill pertaining to the military...

Or, more poetically martial / war art. Either is effectively as good a translation as the other. Martial has generally been preferred over war in the west.

Except when it is explicitly "War Studies" - as an academic discipline.

Please share some ways to make your Art more deadly?

Oh, So something fictional will make your Art more deadly?

[lkfmdc]

Oh, So something fictional will make your Art more deadly?

Nothing fictional about a very nice Taurus .45 Caliber Handgun to make your sun punching the deadliest it can be.

Guns trump skills anyday of the week
