It is terrible news, I saw pantera twise when I was younger, they were THE metal band at the time in my opinion.. RIP.. The gunman was killed there and then aswell, so they'll probably never know the motive :S

I'd say its down to opinion for the most part, try both and see what YOU think

Hey everyone! Recently I visited a website (4th edit: fussy forum settings guyz ) and have joined their folding team. Basically your computer becomes part of a distrobuted computing network that is used to help carry out scientific work that requires massive ammounts of work. You can tell the program exactly how much of your system resources it can use, ideal for stopping it from slowing you down while your working on the machine, or setting it higher while your away from it.. This to me seems like a very excellent idea, your computer can be helping solve massive scientific problems and calculations while your not even at it!! Theres a variety of different projects out there, one of the most interesting ones that Ive seen is the Folding project of stanford university.. http://folding.stanford.edu Could you be putting your idle resources to better use?

I want to train with nunchaku, any recommended videos?
Spin replied to Croy's topic in Martial Arts Weapons
Sadly I dont think you can find it online, however next time I speak to Steve I may ask him If I can sell his vidz on my site.. I'll catch up with you about it when I know more.. Have Fun -
Oh yeah, Python, I improvised flashy techniques for around seven years, eventually it gets boring.. Thats about the time I decided to start learning how to beat stuff with them
-
that is remarkably similar to how I feel about things I feel the same with my studies of computers, I'll NEVER run out of stuff to learn !!! Us DMA's love google too (Never heard of the Digital Martial Arts? you have now )

I want to train with nunchaku, any recommended videos?
Spin replied to Croy's topic in Martial Arts Weapons
just posted that on another thread, seemed appropriate to post it again.. Thats the best video that Ive seen so far, I'm not sure you can purchase it online though, well unless I persuade Steve to let me sell em on my site.. -
Shorinryu Sensei its almost like I never see a thread in this forum where your NOT bi***ing about flashy nunchaku techniques (I'm just playing, please dont take offense, I appreciate your efforts to enlighten us kidz) I have recently started to train more offensive techniques and methods with nunchaku, and I'd like to thank everyone who has offered their advice on practical nunchaku technique, rest assured that if you throw enough s**t at a wall some of it will stick As for instruction video's, I'd have to recommend Steve Powell's "Secrets of nunchaku".

hack em
-
I'd love to see the sai kata vidz, where did you find them??
-
Thats the plan
-
No offense taken, I know little about realistic weapon training, so Im guessing you know best.

Thanks for the replies guys.. I didnt mean to show any disrespect by the way, my way with words can get a bit , well, I dont know the word, but I didnt intend disrespect I'll have to leave this thread for a little while, as important and delicate things have come up which require my attention, and Id rather leave the thread for a while then come back and reply in depth than just bang a quick reply up and forget about it... rest assured I shall return to it !

Poi technique will be a good foundation for learning double nunchaku, most poi patterns can be utilised with double nunchaku

right, im getting a bit bored of people here (and other places) disrespecting flashy nunchaku use. I primarily regard the nunchaku as a toy, and enjoy 'performing' with the nunchaku to entertain myself and others.. It seems everytime nunchaku are mentioned on a martial arts forum people pipe up bitching about how pointless 'that flashy stuff' is.. Now, let me put the nail in this coffin, your wrong, you lose, go home.. I have practiced nunchaku for 7 years now, improvising my own flashy techniques and stealing moves from the net and from friends. recently I started training combat techniques.. Heres the punchline.. In the classes Ive taken, I learn MUCH quicker than the other students BECAUSE im already familiar with nunchaku.. SOOOOO that defeats any argument about flashy nunchaku techniques not being beneficial, as ANYTHING you learn with a weapon, practical or not, will increase your familiarity with the weapon and make for better foundations on which to build a competent fighting style.. True along with self taught technique may come bad habits, which are then harder to break out of once you start 'real' training.. But Id rather be familiar with a weapon, have that headstart and have a few bad habits, than start learning from scratch with nothing to build on. I'm not trying to start an argument, more put a point across and maybe vent a little frustration.. I'm damn good at what I do, its not easy and its taken a long time to develope my skills.. but to the stricter martial artists, what I do is still a joke.. I concur, it may not be martial art, it maybe more circus skills, but its fun... thats what matters to me.. Plus it beats sitting infront of *insert_games_console_name_here* like a vegetable..

dude! relax!! */me distrobutes the valium*

all fixed now {AGAIN} lol

Again my site is dead, hopefully this will be relativly temporary.. However soon it shouldnt happen at all, as I intend to build several mirrors, so the site is always online somewhere

Do you prefer the book or the film? It's a tough one to call, but I think that I ever-so-slightly prefer the book. The movie is an amazing one, though. I went to see it 4 times in a week when it came out at the cinema! Its a close call, but I'd have to say the book.. Not sure why but I much prefur reading a book to sitting infront of a TV or cinema screen

What NON-Fiction Book are you reading at the moment?
Spin replied to BlueDragon1981's topic in General Chat
I'm currently reading "Teach yourself C++", not exactly a thrilling read but the ends justify the means I suppose.. I'll be a hardcore programmer one day I dont remember who mentioned The Art of Deception by mr Mitnick, but yeah, great read!! -
