I saw in one interview, one of manny's idol is Bruce Lee, and he said he got tips watching him...interesting. What can you guys say about this?

Okay, I'll post a match-up then the next person would decide who will win and how he/she would do that, then it is his/her turn to post a match-up again... Okay' I'll start.. Batista vs Cena Batista..Cena will try the FU but Batista will pull free and do the Spear. He would then finish Cena with a Batista Bomb. Triple H vs HBK Sean Michaels

Cross over, then step back, then pivot then jump..

sword and shield..that's why this combo was used by armies for centuries...

I have been fencing for 5 years too...the problem is, I want to know classical fencing too...

medieval sword work?

yeah, I'll try to post it as soon as i can

im into marvel..hahaha

the joker..he really made the dark knight a blockbuster film..

okay, i was given this sanzibar sword, a traditional filipino (particularly Waray, in the western visayas) sword/tool that is used very much to this day as an all around weapon/tool. It can last for a generation. I mean, my grandmother owns one, and its older than me! haha...i can remember my father using it to cut wood. The only killing i think the sword was used for was to kill snakes. For beauty it might fail your expectation, but usefulness is another thing altogether.

I really want to learn classical fencing..i tried looking at the internet manuals, and did some footworks, comparing it with the sport fencing i know...but i feel im doing a bad job. It's really different if you have a master to teach you and answer your questions.

haha, been fleeting in and out lately bushido_man96, I just graduated and now i have the time (and resources ) to go back to my martial arts training...im still doing fencing once a week, but im semi-retired now in the sport..hehe..anyway, i'll check any more about arnis as i have the time now. I want to do unarmed sport like aikido now..

sorry for the late reply bushido_man96..I've gotten hold of a sanzibar last december 2007. I will post a picture a soon as i can. Its basically a straighter version of the bolo. It is forged only in one town in the province of leyte, eastern visayas region of the philippines. I went there for my thesis research (world war II), so I passed the town.

yes, after almost a year since my last post here, i'd still choose the broomstick. haha

Sorry, It has been a long time since I last posted so I'm a bit disoriented...but now that I have time again to train, I want to study Aikido. The problem is, the more I read about it, the more styles and systems I see. The nearest dojo from my home is a member of the Ki Society... I don't know how to differentiate each systems, except on philosophies..can anyone tell me the specifics? Any thoughts on the matter? Thanks in advance to all the loyal members of Karate Forums!!! I am all in your debt...

my arnis teachers about a year ago told me what bushido man said, it all starts with the sticks, and in reality, this is what most filipinos in college and high schools learn. Sorry BMW, im not really into arnis, but escrimadors from Cebu are generally respected and are highly skilled. Panatukan i've obly heard and seen in the lecture/demo in our class but haven't really been familiar to it. Sorry, i'm not much of a help.

Soul Calibur 3!!!! ..Rafael..haha..like the guy..

Also. how come in many MA movies I see, even in animes..The fencer (western swordsman) is the bad guy? Maybe a bit historical, but the image is just stuck..the dark lord..the black knight...

Got to review star wars literature..I think the new jedi order of luke skywalker uses only three forms, as was supposedly invented by jedi battlemaster kyle katarn...Im not sure though..this was as how I understood it..Anything else?

Bleach..I love this anime..lots of swords flying around...haha

Aldo Nadi? Really? I never knew this...My old fencing master is heavily influenced by nadi...haha..So I got to research about the man...But I never knew this info.. ..Anyway its quite strange for me too..I am a fencer..I only know basic of arnis, karate and jeet combat, and I am a Filipino, while europeans and americans prefer to learn the eastern arts..Acculturation.. ..But this is nice though, as cultures learn to appreciate each other, unlike the bloody past that the east and west have. I still feel that European, and later American plans toward Asia, especially in southeast asia were very much wrong and bigoted (no offense meant), but the martial arts of the present bring ties that transcend such boundaries, and I am very much happy with the developments.

i like the whistle...make them konoha ninjas of jounin rank..haha..anbu..

a i think i heard somewhere about cane fencing...fencing techniques used with a cane...

broom stick...and pray that my mirror image doesn't think of throwing the knife...

I still say soul calibur..hehe..Great game for weapon lovers..
