White Warlock Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Get involved in full contact competition or go to prison if you want to evalutate your skills. Prison is the best place, but it is a bummer beyond belief. Many matial artists have fared poorly behind bars. This is the true tesst of skill. No, this is the true test of stupidity. Excuse me, but where do you get off giving advice like this to minors? Think please... think.

White Warlock Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Gotta love the viagra ad on the homepage.That pretty much told me everything I needed to know about the site. I do hope that the pictures they pirated weren't copyrighted!Many of them were, as well as most of the writings. The viagra ad, along with the picture of a woman, naked but for the gi top, as well as the one posed nude, made it rather clear the sexist mentality. Didn't help to find writings of mixed nature in 'women of wushidao' that ran through a variety of discussions on women, sexuality, and the inference of the woman's 'place' being in the kitchen. Anyway... i looked at your site daoshi and am of the impression this is just a 'fleeting' idea. However, if you could direct me to one of your instructors (which your site states are located all over the U.S.) that is in or near San Diego, CA., I would be willing to give it a more indepth examination.

Sasori_Te Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 What??????? Who picks these best techniques? Best for who? If I had to take a guess, I would say best for the person that doesn't have the patience to study the techniques they aren't good at. At Shodan you are just prepared to start learning the "good stuff". If all you want to know is how to fight, go out and fight. Fight with whomever you can pick a fight with. eventually you'll get better. Streetfighting 101 A block is a strike is a lock is a throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been sampling too much viagra from your own website and lost blood flow to the brain? Going to prison implies commiting crimes. We as martial artists (okay, let me correct, I as a martial artist) should strive to be ethincal people. Ethical people do not attempt to go to prison! Thank you for living up to every negative stereotype those of us in the legitimate martial arts community hold about the "mixed martial arts tough guy bar brawler psychopath I like hurting people" group.

equaninimus Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Go back a page. Its the fourth post from the bottom. Its quite amusing, although I have the feeling it wasn't meant to be.

Sasori_Te Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Wow! That was some web site. Is there any meat to go with all that gravy?!? After I waded through all of the window dressing I couldn't find anything regarding the actual style or where it's taught. I want to know! I want to be a member of "Team Viagra"!

Drunken Monkey Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 well, if you look carefully, what they say is that once you get a black belt in a system you can join them and be one of their black belts. so most of your training does not come from them. or something like that. i kinda got bored after a while. is anything from there an original (read: not plagerised) bit of text there? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."

WhiteBelt Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Want to make your own style? You already are if you're studying MAs. If you can prove that you know what you're doing, and that you can express your ideas then we'll all respect that. Otherwise your style is no different than Joe Blow's Dragon Kung Fu down at the McDojo. It takes time to develope these things, and no amount of marketing will prove otherwise. BTW, you can call it the Joe Blow system if you want (I'm certainly not registering it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
