when an arrow hits you in the arm instead instead of asking questions like were the arrow came from, who shot it and why just remove the arrow and treat the wound ~ the buddha "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." ~ albert einstien "He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." ~ albert einstien nationalism is an infantile disease.it is the measles of mankind ~ albert einstien

i'm with you all the way on this. any scientist will tell you the only reason for skin colours is varying levels of potection from the sun. to be prejudist against someone for the fact that they have evolutionary traits is just sad.

does any bodey know a good way to prctise techniques and groups of techniques to makke them as fast as possible and still have power and co-ordination.

recently i saw an extract from the tao te ching by lao tzu and thought that it seemed interesting so began looking for english translations of it and i was wonering if anyone here had read it(i believe thhat i also saw that someone had quoted it in there signiture). it seems that there are alot of translations of it out there so i was wondering if any of them had lost any meaning or if they are jus different ways of saying the same thing(they all look similar). can any one recomend a good translation of it please.

i've heard recently about this and i thick it is some kind of exercise syste but i am not sure can anybody tell me what it actualy does for you and how effective it realy is.

corny but still amusing

i once did a mile and a half on a tredmill in under 9 minutes but i dont know about 1 mile

about three inches from the ground

male 16

does any body know when the new series starts in england.

i've noticed that recntly i have been getting some ains in my lower back and i was wondering if this was anything to do with over stretching. if i sit down on the floor with my legs out together in front of me i can put my chest don to my knees so is this to far or is it because i have done it to quikly as i have anly been training for about 9 months or is it not relaed to stretching.

my teacher often refers to a hung-gar practitionar as a hung-gar

there is certainly some grappling in hung-gar mostly stand up joint locks but also some take downs and some stuff on ground fighting but i havent been training for long so i am not exactly an expert on the subject.

i cant speak for most styles but in hung-gar we do alot of foor arm conditioning because our blocks require it also there are things like iron shirt and iron head etc so wouldnt they count as conditioning.

i thought that the word martial ment something to do with war so wouldnt they all be designed for combat?

tell me about it i live in england as well and it seems that there is quite a large problem with thugs at the moment there known as CHAV's were i live dont know about were you live though also you will have probably seen on the news about schools becoming violant recently like the girl being slashed with the razor blade across the face several times in the class room.

Kung Fu guys tend to be very flashy but have no real striking power. Tomo not to be offensive or anything but this is a missconception often caused by bruce lee movies that all kung-fu is silly high flasy kicks just to look good but in actual fact the martial arts in the movies are wushu just being called kung-fu most of the kicks that we train are low usualy no higher than the stomach

oh no i'm the only person holding a pad and he wants to demonstrate a kick, time to be united with the ground.

that was funny but it did contradict itself by saying that kata was preformed by people who did not like spparring and sparring said that it was for people who didnt know any kata

post random coments on every single topic and you will be a black belt in no time

i didnt even feel that (said while holding a pad after the instructer has demonstarated something)

this is going to hurt so just enjoy it

what an idiot and that must have hurt
